Question

List the major vascular beds in the systemic system that are not controlled by vascular mechanism?

Expert Solution
Step 1


The vascular system also named the circulatory system, is composed of the vessels that transmit blood and lymph through the body. The arteries and veins transmit blood throughout the body, providing oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues and taking out tissue debris substances.

Step 2

Five grades of blood vessels: arteries and arterioles, veins and venules, and capillaries the tiniest blood vessels, linking arterioles and venules through webs within organs and tissues.
Systemic circulation is the portion of the vascular system that holds blood from the left ventricle to organs and tissues of the body. The big veins pit into the superior and inferior vena cavae that repay blood to the right atrium.
