Q

Three layers of the artery

A

Endothelium, smooth muscle and connective tissue.

35
Q

What must arterial walls be able to do?

A

Contract and expand.

36
Q

How do veins move blood?

A

By nearby muscular contractions.

37
Q

Valves in veins

A

To stop backflow.

38
Q

What circulatory system features are shared in teleosts, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals?

A

A heart that connects to the systemic circulation via one or more aortic arches.

39
Q

Examples of animals with 2 chambered heart

A

Zebrafish and lamprey.

40
Q

Examples of animals with 3 chambered heart

A

Frog and pufferfish.

41
Q

Examples of animals with 4 chambered heart

A

Chicken, mouse and humans.

42
Q

Hagfish

A

Primitive, jawless eel-like vertebrate with a partially open circulatory system and several muscularised vessels that act as hearts.

43
Q

Hagfish heart

A

Caudal with 2 chambers separated by a cartilaginous rod, muscles contract to bend rod and change volume of each chamber, one side expands to fill with blood and the other contracts to expel.

44
Q

Fish circulatory system

A

Simple closed system, with heart pumping deoxygenated blood through gills, where it is reoxygenated and goes through tissues.

45
Q

Fish heart

A

One atrium and one ventricle, all venous blood goes through the sinus venosus and returns to atrium which are then passed into ventricle from there pumped into gills.

46
Q

What are gills made of?

A

Gill arches (for rigid support) and gill filaments (paired) along with secondary lamellae.

47
Q

Oxygen content of water

A

5ml O2/L.

48
Q

Oxygen content of air

A

210ml O2/L.

49
Q

How has gill adapted to increase oxygen absorbed?

A

It has counter-current gas exchange so water flow is opposite to blood flow.

50
Q

Why is the counter-current used?

A

Same current blood and water would reach an equilibrium with oxygen so no further diffusion, opposite direction allows water to always have more oxygen than blood.

51
Q

Why do fish suffocate out of water?

A

Gill arches collapse so they have no surface area for diffusion.

52
Q

Speed of counter-current gas exchange

A

Slow but stable.

53
Q

How does heart pump blood to gills?

A

Through aortic arches.

54
Q

What do aortic arches join?

A

Dorsal and ventral aorta.

55
Q

What carries blood downstream?

A

Single dorsal aorta.

56
Q

Lungfish

A

Live in low oxygen water, use gills and lungs, normally uses gills but if oxygen low it gulps air into lungs.

57
Q

Lungfish blood path

A

Heart to gills to head and body, then some goes to the lungs, so some reoxygenated blood returns to heart unlike other fish.

58
Q

Lungfish heart

A

2 atria to separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, with only one ventricle with folds and flaps to channel flow.

59
Q

Where does oxygenated blood go to in lungfish?

A

To the left atrium and then goes to front end of gills and head.

60
Q

Where does deoxygenated blood go in lungfish?

A

To the right atrium and then goes to back end of gills where it is oxygenated and then goes to rest of body.

61
Q

Water breathing lungfish circulation

A

Single circulation with deoxygenated blood going through arches 2, 5 and 6.

62
Q

Air breathing lungfish circulation

A

Double circulation with deoxygenated blood through arch 6 to the lung while oxygenated blood goes through arches 3 and 4 along with external carotid artery.

63
Q

Land vertebrate circulation

A

2 circulatory circuits- pulmonary and systemic along with increased metabolic rate.

64
Q

Pulmonary circuit of land vertebrates

A

Conveys blood between heart and gas-exchange tissues.

65
Q

Systemic circuit of land vertebrates

A

Carries blood between heart and rest of body.

66
Q

Amphibian heart

A

Two atria, left is deoxygenated, right is oxygenated which then mix in ventricle, pumping mixed blood to lungs for oxygenation and to the body.

67
Q

Turtle heart

A

Similar to amphibian but is septated and has folds and grooves in ventricles to keep blood from mixing.

68
Q

Bird and mammal heart

A

2 atria and 2 ventricles, right side is deoxygenated, left side is oxygenated, mammals have one systemic arch.

69
Q

How do adult amphibians respire?

A

Lungs and skin.

70
Q

What happens to frog respiration in summer?

A

More dependent on lungs as higher temperature increases metabolic rate which means more oxygen needed- cannot speed up diffusion.

71
Q

Frog circulation

A

Lungs in adult, gills in larvae, can absorb oxygen through skin, pulmonary artery supplies lungs with a branch supplying skin.

72
Q

Where does oxygenated blood go in frogs?

A

To left atrium.

73
Q

Where does skin oxygenated blood go in frogs?

A

Mixes with deoxygenated blood from body.

74
Q

Adult amphibian aortic arches

A

Deoxygenated blood goes through arch 6 while oxygenated blood goes through arches 2 (carotid body) and 4.

75
Q

Frog heart

A

2 atria and 1 ventricle, less developed separation of pulmonary and systemic circulation but blood still relatively unmixed as they are ejected from heart.

76
Q

Crocodile blood path

A

Right ventricle to lungs to left atrium to left ventricle to systemic circulation to right atrium to right ventricle.

77
Q

Crocodile blood supply

A

Right systemic arch from left ventricle and left systemic arch from right ventricle.

78
Q

Crocodile left systemic arch

A

Supplied with oxygenated blood from left ventricle via the foramen of Panizza, high pressure in systemic circulation keeps valve between left systemic arch and right ventricle close, maintaining separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

79
Q

Bird and mammal circulation

A

Completely separated pulmonary and systemic circulation, systemic has much higher pressure, LV larger than RV

80
Q

Bird and mammal aortic arches

A

3 (carotid artery), 4 (aorta) and 6 (pulmonary artery).

81
Q

Difference in bird and mammal aortic arch?

A

Mammals have the left aortic arch while birds have right.

82
Q

How can capillary beds be bypassed?

A

Arteriolar-venular anastomoses which connect arterioles and venules.

83
Q

How does blood enter the microcirculatory bed?

A

By arteriole.
