repoKatina Barker April 13‚ 2010 Biology Lab Thursday@3:30-6:20pm Introduction This week in Biology Lab we learned the effects of caffeine and nicotine on heart rate. Based on previous knowledge of caffeine and nicotine‚ I came up with the following hypothesis; The presence of nicotine will slow the heart rate of the worm and the presence of caffeine will speed the rate up. My hypothesis was based on what I seen in everyday life. A person who smokes a lot of cigarettes usually have a

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

body through a series of arteries‚ veins and capillaries. Arteries and capillaries send blood from the heart to all areas of the body‚ while veins help bring that blood back to the heart. Arteries carries oxygenated blood away from the heart‚ and veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. This process is called circulation. The roles are revered in pulmonary circulation. The pulmonary arteries bring deoxygenated blood to your lungs‚ while the pulmonary veins will bring

As they travel farther away from the heart‚ arteries branch out into arterioles‚ which are smaller and less flexible. Veins carry blood back to the heart. They are not as muscular as arteries‚ but they contain valves that prevent blood from flowing backwards. Veins have the same three layers that arteries have. However veins are thinner and less flexible. The two largest veins are the superior and inferior vena cavae. In this context‚ superior and inferior do not mean better and worse. The terms

in the body. The arteries are strong tubes or vessels that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body. Arteries transport blood containing oxygen and nutrients to smaller tubes called arterioles‚ which delivered blood to smaller vessels. Veins take the deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The functions of the circulatory system are respiration‚ nutrition‚ waste removal‚ and immunity. Respiration delivers oxygen to the cells and removing carbon dioxide from them and nutrition carries digested
