The document explains how animals transport materials within their bodies through the circulatory system, which uses blood to distribute oxygen and nutrients while removing waste. It highlights the necessity of transport systems in larger animals, detailing the roles of the heart, blood, and blood vessels in this process. The heart pumps blood, blood carries essential substances, and blood vessels facilitate the movement and exchange of materials throughout the body.

1. How do animals transport materials inside their bodies?


The circulatory system's purpose is to move materials across the body.
Substances are transferred from one part of the body to another in the majority of
animals' bodies through blood, which also distributes food and oxygen to the
body's cells. The circulatory system works on the pumping mechanism just like
the respiratory system. Except, instead of moving air into and out of the lungs, it
moves blood into and out of the lungs circulatory system moving oxygenated
blood out of the lungs to the places in your body that needs it and then brings the
deoxygenated blood back to the lungs.

2. What structures are necessary in animal transport?


The transport system is required by any animal that is too large for nutrients to
reach all cells by diffusion alone, because getting all your oxygen by way of
diffusion takes frequent for reference of what we have. Instead of this, using
simple diffusion, a couple reasons for starter the bigger the animal the more
oxygen it needs and a lot of mammals are pretty big so we have to actively force
air into our lungs in order to get enough oxygen to run our bodies, so mammals
and birds are warm blooded. They regulate their body temperatures and that
takes many calories and burning those calories. Transport systems is made up of
the heart, blood vessels (I.e., arteries, capillaries and veins) and blood.

3. State the function of the following components of animal transport: heart, blood and
blood vessels.
In most mammals, the heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood into the
circulatory system's blood vessels. The pumped blood transports oxygen and
nutrients to the body while also transporting metabolic waste such as carbon
dioxide to the lungs.
Blood is important for monitoring the body's systems and maintaining
homeostasis. Other functions include transmitting hormones and other signals
across the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues, eliminating waste,
and maintaining body pH and core body temperature.
A blood vessel is a hollow tube for transporting something, like a garden hose
transporting water. A blood vessel is a hollow tube for transporting blood. There
are three main types of blood vessels: Arteries, Capillaries, Veins. These main
blood vessels function to transport blood through the entire body and exchange
oxygen and nutrients for carbon dioxide and wastes.
