The mammalian cardiovascular system Flashcards
Animals, particularly mammals are far more…
active than plants.
Animals rely on finding…
the food, which is energy consuming.
The greater the activity of organisms, the greater…
the demand for oxygen for respiration, so transport systems for oxygen have evolved in animals.
The cardiovascular system is made of…
heart and blood vessels.
Since the blood always stays in…
the blood vessels, the system is known as a closed blood system.
Systematic circulation is that blood is…
pumped from the heart’s left ventricle to the whole body and returns to the right atrium.
Pulmonary circulation is that blood is…
pumped from the right ventricle into the lungs and returns to the left atrium.
The double circulatory system is…
the combination of pulmonary and systematic circulation.
