Chapter 42: Circulatory system Flashcards
What is diffusion proportional to
- Square of the distance
What consists of circulatory system
- A muscular pump (heart)
- a circulatory fluid
- a set of interconnecting vessels
What is open circulatory system
- Heart pumps blood into hemocoel
What is closed- circulatory system
- Heart pumps blood into vessels
Veins belong to oxygenated or deoxygenated blood
- Deoxygenated blood
Capillaries belong to oxygenated or deoxygenated blood
- Oxygenated blood
What types of species have single circulation
- Bony fishes
What types of species have double circulation
- Mammals, reptiles, amphibians
Pulmonary circuit vs systemic circuit
- pulmonary circuit at the lungs
- systemic circuit from body
Why mammals and birds heart has four chambers
- As they’re endotherms, they need more energy to get O2 in and CO2 out of the body
What is cardiac cycle
- Indicates the rhythm cycle of heart contract and relax
What is systole
- The contraction, pumping phase
What is diastole
- The relaxation or filling phase
How many valves heart have
- Four (2 AV valves and 2 Semilunar valves)
What is the natural pacemaker in the heart
- SA node
What is the name of the highest pressure in the arteries
- Systolic pressure
What is the name of the lower pressure in the arteries
- Diastolic pressure
What is the formula of cardiac output
Stroke volume x Heart rate
Vasoconstriction vs Vasodilation
- Increases blood pressure vs decreases blood pressure
