The function of the cardiovascular system The Cardiovascular system circulates oxygen and nutrients to body cells and tissues. It also allows for removal of carbon dioxide and wastes from those cells and tissues. The cardiovascular system delivers hormones to targeted tissues‚ maintains body temperature‚ and helps defend the body. The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart‚ blood and blood vessels. The heart is the pump of the cardiovascular system. It consists of 4 chambers‚ which is

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

Research & Methods Concerning Potassium Channels in the Cardiovascular System Response to Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension ABSTRACT Research concerning the functional role of potassium ions in the cardiovascular system with respect to hypertension and diabetes mellitus has boomed in the past decade. Through a series of experiments‚ data has been gathered which shows the diverse response of K+ channels in the cardiovascular system when exposed to these diseases. In elevated glucose levels

the three energy systems that are responsible for the production of ATP. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the immediately usable form of chemical energy use for muscular activity. It is stored in most cells‚ especially muscle cells. Other forms of chemical energy‚ such as that available from foods we eat must be transforming into ATP before they can be utilized by muscle cells . Human body cells generated ATP by three methods which are: I. ATP-PC system II. Glycolytic system III. Oxidative

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM The Cardiovascular system consists of the cardio -heart and the vessels that carry blood to all parts of the body. If this system does not work properly then oxygen‚ hormones‚ water‚ nutrients and wastes won’t reach their target destinations. 5 liters of blood in body.

The cardiovascular system plays a very important role in keeping the body alive. It is responsible for transportation of blood around the body. Blood carries many important things such as oxygen and nutrients to various organs allowing them to function properly. Blood also carries waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs for gas exchange and metabolic waste to the kidneys for filtration and excretion. The cardiovascular system comprises of three different parts these being the heart‚ blood and

History of China-Russia energy deals Now I would like to explain you something about the history of energy deals between Russia and China. Despite frequent declaration of goodwill and bilateral energy cooperation the Russian- Chinese energy relations since 1991 have been limited by mutual suspicion‚ pricing concerns‚ inadequate transportation infrastructure‚ and competition for influence in Eurasia. The official relationship between China and Russia has been upgraded three times since the establishment

Study of Oxygen Consumption to Measure Energy Metabolism in Mammals Brianne Simonsen Lab Section 8 4 Oct. 2005 Abstract In this experiment the oxygen consumption of a mouse in environments of varying temperatures was studied. The hypothesis behind this experiment was that more oxygen would be consumed at a lower temperature to maintain body heat. To measure the rate of oxygen consumption a mouse was given a specific amount of oxygen. The amount consumed in a specific time was measured and
