Q

Open circulatory system
Hemocoel
Interstitial space

A

Blood flows from arteries into diffuse spaces between cells (interstitial space) or into special blood cavities surrounding organs then returns to the heart via ostia
Blood in open systems is called hemolymph
Hemocoel is the body cavity of an open circulatory organism

Q

Hepatic portal system

what does it collect from?
where does that stuff go?
what does the stuff contain?
Where do those things go after the liver?

A

Collects venous blood from digestive tract and spleen
Delivers blood to the liver via the hepatic portal vein
portal blood contains the substances absorbed by the digestive tract
substances are processed in the liver before being either … released into hepatic veins, or store in the liver for later use

Q

Heartbeat
systole?
diastole?

A

contraction
Relaxation

Blood movement from atria to ventricles

Blood movement from ventricles to the body

24
Q

atrial systole/diastole
step 1 and 2

A

Step 1 : systole pushes blood from atria to ventricle
Step 2 : diastole creates negative pressure in atria and draws blood in from the venous system

25
Q

Ventricular systole/diastole
step 1 and 2

A

Step 1: Diastole creates negative pressure in the ventricle and allows for blood to be drawn in
Step 2: Systole of the ventricles provides force to move blood through the circulatory system

26
Q

Cardiac muscle unique quality?

A

automaticity

27
Q

Pacemaker cells
location? function?

A

SA Node
initiate wave of electrical activity, which stimulates contraction of cardiac muscle

28
Q

Fish circulatory system

A

Deoxygenated blood -> heart -> ventral aorta -> aortic arches (through gills) -> dorsal aorta -> rest of body

29
Q

Wave of electrical activity in heart

A

SA node ->
both atria ->
AV node ->
AV bundles ->
purkinje fibers->
both ventricles

30
Q

Heart rate control?
what two nerves control heart rate?
slow/fast?
Where do the nerves terminate?

A

Vasomotor control center in medulla regulates HR
Vagus nerve (cranial) / Accelerator nerve (spinal nerve)
Vagus slows / Accelerators speed up
They terminate in the SA node

31
Q

Baroreceptor
2 locations ?

A

A receptor which detects changes in blood pressure

Aortic arch and carotid artery

32
Q

What influences heart rate?

A

BP, O2 and CO2 concentration, blood pH, hormones, emotional state

33
Q

BP too high?
BP too low?

A

Vagus nerve slows down heart rate
Accelerator nerves speeds up heart rate

34
Q

Parasympathetic vs Sympathetic

A

Para slows down, Sympa speeds up

35
Q

Chemoreceptors monitor what?

A

O2, CO2, pH of blood

36
Q

Chemoreceptors and baroreceptors communicate with what?

A

Vasomotor control center

37
Q

Capillary exchange
in closed circ systems?
Is it just diffusion?

A

materials (O2, nutrients, hormones) move to
Capillary <–> interstitial fluid <–> body’s cells
and what can be sent back to systemic circulation is other materials (CO2, N wastes, hormones)
No

38
Q

Blood composition of vertebrates
Is plasma cellular?

A

55% plasma (acellular) (water, solutes, gases)
45% cells RBCs, WBCs, Clotting factors (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets/thrombocytes)

39
Q

Capillaries are permeable to?
Impermeable to?

A

water, nutrients, small ions, gases
large plasma proteins

40
Q

Hydrostatic pressure / Osmotic pressure relationship
Do they oppose each other?

A

If hydrostatic pressure is greater than osmotic pressure, net movement favors going out of the capillary

If osmotic pressure is greater than hydrostatic pressure, net movement favors going into the capillary

They oppose each other

41
Q

Where is hydrostatic pressure greatest?
What impact does this have?

A

At the proximal end of the capillary because blood is under higher pressure moving from a big vessel to a small vessel (protein-free)
Forces water and small molecules out
Important for providing tissue cells with oxygen and nutrients

42
Q

Where is colloidal osmotic pressure greatest?
What impact does this have?

A

Highest at distal end of the capillary because blood is more concentrated than the interstitial fluid, drawing water and dissolved molecules (wastes) into the capillary

43
Q

Proximal end can be thought of as what?

A

Arterial (carrying nutrients in) vs Venous (carrying wastes out)

44
Q

Mechanisms for regulating blood flow

A

Contraction of smooth muscle arterioles - reduces blood flow to particular body organs
Contraction of precapillary sphincters - controls flow through particular parts of a capillary bed

45
Q

Fish heart

A

Zig Zag like a S
Top right of S is sinus venosus
Left arch of S is atrium
Bottom right arch of S is ventricle
S terminates at left is conus arteriorsus

46
Q

Frog heart 6 major structures

A

Spiral valve - separates oxygen and deoxygenated blood streams (much like septum)
pulmocutaneous artery - carries blood to lungs (pulmonary veins backflow to heart)
Carotid artery - carries blood to head
Systemic artery - carries blood to trunk
trabeculae - keep O2/De-O2 blood separated pretty well

47
Q

Branchia

A

gills

48
Q

What happens when outflow exceeds inflow?
Describe what causes this?

A

Excess fluid, lymph, from the interstitial space is collected by the lymphatic system

More hydrostatic pressure than there is osmotic colloidal pressure forces out more than colloidal osmotic pressure brings in, causing a buildup of fluid

49
Q

Lymph returns to the circulatory system where?

A

The thoracic duct, draining into the left innominate vein of the neck

50
Q

What are major fluid compartments of an animal’s body? How does blood fit into this picture?

A

Blood vessels, interstitial, and intracellular. Blood exists in the blood vessels of the body, so it would fit into the blood vessels section.

51
Q

What are the advantages of an open vs a closed circulatory system?

A

An open system would be advantageous because it would require less energy to operate since pressure does not need to be maintained as rigorously with a plumbing network, rather it would just need to organize the arterial system it has well.

52
Q

What is the main difference between the pattern of blood flow in a fish and a mammal or a bird?

A

The main difference in blood flow between a fish and a mammal/bird is the single circuit vs double circuit system. Fishes still send blood to a respiratory organ, but there is only one pump powering both, which makes it not as effective a pump as a mammal or bird. However, the fish pump requires less energy since it is only powering 1 pump rather than 2.

53
Q

Describe the pattern of blood flow through the mammalian heart, noting which chambers contain oxygenated/deoxygenated blood

A

Right atrium (de) -> Right ventricle (de) -> Pulmonary trunk (de) -> Pulmonary artery (de) -> Pulmonary veins (ox) -> Left atrium (ox) -> Left ventricle (ox) -> Aorta

54
Q

Describe the role of hemoglobin and other respiratory pigments in oxygen transport in the blood

A

Hemoglobin binds oxygen to it and transports it to cells in the body.

55
Q

How is that hemoglobin can take up oxygen in lung capillaries, but release it in tissue capillaries

A

Hemoglobin binds in low oxygen settings, so in tissues that need oxygen because not a lot is readily available, hemoglobin will release this oxygen into the plasma, the oxygen will diffuse over the blood vessel into the interstitial fluid, and enter the cell that needs it via diffusion.
