Mammals and birds have ——- chambered heart with two —- and two ———
Four chambered heart with two atria and two ventricles
What does the left side of the heart do, what type of blood does it deal with
Left side of the heart pumps and receives only oxygen rich blood
What does the right side of the heart do, and what type of blood does it deal with
The right side receives and pumps only oxygen poor blood
Do endotherms or ectotherms require more O2
Endotherms
Endotherms vs Exotherm and examples
Endotherms- regulates thier own body temps- humans
Ectotherms- body temp changes with the environment- fish
Where does oxygen poor blood go first when it gets to the heart and how does it get to the lungs
It gets to the atrium, then to the right ventricle and pumps that blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries
When the blood gets to the lungs, what does it drop off and pick up
The blood picks up oxygen and drops off CO2
Where does the oxygen rich blood from the lungs go to at the heart, and how does it get there
It goes to the left atrium via the pulmonary viens
After the oxygen rich blood gets through the left atrium where does it go
It goes through the aorta to the body tissues by the left ventricle
How does the Aorta provide blood to the heart- what artery
Through the coronary arteries
How does blood return to the heart
Through the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava
Where do the superior and inferior vena cava flow into
The right atrium- OXY POOR BLOOD
Why do the two atria have thinner walls
They serve as collection chambers for blood coming back to the heart
Why do the ventricles have thicker walls
To contract forcefully
The heart contracting and relaxing in a rhythmic cycle
Cardiac cycle
What is the contracting or pumping phase of the heart called
Systole
What is the relaxation or filling phase of the heart called
Diastole
Pulse, or number of beats per minute
Heart rate
The amount of blood pumped in a single contraction is
Stroke volume
The volume of blood pumped into the systemic circulation per min and depends on both the HR and Stroke volume is
Cardiac output
What valve separates each atrium and ventricle
Atrioventricular Valves
What controls blood flow to the aorta and the pulmonary artery from the ventricles, what valve
Semilunar valves
What does backflow of blood through a defective valve cause
A heart murmur
Some cardiac muscle cells are autorythmic, what does that mean
They contract without any signal from the nervous system
