bio transport unit Flashcards
Respiration and transport in earthworm
Respiration: diffusion through moist skin
Transport: closed circulation with blood, arches for heart, hemoglobin carries O2
Respiration and transport in amoeba, paramecium and hydra
All diffusion!! O2 diffuses in and CO2 diffuses out. No blood involved.
Respiration in grasshopper
“nose” hole- spiracle
O2 moves into tubes
O2 diffuses into spaces (sinus)
O2 diffuses from sinus to cells
Transport in grasshopper
Open circulation
No hemoglobin- no O2 transport
Fluid circulated openly through sinus (space) from tube with heat to body and back
Life process of transport
absorption and circulation of materials within organism
Types of transport across cell membranes
Diffusion, active transport, endocytosis and exocytosis
Special features of circulatory system
3 cell types
3 vessel types
2 pathways
2 pumps
Pacemaker
Generated signal on right atria- sets rate of beating of heart
Blood pressure
Result of heart muscle contraction
Expressed as systole/diastole
Systole: arteries at heart contraction
Diastole: arteries at heart relaxation
Pulse
Pressure of left ventricle contraction felt in ARTERIES ONLY
Coronary circulation
Heart to heart
Part of systemic pathway
Blood supplied to heart muscle itself
Blockage in this pathway leads to a heart attack!
Plasma
Made up of dissolved nutrients, metabolic wastes, salts and CO2 and proteins which do various things
Red blood cells
No nucleus
Contain hemoglobin- a protein which binds O2
Transport O2 to body
Disorders of circulatory system
High blood pressure
Heart attack
Hardening of the arteries- build up of fat in arteries- increasing blood pressure
Lymphatic system
Open system of vessels which collect plasma that leaked out of capillaries
