closed circulatory system of some mollusks and all higher invertebrates and the vertebrates is a much more efficient system. Here blood is pumped through a closed system of arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. Capillaries surround the organs‚ making sure that all cells have an equal opportunity for nourishment and removal of their waste products. However‚ even closed circulatory systems differ as we move further up the evolutionary tree. One of the simplest types of closed circulatory systems is found

Pig and Human Anatomy In today’s standard anatomy classes- among other science classes- pigs are the most commonly dissected mammal because they have the most similar anatomy to a human. They have the same organs and many of the same muscles pertaining to similar human functions. When dissecting pigs it is important to remember the basic directional points. For example‚ median means to the middle‚ lateral means to the sides‚ dorsal is the belly-side‚ etc. It is also important to have lab safety

The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory system‚ is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and blood. The term cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio-) and blood vessels (vascular). The term circulatory refers to the circulation of the blood. The heart is a muscular pump and its regular contractions send blood into tough‚ elastic tubes called arteries‚ which branch into smaller vessels and convey oxygen-rich blood through the body. The arteries eventually divide into tiny capillaries

The Circulatory System The circulatory system is the system of the human body that is responsible for delivering oxygen‚ nutrients‚ and disease-fighting cells to the body’s organs and tissues. Parts of the circulatory system include the cardiovascular system‚ which consists of the heart‚ lungs‚ blood vessels‚ and blood‚ as well as the lymphatic system‚ made up of the lymph vessels‚ nodes‚ and lymph itself. The cardiovascular system brings oxygen and glucose to the body’s tissues in the blood and

The circulator system of spiders * Spiders are arthropods and they have an open circulatory system. * The open circulatory system is a system in which the organs are directly bathed with nutrients and oxygen. The blood flow is not restricted as much as a closed circulatory system. * The spider’s heart is a simple heart‚ a tube surrounded by muscle with a one-way valve at each end. * It is located in the abdomen a short distance within the middle line of the dorsal body-wall‚ and

The Circulatory System The Circulatory System is designed to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body and pick up waste materials and toxins for elimination. This system is made up of the heart‚ the veins‚ the arteries‚ and the capillaries. Circulation is achieved by a continuous one-way movement of blood throughout the body. The network of blood vessels that flow through the body is so extensive that blood flows within close proximity to almost every cell. Heart The heart

The Blood Circulatory System The Circulatory system is a system in the bodies of all organisms that moves the nutrients that are needed as well as gases and wastes to and from cells and helps fight unwanted bacteria and other diseases. It also helps alleviate the body temperature to maintain homeostasis‚ which is the property of either an open system or a closed system in a living organism. It brings the body’s cells what they need in order to survive – oxygen and nutrients. The center of the circulatory
