A microfluidic circulatory system integrated with capillary-assisted pressure sensors.
Lab on a Chip, 2017The human circulatory system comprises a complex network of blood vessels interconnecting biologically relevant organs and a heart driving blood recirculation throughout this system.

Adhesion Molecules: Master Controllers of the Circulatory System.
Comprehensive Physiology, 2016This manuscript will review our current understanding of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) relevant to the circulatory system, their physiological role in control of vascular homeostasis, innate and adaptive immune responses, and their importance in ...

The circulatory system of insects, like that of all arthropods, is of the “open” type; that is, the fluid which circulates is not restricted to a network of conducting vessels as, for example, in vertebrates, but flows freely among the body organs. An open system results from the development, in evolution, of a hemocoel rather than a true coelom.

Mass Transport: Circulatory System with Emphasis on Nonendothermic Species.
Comprehensive Physiology, 2016Mass transport can be generally defined as movement of material matter. The circulatory system then is a biological example given its role in the movement in transporting gases, nutrients, wastes, and chemical signals.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the unique features of the fish cardiovascular system. The fish heart has a single atrium and ventricle and the latter is seldom required to develop pressures in excess of 40 mmHg (one-third that of mammals), moreover, it is rarely perfused with oxygenated blood and the myocardium is accordingly different. Fish

The Arthropod Circulatory System
2013Arthropods have a genuine circulatory system. Their exoskeleton encloses a liquid-filled body cavity, the haemocoel. Thereby all organs and tissues are permanently exposed to a fluid medium, the haemolymph which consists of plasma with suspended haemocytes. The circulation of haemolymph is actively forced by special pumping organs referred to as hearts.

In order to function, the cells of a multicellular animal must take up nutrients, discard metabolic wastes, and receive chemical messages from hormones. These substances can only pass through the cell membrane if they are dissolved in water, and for this reason, every living cell must be surrounded by an extracellular aqueous medium, the interstitial ...

ICD-11 and SNOMED CT Common Ontology: Circulatory System
Medical Informatics Europe, 2014The improvement of semantic interoperability between data in electronic health records and aggregated data for health statistics requires efforts to carefully align the two domain terminologies ICD and SNOMED CT.
