The System  for Transporting Gases The Circulatory System. The heart, the blood, and the blood vessels make up a system for the transport of gases, nutrients, and chemical wastes. The primary functions of the circulatory system are the following: 1  To transport nutrients and oxygen to the cells. 2  To remove waste and carbon dioxide from the cells.rteries-these carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart, except in the case of the artery to the lungs. 2. Capillaries-these are the sites of gas exchange between the tissues. 3. Veins-these return oxygen poor blood to the heart, except for the vein that carries blood from the lungs.

- To review, humans need a large surface area for gas exchange and need to easily transfer gases between the blood and the air. Specialized structures in the lungs called alveoli dramatically increase the surface area of the lung and the dense capillary network around the alveoli creates a very short route between the bloodstream and the air.

- Blood Vessels: Arteries: These are large blood vessels that take oxygenated blood away from the heart to be distributed throughout the body. The aorta is the body's largest artery. Veins: These blood vessels take deoxygenated blood from around the body back to the heart and lungs to be oxygenated.Capillaries: These tiny blood vessels are where the exchange of oxygen and nutrients take place. The nutrients and oxygen are exchanged for wastes that are taken from the cells.lood Vessels: Arteries: These are large blood vessels that take oxygenated blood away from the heart to be distributed throughout the body.

Gas Exchange Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the lungs and out of the body. Air enters the body through the mouth and nose, from here it moves to the pharynx (throat), passes through the larynx (voice box) and enters the trachea. The trachea splits into two branches, the left and right bronchus, each bronchus divides many times into smaller branches called bronchioles. Each bronchiole finally leads to a bunch of tiny air sacs, called alveoli, which inflate during inhalation, and deflate during exhalation.

- However, for larger animals, the exchange of gases and nutrients is accomplished through specialized systems for circulation and gas exchange. Humans and other vertebrates have a closed circulatory system where blood is confined to the heart and blood vessels. Gas exchange with the environment occurs through the lungs. Today we will observe a small crustacean that uses a different strategy. We will also examine aspects of the human circulatory and respiratory system.

- Blood is transported through the whole body by a continuum of blood vessels. Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart, and veins transport the blood back to the heart. Capillaries carry blood to tissue cells and are the exchange sites of nutrients, gases, wastes, etc. vein is a blood vessel that has a larger lumen, and sometimes veins serve as blood reservoirs or capacitance vessels, containing valves that prevent backflow. This system of vessels in general returns blood to the heart from the periphery (see the image below). Veins: blood flow and valve structure.

Chapter 42 - Circulation and Gas Exchange Also, there are very important smaller blood vessels called arterioles and capillaries. The circulatory system carries oxygen to all the parts of the body. The circulatory system carries blood and nutrients to make a body strong. The circulatory system's veins carry blood toward the heart. The circulatory system's arteries carry blood away from the heart.

Ultrastructure of Blood Vessels This blood is carried by several different types of blood vessels, each of which are specialised to play their role in circulating blood around the body. There are three major types of vessels; arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries (with the exception of the pulmonary artery) deliver oxygenated blood to the tissues. At the tissues, the oxygen and nutrient exchange is carried out by the capillaries. The capillaries also return deoxygenated blood to the veins, which bring it back to the heart (with the exception of the pulmonary veins).

Human Physiology/Print Version After oxygen has been moved to the tissue, capillaries join and widen to become small veins and then widen more to become veins, which return blood to the heart. The capillary bed is the network of capillaries supplying an organ. The more metabolically active the cells, the more capillaries it will require to supply nutrients and carry away waste products. Special arteries connect between arterioles and venules and are important in bypassing the flow of blood through the capillaries.

- 3. Capillaries are the site of substance exchange between the blood and cells of body tissues. 4. Venules connect capillaries to larger veins. 5. Veins convey blood from the tissues back toward the heart. 6. Vasa vasorum are small blood vessels that supply blood to the cells of the walls of the arteries and veins.

- Gas exchange takes place in the capillaries for animals with a closed circulatory system such as birds, mammals, reptiles, and some amphibians. Remember that the capillaries are the smallest blood vessel, and they can be found near every cell in the body. With trillions of cells, that is a lot of capillaries. The respiratory apparatus in insects consists of a system of tubes, called tracheae, which directly ventilate the tissues. When an animal actively moves air to the site of gas exchange, it is called ventilation. The tubes act similarly to a closed circulatory system of blood vessels which divide and branch out into smaller and smaller tubes extending into all parts of the insect like plumbing pipes.

How Lungs Work 1 CAPILLARIES are blood vessels in the walls of the alveoli. 2  Blood passes through the capillaries, entering through your PULMONARY ARTERY and leaving via your PULMONARY VEIN. 3  While in the capillaries, blood gives off carbon dioxide through the capillary wall into the alveoli and takes up oxygen from air in the alveoli.t each cell in your body, oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is removed from the blood stream and then exhaled. Your lungs and respiratory system automatically perform this vital process, called gas exchange.

Blood vessels Blood vessels. organs of the cardiovascular system that form a closed circuit of tubes that carries blood from the heart to the body cells and back again. They are arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins.hey have a single layer of epithelial cells. Walls are semipermeable, and substances in blood are exchanged for substances in the tissue fluid surrounding the cells. Provide the vital function of exchanging gases, nutrients and metabolic by-products between blood and tissue fluid.

- The function of veins, arteries and capillaries are reflected in their structure. The walls of the capillaries are relatively thin and made of flat endothelial cells to facilitate exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste between the blood and the fluid surrounding the cells.Arteries, by contrast, have thick, strong walls to withstand the high speed and pressure of blood pumped from the heart.owever, for larger animals, the exchange of gases and nutrients is accomplished through specialized systems for circulation and gas exchange. Humans and other vertebrates have a closed circulatory system where blood is confined to the heart and blood vessels.

Structure and Function of Blood Vessels Capillaries. A capillary is a microscopic channel that supplies blood to the tissues themselves, a process called perfusion. Exchange of gases and other substances occurs in the capillaries between the blood and the surrounding cells and their tissue fluid (interstitial fluid).lood pumped by the heart flows through a series of vessels known as arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins before returning to the heart. Arteries transport blood away from the heart and branch into smaller vessels, forming arterioles.

Where does gas exchange take place? The direct process of gas exchange occurs in alveoli  located within the lungs. Blood is sent f…rom the heart through  pulmonary arteries, exchanging the carbon dioxide within  erythrocytes (red blood cells) for oxygen provided by the air lungs  store when inhaling.

Blood Blood is the most important transport medium in the human body. It transports gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen etc.) as well as nutrients (metabolism) and end products of cell metabolism. Hence the blood has the task of assuring the exchange of substances.

Gas Exchange across Respiratory Surfaces Gas exchange in humans-between a capillary and an alveolus. Both oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported around the body in the blood through arteries, veins and capillaries. They bind to hemoglobin in red blood cells, although oxygen does so more effectively.

- For gas exchange to occur in the lungs and the rest of the body's tissues, blood must flow continuously through the tissues. The heart pushes blood through the tissues and provides a constant force for blood flow to occur. The heart provides enough force to propel the blood through the arteries and veins in the body.
