open circulatory advantage

A

lower hydrostatic pressure makes them expend less energy

16
Q

systole

A

contraction phase of the cardiac cycle where blood is pushed out

17
Q

diastole

A

relaxation phase of cardiac cycle where ventricles fill with blood

18
Q

atrioventricular valve

A

between atrium and ventricle

19
Q

semilunar valves

A

located at the two exits of the ventricles

20
Q

sinoatrial node

A

pacemaker sets rate and timing at which all cardiac muscle cells contract

21
Q

myogenic heart

A

vertebrate hearts that sets its own rate compared to outside nerves in neurogenic heart

22
Q

electrocardiogram

A

EKG; currents carried by electrodes shows heartbeat

23
Q

endothelium

A

lines the lumen of all blood vessels; single layer of flattened cells that minimizes resistance to blood flow

24
Q

lymphatic system

A

fluid leaks out of cardiovascular and into lymph vessels

25
erythrocytes
lack nuclei and mitochondria; generate ATP from anaerobic metabolism
26
leukoctyes
monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes
27
blood clots
fibrinogen is inactive form and fibrin is the active form
28
coelom
hollow core of each gill that is part of outer layer of sea star
29
parapodia
serve as gills for marine worms called polychaetes
30
crustacean gills
exoskeleton covers the gills
31
countercurernt exchange
as blood moves through gill capillaryit encounters water with higher O2 concentration
32
spiracles
air enters the tracheae through these openings insects body surface and passes into smaller tubes called tracheoles
33
negative pressure breathing
mammals have this but amphibians have positive pressure breathing
34
air sacs
in birds there are eight or nine air sacs and one way channels called parabronchi
35
hemocyanin
respiratory pigment in arthropods has copper as its oxygen binder coloring the blood blue
36
hemoglobin
respiratory pigment of nearly all vertebrates and some invertebrates found in erythrocytes
37
Bohr shift
a drop in pH from active tissue lowers the affinity of hemoglobin for O2 for cellular respiration
38
myoglobin
has a higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin
