Have you completed the Pre-Test????
Overlap of Circulatory and Nervous
Systems in Brain



Connected through organ & bodily function control
All body functions are regulated by brain through
nervous system
 W/o messages from brain, circulatory system does
not work
 Heart function & fluid circulation triggered by
nervous system
 Messages sent from the brain control both blood
and lymphatic parts of circulatory system
Blood provides energy for brain


Brain = 2% of mass, uses 20% of energy
Avg weight of adult brain is about 3 pounds
Examples of Overlap in brain

Blood pressure and heart rate regulation




Vagus nerve controls pumping of heart
As heart pumps, blood moves through blood
passageways around body to organs
Baroreceptors pass information about blood pressure to
brain so brain makes adjustments to heart rate
Dependent on each other to ensure
homeostasis


Nervous system may have control, but circulatory
system must relay information for adjustments
Both systems need to function properly & work together
to ensure proper body functions
