Chapter 14, Problem 1CC
A cardiovascular system has what three major components?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine: The components of the cardiovascular system.
Introduction: The circulatory system and cardiovascular systems form the two very important types of organ systems in the body. The system is responsible for pumping the blood carrying nutrients and oxygen and helping to remove waste products from the body.
Explanation of Solution
The cardiovascular system is made of different components. The three primary components of this system are as follows:
- Heart: It is the primary organ of the system. It is a muscular organ that pumps the oxygenated and the deoxygenated blood. It has a size of a clenched fist and is located slightly towards the left side in the thoracic region.
- Arteries: The arteries are the deep-seated blood vessels that function to carry the oxygenated blood from the heart to different regions of the body. The exception to this function is the pulmonary artery that carries deoxygenated blood.
- Veins: The veins are narrow superficially located blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from different tissues to the heart for oxygenation. The only exception to this functionality is the pulmonary vein that carries oxygenated blood.
Conclusion
The component of cardiovascular system are heart, arteries and veins.
