 Circulatory system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The human cardiovascular system comprises the blood, the heart, and a dual-circuit system of blood vessels that serve as conduits between the heart, the lungs, and the peripheral tissues of the body.
The circulatory system or cardiovascular system is the organ system which circulates blood around the body of most animals.
This is the starting point for the systemic circulation, which consists of the intricate network of arteries, arterioles, capillary beds, venules, and veins that service the peripheral tissues of the body (which include the brain and other organs, the skeletal muscles, etc.

 Cardiovascular System Information
Cardiovascular Health is a new section, which will teach you how your heart and cardiovascular system work when healthy, and what happens when diseased.
The pressure and flow of the blood arise from the beating heart muscle, which is the pump of the cardiovascular system.
We will also explore disease prevention, therapeutic drug treatment, minimally invasive surgical procedures and open surgical procedures for treating diseases, which affect the heart and cardiovascular system.

 The Marvels of the Circulatory System - Jehovah's Witnesses Official Web Site
The powerhouse behind the cardiovascular system is, of course, the heart.
The cardiovascular system is so efficient that even when a person is at rest, it returns about 5 quarts of blood to the heart every minute!
In the event of trauma or alarm, for instance, pressure sensors in arterial linings signal the brain, which, in turn, signals the appropriate arteries to restrict blood flow to less important areas such as the skin and shunt it to the vital organs.

 Amazon.co.uk: Books: The Cardiovascular System at a Glance (At a Glance S.)
The text progresses from basic science to clinical application: a general introduction to the cardiovascular system is followed by anatomy and histology; blood and body fluids; biochemistry and excitation-contraction coupling; form and function; integration and regulation; and pathology and therapeutics.
The Cardiovascular System at a Glance is a concise and accessible systems-based textbook.
The second edition of The Cardiovascular System at a Glance is an ideal resource for medical students, whilst students of other health professions and specialist cardiology nurses will also find it invaluable.

 Cardiovascular System
The term cardiovascular system is a shorthand way to describe the totality of components and processes that combine and interact to jointly serve our blood circulation needs.
In reality however, this shorthand description fails to emphasize many important structure-function details and relationships by which normal cardiovascular health is maintained.
Within the cardiovascular system, the normal actions of the cells and genes depend on the specific structures in which they are located and on the specific functions of these structures.

 Effects of Exercise on the Cardiovascular System
The circulatory system exploits this property rather nicely, by constricting blood flow the organs that need less oxygen during exercise and widening the arterioles to the organs which need more.
For instance, the brain may use up to 30% of total blood flow while you're doing your homework, but when you're at the gym less than 10% of total blood flow goes through it.
This will result in an increase in blood flow.
