Cardio System Flashcards
Invertebrate Circulation
No circulatory system
Use simple diffusion to distribute nutrients
Invertebrate Circulation
Open circulatory system
Pumps fluid called hemolymph into sinuses or hemocoel
Invertebrate Circulation
Closed circulatory system
Use a pumping heart to move blood through vessels
Vertebrate Circulation
Fish have how many chambers in their hearts?
2-chambered hearts (atrium and ventricle)
Vertebrate Circulation
Amphibians and reptiles have how many chambers in their hearts?
3-chambered hearts (2 atriums and 1 ventricle)
Vertebrate Circulation
Alligators, birds and humans have how many chambers in their hearts?
4-chambered hearts (2 atriums and 2 ventricles)
AV valve is attached to _______ muscles, which contract to close the AV valves and prevent backflow of blood.
papillary
What valve allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle
tricuspid valve
What valve allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle
bicuspid valve
Lub sound comes from what
AV Valves closing
Dub sound comes from what
SL Valves closing
_____ valves are a type of valve in veins.
Blood clotting cascade steps
- Tissue damage
- Platelet activation
- Thromboplastin release
- Formation of clot
Explain what happens during tissue damage
Damaged tissue tears blood vessel walls, exposing their collagen
Explain what happens during platelet activation
Activated platelets aggregate @ site of the tear, forming a platelet plug
Explain what happens during thromboplastin release
Activated platelets thromboplastin, this converts prothrombin (inactive precursor) → thrombin (active form)
Explain what happens during formation of clot
- Activated thrombin converts fibrinogen (inactive precursor) → fibrin (active form)
- Fibrin forms a **blood clot* (hemostatic plug).
What is the most common WBC?
Neutrophil
