The tick is considered the vector in the chain of infection.

Generally, vector organisms are organisms that are capable of transmitting disease pathogens from infected organisms to uninfected ones either directly or indirectly as a result of their activities.

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of vertebrate animals such as deers and humans. When they feed on the blood of animals with certain infections, the pathogens for such infections are sometimes carried in the guts of the parasites and these are transferred to the bloodstream of the next animal that would be their host.

A good example of this is Lyme disease.

During exercise, energy demand in the muscle increases. Which other body system directly provides for this demand
beks73 [17]
The body system that directly provides for this demand is the circulatory system. When you exercise, the circulatory and muscle system cooperate, in order to meet the increased needs for strength and energy. The circulatory system involves the network which delivers blood to every part of your body. This flowing of blood ensures that the tissues are oxygenated and rich in necessary nutrients. During exercise, more blood flows to and from your muscles, in order to deliver the necessary amounts of oxygen to complete the aerobic respiration.
