2. Circulatory system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

   In vertebrates, the circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the body. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It includes the cardiovascular system , or vascular system , that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart , and Latin vascula meaning vessels ).

3. Hemolymph - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolymph

   An open circulatory system is made up of a heart, vessels, and hemolymph. This diagram shows how the hemolymph is circulated throughout the body of a grasshopper. The hemolymph is first pumped through the heart, into the aorta, dispersed into the head and throughout the hemocoel, then back through the ostia that are located in the heart, where ...

6. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

   The circulatory system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms of autoregulation, just as hydraulic circuits are controlled by control systems. The hemodynamic response continuously monitors and adjusts to conditions in the body and its environment. Hemodynamics explains the physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels.

7. Lymphatic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphatic_system

   Unlike the circulatory system that is a closed system, the lymphatic system is open. [4] [5] The human circulatory system processes an average of 20 litres of blood per day through capillary filtration, which removes plasma from the blood.

   This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completion.. There are many conditions of or affecting the human circulatory system — the biological system that includes the pumping and channeling of blood to and from the body and lungs with heart, blood and blood vessels.

9. Pulmonary circulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_circulation

   The other division of the circulatory system is the systemic circulation that begins with receiving the oxygenated blood from the pulmonary circulation into the left atrium. From the atrium the oxygenated blood enters the left ventricle where it is pumped out to the rest of the body, returning as deoxygenated blood back to the pulmonary ...
