Q

In vertebrates, — is the dominant hemostatic defense.

A

blood coagulation

21
Q

Thrombin is normally present in blood in an inactive form called —

A

prothrombin

22
Q

Blood circulation where the circulating fluid, blood, is confined to vessels throughout its journey through the vascular system.

A

closed circulation

23
Q

A blood circulation where there are no small blood vessels or capillaries interfacing with cells or connecting arteries with veins.

A

open circulation

24
Q

In insects and other arthropods, in most mollusks, and in many smaller invertebrate groups blood sinuses, collectively called a —, replace capillary beds found in animals with closed systems.

A

hemocoel

25
Q

What are the 2 compositions of hemocoel?

A
  • primary body cavity (persistent blastocoel)
  • secondary coelomic cavities (hemolymph)
26
Q

In arthropods, the heart and all viscera lie in the hemocoel, bathed by blood. Blood enters the heart through valved openings called —

A

ostia

27
Q

A —- pumps blood into — that branch and narrow into — and then into a vast system of — that interfaces with cells in body tissues. Blood leaving capillaries enters — and then — that return the blood to the heart.

A
  • heart
  • arteries
  • arterioles
  • capillaries
  • venules
  • veins
28
Q

In a fish heart, the atrium is preceded by an enlarged chamber called the —-, which collects blood from the venous system to assure a smooth delivery of blood to the heart.

A

sinus venosus

29
Q

With the evolution of lungs instead of gills between the heart and aorta, vertebrates developed a high-pressure double circulation which is composed of

A
  • a systemic circuit
  • a pulmonary circuit
30
Q

A circuit in double circulation that provides oxygenated blood to the capillary beds of the body organs

A

systemic circuit

31
Q

A circuit in double circulation that serves the lungs

A

pulmonary circuit

32
Q

a muscular organ located in the thorax and covered by a tough, fibrous sac

A

mammalian heart

33
Q

The tough, fibrous sac that covers the mammalian heart

A

pericardium

34
Q

Blood returning from the lungs flows through the —-and collects in the —-, passes into the —-, and is pumped into the body (systemic) circulation via the —-. Blood returning from the body flows through the —– and —- into the —- and passes into the —- , which pumps it into the lungs via the —-.

A
  • pulmonary veins
  • left atrium
  • left ventricle
  • aorta
  • inferior (posterior)
  • superior(anterior) vena cava
  • right atrium
  • right ventricle
  • pulmonary arteries
35
Q

The backflow of blood in the heart is prevented by two sets of valves. These are the

A

left atrioventricular (bicuspid) and right atrioventricular (tricuspid) valves

36
Q

prevent backflow from pulmonary arteries and aorta into the ventricles.

A

semilunar valves

37
Q

Contraction is called —, and relaxation —-

A

systole ; diastole

38
Q

volume of blood forced from either ventricle each minute

A

cardiac output

39
Q

Vertebrate cardiac muscle does not depend on nerve activity to initiate a contraction. Instead, regular contractions are established by specialized cardiac muscle cells, called

A

pacemaker cells

40
Q

In a nonavian reptile, bird, or mammal heart
the pacemaker is in the —-

A

sinoatrial (SA) node

41
Q

The —- in the brain provides external regulation to the heart and is located in the medulla

A

cardiac center

42
Q

the heart muscle requires that the heart have its own vascular supply, the —-

A

coronary circulation

43
Q

Another term for heart attack

A

myocardial infarction

44
Q

What heart beats simultaneously and involuntarily even if completely removed from the body? These are specialized muscle cells that initiate the heartbeat.

A

myogenic (“muscle origin”)

45
Q

In these hearts, a cardiac ganglion (group of nerve
cell bodies) located on the heart serves as a pacemaker. If this ganglion is separated from the heart, the heart stops beating, even though the ganglion itself remains rhythmically active.

A

neurogenic (“nerve origin”)

46
Q

An artery that carries oxygenated blood is —
and the artery that carries the deoxygenated blood is —

A

aorta; pulmonary artery

47
Q

An artery that can increase or decrease their
diameter

A

muscular arteries

48
Q

Today, blood pressure is measured in humans with an instrument called a —-

A

sphygmomanometer.
