Document Summary

Transport mechanism for the body: nutrients macronutrient and micronutrient, gases oxygen and carbon dioxide, end products of metabolism and hormones. The central pump: left and right heart pumps independently, but pumps at the same time. A network of tubing: sends blood to tissues. Fluid in the cv system: blood is a type of connective tissue. Right: collects blood, contains 1/3 of the heart. Left: delivers blood, contains 2/3 of the heart. Generates blood pressure: flow = pressure/resistance, flow is dictated by the heart, resistance is dictated by the blood vessels. Routes blood: separates the pulmonary, systemic and coronary circulations. Ensures one-way blood flow: valves prevent backflow, veins use valves to prevent backflow, arteries use pressure to prevent backflow. Regulates blood supply: changes flow of blood with contraction rate and force, to match changing metabolic needs, blood is redirected through the vasculature. The heart is located in the mediastinum: the core of the thoracic cavity.
