gastrovasular cavity
What are the three parts of a “true circulatory system”?
circultory fluid(blood),muscular pump(heart),and set of tubes(blood vessels)to carry the fluid
What are three unique properties of open circulatory systems? (Unique means these properties are only found in open circulatory systems and not shared with closed circulatory systems).
no transport of gasses,fluid flowing in the system hemolymph,and no respirtory pigmets are present
What are the three types of vessels found in the cardiovascular system?
arteries,veins,capillares
How many chambers does the fish heart have? What is a drawback to single circulation?
2 chambers.drawback oxygen delivery rate is slow
What is the name of the circuit where the blood goes from the heart to the lungs and back? When this blood leaves the heart, is it oxygenated or deoxygenated?
pulmury cirutory oxygened
What is the name of the circuit where the blood goes from the heart to the body cells and back? When this blood leaves the heart, is it oxygenated or deoxygenated?
systemic ciriut deoxygened
What’s the difference between single circulation and double circulation?
single circulation blood flows to and from the heart through a single pathway.double circulation two separte pathways that are connected to heart which oxygenated and deoxygened
What’s the difference between three-chambered hearts and four-chambered hearts? Please don’t write the number of chambers:)
3 chambers 1 ventricale 2 artia.4 chambers 2 ventricles 2 artia
What is the difference between endotherms and ectotherms?
endothers generate their own heat and maintain an optimal body tempture.ectotherms external or outside sources to regulate their body heart
What is convergent evolution? How does it relate to this chapter?

inferior vena cava is upper body cappillareies surperior venna cava is lower body capillarries
What do capillaries do?
take waste products away from your tissues
Why are the walls of the atria thinner than the walls of the ventricles?
the atria recives blood rather then pumping it out
What are three facts that are true during diastole?
the semilunar valvesare closed, atrioventicular valves are open,word comes from dia means apart seprated/expansion
What are three facts that are true during systole?
word comes from greek menas contract,atrioventicular valves are closed,nlood pushes through semilunar valves and out of the heart
What controls the speed of your heart contractions?
the brain
What are the four steps of the cardiac cycle?
1 Sa node seprate through atria,2 delayed at the AV node 3 specialized muscle fibers pass sinals to the heart apex 4 spread throughout the ventricles
