Changes in the Vascular System at Birth."At birth, when respiration is established, an increased amount of blood from the pulmonary artery passes through the lungs, and the placental circulation is cut off.
vascular system Specialized tissues for transporting þuids and nutrients in plants; also plays a role in supporting the plant; one of the four main tissue systems in plants.
vascular system. The system of plant tissues that conducts water, mineral nutrients, and products of photosynthesis through the plant, consisting of the xylem and phloem.
vascular system
1. in animals the blood circulatory system and the water vascular system in echinoderms that manipulate the tube feet. 2. in plants the tissue that serves to conduct water throughout plants.
AND A VASCULAR SYSTEM
The other big idea that is not so easy to see is that starfish have something called a water based vascular system. You have blood that transports nutrients all over your body.
water vascular system
A network of hydraulic canals unique to echinoderms that branches into extensions called tube feet, which function in locomotion, feeding, and gas exchange.

vascular system The total of the tissues that function in the conduction of water and food by means of xylem and phloem in the plant body.

water vascular system. Seawater is taken into a system of canals and is used to extend the many tube feet. These have suckers on their tips and aid the animal in attaching itself to solid surfaces.
These make up the vascular system. Ferns generally grow in damp, shady locations. Their roots and stems are underground (the rhizome). The leaves, called fronds, grow up from the rhizome each spring.
The most serious conditions associated with Marfan syndrome primarily involve the cardiovascular system. Marfan syndrome may cause leakage of the mitral or aortic valves that control the flow of blood through the heart.

tube feet -- Extensions of the water-vascular system of echinoderms, protruding from the body and often ending in suckers. May be used for locomotion and/or for maintaining a tight grip on prey or on the bottom.
An invertebrate marine animal usually characterised by a five-fold symmetry, and possessing an internal skeleton of calcite plates, and a complex water vascular system. Includes echinoids (sea urchins), crinoids (sea lillies) and asteroids (starfish).
infection may persist and spread by extension to become an acute, subacute or chronic clinical infection or disease state. A local infection may also become systemic when the microorganisms gain access to the lymphatic or vascular system.
But as we define it, we define an incredibly important set of components that are going to give us deep insight into how the immune system works, the nervous systems works, and how the cardiovascular system works.
phenotypic changes in the fetal vasculature, resulting in alterations in the L-arginine/NO signalling pathway and regulation of [Ca2+]i. These alterations may have significant implications for long-term programming of the fetal cardiovascular system.
