Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

Reviewing Physiological Data Effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system: Musculoskeletal system The musculoskeletal system is made of muscles‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ bones/joints and associated tissues that move the body and maintain its form. This system operates under the control of the nervous system producing voluntary movements. “This system protects the brain and internal organs‚ maintains up right posture‚ blood cell formation‚ mineral homeostasis‚ stores fat and minerals”. During this

Cardiovascular system consists of the heart which pumping and transporting blood to the body through blood vessels which is the other part of the cardiovascular system. The blood vessels consist of veins‚ capillaries‚ and arteries. Each one of the blood vessels has a specific function such as arteries which transfer the blood from the heart to the whole body‚ and veins which have the reverse process which carries the blood back to the heart. This is a simple definition of cardiovascular system. Then this

Explain the relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems. The relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems is that we are made up of bones all throughout our body and we need this to stand and hold our body together‚ similar to the skeletal system the muscular system is made up of soft tissue and is lined all over our body. We could not stand without the system as well. 2. Why is the circulatory system important? This system is important because it is used to circulate blood around

The cardiovascular system is a vital part of our body and it is crucial for us to lead a healthy lifestyle to maintain the structures of our body. Structures of the cardiovascular system include the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. Structures of the Cardiovascular System Heart The heart is the most important organ in our body as it provides every part with blood. The heart pumps blood by producing electrical impulses which cause the ventricles to contract and relax and pump blood to the

Circulatory System of Frogs vs. Circulatory System of Humans The circulatory system of a human compared to that of a frog is different due to the number of chambers each contains. A frog’s heart has three chambers (two atria‚ and a single ventricle)‚ whereas a human’s has four (two atria‚ and two ventricles). The atrium of a frog receives deoxygenated blood from the blood vessels that drain the various organs of the body. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and skin. Both

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
