Cardiovascular System- Domestic Animal Science Physiology AssignmentAssociated Structures
Cardiovascular system contains heart and blood vessels
Connects to every system as they all need blood to supply vital nutrients and oxygen
Nervous System- Brain tells heart to beat
Digestive System- Breaks food into nutrients that the blood carries through the body
Respiratory System- Provides oxygen to blood and removes carbon dioxide from blood
Muscular System- Cardiac muscle; expanding and contracting pumps blood
Skeletal System- Bone marrow produces red and white blood cells
Endocrine System- Hormones produced by endocrine system are transported via blood

Use terms: Venuoles and arterials
Blood Vessels; Arteries, Veins, Capillaries
Arteries:
Largest blood vessel type
Deeper than veins
Can be used to measure blood pressure and pulse
Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to other parts of the body
i.e Radial Artery: carries blood from heart down front leg
Two types of arteries:
o Elastic Arteries: have a large number of elastic fibers in the middle layers of their
walls, have the greatest ability to stretch when blood passes through them
found closest to the heart
Aorta is the largest elastic artery, has largest layer of elastic fibers to
withstand the entire surge of blood ejected from left ventricle
Other elastic fibers branch off aorta
o Muscular Arteries: have more smooth muscle fibers than elastic fibers
Found farther away from the heart
Direct blood to specific organs and tissue
Muscular arteries branch into arterioles
Arterioles are the smallest branches of arterial tree
