Q

spongy myocardium (3)

A
  • meshwork of loosely connected cells

  • spongy myocardium
20
Q

amphibian heart: chambers (3)

A
  • two atria
  • one ventricle
  • conus arteriosus
21
Q

amphibian heart: ventricle (2)

A
  • trabecular in ventricle
  • helps to prevent mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the ventricle
22
Q

amphibian heart: right atrium (2)

A
  • contains the sinus venosus
  • receives deoxygenated blood
23
Q

amphibian heart: left atrium

A
  • receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein
24
Q

amphibian heart: conus arteriosus (2)

A
  • contains a spiral fold
  • helps direct deoxygenated blood to pulmocutaneous circuit and oxygenated blood to the systemic circuit
25
Q

circulatory pattern in amphibians (5)

A
  • oxygenated blood leaves the heart and enters the aorta
  • blood is delivered to the tissues, where it becomes deoxygenated
  • deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium, where it mixes with oxygenated blood coming back from the skin (cutaneous respiration)
  • blood is pumped from the ventricle into the pulmocutaneous artery, where it becomes oxygenated at the lungs or at the skin
  • oxygenated blood enters the heart through the left atrium
26
Q

reptile hearts (3)

A
  • five-chambered heart
  • separation of oxygenated and deoxygenate blood in ventricle is nearly complete
  • compact myocardium
27
Q

reptile heart: chambers (2)

A
  • two atria
  • three interconnected ventricular compartments, which allow for good degree of blood separation
28

A
  • cavum venosum
  • cavum pulmonale
  • cavum arteriosum
29
Q

  • reptiles can shunt blood to bypass the pulmonary circuit or systemic circuit
  • can be a right-to-left shunt or a left-to-right shunt
33

A
  • deoxygenated blood bypasses pulmonary circuit and enters systemic circuit, bypassing the lungs
  • thought to be active during breath-holding
34
Q

  • thought to be active when aiding in oxygen delivery to the myocardium in the right heart

circulatory pattern in reptiles (5)

A
  • oxygenated blood leaves the cavum venosum and enters the systemic aortas
  • blood is delivered to the tissues where it becomes deoxygenated
  • blood re-enters the heart through the right atrium and fills the cavum pulmonale
  • deoxygenated blood is pumped into the lungs, where it becomes oxygenated again
  • oxygenated blood enters the heart through the left atrium and fills the cavum arteriosum, then cavum venosum
