Circulatory system Flashcards
(37 cards)
gastrovascular system
bring part of outside environment in to the inner
Cnidarians and hydra
gastrovascular cavity- diffusion through here is sufficient. Nutrients enter the cavity and diffuse to most cells of body
Circulatory system
- circulatory fluid (blood)- transport O2 Cos and Wastes
- interconnecting tubes (blood vessels)-throughout body
- musucular pump (heart)- keep fluid moving
Open circulatory system
arthropods, mollusks, insects, clams, lobsters crabs
heart pumps hemolymph fluid into cavities, bathe tissue directly
blood and interstitial fluid the same
open circulatory system advantages
direct exchange of materials, less energy required, lower pressure on internal organs (hydrostatic pressure)
closed circulatory system
blood vessels keep circulatory fluid (blood) separate from interstitial fluid
worms cephalopods vertebrates
advantages of closed circulatory system
higher pressure= more efficient delivery of nutrients and O2 allow higher metabolism
blood flow to specific tissues
controlled by varying vessel diamter
rapid and effective delivery
atrium
receive blood
ventricles
pump blood out
blood is amde of
dissolved ions and proteins
erythroytes- red blood cells that transport oxygen
leukocytes- white blood cells for defense and immunity
plateletes- fragments of cells in clotting
red blood cells
(most abundant in blood, from stem cells in bone marrow)
transport oxygen
cant repair itself
Erythropoietin
a hormone released by the kidney in response to insuffient oxygen, or hypoxia, controls red blood cell production. Acts on bone marrow causing increased production of red blood cells.
negative feedback for blood oxygen levels
arteries
carry blood away from the heart to organs throughout the body. Branch into smaller aterioles, to capillaries. High in oxygen- carrying blood to the organs
hthick walls of elastin
pulmonary artery
exception, deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
capillaries
penetrate the body’s tissues and consist of a single, porous layer of endothelial cells that allow exchange between blod and interstitial fluid.
form a netwrok of capillary blood vessels with max SA
capillary beds–>
small venules–> large veins—> back to heart low in oxgen
pulmonary vein
exception brings oxygenated blood from lungs back to the heart
valves
control direction of blood flow and prevent backflow.
veins BP
is very low, need body movement to keep blood flowing
where does material exchange happen?
capillaries.
arteries
thicker with lots of smooth muscles, round cross sections. Higher blood pressure.
VEins
flattened cross section. Lower blood pressure. Larger lumen.
Fish shark circulatory system
single circuit
Heart has two chambers:
Atrium- receives blood from body
Ventricle- receives blood from the atrium, sends it to the gills
gill capillaries, and systemic capillaries.
Atrium empties blood into ventricle, sends deoxygenated blood to gill capillaries to get oxygenated. Gets oxygen. Pumped to systemic capillaries. Travels into the body circulation in systemic capillaries where it is deoxygenated at needed body tissues. Oxygen depleted blood Returned to the heart via veins to return to the gill capillaries.
amphibian circulatory system
Separate pulmonary (supplies blood to skin and lungs) and systemic circuits (supplies blood to other tissues of the body)
2 atria and a ventricle incompletely divided
L atrium receives oxygenated blood from lungs
R atrium receives deox blood from the body
Ventricle- receives blood from both atria; directs the flow to the lungs and or the body
VAVA pattern
Veins-> atrium–> ventricle–> artery
