What is the main function of the circulatory system in multicellular organisms? A. to bring oxygen into the lung B. to put carbon dioxide into all blood vessels C. to expel waste products from the body D. to transport materials throughout the body

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@Azionne @brooklynsshaw @Kicker71

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@Decarr432 please help me will medal and fan

OpenStudy (decarr432):

to start what is an multicellular organisms

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

Multicellular organisms are organisms with more than one cell. This is the case for animals, plants and most fungi. In such organisms, cells are usually specialised. All the cells with the same function work together

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@Decarr432

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@K12awesomeness

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Now what does the circulatory system do?

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body. It consists of the heart and the blood vessels running through the entire body. The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart.

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

Well, the answer here is D because it covers the other options namely A and C while B is not really true. Multi cellular organisms are made up of billions of cells each specialized to a unique role and these cells are organized into structural and functional units such as tissues and organs. For each cell and organ to function optimally, it requires oxygen and nutrients and needs carbon dioxide and metabolic waste taken away in a continuous, never ending process. A mechanism is needed to accomplish the important function of transporting the relevant materials to and from the cell. The circulatory system fits this bill splendidly. It is a specialized organ system which allows blood and lymph to flow through the entire body carrying nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes as well as oxygen to each cell, at the same time carting away carbon dioxide and all sorts of metabolic waste over to excretory organs to be expelled from the body.

OpenStudy (decarr432):

So knowing what the circulatory system does what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

@K12awesomeness please do not give direct answers help guide the student on their own, and please do not jump in when someone is helping

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

I didn't.. She tagged me and I came to help her. Not just 'one' person can help. People can help at the same time.

OpenStudy (azionne):

Decarr just stop trying to be something ur not

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Yes but giving a Direct answer isn't helping

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

I gave her an explanation didn't i ?

OpenStudy (azionne):

If u were a mod it would say so, but ur not so just continue to be an open study user, and let the mods handle it if they want to tf

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Giving an explanation doesn't matter, It is against CoC to give a direct answer

OpenStudy (azionne):

Dont worry @K12awesomeness i got this

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

Okay, thanks.. and ur welcome @BarbieJayyyyy

OpenStudy (azionne):

@Decarr432 stop being petty about this stuff on this site if we wanted u to be a mod im pretty sure it would say it by ur name but it dont so i advise u to stay in a recruits spot

OpenStudy (azionne):

Oh iight i aint think so HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!!!! :)

OpenStudy (decarr432):

No I don't want to be a mod, I am just doing what OS was supposed to be used for. have you ever read the CoC?

OpenStudy (azionne):

I really dont care about the

OpenStudy (decarr432):

You agreed to the CoC

OpenStudy (azionne):

COC it is not ur place to tell someone not to do something that is my point

OpenStudy (azionne):

even though im doing it now, but only cuz im tired of all these wanna be mods the stuff is getting annoying

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

STOP NOW!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (azionne):

Yes ma'am

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

Yea

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

so is the the answer d

OpenStudy (azionne):

Umm @K12awesomeness gave u the answer lol

OpenStudy (azionne):

but yes it is d

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

ik

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@Azionne

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

Which three components are common to the circulatory systems of most living animals? A. arteries, veins, capillaries B. vessels, heart, circulating fluid C. aorta, ventricles, atria D. blood, heart, cavities

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@K12awesomeness @K12IsAwesome

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@Jadeishere

OpenStudy (azionne):

i think its d

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

Nope, not D.

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

What do you think @BarbieJayyyyy

OpenStudy (azionne):

shoot they are all good answers though

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Okay, so another name for the circulatory system is the Cardiovascular system. Did you already know this or were you not sure? As you know, the cardiovascular system is an organ system, with it's main organ as the heart.

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

Blood is the circulating fluid. It is the connective tissue of liquid plasma and cells. Heart is a muscular pump to move the blood and have it circulate throughout the body of living animals. Blood vessels are arteries, capillaries and veins that deliver blood to all tissues. The Circulatory System has two types. They are the open circulatory system and the close circulatory system. An open circulatory system is one where the blood does not circulate inside blood vessels but also flows into cavities that irrigate tissues. A close circulatory system is one where the blood circulate only inside the blood vessels.

OpenStudy (k12awesomeness):

So, it would be B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang im super late XD

OpenStudy (azionne):

lol ^

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

No, it's A. Lol, the arteries, veins and the capillaries all connect to the heart to help blood flow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i agree with @Jadeishere ^-^'

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

They're the three most important organs of the circulatory system aside from the heart

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Thanks person who thinks K12 is awesome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:3

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

OTAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank uuuuuuu

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Lol well, bye now!

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@Jadeishere wat grade u in

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

@K12IsAwesome

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):

Wat grade u in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7th

OpenStudy (barbiejayyyyy):
