Mammalian circulatory system : Mammals animals and therefore have small surface area to volume ratios
are large .
This means mammals cannot rely on direct exchange with the environment across their surface to supply the need
for metabolites by the internal tissues .
Circulatory system is
necessary
to transport materials :
substances : Water Waste : Carbon dioxide
oxygen
Glucose Nutrients Urea .
Double circulation : blood travels through the heart twice for each complete circuit of the body .
There are two circuits: Pulmonary supplies the lungs
systemic supplies the other intestines and kidneys
