Summary Introduction

To determine: The differences between the flows of fluid in closed circulatory system from the movement of molecules between cells and their environment with regard to distance traveled, direction traveled, and driving force.

Introduction: A circulatory system has three basic components including a circulatory fluid, a set of interconnecting vessels, and a muscular pumping system called as the heart. By transporting circulatory fluid (usually blood) throughout the body, the circulatory system links the aqueous environment of the body cells to the organs involved in gaseous exchange, nutrient absorption, and disposal of wastes.

Explanation of Solution

The differences between the flows of fluid in closed circulatory system from the movement of molecules between cells and their environment with regard to distance traveled, direction traveled, and driving force are given as follows:

CharacteristicsFlow of fluid in closed circulatory systemThe movement of molecules between cells and their environment
Distance traveledMillimeters to metersLess or equal to 1 millimeter
Direction traveledSingle directionRandom direction
Driving forceATP-driven muscular pumpDiffusion
