Question

Each circuit in the cardiovascular system is composed of routes with named vessels that supply blood to and drain blood from every part of the body. What are the 2 circuits of the cardiovascular system? Which circuit composes the peripheral circulatory system? What type of blood vessels supply blood? What type of blood vessels drain blood? Some parts of the body are more critical than others. These parts have developed collateral circulation via anastomosis. What is collateral circulation? What is an anastomosis? Which parts of the body are more critical than others? Every part of the body generates waste: CO_2, metabolic, ions, etc. For this reason, the body has 2 filters. What 2 filters process waste? Which filter regulates pH and other ion concentrations, and excretes metabolic waste? The guts (stomach, intestines, pancreas, gallbladder & spleen) generate questionable blood. For this reason, one organ filters all of the blood leaving the guts via a portal system. Why would the blood exiting the guts be considered questionable? What is a portal system? Which portal system drains the guts? Which organ filters all of the blood leaving the guts? Head: There is one pathway to supply and drain everything outside of the skull, and there are two pathways to get to the cerebral arterial circle (Circle of Willis), supplying the brain, and one main pathway

Explanation / Answer

1.

a. The blood is pumped by the heart to the body through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. In humans, the right side of the heart pumps blood through the pulmonary circuit so that it can be oxygenated in the lungs. The left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the entire body via the systemic circuit.

b. Systemic circuit composes the peripheral circulatory system.

c. Arteries supply blood to the body organs.’

d. Veins drain the blood.
