Ciculatory Pathway

Cards (8)

    • delivers hormones
    • peptide (atrial natriuretic hormone) secred by the heart atrial cells to help regulate blood volumes & pressures
    • epinephrine, ANH, angiotensin II, ADH, and throxyine help regulate blood pressure
    • estrogen to promote vascular health in both women & men
    • What role of circulatory system goes to ?
    Digestive System
    • carries clotting factors, platelets, & white blood cells for homeostasis, fight infections, and repair damage
    • regulates temperature by controlling blood flow to surface, where heat can be dissipated
    • provides some coloration of integument (skin)
    • acts as a blood reservoir?
    Integumentary system
    • transports various white blood cells include those produced by lymphatic tissue & immunoglobins (antibodies) throughout the body to maintain health
    • carries excess tissue fluid not able to be reabsorbed by the vascular capillaries back to lymphatic system for processing
    • What role of circulatory system goes to?
    Lymphatic System
    • provides nutrients & oxygen for contraction
    • removes lactic acid & distributes heat generated by contraction
    • muscular pumps assist in venous return
    • exercise contributes to cardiovascular health & help prevent atherosclerosis
    • What role of circulatory system goes to?
    Muscular System
    • produces cerebrospinal fluid inside choroid plexus
    • contributes to blood-brain barrier
    • cardiac & vasomotor centers regulate cardiac output and blood flow through vessels via autonomic system
    • What role of circulatory system goes to?
    Nervous System
    • assist in erection of genitalia in both sexes during sexual arousal
    • transports gonadotropic hormones that regulate reproductive functions
    • What role of circulatory system goes to?
    Reproductive system
    • Provides calcium, phosphate, and other minerals critical for bone matrix
    • transports hormones regulating buildup and absorption of matrix including growth hormone (somatotropin), thyroid hormone, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone
    • erythropoietin stimulates myeloid cell hematopoiesis; some level of protection for select vessels by bony structures
    • What role of circulatory system belong to?
    Skeletal System
    • Delivers 20% of resting circulation to kidneys for filtering, reabsorption of useful products, and secretion of excesses
    • regulates blood volume and pressure by regulating fluid loss in the form of urine and by releasing the enzyme renin that is essential in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism
    • What role of circulatory system belong to?
    Urinary system
