Study Notes
Circulatory Systems
- Basic elements shared by circulatory systems include a heart, blood vessels, and a specialized fluid.
- In larger animals, circulatory systems facilitate the exchange of gases and nutrients through the transportation of oxygen and nutrients to cells and removal of carbon dioxide and waste.
Lymphatic System
- The primary function of the lymphatic system is to help balance fluids and defend against infection.
- The lymphatic system is also an accessory system that helps to remove waste and excess materials from the body.
Modes of Molecule Movement
- In very small or thin animals, the primary mode of molecule movement is through diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Circulatory System Functions
- The circulatory system primarily moves oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, and waste from one tissue to another.
- Blood is the specialized medium that carries cells, oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, and waste in the circulatory system.
