(2) Circulation Flashcards
Open Circulatory System
blood not always confined to vessels
Ex: Mollusca except Cephalopods, Arthropoda
Closed Circulatory System
blood is entirely confined to vessels
Ex: cephalopods, Annelida, Chordata
Intracellular Body Fluid
within cells
36%
Extracellular Body Fluid
- Blood plasma: in blood vessels 4%
- Interstitial: not in blood vessels 20%
Inorganic ions (composition of body fluids)
Na+, Cl-, HCO3, K+, Mg+2, PO4-3
Proteins (composition of body fluids)
hormones, clotting factors
Nutrients (composition of body fluids)
monosaccharides, amino acids, fatty acids/glycerol
Plasma (Mammalian Blood Plasma Composition)
a. H2O
b. Dissolved solids: protein, glucose, amino acids, ions, etc
c. Dissolved gases: O2, CO2, N2
Formed Elements (Mammalian Blood Plasma Composition)
the blood cells within the liquid part of blood
Erythrocytes
red blood cells
1. no nucleus, ribosomes or DNA
2. Hemoglobin for carrying O2
3. Biconcave disk to increase surface area
Leukocytes
white blood cells
1. Several types
2. Body’s defenses
3. 1 wbc: 700 rbc
Platelets and hemostasis
blood clotting
1. Platelet cells bind to blood vessel tear
2. Platelets and vessel release thromboplastin
3. activates prothrombin into enzyme thrombin
4. this catalyzes fibrinogen to become fibrin
5. fibrin and rbc’s mesh to stop bleeding
6. = a catalytic sequence = a “cascade”
Fish (Comparative Vertebrate Heart Anatomy)
1 Atrium
1 Ventricle
Gills
Body
a. Two heart chamber
b. single circulation
Terrestrial Vertebrates Heart Anatomy
a. double circulation
b. pulmonary circuit of deoxygenated blood to lungs
c. systematic circuit of oxygenated blood to body
Amphibians/Reptiles (Comparative Vertebrate Heart Anatomy)
a. three heart chambers
b. some mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in ventricle
