Three types include:yp s ud◦ Hypovolemic shock – results from large-scale blood loss V l h k i l ti lti f ◦ Vascular shock – poor circulation resulting from extreme vasodilation◦ Cardiogenic shock – the heart cannot sustain gadequate circulation

The vascular system has two distinct as u a sys as o d scirculations◦ Pulmonary circulation – short loop that runs f h h h l d b k hfrom the heart to the lungs and back to the heart◦ Systemic circulation – routes blood through a Systemic circulation routes blood through a long loop to all parts of the body and returns to the heart

The endothelial lining of blood vessels arises from mesodermal cells, which collect in blood islandscollect in blood islands◦ Blood islands form rudimentary vascular tubes through which the heart pumps blood by the fourth week of development
