Question
Chapter 30, Problem 15WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How the cardiovascular system is similar to and different from vascular tissue in plants.
Concept introduction:
The cardiovascular system is composed of heart, blood and blood vessels. It is responsible for the circulation of blood throughout the body. It is also responsible for the transportation of nutrients and oxygen to different parts of the body and removal of carbon dioxide and

J K L M Cells Muscle Blood cell Tracheid Bone Tissue Nervous Muscular Vascular Connective Organ Eye Brain Stem Heart In humans, the circulatory system contains a number of different transport vessels including arteries, veins and capillaries. There are two different types of capillaries involved in transporting materials. Which one of the following statements correctly identifies the type of capillary with its function? J. Blood capillaries are responsible for absorbing digested fat molecules in the villi of the small intestine. K. Lymph capillaries transport important molecules including oxygen to the brain. L. Blood capillaries are involved in the exchange of gases in the alveoli of the lungs. M.

- Many objects designed by engineers have “circulatory systems” of one type or another. Describe at least three or four examples. Why do engineers sometimes include systems of flowing fluids in objects they design? We often hear it said that animal systems can teach us how to design engineered systems. If you were a biologist teaching a group of engineers about the lessons of animal circulatory systems, what principles would you emphasize?arrow_forwardMost humans are less than 2 meters tall. However, imagine if a human was 9 meters (almost 30 feet) tall. This would create some challenges that would require modifications to their cardiovascular system. Using your knowledge of normal human cardiovascular function, describe two ways that you could modify the cardiovascular system of a 9-meter human to accommodate their immense height (hint: think about things like gravity and blood pressure).arrow_forwardWhich best describes blood flow through the heart?

- Which of the following is the best description of what happens in capillaries? A. Capillaries are surrounded by thicker smooth muscle moving blood cells to exchange nutrients and oxygen. B. Capillaries connect minor veins to major veins returning blood to the heart. C. Capillaries are the location where oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients are exchanged with tissues at the cellular level. D. Capillaries are the site where blood mixes with interstitial fluid to allow for gas and nutrient exchange.arrow_forwardBlood: What are the sources of red blood cells and white blood cells.

The circulating fluid flows in one direction (unidirectionally) through a circulatory loop. The circulating fluid is called hemolymph. Ostia are pores in the heart, important for circulatory function. The circulating fluid is called blood. The circulating fluid remains in vessels as it moves throughout the organism. Is the more efficient type of circulatory system.arrow_forward
