What is pespiration?

Perspiration is another name for sweat. Humans sweat to help cool their bodies down during very hot weather. This helps to maintain the internal body temperature of 98.6 degrees and prevent overheating.

What is a correct definition for arteries?

Any of the muscular elastic tubes that form a branching system and that carry blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues, and organs of the body.

How are the circulatory and digestive systems related?

The circulatory and digestive systems are indirectly related. Digestion passes important nutrients to the blood while the blood circulates oxygen for cellular respiration. The digestive system takes in and uses food. This food is broken down. When broken down a part of it is called glucose and is used for respiration. Respiration produces energy, CO2 and water. The energy is used by the entire body. The heart also uses it to pump blood around the body. This is the connection between the digestive and circulatory system.

The small intestine contains many blood vessels which absorb the nutrients from the food into the blood. Both systems help keep each other (and the entire body) alive. The digestive system needs oxygen and blood to stay alive, and the circulatory system needs nutrition to stay alive.

The nutrients in the food are absorbed by the digestive system and transferred to the blood vessels which carry blood around the body and to the heart. If the circulatory system were not functioning, the digestive system would not be provided with enough oxygen to function. Alternatively, if the digestive system did not work, then the heart would not have the proper nutrients to function.

The food that we eat provide nutrients to the blood, after it has been digested. The digestive system provides energy for the heart to pump blood. The villi in the small intestine have capillaries on them that transport the nutrients after being digested to the blood stream. The function of the circulatory system is to carry around oxygen and nutrients, so that is the relationship.

How does a roundworms digestive system work?

Guess who i am people.. How about you get off this website and look it up. Ha whoever wrote that is dumb because we are here for a reason!

How do earthworms benefit from a closed circulatory system?

Earthworms have a closed circulatory system, meaning that they contain blood in different blood vessels; the Arteries which are a form of blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, the veins which are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart, and the capillaries which are tiny blood vessels between arteries and veins that distribute oxygen-rich blood to the body, a animal is classified as a closed circulatory because all of these vessels are pumped via its heart beats which is then pushed throughout its body by contractions callled 'Peristalsis'

What discoveries did William Harvey and Andreas Vesalius and Marcello Malpighi make about the circulatory system and were they accepted during their time?

Oh, dude, William Harvey was like, "Hey, check out this blood circulation thing," and people were like, "Hmm, interesting." And then Vesalius and Malpighi were all, "Yo, we found some cool stuff about the heart and blood vessels," and folks were like, "Nice." So yeah, their discoveries were eventually accepted, but it probably took a bit of convincing because, you know, people can be slow to catch on.

What is the fourth part of the circulatory system?

You need to see your doctor, as you shouldn't be having break through bleeding if you haven't missed any pills. You may need to go on a different birth control pill.

What are the importance of cerebrum?

The Cerebrum is the part of the nervous system mostly refered to as the Big Brain. It is divided into 2 hemispheres namely the left and right hemisphere. The importance of this organ lies on its function namely:

  1. Determining Intelligence
  2. Determining Personality
  3. Thinking
  4. Perceiving
  5. Producing and Understanding Language
  6. Interpretation of Sensory Impulses
  7. Motor Function
  8. Planning and Organization
  9. Touch Sensation

What are the thin-walled vessels of the circulatory system where most oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?

No, all gas exchange is done through capillaries. Both veins and arteries are too thick and contain muscle layers that prevent gas exchange. However, capillaries are small enough (blood cells can only pass through one at a time) that oxygen can pass to the tissues and carbon dioxide can pass to the RBCs.

What difference between open and close circulatory system?

In closed circulation blood flows through blood vessels as in human beings. But in certain animals as insects blood flows in open spaces without blood vessels.

How is diffusion used when cells remove carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells from a higher to lower concentration across the cell membrane. Then the CO2 moves through the capillary wall across the diffusion gradient. The diffusion process is repeated at the capillary/alveolar junction.

If your heart is beating 118 beats to 127 beats per minute resting is something wrong?

Yes, it is twice a "normal" rate for an adult.

The best to do is to consult a doctor.

CAN BLOOD FLOW BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS IN THE BLOOD CELLS?

Blood cells are a part of blood. Blood is not a part of blood cells. Blood can't flow backward and forward within blood cells. Blood cells can flow backward and forward within blood.

What will happen if the circulatory system does not circulate to the lungs or the small intestines?

Then your lungs can't provide oxygen or nutrients to the blood that the heart pumps out to other parts of the body.

What is the purpose of systemic circulation?

The purpose of systemic circulation is to carry blood from the heart to the body. It then returns the blood back to the heart.

How does the circulatory system assist the excretory system in removing urea?

Urea is produced by the liver and released into the blood, which transports it to the kidneys to be filtered.
