functions of the cardiovascular system Flashcards
what are the vital functions of the cardiovascular system
transporting nutrients, hormones, and wastes
how many well- integrate circulatory systems are there
2
what type of system is the double-loop system
closed circulatory system
what type of walled arteries does the closed circulatory system consist of
thick walled arteries
what do the thick walled arteries do in the closed circulatory system
transport blood away from heart
what do the thin walled veins do in the closed circulatory system
transport blood to heart and capillaries
what are the capillaries made of
single layer of endothelium
what do the capillaries do
connects arteries to veins in tissues
what does the open lymphatic system circulate and filters
interstitial fluid between cells and eventually drains into the the circulatory system
what does the closed double loop system transport
blood and hormones
what are the 2 parts of the closed double loop system
pulmonary and systemic
what type of blood does the pulmonary loop carry
carries deoxygenated blood
where does the pulmonary loop carry deoxygenated blood from and to
from right ventricle of the heart to the lungs
what happens after deoxygenated blood goes from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs
it is oxygenated and returns the oxygenated blood to the left atrium
what type of blood does the systemic loop carry and where does it go to and from
oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body
