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.
