Veins
High pressure, High resistance system that delivers red/oxygenated blood to the body and bring back blue/deoxygenated blood.
Systemic Circulatory System
resistance the heart must pump against.
Afterload
Low pressure, low resistance system that exchanges blue/deoxygenated blood for red/oxygenated blood with high O2.
Pulmonary Circulatory System
Nervous system that accelerates the HR, as occurs with the fight or flight response.
Sympathetic Nervous System
The vessels that bridge the arterioles and venules together.
Capillaries
