How does the flow of a fluid in a closed circulatory system differ from the movement of molecules between cells and their environment with regard to distance traveled, direction traveled, and driving force?

To determine: The differences between the flows of fluid in closed circulatory system from the movement of molecules between cells and their environment with regard to distance traveled, direction traveled, and driving force.
Introduction: A circulatory system has three basic components including a circulatory fluid, a set of interconnecting vessels, and a muscular pumping system called as the heart. By transporting circulatory fluid (usually blood) throughout the body, the circulatory system links the aqueous environment of the body cells to the organs involved in gaseous exchange, nutrient absorption, and disposal of wastes.
Explanation of Solution
The differences between the flows of fluid in closed circulatory system from the movement of molecules between cells and their environment with regard to distance traveled, direction traveled, and driving force are given as follows:
Characteristics | Flow of fluid in closed circulatory system | The movement of molecules between cells and their environment |
Distance traveled | Millimeters to meters | Less or equal to 1 millimeter |
Direction traveled | Single direction | Random direction |
Driving force | ATP-driven muscular pump | Diffusion |
