Chapter 9- Human Transport Flashcards
circulatory system
system of tubes with a pump and valves to ensure a one-way flow of blood
single circulation system(in fish) 3
- 2 heart chambers
- blood absorbs oxygen in gills
- released in body cells then back to heart
double circulation system
- 4 heart chambers
- blood passes in heart twice
- oxygenated in lungs to heart to body back to heart
- this delivers great blood flow rate to tissues around the body as the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to and from the lungs
vena cava
large vein carrying deoxygenated blood to heart
right atrium
collects deoxygenated blood and pump it to right ventricle
right ventricle
pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs
pulmonary artery
carries deoxygenated blood from ventricle to lungs
septum
separates left and right side of the heart
pulmonary vein
carries oxygenated blood out and pump it to left atrium
left atrium
collects oxygenated blood and pumps it to left ventricle
left ventricle
pumps oxygenated blood to body through the aorta
aorta
carries oxygenated blood from left ventricle to rest of the body
tricuspid&bicuspid valves
prevent backflow into the atria when ventricles contract
pulmonary and aortic valves
prevents backflow into the ventricles from arteries
physical activity(effect on heart and reason)
makes the heart beat quicker and more deeply for an increased circulation of blood
l_>so that more oxygen and glucose can get to the muscles
