circulatory system
Let an agent explain circulatory systems, relay anatomy, physiology and comparative forms from physiology and medical sources, route cardiovascular emergencies to emergency services, describe the named forms including horse, bird and fetal circulation, and distinguish the circulatory system from the lymphatic system alone, the respiratory system and cardiovascular disease.

What it is Filled
The organ system that moves blood and lymph through the body, consisting in humans and other vertebrates of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries in a closed system, with separate pulmonary and systemic circuits in mammals and birds, a single circuit in fish, and fetal circulation that bypasses the lungs through the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus; many invertebrates such as insects have an open circulatory system in which haemolymph bathes organs, and William Harvey described blood circulation in 1628. Chest pain, stroke signs or severe bleeding need emergency services.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain circulatory systems, relay anatomy, physiology and comparative forms from physiology and medical sources, route cardiovascular emergencies to emergency services, describe the named forms including horse, bird and fetal circulation, and distinguish the circulatory system from the lymphatic system alone, the respiratory system and cardiovascular disease.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Closed or open systems
- Double or single circuits

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not

- Confuse open and closed circulatory systems.
Only with a human decision
- Any clinical decision.
May
- Explain the circulatory system in general terms.
- Urge emergency care for signs of heart attack or stroke.
