Document Summary

The circulatory system is composed of the __heart_, blood vessels, and blood. Circulatory system is divided into two sections: (a) pulmonary circuit - blood vessels going to and from the __lungs__ (b) __systemic__ circuit - blood vessels going to and from the rest of the tissues of the body: heart. The heart is a four chamber, __muscular___ __pump__ which propels blood through the blood vessels. Atria - the two _upper__ chambers of the heart. A __septum__ divides the left and right sides of the heart two pumps. The right ventricle pumps blood through the ___pulmonary__ circuit while left ventricle pumps blood through the __systemic__ circuit. The wall of the left ventricle is _thicker__ than the wall of the right ventricle because the systemic circulation is a much higher pressure system than the pulmonary circulation. The direction of blood flow through the heart is controlled by unidirectional.

Explain the vital functions of the circulatory system & how itaccomplishes these functions. In this case, you would need to makesure you explain what the heart, blood vessels, and blood do &how they do it. For example

Why is an open circulatory system less efficient than a closedcirculatory system?

A. Metabolic wastes cannot be removed from tissues in an opencirculatory system.

B. Blood cannot be used to transport nutrients in an opencirculatory system.

C. There is no heart to pump the blood in an open circulatorysystem.

D. Open circulatory systems lack respiratory pigments that bindto oxygen.

E. It is more difficult to quickly deliver O2 tospecific tissues when needed with an open circulatory system.

The human heart is a four-chambered hydraulic pump. A hydraulic pump uses differences in pressure to move material from areas of higher pressures to areas of lower pressures. The pressure differences created by the heart move blood between the chambers and the circulatory systems. Let's begin our discussion by identifying the chambers of the heart and their functions, the associated valves, and the names and general route of their associated great vessels.
