Questions and Answers

What is the main component of the circulatory system?

  • Plasma, red blood cells, and white blood cells
  • Heart, blood vessels, and blood (correct)
  • Lungs, heart, and blood vessels
  • Arteries, veins, and capillaries

    • What is the defining characteristic of the circulatory system in vertebrates?

  • It is closed, meaning the blood never leaves the network of blood vessels (correct)
  • It is open, allowing blood to flow freely in the body cavity
  • It lacks a network of blood vessels
  • It contains both red and white blood cells

    • What is the difference between systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation?

  • Systemic circulation serves the body, while pulmonary circulation serves the lungs (correct)
  • Systemic circulation is controlled by the heart, while pulmonary circulation is controlled by the brain
  • Systemic circulation carries deoxygenated blood, while pulmonary circulation carries oxygenated blood
  • Systemic circulation involves oxygenation, while pulmonary circulation involves deoxygenation

    Study Notes

    Main Component of the Circulatory System

    • The heart is the central organ driving the circulatory system, responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.

    Defining Characteristic of the Circulatory System in Vertebrates

    • The circulatory system in vertebrates features a closed system, where blood is confined within vessels and circulates in a loop, allowing efficient transport of nutrients and oxygen.

    Difference Between Systemic Circulation and Pulmonary Circulation

    • Systemic circulation involves the flow of oxygenated blood from the heart to the body and back to the heart, delivering nutrients and removing waste.
    • Pulmonary circulation refers to the movement of deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and then back to the heart.

    Meaning of the Term 'Cardiovascular System'

    • The cardiovascular system encompasses the heart and blood vessels, facilitating the distribution of blood, nutrients, hormones, and gases throughout the body.

    Components of Blood

    • Blood consists of red blood cells (erythrocytes) for oxygen transport, white blood cells (leukocytes) for immune defense, platelets for blood clotting, and plasma, which is the liquid component carrying cells and nutrients.
