biology midterm 4

A circulatory system in which fluid called hemolymph bathes the tissues and organs directly and there is no distinction between the circulating fluid and the interstitial fluid.

• circulatory system

• open circulatory system

• closed circulatory system

• hemolymph

In invertebrates with an open circulatory system, the body fluid that bathes tissue.

• hemolymph

• cardiovascular system

• heart

• right ventricle

A circulatory system in which blood is confined to vessels and is kept separate from interstitial fluid.

• innate immunity

• tracheal system

• closed circulatory system

• open circulatory system

A closed circulatory system with a heart and branching network of arteries, capillaries, and veins. This system is a characteristic of vertebrates.

• arteries

• double circulation

• single circulation

• cardiovascular system

A circulatory system consisting of a single pump and circuit, in which blood passes from the sites of gas exchange to the rest of the body before returning to the heart.

• countercurrent exchange

• double circulation

• single circulation

• ventricle

A circulatory system consisting of separate pulmonary and systemic circuits, in which blood passes through the heart after completing each circuit.

• double circulation

• single circulation

• cardiovascular system

• lungs

A vessel that carries blood away from the heart to organs throughout the body.

• vein

• arteries

• arterioles

• venules

A vessel that conveys blood between an artery and a capillary bed.

• arterioles

• arteries

• lungs

• venules

A microscopic blood vessel that penetrates the tissues and consists of a single layer of endothelial cells that allows exchange between the blood and interstitial fluid.

• veins

• capillary beds

• capillaries

• cardiovascular system

A network of capillaries in a tissue or organ.

• heart

• ventricle

• capillaries

• capillary beds
