The Circulatory/Blood System

All of the body systems rely on other systems in order to function. The circulatory system relies on the respiratory system for oxygen delivery. The respiratory system relies on the muscular system for inspiration and expiration. The immune system relies on the circulatory system for movement of cells that provide immune function. All systems rely on circulation for nutrients and on the nervous system for regulatory control. These are just a few examples of how each system is interconnected, there are many more instances. It is important to know the positioning of the organs in each body system because the location of an organ often relates directly to its function and its relationship with the organs around it. For example, digestive glands

The Circulatory system is responsible for the transport of blood throughout the body. The Circulatory system has many organs. The main components are the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels. It also consists of arteries, arterioles,

Unit D: Human Systems in Biology 20 is one of the main sections that becomes relatable to the Program of Studies (POS) for the Heart Rate and Exercise LabQuest activity. General Outcome #2 focuses on how students will explain the role of the circulatory systems and defense systems in maintaining an internal equilibrium. This further goes into measuring the students level of understanding the concepts of heart rate and the factors that affect it (Alberta Education, p. 41). Heart rate can then branch out into concepts of maximum heart rate, resting heart rate and recovery time. Through the LabQuest experiment, the main affecting factor was exercise and how that relates back to the fitness level of an individual [20-D2.3s]. Other key concepts found in the lab’s analysis questions then dealt with disorders of the heart [20–D2. 2sts]. Students are additionally "conducting investigations into relationships between and among observable variables" through the use of tools to gather information in regards to their heart rates [20–D2.2s]. Through group work activities, they are achieving collaborative work in measuring heart rate and other factors relating to the circulatory system [20-D2.4s]. To analyze and interpret, the POS explicitly states that students have the option in determining, from available data, the relationship between blood pressure and exercise [20–D2.3s a]. For the simulation, predominantly at the high school level, the

It takes more than one body system to deliver oxygen to the body. The circulatory system and the respiratory system work together. The circulatory system containing the hearth along with a network of arteries and veins delivers blood cells with oxygen from the lungs through the body cells take in oxygen while they dispose of carbon dioxide, which flows back the heart's right-sided chambers ;then on to the lungs to exchange carbon dioxide with oxygen with the lungs the hearth wouldn't be able to get rid of the carbon dioxide and get more oxygen .Inhaled air passes through your nasal passages, throat and lung airways reaching your alveoli where the gas exchange happens The newly oxygen-rich blood travels back from the lungs to the heart's left-sided chambers, where it gets pumped out at great pressure and to the

We have many important systems that help our body function. Two of the important systems are the cardiovascular system and the circulatory/blood system. Both the cardiovascular and circulatory/blood system have to deal with the heart. Without these two systems, we wouldn’t be alive. These systems can develop problems as we get older, so we have to make sure we take care of ourselves.

Explain the relationship between the structure and function of the following parts of the circulatory system?

The venous system of the lower extremities is composed of several veins that are superficial and deep. The sophisticated blood flow of the lower extremity consists of muscular venous pumps and bicuspid valves (Meissner, 2005). There are two major disorders of the lower venous system, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and deep venous thromboses (DVT). It is often assumed that disorders of the venous system are not relevant, but these disorders can, in fact, be more complex to treat than arterial diseases. The purpose of this paper is to examine the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT, diagnosis of the disorder, treatment of the disorder, comparison of both disease and risk factors that affect the incidence of

The red blood cell is located in the circulatory system. The circulatory system circulates blood and lymph through the body. The circulatory system is and organ system. It uses blood to circulate and transport nutrients including oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from parts in the body. The circulatory system helps fight diseases, stabilizes temperature, and maintains homeostasis. The circulatory system is like a highway because it carries blood from place to place and a real highway carries people to places. It is not just one system but three put together including Heart, Lungs, and Arteries.

According to Harris and Sherblom (2011), “A system is, by definition, a collection of interrelated parts or elements that function together to make a whole that is of a magnitude and order totally different from that of any of the individual parts. It is a set of elements bound together in interdependent relationships. The integrity of the whole depends on the mutual interaction among its parts.” If this is true, a system cannot be singular in nature. By that I must stress the term “team”. The text uses the example of the human body as a system. What better a system to reference, to display the importance of “team work” in order for a system to function, in unison, properly? If each organ system is functioning properly, the body is able to maintain its homeostasis; but if one system is failing or not functioning properly, the body moves from its state of homeostasis into a compensatory state to try and
