What else can I help you with?
Definition of transfusion?
An act of transferring donated blood, blood products, or other fluid into the circulatory system of a person or animal.
What are the circulatory circuits?
The human body has a dual circulatory system: one circuit takes blood to and from the lungs (pulmonary circuit), the other supplies blood to the rest of the body.
Does a crayfish have a open or closed circulatory system?
Crayfish, along with all other arthropods, have an open circulatory system. There are no veins and no separation of blood from interstitial fluid.
Why do horseshoe crabs have blue blood?
Horseshoe crab blood is blue because it has copper in it instead of iron like human blood. Our blood is blue inside and turns red when it hits air. Horseshoe crab blood is red inside and turns blue when it hits air. It's the other way around.
Do fruit flies have blood in their bodies?
Yes, fruit flies have a circulatory system that contains a fluid called hemolymph, which is similar to blood in other animals.
What is a open and closed circulatory system?
In a closed circulatory system, the circulatory fluid remains within blood vessels at all points in the circulatory system. In an open circulatory system, the circulating fluid enters a sinus at least at one point in the circulating system and thus comes in direct contact with the tissues.
Does a crayfish have an open circulatory system?
Crayfish, along with all other arthropods, have an open circulatory system. There are no veins and no separation of blood from interstitial fluid.
What is hemolymph?
All vertebratescirculate blood within blood vessels. Because blood is enclosed within blood vessels, the circulatory systems of vertebrates are called closed circulatory systems. Some animals without vertebrae, called invertebrates, have circulatory systems that do not contain blood vessels. In these open circulatory systems, the fluid analogous to blood is called hemolymph (Greek, hemo, blood + lympha, water). Examples of animals that circulate hemolymph include insectsand aquatic arthropodssuch as lobstersand crawfish. Like blood, hemolymph transports oxygen and carbondioxide and has a limited clotting ability. Unlike blood, hemolymph is colorless. Other invertebrates have no true circulatory system. In these animals, it is not possible to distinguish blood or hemolymph from the watery fluid that bathes the tissues. This fluid contains a few defensive cells, proteins, and salts. However, oxygen and carbon dioxide are not transported in this fluid.
What is the name of the human organ system that goes to blood?
The human organ system that circulates blood is called the circulatory system or the cardiovascular system. It consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood. This system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other substances throughout the body, as well as removes waste products.
What is the difference between the plant transport system and the human circulatory system?
In the human circulatory system, it transports blood rich in oxygen from the heart to the other parts of the body and transports blood rich in carbon dioxidefrom the rest of the body to the heart. On the other hand, in the plant transport system, it transports water from the roots to the rest of the plant and also transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant/ to the roots to be stored.
A segmented worm's circulatory system?
The circulatory fluid (I don't think its blood) and respiratory pigments circulate in vessels and never leave the vessels, much like that of humans and other mammals. This is in contrast to the circulatory system of insects, where the fluid (haemolymph) goes from the heart, through a vessel and then flows out to surround or 'bathe' the organs
What is the water contain in human blood?
Water is water, doesn't matter where it comes from. The fluid that has water and lots of other stuff in the blood is plasma.
