Circulatory System

A stop-start pattern; that is why we feel a pulse, instead of a constant pressure.

they diffrentiate

they breath through their gills and they breath out like us but the only difference is that they have gills and lungs.

food ingested is broken down into smaller pieces via mechanical and chemical digestion. this takes place in the mouth stomach and the intestine. it is then absorbed (taken in) by cells of the gut called enterocytes. these cells then transfer the nutrients into the capillaries supplying the gut. in this way nutrients from your diet enter the circulatory system to transfer them to other tissues

The same as it does when you are standing on your feet. Your heart pumps and forces the blood through your body.

blood provides oxygen to the body

The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels.

As you probably already now, fat (if too much) can easily clog up major arteries, Your body requires energy in order for bodily processes to function. If your body does not have enough calories in a day (this can be through diet and exercise where your forcing your body to burn storage fat) it will turn to your storage fat supply. The first source the body turns to is glycogen. When those sources are nearly depleted, the body begins lipolysis, the mobilisation and catabolism of fat stores for energy. In this process, fats, obtained from fat cells, are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, which are then used to make energy. The primary by-products of metabolism are carbon dioxide and water; carbon dioxide is expelled through the respiratory system. The heart need blood to function properly, and with all that fat... Your heart is going to have major problems The recommended intake of fats in the most countries diet is to limit fats to below 30 percent of the total daily caloric intake. One-third of fats should come from saturated fats, with the other two-thirds split evenly between monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. It is estimated that in the average American diet (as of 2002), fats make up 42 percent of calories, with saturated fat making up between a third and a half of that amount. The effect of this excess intake of dietary fat has some well-established implications for the health of overweight Americans. For instance, the consumption of excess amounts of saturated fats has been recognized as the most important dietary factor to increase levels of cholesterol. A high cholesterol level is detrimental to health and leads to a condition known as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of cholesterol on the walls of arteries , which may eventually result in the blocking of blood flow. When this occurs in the arteries of the heart, it is called coronary artery disease. When this process occurs in the heart, a myocardial infarction, or heart attack , may occur. Besides the cholesterol implications due to high fat intake, obesity is a factor in the causation of disease. Being overweight or obese is highly associated with increasing the risk of type II diabetes, gallbladder disease, cardiovascular disease, ect.

In a unicellular organism there are organelles within the cell, which have specialized functions, and in order for these organelles to work together to create a functioning cell, there has to be some means by which chemicals of various sorts can travel from one organelle to another. That is accomplished by a cellular circulatory system.

Some exercises that help the cardiovascular system are running, moderate-intensity walking, swimming, moderate-intensity dancing, kickboxing, biking etc. Really anything that gets the heart rate up and where the energy system used requires oxygen are exercises that are aerobic.

Let's follow the flow of blood starting at the Aorta, the aorta is the main blood vessle that carries O2 rich blood to the vital organs, organs, systems, extremities, muscles, and most importantly the brain. All the above mentioned use the oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as a by product. The CO2 , carried by the blood travels back to the heartand enters the Right Atrium, another beat of the heart, the b;ood now moves through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. Remember, this is oxygen poor blood so withamother beat the blood mooves through the pulmonary arteries, (left & Right), to the lungs. Inside the lungs the blood drops off CO2 and picks up O2 using a process called Osmosis*. The blood at the moment has little pressure so it goes back into the heart through the Pulmonary Veins into the Left Atrium. A beat of the heart sends it into the Left Ventricle. Around this chamber is a large muscle called the Myo Cardium and this muscle gives the pressure needed to push this blood oround the entire body. *Osmosis, the diffusion of water or another solvent through a selectively permeable membrane. This membrane is like a sieve, allowing solvent molecules, which are small, to pass through it, but preventing larger molecules dissolved in the solvent from passing through.

five common circulatory system

The Heart, the Vena Cava, the Aorta, the arterioles, veins, arteries, and capillaries are structures included in the circulatory system.

The main purpose of the vena cava is to carry deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body to the heart. It carries this blood to the right atrium of the human heart.

The respiratory system function is gases exchange, deoxygenated red blood cells (meaning, they're full of CO2) get to the lungs from the heart through the pulmonary artery, and when it reaches the alveoli, the CO2 gets exchanged for O2 from the alveolar sac, oxygenating the red blood cells, then the blood goes back to the heart through the pulmonary veins and gets pumped to the rest of the body through the aorta, the O2 gets exchanged back for the CO2 produced by the cells, then goes back to the heart. Rinse and repeat.

When the nervous system doesn't function properly you may not be able to move or feel as others do. Your doctor may have medications that can help you slow the deterioration of your nervous system.

it is because the right side of the heart takes the oxygenated blood around to the other parts of the body while the left side takes the deoxygenated blood to the lungs so it basically swaps the other way around because in a baby that has already been born, the right side of the heart would take the deoxygenated blood to the lungs and the left side takes the oxygenated blood to the other parts of the body.

The Circulatory system is usually caused by the clot of the aorta which is the largest artery in your body

The blood in the right atrium comes from the large veins the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. It is impure blood or deoxygenated blood, and this is pumped down the right ventricle to the lungs for purification and oxygenation, and returned to the heart to be pumped out to supply the vital organs and tissues in the body.

consise description of 'describe the circulatory system' an overview synopsis. required?

Each part of the circulatory system has its own function. The heart, through its rhythmic beating, enables blood to circulate throughout the body, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and collecting their waste. Blood travels through different vessels in entering and leaving the heart.

Blood is 90% plasma. So think about it,an average adult has 10 pints of blood that equals 11 pounds. So that makes about 9.9 pounds of blood.
