What is the job of the Circulatory System? The Circulatory System is responsible for transporting materials throughout the entire body. It transports nutrients‚ water‚ and oxygen to your billions of body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide that body cells produce. It is an amazing highway that travels through your entire body connecting all your body cells. Parts of the Circulatory System The circulatory System is divided into three major parts: 1. The Heart 2. The

Ventricle & Left Ventricle. Blood flows a particular path through the human body. It moves through the Pulmonary Circulation which is circulation to the lungs and continues through Systemic Circulation which is circulation to the rest of the body. This Two part system’s purpose is to bring oxygen bearing blood to all the tissues of the Body. During Pulmonary Circulation blood circulates to and from the lungs to release carbon dioxide and pick up new oxygen. The veins bring

Neonatal respiratory failure affects 2% of all live births‚ and is responsible for over 40% of all neonatal mortality. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of a new born (PPHN) is a life threatening disease with many causes that effects both full term‚ near term infants usually in the first 72 hours after birth. Although most infants recover‚ PPHN causes a severe problem in the infant’s lungs due to high blood pressure. About 500-700 babies are affected by PPHN each year. A better understanding of

Introduction: The overall nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System‚ with the autonomic nervous system being a division of the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system regulates glands as well as the smooth and cardiac muscle. There are three separate systems within the autonomic nervous system and are called the sympathetic nervous system‚ parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. They are responsible for the ‘fight

fresh oxygen can be picked up. The systemic circulation of a human is a loop from the heart to the various parts of the body‚ which works in contrast to the pulmonary circulation. In the systemic circulation‚ arteries collect the oxygen-rich blood from the heart and transport it to the body tissues. In the process‚ oxygen from the blood is diffused into the body cells‚ and carbon dioxide from the cells is diffused in the blood. The pulmonary circulation‚ however‚ is a loop from the heart to the lungs
