Cardiovascular system

The Cardiovascular System is one of the most important systems in the body of an organism. It is responsible for carrying the oxygen and nutrients needed for survive through the body. The only organ in this system is the heart, containing four chambers; the left and right atrium and the left and right ventricle, which will be described in further detail later on. Although this system is very important, problems can occur that disrupt the normal routine. One of these we will be focusing on today…

The cardiovascular system is the system in which it helps to circulate blood throughout your entire body. However, that's not its only function. It also helps to transport both oxygen and carbon dioxide, hormones, numerous cells, and also nutrients to the body's tissues and organs. This system consists of the heart, blood, and also blood vessels. The heart is a muscular structure that helps push the blood to flow throughout the body. It is composed of three layers the pericardium (around or…

comprised of a huge amount of systems that work together. Two of these greatly important systems are the muscular and cardiovascular systems. These body systems are very heavily intertwined and cannot function without one another. If one fails, the other stops working soon after, and the loss of either of these systems would be utterly catastrophic to the smooth workings of the human body. The cardiovascular system could be described as being the life support system of the entire human body.…

more we exercise changes would occur in our cardiovascular system. When performing exercise, your muscles would need sufficient amount of oxygen and nutrients so that you can perform well. Also, the carbon dioxide produced should be released from the body. It is the main role of the heart to pump harder and faster when exercising so that oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released as a by-product. There are many acute changes that occur in this system before, during and after exercise.…

The cardiovascular system is the bodies system that is in charge of regulating blood throughout the body. The main job of the cardiovascular systems are transportation of blood which allows the body to receive oxygen, nutrients, and hormones while disposing of wastes. The second job of the cardiovascular system is protection via the white blood cells. White blood cells clean up cellular debris and fight pathogens that have entered the body. The cardio vascular system will also offer protection…

The cardiovascular system is a network composed of the heart and blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all body tissues. However, there are similarities and differences between men and women, with respect to the structure and function of the cardiovascular system. According to a research, the size of the heart and major blood vessels are smaller in women than in men. Before puberty, there are no differences among sexes in relation to the size of the heart, but after puberty the…

the diaphragm, between the right and left lungs” (Balaban 197). About two-thirds of the heart are located on the left side of the chest, while only about one-third of the heart is located on the right side of the ribcage. The cardiovascular system provides a transport system between the heart and lungs. The heart’s most important function is to indulge indispensable nutrients to the tissues and to eliminate waste products (Balaban 185). The human heart is responsible for circulating blood…

Interrelation between the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system The cardiovascular system and the respiratory system can interrelate to perform a function such as exercise. In order for the body to move our muscles require oxygen. While the body’s muscles are working there is a constant delivery of oxygen to the muscles. The oxygen is taken to the muscles during exercise as a result of the circulatory and respiratory systems working together. The heart, blood and the lungs are the…

What is the Cardiovascular System? The Cardiovascular System is also known as the Circulatory System and the Vascular System which is an Organ System.2nd The Cardiovascular System consist of the heart, blood vessels and the blood. All three of these elements make up the Cardiovascular System. These elements permit the blood to circulate and transport nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment. Also, the different parts of…

The cardiovascular system, or blood-vascular system is comprised of the heart and blood vessels. The heart is the strongest pumping muscle in the body. Important mechanics of the heart allows the heart to properly do its job The heart is responsible for intrinsic cardiac conduction, the cardiac cycle, and cardiac output. The blood vessels in the cardiovascular system are just as important. The blood vessels aid in blood flowing to body tissue, maintaining blood pressure, and controlling blood…
