Cardiovascular System - Lecture 2 Flashcards
What kind of circulation is insect circulation?
open circulation
What is the circulatory fluid called in insects?
hemolymph
What corresponds to the blood and interstitial fluid in vertebrates?
hemolymph
Why doesn’t the circulatory system of insects not transport oxygen unlike the circulatory system of vertebrates?
because it does not have hemoglobin (respiration is carried out by the tracheal system)
How does circulation move in insects?
from back to front due to the dorsal vessel made up of an aorta and thoracic bulbs (heart)
What is the heart part of insects made up of?
chambers all ending in a valve called ostiole
Where is the hemolymph pumped in insects?
ostiole
What kind of circulation do fish have?
closed, single-loop
How many heart chambers do fish have?
2
Where does blood arrive in fish?
through the veins into the atrium then into the ventricle
What allows the blood to be sent into the artery when it contracts in fish?
the ventricle
At what level is blood deoxygenated in fish?
the gill branches
What kind of circulation do amphibians and most reptilians have?
closed, double-loop circulation
How many chambers of the heart do amphibians and most reptiles have?
3
What are the 2 circulations called in amphibians and most reptilians?
- the small circulation or pulmonocutaneous circuit
- the large circulation or systemic circuit
How are the chambers of the heart divided in amphibians and most reptilians?
2 atria and a single ventricle
Where does the small circulation go towards after leaving the ventricle in amphibians and most reptilians?
the lungs and the skin (places where gas exchange takes place)
How is blood ejected into the systemic circulation in amphibians and most reptilians?
blood enriched in O2 returns to the left atrium then passes into the ventricle
Where does oxygen-depleted blood go in amphibians and most reptilians?
the right atrium then to the ventricle
