Circulatory systems Closed circulatory systems: • Blood leaves heart under pressure to arteries then arterioles then capillaries. • Capillaries come in large numbers. They exchange substances between the blood and cells. • After passing through capillaries‚ blood goes back to the heart via veins. • Valves in the veins ensure that blood only flows in one direction. Single circulatory system: • Heart pumps deoxygenated blood. • Gaseous exchange (diffusion of CO2 from blood to H2O and diffusion

The Benefits of Human Cloning There are many ways in which in which human cloning is expected to benefit mankind. Below is a list that is far from complete. • Dr. Richard Seed‚ one of the leading proponents of human cloning technology‚ suggests that it may someday be possible to reverse the aging process because of what we learn from cloning. • Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning
