Exploring the Complexity of the Circulatory System

The circulatory system is consisted of a group of organs that transfer blood throughout the body and is responsible for the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and other gases to and from all cells. It is also known as the body’s transport system. The system contains three essential components that make up the circulatory system: the heart, blood vessels, and blood. These elements are vital to the body for survival. It includes the pulmonary and systemic circulatory loop. Also, it contains these three independent systems that work together; the heart (cardiovascular), the lungs (pulmonary), arteries, veins, coronary and portal vessels (systemic).

There are two primary circulatory loops called the pulmonary and the systemic circulatory loop. The pulmonary

The blood that is being carried away is very enriched with oxygen after it leaves the lungs and proceeds to the body’s tissues. The further the arteries get away from the heart they become smaller and more narrow and are eventually called arterioles. Arterioles and arteries just about have the same structure and function. Arterioles have strong, thick muscular walls and a rather small passageway for the blood to travel in and out. Also, they are the most highly regulated blood vessels in the blood and contain blood under high blood

Every one of these parts has a specific job so that system can work properly. The main function of the circulatory system is a basic loop the starts and finishes in the heart. Specifically, the system starts in the right atrium, the upper right chamber of the heart. As the blood is flowing through here, it continues through the other three chambers of the heart. After this, it goes straight to the lungs to eliminate any carbon dioxide and to collect oxygen and then end in the lower left hand chamber called the left
