Explanation / Answer
1. the systemic cituit provides the blood supply for the tissue cells of the body. so d:oxygen and nutrients to tissues in the body 2. the only true statement is b. Fluid in a closed circulatory system is under pressure. that's why we call it blood pressure. 3. The function of the circulatory system is (by common sense: not digestion, movement or protection) d. transporting nutrients 4. a heart attack occurs when blood clot blocks one of the coronary arteries, so d. 5. Each heartbeat is controlled by electrical impulses traveling through the heart. In the normal heart these electrical impulses occur in regular intervals. so a. (i mean come on, you couldn't have thought it was coffee) 6. The function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs around the body.. d 7. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart; veins do the opposite, so c. 8. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs. Oxygen-rich blood from your lungs passes through the pulmonary veins. It enters the left atrium and is pumped into the left ventricle. so b 9. all of the above 10. An open circulatory system lacks vessels, so a Good luck
