circulation + digestion Flashcards
why do animals need circulatory systems?
transport nutrients wastes and gases into/out of cells
Intracellular body fluid
sum of all fluid inside cell
extracellular body fluid
surrounding cells buffer for chemical changes
blood plasma
division of extracellular fluid- contained in blood vessels
interstitial (between) fluid
division of extracellular fluid- between cells in tissue formed from blood plasma moving in/out of capillaries
plasma 55%
90% water, plasma proteins, glucose, antibodies, hormones, oxygen + carbon dioxide + nitrogen
cells 45%
red blood cells, white blood cells (immune), cells fragments ( for blood clots)
plasma proteins
albumins- keep plasma in osmotic equilibrium/cells (water rush in/out)
globulins- acquired immunity antibodies (requires pathogen)
fibrinogen- blood coagulation
serum- plasma with no fibrinogen
red blood cells
high vol in blood, found in bone marrow in mammals, kidney/spleen in others
no nucleus + biconcave body for gas exchange
non-mammal= have nucleus and flat oval body
blood loss prevention
damaged blood vessel= smooth muscle narrows tube, maybe enough to stop blood but larger animals have fibrinogen
blood coagulation fibers tangle cells to form gel (clot)
platlets
(from bone marrow) stick to disruption in vessel, release clotting thromboplastin, calcium+ others activate thrombin, thrombin transforms fibrinogen to fibrin
fish circulation
single loop, take blood from heart to gills then to the rest of the body
amphibian circulation
3 chamber + 2 atria + 1 ventricle, path from heart to lungs back to heart (oxygenated blood mixes with non) back through atria (one to lungs, one to body)
bird/mammal circulation
4 chamber, 2 each for the separate systemic (body) and pulmonary (lungs) systems
suspension feeders
filter feeders- eat floating particles (plankton) by ciliated surfaces that draw in food to a mucous sheet
gill raker- strainer that catches food to digestive tract
