Questions and Answers

What are the main components of the blood circulatory system?

The main components of the blood circulatory system are the heart, blood vessels, and blood.

What is the difference between the cardiovascular system and the vascular system?

The cardiovascular system includes the heart and blood vessels, while the vascular system specifically consists of the blood vessels.

What are the great vessels of the heart and what do they include?

The great vessels of the heart include large elastic arteries, large veins, other arteries, smaller arterioles, capillaries, and other veins.

What are the two divisions of the circulatory system?

The circulatory system has two divisions: systemic circulation or circuit, and pulmonary circulation or circuit. Signup and view all the answers

What is the difference between closed and open circulatory systems?

The circulatory system in vertebrates is closed, meaning the blood never leaves the network of blood vessels, while some invertebrates like arthropods have an open circulatory system. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

The Blood Circulatory System

A system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, circulating throughout the entire body of a human or other vertebrate.

Divisions of the Circulatory System

Systemic circulation or circuit: one division of the circulatory system.
Pulmonary circulation or circuit: another division of the circulatory system.

Cardiovascular and Vascular Systems

Cardiovascular system, or vascular system, consists of the heart and blood vessels.
The terms "cardiovascular system" and "vascular system" are sometimes used interchangeably with the circulatory system.

Network of Blood Vessels

Includes great vessels of the heart, such as large elastic arteries and large veins.
Arteries, smaller arterioles, capillaries, venules (small veins), and other veins make up the network.

Closed Circulatory System

Found in vertebrates, where the blood never leaves the network of blood vessels.
In contrast, some invertebrates, such as arthropods, have an open circulatory system.
