    Capillaries exchange fluids‚ gasses‚ heat‚ nutrients and wastes to the tissues through diffusion. Capillary walls contain small pores that are selectively permeable allowing only certain molecules to pass in and out. This exchange is controlled by blood pressure through hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure is produced by high levels and salts and proteins in the blood. As blood enters the capillary by the arteriole end the blood pressure is higher than the osmotic pressure

    length of blood vessels is twice the circumference of the equator Arteries carry blood away‚ they branch into arterioles Arterioles are small vessels that convey blood to the capillaries. Capillaries are microscopic vessels with very thin‚ porous walls. Networks of capillaries are called capillary beds Sites of diffusion They converge into venules at the downstream end‚ and venules converge into veins Portal veins are the only veins that carry blood between capillary beds Heart: Atria - chambers

    atria and two ventricles it also has two pairs of valves (atrioventricular valves and the semilunar valves). The arteries‚ arterioles‚ veins and venules have the same tissue layout but different thickness of the tissues is different. It also contains nervous tissue which is under the control of autonomic nervous system controlling whether the heart beat speeds up or slows down. In arteries there is a thicker smooth muscle layer to resist bursting. The blood is made up of plasma a fluid matrix and different

    collects carbon dioxide and enters through the vena cava into the right atrium of the heart. The right ventricle then pumps blood through the pulmonary artery into the lungs. In the lungs‚ tiny blood vessels called capillaries absorb carbon dioxide from the blood and replace it with oxygen. Our oxygenated blood then flows through the pulmonary vein and into the left atrium. Oxygenated blood then pumps through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle. The left side of our heart contracts the

    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
