Q

arteries

A

blood away from heart to tissues
more pressure
co2, increase acts as a signal to the smooth muscle to relax, allowing arterioles to increase in diameter
So blood flow increases to the capillaries to match O2
Artery walls expand momentarily from heartbeat pressure because of collagen and elastin

Q

fish CS

A

two chambered hearts
single circulatory system
atrium and ventricle
Deoxygenated blood from fish tissues enters atrium, which fills and contract to move blood into a thicker walled ventricle
Oxygenated blood collected from the gills travels to the tissues through aorta
The small gill capillaries impose a large resistance to flow. As a result, much of the blood pressure is lost in moving blood through the gills. This loss of pressure limits the flow of oxygenated blood to body tissues.

Q

A

three chambered hearts
partially divided circulations
two atria and single ventricle
Single ventricle so oxygenated blood returning to the heart from the gills or lungs mixes with deoxygenated blood returning from the animals body before being pumped from the ventricle

Q

systole

Study These Flashcards
A

contraction of ventricles

ventricles contract, pumping blood out of the heart

24
Q

cardiac muscle cells

Study These Flashcards
A

found in sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes

25
Cardiac output
volume of blood pumped by the heart over a given interval of time HR x stroke volume
26
stroke volume
volume of blood pumped during each beat
27
Starling's law
relationship between the volume of blood filling the heart and stroke volume a greater volume of blood returned to the heart increases stretching of the muscles leads to more forceful ejection of blood and a greater stroke volume
28
Ganglia
groups of nerve cell bodies that process sensory information received from a local resulting in a signal to motor neurons that control some physiological function of the animal
29
sponges NS
Have none
30
cephalisation advantages
forward locomotion, nearness of sensory organs to central ganglia/brain makes it possible to process this information quickly; easier to detect and capture prey
31
hydrostatic skeleton length and diameter
Circular muscle reduce diameter of body cavity and longitudinal muscles reduce its length
32
In addition to tendon, three main extracellular tissues are produced in the formation of the vertebrate skeleton:
bone tooth enamel cartilage
33
osteoblasts
synthesise and secrete calcium phosphate as hydroxyapatite mineral crystals in close association with the protein collagen
34
articular cartilage
located at the joint surfaces of a bone forms a cushion between bones meeting at a joint
35
gills
Large aquatic animals Some sessile invertebrates have external gills but they are easily damaged and eaten by predators Actively pump water through mouth over gills to ventilate
36
concurrent flow
when hot and cold water move in same direction, both become warm
37
countercurrent flow
when hot water and cold water move in opposite directions, hot becomes cold and cold becomes hot
38
trachea- insects
They rely on a two step process of ventilation and diffusion to supply cells with oxygen and eliminate CO2 unlike in terrestrial vertebrates Enters through spiracle openings along abdomen; ventilated through trachea; direct to cells; co2 diffuses out our cells and eliminated through trachea
39
characteristics of air allowing tidal ventilation
low density and viscosity
40
tidal volume of lungs
at rest, inhale and exhale about 0.5 L of air every cycle
41
gas exchange in birds
In birds, air is taken in through mouth, then nasal passages through larynx, then trachea, primary bronchi To exhale, posterior sacs expands and air taken to mouth Air capillaries direct the air so that it moves crosscurrent to the blood flow- so more oxygen extracted from air than in mammals After gaining co2, air from lungs enters anterior air sacs and posterior air sac again inflated by fresh air
42
reptile CS
three chambered heart two atria and single ventricle their single ventricle has internal ridges to improve the separation of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood so reptiles more able to deliver oxygen to tissues than amphibians
43
Amphibian CS process
deoxygenated blood from the tissues enters the right atrium from a major vein and is pumped into the single common ventricle oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium and is pumped into the ventricle mixed oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is pumped out of the common ventricle into separate arteries leading to the lungs and tissues
44
mammals and birds CS process
deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the inferior and superior venae cavae deoxygenated blood passes through the right AV valve into right ventricle deoxygenated blood is pumped into the pulmonary arteries through the pulmonary valve to the lungs MEANWHILE Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium Oxygenated blood enters the left ventricle through the left AV valve Oxygenated blood is pumped by the left ventricle through the aortic valve into systemic circulation
45
Walls of the right ventricle- birds and mammals
thinner than left with weaker contractions blood at lower pressure moves slower so more time for gases to diffuse in and out of lungs
46
cardiac cycle
contraction of the two atria followed by contraction of the two ventricles; divided into 2 phases; Diastole- relaxation of ventricles; systole- contraction of ventricles
47
atrial muscle cells
must contract in synchrony during diastole to fill ventricles
48
ventricular muscle cells
must contract in synchrony during systole to eject blood from the heart
49
pulmonary veins carry
oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium
50
path of a drop of blood leaving the human heart
heart → arteries → arterioles → capillaries → venules → veins → heart
51
The heartbeat originates in the
sinoatrial node located at the junction of the vena cava and the right atrium.
52
Which of the following blood vessels play an important role in controlling blood flow to different regions of the body through the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles in their walls?
arterioles
53
At any given point along the length of the gill lamella, how does the pO2 of the blood flowing through the blood vessels in the lamella compare to the pO2of the water flowing over the gill lamella?
The pO2 of the blood is lower than the pO2 of the water.
54
At the venous end of a capillary, the blood pressure is _____ the osmotic pressure and fluid _____ the blood vessel.
lower than; moves into
55
Atrioventricular valves separate
the left atrium from the left ventricle and the right atrium from the right ventricle.
