What is the Cardiopulmonary system?
the cardiopulmonary system consists of your heart and lungs which are located in the thoracic cavity of the body. the cardiopulmonary system consists of your heart and lungs which are located in the thoracic cavity of the body.
What can cause a person's circulatory system to be damaged?
the circulatory system can be affected by something happening to something important in it such as the heart.that is one of the most important things in the circulatory system.
How does the body benefit when the circulatory system and respiratory system work together?
The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to ensure that oxygen is efficiently delivered to the body's tissues while removing carbon dioxide. When you breathe in, oxygen enters the lungs and diffuses into the blood, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. The circulatory system then transports this oxygen-rich blood to cells throughout the body, supporting cellular respiration and energy production. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide produced by cells is transported back to the lungs for exhalation, maintaining proper pH balance and overall homeostasis.
What is the approximate diameter of a blood vessel?
In different parts of the body the blood vessels are of different diameters. The normal diameter of the aorta is around 2 cm and this would be the largest vessel in the human body, while the smallest, a capillary would be between 0.5 to 2.28 mm in diameter.
What is the name of the organ that receives the blood from the veins and sends it into the arteries?
That is the Heart.
What side feeds blood to the heart?
The right side. Below is a description of the blood flow through the heart and body.
Deoxogenized blood enters through the superior and inferior vena cava into the right atrium, goes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, then pumped through the plumonary artery to the lungs. The blood comes back from the lungs oxygenized through the plumonary vein into the left atrium, through the mitral valve, into the left ventricle o be pumped through the aorta to the entire human body... and then the cycle repeats.
What is the primary function of a circultory system?
The word circulatory is the key word. The circulatory system circulates blood throughout the body.
The circulatory system helps provide energy to the body when it?
The circulatory system helps provide energy to the body by transporting oxygen and nutrients from the lungs and digestive tract to cells throughout the body. Oxygen-rich blood, pumped by the heart, delivers essential nutrients needed for cellular respiration, the process that converts glucose into energy. Additionally, it removes carbon dioxide and other waste products, ensuring that cells can function efficiently and maintain energy levels. This continuous flow is vital for sustaining physical activity and overall health.
Smooth muscle (involuntary)lines ducts and vessels.
What two organs make up the circulatory system?
The term cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio) and the blood vessels (vascular). The cardiovascular system includes the heart, arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, and capillaries.
I would say that the heart and the blood vessels are the main components of the cirulatory system. This means that the Heart and blood vessels have the task of delivering blood to the organism cells.
But a third component that is vital to complete the cardiovascular system is the respiratory system. It doesn't pump the blood, but the cardiovascular system wouldn't be complete without this third component, because the oxygen would not be delivered to the cells. However, the response to your question is contained in the first paragraph, in bold.
What system works best with the circulatory system?
Sort of depends on just what you mean by "best",
but the respiratory system certainly works the closest.
What is considered low diastolic in an 88 year old female?
Below 60 would be considered a low diastolic range*.
Normal adult range:
90 to 120 systolic
60 to 80 diastolic
* Note:
Age is not actually a factor here. Only children have a variable range far outside the adult normal range. Adults of any age are expected to fall within the same range.Also gender plays only a minor role in evaluating blood pressure. Females tend to be on the lower end of the healthy range; males tend to be on the higher end of the healthy range. But as an overall average, the range covers both genders.
Activity levels and eating habits have a far higher impact on blood pressure than age.
Can tricuspid Regurgitation be repaired?
Most of the time its caused because of retrograde pulmonary hypertension, so if whatever is causing it is dealt with, the tricuspid regurgitation should stop, since its a functional response and not necessarily pathological. On the other hand, if it was caused by direct damage to the tricuspid valve, then it can't be repaired and has to be replaced with a prosthesis
Is lymph most silmilar to water?
yes it is a clear faintly yellowish watery fluid derived from body tissue that contains white blood cells and circulates the body's lymphatic sysytem.
I think you mean an MRI scan. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a scan used for a medical imaging procedure. An MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to take pictures of the body's interior. An MRI is used to investigate or diagnose conditions such as tumours, joint or spinal injuries or diseases, soft tissue injuries or diseases of internal organs such as the brain or heart.
Do insects have a circulatory system like ours do they have a heart where is it?
insects have open circulatory system. they don't have veins or arteries like humans or animals. Insect blood is called hemolymph that is green or yellow in colour. it flows freely through the body cavity and
makes direct contact with organs and tissues.
The insect heart is basically a tube, sealed at one end, which runs along their back.
