(45 cards)
invertebrates w open circulatory systems do not have true blood/_____
hemolymph
transport oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes
erythrocytes (RBCs)
-protein for Oxygen & CO2 transport
- contains iron (red)
- each molecule can bind __ oxygen molecules
hemoglobin; 4
____ shape of blood cells exclusive to mammals
biconcave
mammal RBCs lack ____ and most organelles
nuclei
other vertebrates have this
nucleated ellipsoidal RBCs
why biconcave shape?
more surface for gas diffusion
scavengers and defensive cells
leukocytes (WBCs)
2 types of leukocytes
granulocytes
arganulocytes
- cell fragments in mammals, nucleated cells in other vertebrates
- function in blood coagulation
platelets
prevention of rapid body fluid loss after an injury
hemostasis
hemostasis in vertebrates
smooth muscle around the vessel contracts
chemical reaction between coagulation factors to form a clot
blood coagulation
“disease of kings”
- genetic disorder characterized by failure of blood to clot
- sex linked (allele in X)
hemophilia
fish utilize a _____ _____ circulation
single curcuitq
tetrapods utilize ____ circulation
double
in double circulation: oxygenated blood is sent to rest of body and back
systemic circuit
in double circulation: deoxygenated blood is sent to lungs and back
pulmonary circuit
prevent backflow of blood
valve
left atrioventricular valve
bicuspid
right atrioventricular valve
tricuspid
valve in aorta and pulmonary trunk
semilunar valve
heart contraction
systole
