In nature there are two different types of circulatory systems that can be seen amongst different taxonomic groups. These two types are open and closed circulatory systems, and help animals to be able to survive within the environment. Each taxonomic group has a specific circulatory system so that it is best adapted for its environment.
A open circulatory systems is a system where the blood of the organism and interstitial fluid mix in the organisms body (https://moodle.wnc.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=94728). An example of and open circulatory system could be a locust, which is an example of an arthropod, and molluscs. In these organisms the blood and interstitial fluid are allowed to flow freely within the organisms body and where nutrients

An example of a closed circulatory system could be earthworms and fish. In these organisms there are oxygen carrying pigments which is called haemoglobin and haemocyanin which is found within the vessels and around the body cavity. The heart creates a high blood pressure which is the system that moves the blood around the body through the veins and arteries. In a closed circulatory system you can have a simple or complex circulatory systems which include single circulation or a double circulation with in the body. The examples could be gill systems, tracheal systems, and lungs. Closed circulatory systems include a real heart as the bodies of these organisms are big each to carry a real heart and that they are big enough to include the complex circulatory systems ((https://moodle.wnc.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=94728). Some advantages of closed circulatory systems are that there is an increased efficiency, where there is an even distribution of oxygen in the organisms body and that an organism with a closed circulatory system has a much faster metabolism, which produces nutrients for the cells at a higher rate. The blood is under a higher pressure and diffuses at a higher rate than an open circulatory system does. There is also more control of the blood flow within the organism which allows for a greater mobility rate and allows for a much greater resistance to environmental changes (Open Circulatory and Closed Circulatory Systems Explained,
The respiratory system is the system for taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide in organisms. The respiratory systems of California sea lions, king cobras, and bald eagles have a few similarities and differences, but they all allow the intake of oxygen for each organism.
...Another difference between the three is that the arteries mainly carry oxygenated blood. This is different to the veins because they mostly carry de-oxygenated blood, furthermore out of the three, the capillaries have the smallest blood vessels out of the three.
The cardiovascular system - The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting nutrients and removing gaseous waste from the body. It consists of the heart, which powers the whole process, the veins, arteries, and capillaries, which deliver oxygen to tissue at the cellular level. The cardiovascular system carries blood that is low in oxygen away from the heart to the lungs via arteries, where oxygen levels are restored through the air once oxygenated, this blood is then carried throughout the body via arteries, keeping our organs and tissue alive. The cardiovascular system is the workhorse of the body, continuously moving to push blood to the cells. If this important system ceases its work, the body dies.
The heart, blood and blood vessels make up the cardiovascular system. The function of the cardiovascular system is to evenly distribute blood cells, water and nutrients. The cardiovascular system helps send blood to the body’s tissues. The heart is a muscle and the most important part of the cardiovascular system. Heart attacks, heart failure, and abnormal heart beat is a serious issue for the cardiovascular system these can sometimes lead to death. These diseases affect the heart and its functions (Heart and Cardiovascular disease 2005).
The lymphatic system is very similar, and works with and directly at the side of the cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system has a network of vessels like the circulatory system which pump a plasma-like fluid called lymph around it’s own lymph vessels, and are found in most other tissues of the body, except the central nervous system.
and support, allows us to manipulate our surroundings and - due to its high metabolic activity - produces heat.” (study.com-Dec 2014)
... Then the s The vascular system consists of blood vessels in the body. The vessels become smaller as they extend farther from the heart. The aorta delivers its flow to large arteries into smaller vessels. Arterioles supply tiny capillaries which nourish tissues.
The heart serves as a powerful function in the human body through two main jobs. It pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body and “blood vessels called coronary arteries that carry oxygenated blood straight into the heart muscle” (Katzenstein and Pinã, 2). There are four chambers and valves inside the heart that “help regulate the flow of blood as it travels through the heart’s chambers and out to the lungs and body” (Katzenstein Pinã, 2). Within the heart there is the upper chamber known as the atrium (atria) and the lower chamber known as the ventricles. “The atrium receive blood from the lu...
The Respiratory System 1. Define respiration. Respiration is the process of converting glucose to energy, which goes to every cell in the body. 2. Describe the organs of external respiration.
The biggest similarity between the digestive and circulatory systems is that they both both transport something from place to place. Also they have to include blood somewhere in their processes they do, because any organ system needs the blood, for vital nutrients to help. Digestion is always happening and so is circulating blood throughout your body. Both the two systems need the blood and nutrients
The circulatory system and respiratory system share a highly important relationship that is crucial to maintaining the life of an organism. In order for bodily processes to be performed, energy to be created, and homeostasis to be maintained, the exchange of oxygen from the external environment to the intracellular environment is performed by the relationship of these two systems. Starting at the heart, deoxygenated/carbon-dioxide (CO2)-rich blood is moved in through the superior and inferior vena cava into the right atrium, then into the right ventricle when the heart is relaxed. As the heart contracts, the deoxygenated blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to capillaries in the lungs. As the organism breathes and intakes oxygenated air, oxygen is exchanged with CO2 in the blood at the capillaries. As the organism breathes out, it expels the CO2 into the external environment. For the blood in the capillaries, it is then moved into pulmonary veins and make
The Circulatory System is a transportation and cooling system for the body. The Red Blood Cells act like billions of little mail men carrying all kinds of things that are needed by the cells, also RBC's carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells. All cells in the body require oxygen to remain alive. Also there is another kind of cells called white blood cells moving in the system. Why blood cells protect from bacteria and other things that are harmful. The Circulatory system contains vein arteries, veins are used to carry blood to the heart and arteries to carry the blood away. The blood inside veins is where most of the oxygen and nutrients are and is called deoxygenated and the color of the blood is dark red. However, blood in the arteries are also full of oxygen but is a bright red. The main components of the circulatory system are the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
The hearts role is to pump oxygenated blood to every cell in the body by having a continuous beat. Throughout time the heart has created mystery, however current technology has solved most of the mystery, there still remains an enchantment and eagerness to learn more.
The human body is very complex. It is like a job. You have to do a million things in one day to make it through the day. The body uses nine systems to do all of those jobs. They all have separate functions, but some work together. Each system is also made up of organs. There are many ways to care and protect the systems from the many different problems they can have. There are also many interesting facts about each system.
The roles of the circulatory and respiratory system both carry important responsibilities and are essential in their jobs to the human body. The circulatory system is one, if not the, most important system in the human body. The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Within the blood vessels, there are three types: arteries, veins, and capillaries. The heart is an organ made up of cardiac muscle that has a role similar to a pump. When the muscles in the heart contract, it pumps fresh blood away from the heart, through a main artery called the aorta, and to the organs and cells of the body. Nutrients and oxygen then enter the cells through diffusion of the tissues. The respiratory system transports oxygen to the circulatory system. When transporting oxygen to the circulatory system, this will in turn transport oxygen to the rest of the cells in the body. Aside from transporting oxygen to the body, the respiratory system also plays a role in the removal of carbon dioxide and other contaminants in the body. These two systems effectively and efficiently work together in order to supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide and any other
