human circulatory pathways
Answers
Answer:
The circulatory system consists of three independent systems that work together: the heart (cardiovascular), lungs (pulmonary), and arteries, veins, coronary and portal vessels (systemic). The system is responsible for the flow of blood, nutrients, oxygen and other gases, and as well as hormones to and from cells.
Question
Human circulatory pathways
Answer
◇Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body.
◇From the tissue capillaries, the deoxygenated blood returns through a system of veins to the right atrium of the heart.
◇The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body.
◇It consists of the heart and the blood vessels running through the entire body.
◇The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart.
