Chapter 42 Flashcards
Hemolymph goes directly into the organs. This system does not reuse the hemolymph used to transfer O2 to organs
Open circulatory system
Hemoglobin/Blood is confined to vessels and is distinct from interstitial fluid. This system reuses blood and continues to recirculate it. Vessels go back to heart before to body
Closed circulatory system
Do humans have an open or closed circulatory system?
Closed
What types of animals have double circulation?
Amphibians, reptiles, and mammals
What does the SA node do?
Sets rate and time at which cardiac muscle cells contract
Fluid lost by capillaries
Lymph
What cellular element is found most in blood and transports O2 and CO2?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells)
Collects excess cholesterol so that it can be returned to the liver. Good for you.
HDL
Delivers cholesterol to cells for membrane production. Increases risks of heart attacks and stroke. Bad for you.
LDL
Takes place at alveoli (tips of bronchioles)
Gas exchange
What is one similarity between platelets and erythrocytes?
Both do not contain a nucleus, so they will not survive for a long time
What causes sickle cell disease?
Erythrocytes in body do not form complete round cell, but are hook shaped and can get stuck in blood vessels-causes build up and can rupture. Abnormal hemoglobin proteins build up and can deform. Sickle cells can rupture or block blood vessels.
Plays big role in coagulation
Vitamin k
Gas exchange supplies ____ for cellular respiration and disposes of ___
O2; CO2
How fish gills work for respiration. Water passing over gills is going in the opposite direction as the fish’s blood. The blood has less oxygen than the water.
Countercurrent exchange system
What kind of circulatory system does a a grasshopper have?
Open
Frogs, fish, and pandas have ___
Hemoglobin
A grasshopper has ___
Hemolymph
The vessel that supplies the heart muscle with oxygenated blood is the ___
Coronary artery
Which chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the different parts of the body?
Ventricle
What is the main function of the circulatory system in the human body?
Transporting nutrients
What are the 3 main types of blood vessels?
Arteries, veins, capillaries
What animals have a single circulatory system with a two-chambered heart?
Bony fishes, rays, sharks
When oxygen poor and oxygen rich blood are pumped separately from the right and left sides of the heart, that means ___
Double circulation
