SPM Biology 10 Transport (Part 6)

SPM Biology 10 Transport: Circulatory System

There are 2 types of circulatory system in human and other animals:
  1. Closed circulatory system
  2. Open circulatory system
1. Closed circulatory system
  • The blood is contained in blood vessels and flows continuously in blood vessels.
  • Valves can be found to maintain the flow of blood in one direction only.
  • This system is found in larger animals such as vertebrates.
2. Open circulatory system
  • The blood is not contained in blood vessels and is pumped from the heart into the cavity or space around the body cells.
  • This system is only found in smaller animals such as insects and shellfish.

Circulatory system in human
1. The circulatory system in human is called double closed and complete circulatory system.
2. This is because the blood flows in blood vessels and it passes through the heart twice in one complete circulation

3. There are 2 main circulations:
  1. Pulmonary circulation (heart → lungs → heart)
  2. Systemic circulation (heart → all body tissues → heart)
Pulmonary circulation
  • Deoxygenated blood is pumped out from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery which transports the blood to left and right lungs.
  • At the lungs, gaseous exchange occurs. The deoxygenated blood in the pulmonary artery receives oxygen and becomes oxygenated blood and is transported from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart by pulmonary vein.

  • The main function of pulmonary circulation: to change deoxygenated blood to oxygenated blood.
Systemic circulation
  • Oxygenated blood from the lungs which enters the left atrium of the heart is pumped into the left ventricle and is then pumped out of the heart through the aorta.
  • The aorta branches to form arteries which transport oxygenated blood to all the body tissues.
  • Exchange of gases and nutrients occurs in the body cells of an organ.
  • The blood that is transported out of the organ by the vein is deoxygenated blood.
  • The blood from the veins in all body tissues is transported into the vena cava and then enters into the right atrium of the heart.

  5. Bed and breakfasts (or B&Bs) allow for a comfortable stay, for a period of time lasting from one to two nights.As breakfast is a complimentary part of the experience, there is usually a full range of foods to choose from – ranging from eggs, meats, and whatever foods may ultimately be found within the confines of the house itself.

  7. Touring beautiful places has always been most of the people's favourite activities. Seeing majestic views you do not usually see in your hometown, eat delicacies from different places, or maybe to just simply relieve one's stress from work or school. Whatever reasons we have for travelling, may it be for leisure or a part of your job, disturbances may occur unexpectedly. 야맵
