Their main asset is an abundance of unsaturated fatty acids, so necessary for maintaining the good health of the circulatory system.

They suspect it plays a role in the production of adrenal hormones, and they believe it is essential to the transport of fats throughout the circulatory system.

This accompanied or facilitated other important evolutionary developments: the bilaterian body plan ; the coelom, an internal cavity that provided space for a circulatory system and, in some animals, formed a hydrostatic skeleton which enables worm-like animals to burrow ; metamerism, in which the body was built of repeated " modules " which could later specialize, for example the heads of most arthropods are composed of fused, specialized segments.

The human body mostly consists of a head, neck, torso, two arms and two legs, as well as numerous internal organ groups such as respiratory, circulatory and a central nervous system.

Insects and some mollusks use a fluid called hemolymph instead of blood, the difference being that hemolymph is not contained in a closed circulatory system.

In addition, if all human hemoglobin were free in the plasma rather than being contained in RBCs, the circulatory fluid would be too viscous for the cardiovascular system to function effectively.

) in his or her blood stream, which were introduced by the shared circulatory system of the placenta ; neonatal milk, the milk from a lactating infant, is also known as witch's milk.

Cephalochordates have a notochord and a nerve cord ( but no brain or specialist sensory organs ) and a very simple circulatory system.

Containing numerous organosulfur compounds such as allyl sulfides and alkyl sulfoxides, chives are reported to have a beneficial effect on the circulatory system.

Galen's theory of the physiology of the circulatory system endured until 1628, when William Harvey published his treatise entitled De motu cordis, in which he established that blood circulates, with the heart acting as a pump.

Among Galen ’ s major contributions to medicine was his work on the circulatory system.

Although his many anatomical experiments on animal models led him to a more complete understanding of the circulatory system, nervous system, respiratory system and other structures, his work was not without scientific inaccuracies.

Galen believed that the circulatory system consisted of two separate one-way systems of distribution, rather than a single unified system of circulation.

The circulatory system of the giraffe has several adaptations for its great height.

For the circulatory system and bone marrow in which cells can occur in a liquid suspension and not bound up in solid tissue, it makes sense for them to communicate by soluble, circulating protein molecules.

Later William Harvey provided a refined and complete description of the circulatory system.

It is apparent that in a circulatory system the oil will only be as clean as the filter can make it, thus it is unfortunate that there are no industry standards by which consumers can readily assess the filtering ability of various automotive filters.

It begins with a bite from an infected female mosquito, which introduces the protists via its saliva into the circulatory system, and ultimately to the liver where they mature and reproduce.

The wing membranes also contained a thin layer of muscle, fibrous tissue, and a unique, complex circulatory system of looping blood vessels.

Silver and compounds containing it ( such as colloidal silver ) can be absorbed into the circulatory system and become deposited in various body tissues, leading to argyria, which results in a blue-grayish pigmentation of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.

An alternative, and less painful way of applying this choke, is to bend the choking arm in a " V " shape and put pressure with the biceps and the forearm on the two sides of the neck, respectively ; this is a circulatory choke, which puts pressure on the arteries taking blood to the brain and thus deprives the brain of oxygen.

Ingested blood is pumped into the esophagus, where it dislodges bacteria lodged in the proventriculus and is regurgitated back into the host circulatory system.

Antibiotic treatment alone is insufficient for some patients, who may also require circulatory, ventilator, or renal support.

The circulatory system is extremely important for sustaining life.

The arterial system is the higher-pressure portion of the circulatory system.

The heart is a myogenic muscular organ found in all animals with a circulatory system ( including all vertebrates ), which pumps blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions.

In invertebrates that possess a circulatory system, the heart is typically a tube or small sac and pumps fluid that contains water and nutrients such as proteins, fats, and sugars.

In amphibians and most reptiles, a double circulatory system is used but the heart is not completely separated into two pumps.

* The blood volume of the lungs is about 450 milliliters, about 9 percent of the total blood volume of the entire circulatory system, Under various physiological and pathological conditions, the quantity of blood in the lungs can vary from as little as one-half normal up to twice normal. loss of blood from the systemic circulation by hemorrhage can be partly compensated for by the automatic shift of blood from the lungs into the systemic vessels

This type of lung construction is called a circulatory lung, as distinct from the bellows lung possessed by other animals.

As is typical for such small animals, there are no respiratory or circulatory organs.

There is no circulatory system and no endocrine system.

There is usually a well-developed, if simple, circulatory system.

The main body cavity is an open circulatory system, where blood is pumped into the haemocoel by a heart located near the dorsum.

The group has the open circulatory system typical of the arthropods, in which a tube-like heart pumps blood through the hemocoel, which is the major body cavity.

Yet another possible and probable role of protein tyrosine kinase is that in the event of circulatory failure and organ dysfunction caused by endotoxin in rats, where the effects of inhibitors tyrphostin and genistein are involved with protein tyrosine kinase.

Some evidence of early evolutionary history is the structure of the antennal heart, a separate circulatory organ consisting of two ampullae, or vesicles, that are attached to the frontal cuticle to the bases of the antennae.

When this happens, organ and circulatory walls allow plasma / water to pass freely throughout the thoracic cavity, so its pressure stays constant and the organs aren't crushed.

After being admitted to hospital on 24 August 2004 for bacteria-induced respiratory and circulatory problems, Gouveia died from multiple organ failure.

" The term derives from the prefix re -, in this case meaning " restoration " and vasculature, which refers to the circulatory structures of an organ.

For the human organ system, see circulatory system.
