102 circulatory Flashcards
(20 cards)
dorsal, thin-walled triangular chamber
- base attached to the transverse septum
- collects venous blood
- all veins lead to this chamber
Sinus vinosus
- single-chambered, thin-walled sac
- anterior to the sinus venosus and dorsal
to the ventricle - largest part of the dorsal pericardial cavity
Atrium
- thick-walled, muscular, posterior chamber
- inverted pyramid in shape, with broad base caudad
- main pumping area- paired coronary arteries on ventral surface
Ventricle
thick-walled, muscular, anterior-most part
- cone-shaped
- composed of valves to prevent backflow of the blood
Bulbus arteriosus
where blood enters
- base attached to transverse septum
- thin-walled triangular sac
Sinus venosus
Thin-walled
-single chambered
- pumps blood to ventricle
Atrium
thick muscular walled cavity
- apex: near sinus venosus
base: broad anterior end
- pumps blood through conus
arteriosus to gills and body
- coronary artery on ventral
Ventricle
- muscular portion
- extends anteriorly from base of ventricle
- contains a series of semilunar valves that
direct the blood flow
Bulbus arteriousus
- carry blood from the heart towards the tissues
- thick walls containing elastic and collagen fibers
Arteries
- with smooth muscles
- less than 1/3 mm in diameter
- gives rise to smaller arteries
- with well developed smooth wall muscles
Arterioles
- minute tube (5-20 m internal diameter)
- can dilate and constrict
Capillary
- small veins that collect blood from capillaries
- receives blood from arteriole and gives up to a
small vein - differ from capillaries by having more connective
Venules
carry blood from capillaries/venules to the heart
* with smooth lining of flat cells and muscular and
fibrous tissues outside
Veins
For inflammation, and its nucleus is lobulated and the rare for teleost
Basophils
Elongated, nucleus is off center, for defense from parasites
Eosinophils
Varied shape, first defense of infection
Neutrophils
Large round kidney shaped nucleus, Phagocytosis
Monocytes
Oval to round, large round nucleus
Lymphocytes
spindle or teardroop shaped, For blood clotting, equivalent to pplatelets
Thrombocytes
