Circulatory System
Circulatory System is the category for questions about the human circulatory system, including questions about the human heart, arteries, and veins.
2,116 Questions
What are the two types of controlling systems that regulate heart activity?
Autonomic Nervous System:
1) Parasympathetic system
2) Sympathetic system
What are vessels involved in the circulatory pathway to and from the brain?
The jugular veins carry blood from the brain. The carotid arteries carry blood to the brain.
How do the circulatory muscular and skeletal systems work together?
The muscles move bones and bones provide blood cells to the circulatory system. When muscles contract, they help move blood in the veins back to the heart. Many parts of the body work together like this.
Does the systematic circulation flow to the left atrium?
Yes, blood from both the inferior and the superior vena cava flow into the right atrium. Blood from the pulmonary veins coming from the lungs flow into the left atrium.
you wouldn't be able to breathe and you would die.
The nervous system is first, and because of the lack of blood circulation the brain shuts down.
Next is the respitory system, the lungs shut down and that means no oxeygen to the body
What are Five interesting things about the circulatory system?
the time necessary for one drop of blood to circulate through the body is one minute. The time it takes for one drop of cerebrospinal fluid to circulate through the spinal canal and brain is 30 seconds. So. . .any drug or chemicals that are transported through the blood-brain barrier gets circulated twice the time of the blood. This is one reason it is very easy to become addicted to drugs and very difficult to withdraw from the physiological need for addictive substances.
1. one drop of blood contains half a drop of plasma,5 million red blood cells,10 thousand white blood cells, and 250 thousand platelets!
2. you can probably wrap your blood vessels around the equator twice!
one fact about it is that it transports materials to the blood cells
it means i have no idea and this should be a website where u can find answer why the hell would put this i hate this!!!!!!!!!!!!
The circulatory system (or cardiovascular system) is an organ systemcells, and helps stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis. While humans, as well as other vertebrates have a closed circulatory system, some invertebrateopen circulatory system. The most primitive animal phyla lack circulatory systems. that moves nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from groups have
The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins. As blood begins to circulate, it leaves the heart from the left ventricle and goes into the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The blood leaving the aorta is full of oxygen. This is important for the cells in the brain and the body to do their work. The oxygen rich blood travels throughout the body in its system of arteries into the smallest arterioles. On its way back to the heart, the blood travels through a system of veins. As it reaches the lungs, the carbon dioxide (a waste product) is removed from the blood and replace with fresh oxygen that we have inhaled through the lungs.
On average, your body has about 5 liters of blood continually traveling through it by way of the circulatory system. The heart, the lungs, and the blood vessels work together to form the circle part of the circulatory system. The pumping of the heart forces the blood on its journey. The body's circulatory system really has three distinct parts: pulmonary circulation, coronary circulation, and systemic circulation. Or, the lungs (pulmonary), the heart (coronary), and the rest of the system (systemic). Each part must be working independently in order for them to all work together.

your answers please i am waiting
-The Circulatory System brings oxygen and glucose together to create energy, water, and carbon dioxide.
-it distributes nutrients and such to every single one of your cells
-It also carries your blood
-The Circulatory System is made up of capillaries, veins, and arteries
-Capillaries distribute blood to all of your cells. They are smaller than a hair.
-Veins bring the non-oxygenated blood back to your heart
-Arteries take the oxygenated blood from the heart
Your heart beats about 60-100 times a min.

What are the functions for the human circulatory system?
1: Carrying nutrients to the cells
2: Carrying wastes away from the cells
3: Carrying chemical messangers from one part of the body to another
4: Distributing heat throughout the body
5: Maintaining acceptable levels of body fluid (with help from the kidneys)
6: Defending against invading organisms (to some degree)
How does the koala circulatory system work?
The Koala bears circulstory system is just like the humans, witch is blood flowing threw your veins.
Why do some people think the blood is blue?
It likely emanates from the old myth that blood is blue until it hits oxygen. It is common though in diagrams of the cardiovascular system to designate arteries are red and veins as blue although neither are actually that color.
The heart pumps blood into two pathways called what?
PULMONARY to lungs and back
SYSTEMIC to body parts and back
What foods cause your circulatory system to be healthy?
Some foods that known to improve blood circulation are salmon, goji berries, oranges, avocados, and lemons. Other foods on the list are dark chocolate, garlic, ginger, and watermelon.
What converts and neutralizes ammonia from the circulatory system to urea?
Liver- Narutogurl aka nivniv :)
ummmmmm.NO the liver does remove wastes n stuff but only the kidneys may convert exccess amino acids to ureaHaha.ooops sorry...forget wat i seaid about the kidneys.....the answer is liver. :pWhats the main function of the circulatory system?
The main jobs of the circulatory system is to transport blood and serum to all tissues and organs, nutrients including oxygen and glucose to cells, and waste products from the cells to the intestinal tract and kidneys.
What are the characteristics of a closed system?
A closed system does not require contact and interaction with the environment in order to survive, this could also be considered a characteristic. A closed system could also be referred to as an isolated system in thermodynamics.
How does the circulatory system help you get more energy to cells for running?
The Circulatory System circulates blood throughout the body. This blood has red blood cells that carry oxygen. When you are exercising, your heart beats faster to get more oxygen to the cells. This lets the blood travel faster, delivering more oxygen, which when received by cells is used by the mitochondria (the energy source of cells) to produce energy.
Why is a light bulb not a closed system?
it is a closed system. no matter or energy flows across the boundary
What is the lower part of the heart?
The heart is divided into four chambers. The two bottom heart chambers are called the ventricles. The upper chambers are the atrials.
What are three examples of the circulatory system working with another system in your body?
Three examples would be:
-digestive system, where nutrients enter the bloodstream
-endocrine system, where hormones enter the bloodstream
-immune system, where blood, organs, tissues, cells, and cell products work together to respond to dangerous organisms that enter the body.
