27
Q

What is the countercurrent mechanism that exists in fish gills?

A

It is a mechanism that allows the fish to take up a lot of oxygen from the water because the blood and water move in opposite direction. As water moves to the back, the blood moves to the front which allows it to take up more O2 from the water.

Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of gills

A

Advantage: it maximizes O2 uptake due to countercurrent mechanism
Disadvantage: it is only efficient for aquatic animals. If they were present in land animals, the animals would loose to much water to evaporation when exposed to air.

37
Q

In the human respiratory system, describe their trachea.

A

It branches out into 2 bronchi and then each bronchus branches out into bronchioles and the bronchioles terminate at the alveoli where gas exchange occurs

38
Q

What are surfactants

A

specialized secretions of the alveoli which prevent them from sticking shut from the surface tension of their moist surface

39
Q

describe the relationship of the blood and gases in the lungs.

A

The blood picks up oxygen and drops off CO2

40
Q

Describe the relationship between the blood and gases in the body tissues.

A

The blood drops off O2 and picks up CO2

41
Q

Why do gas exchange occur?

A

due to concentration gradient. Gas moves from higher to lower concentration

42
Q

What is more abundant in the alveoli, O2 or CO2?

A

O2

43
Q

What is more abundant in body tissues, O2 or CO2?

A

CO2

44
Q

What are the three phases of gas exchange using lungs.

A

1) Breathing
2) Transport of gases in the blood
3) Gas exchange with body cells

45
Q

Explain the breathing of gas exchange using the lungs.

A

CO2 is expelled out of the body and O2 is taken up

46
Q

How are gasses transported in the blood?

A

O2 binds with the hemoglobin and CO2 are dissolved in plasma

47
Q

The cells take up _______ and release ______

A
  • O2

- CO2

48
Q

O2 binds to what?

A

proteins called respiratory pigments

49
Q

In molluscs and arthropods, where does O2 bind to

A

hemocyanin which contains copper

50
Q

In most vertebrates and some invertebrates, where does O2 bind to?

A

hemoglobin which contains iron

51
Q

Most CO2 in the blood enter ________-

A

red blood cells

52
Q

In red blood cells, some CO2 binds with _________ but most reacts _______ to produce ________ which dissociates to _______ + _______.

A
  • hemoglobin
  • water
  • carbonic acid
  • H+
  • bicarbonate
53
Q

The bicarbonate ions formed from carbonic acid goes where? What does this mean.

A

to the plasma of blood.

- CO2 is transported in blood this way

54
Q

The h+ released by carbonic acid goes to where? What does this mea?

A

binds with Hemoglobin and buffers pH

55
Q

Describe the circulatory system of fishes.

A

They have a 2 chambered heart with a single circulation

56
Q

what helps the movement of blood in fishes?

A

swimming

57
Q

describe the circulatory system of amphibians

A

1) They have a 3 chambered heart
2) They have a double circulation
therefore a pulmocutaneous circuit and systemic circuit exist

58
Q

Describe the single ventricles of some amphibians such as (turtles, snakes and lizards)

A

they have a partial separation between their single valve (pulmonary and systemic)

59
Q

Describe the circulatory system of crocodiles, birds & mammals.

A

They have a four chambered heart and a double circulation therefore a pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit exist

60
Q

Differentiate the pulmonary circuit/pulmocutaneous circuit and systemic circuit

A

pulmonary circuit - carries blood between the heart and lungs
pulmocutaneous circuit - carries blood between the heart and the lungs/skin

systemic circuit - carries blood between the heart and the rest of body

61
Q

Arteries and veins are made of three tissue layers. What are they?

A

1) Connective tissue
2) Smooth muscle
3) a single layer of epithelial cells (epithelium)

64
Q

Do arteries have valves?

A

yes

65
Q

do veins have valves?

A

yes

66
Q

why are there valves in the veins?

A

since veins have lower blood pressure, the valves exist to increase it and also prevents blood from flowing back or flowing away from the heart

67

72
Q

In the lymphatic system, the lymphatic vessels pick up what?

A

73
Q

After the lymph vessels collect lymph, what do they do with it?

A

send it back to the circulatory system via connections in veins found in the neck

74
Q

What does the lymphatic system do?

A
  • immunity

- return tissue fluid back to the circulatory system
