circulation! Flashcards
circulatory system parts
lymphatic vascular (collects EVF and returns it to vascular system) and cardiovascular
blood components
plasma, leukocytes (inc. lymphocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, macrophages), erythrocytes (recycled by macrophages regularly), platelets
lymphocyte purposes and quantity
overall 20-50% of leukocytes - monocytes (become macrophages, 2-10%), neutrophils (acute inflammatory response/pus - 40-75%), eosinophils (fight parasites, 1-6%), basophils (histamine, inflammation- <1%)
hematopoesis site
in embryos and salamanders, liver and spleen. in adults, bone marrow. come from stem cells that can become lymphoid or myeloid and differentiate from there
megakaryocytes
can produce platelets and RBCs
blood vessel devo origin
lateral plate mesoderm
blood vessel structure
inside to outside: tunica intima (endothelium, connective tissue, internal elastic lamina), tunica media (smooth muscle), tunica adventita (outer supporting connective tissue)
heart tissue layers
layers of blood vessels but they are called endocardium, myocardium, epicardium
elastic arteries
tunica media has elastin rings otw out of heart
muscular/distributing arteries
from elastic arteries to resistance vessels (arteries and arterioles)
capillaries w types
barely fits erythrocytes. continuous, fenestrated (in endocrine glands, kidneys, intestines, pancreas) or sinusoid (liver and spleen)
venules/veins
thinner walls than arteries, generally wider, store most of the blood. covering has thicker adventita
blood in embryo
forms in “islands” in the mesoderm
elasmobranch heart
s-shaped, near gills, 4 linear chambers (back to front: sinus venosus (blood from common cardinal and hepatic veins), atrium, ventricle, conus arteriosus (spiral, keeps oxy and deoxy blood separate, controls flow to gills, evens pressure)
blood flow path elasmobranchs
heart > aorta > spiracular artery and 5 branchial arteries in gills> efferent branchial arteries to coelic, mesenteric, gonadal, renal arteries (systemic)> hepatic portal veins > liver > hepatic veins > heart
