circulation (lab) Flashcards
Blood flow in mammals pathway
Right atrium -> Right ventricle -> Pulmonary artery -> CAPILLARIES IN THE lungs (where gas exchange occurs!) -> Pulmonary veins -> Left atrium -> Left ventricle -> Aorta (long vessel extending down the length of the body to deliver blood to organs, where blood becomes deoxygenated) -> Cranial vena cava (upper body)/Caudal vena cava (lower body) -> back to right atrium, repeat
blood flow pathway sharks
Atrium -> Ventricle -> Conus arteriosus -> Ventral aorta -> Afferent branchial arteries (afferent = ‘towards’; branchial = ‘gills’) -> CAPILLARY BEDS IN THE GILL LAMELLAE (where gas exchange occurs!) -> Efferent branchial arteries (efferent = ‘away from’) -> Dorsal aorta (long vessel extending down the length of the body to deliver blood to organs, where blood becomes deoxygenated) -> Sinus venosus (back to atrium, repeat)
pleural cavity
cavity for lungs
ventral aorta
in sharks, after conus arteriosus, leads to branchial arteries
branchial arteries
bring blood to and from gills. start at ventral aorta, end up dorsal aorta (move thru systemic)
dorsal aorta
merged efferent branchial arteries, moves blood thru system
celiac artery
first to branch off the dorsal aorta above liver. splits again around stomach
thoracic region
where the thoracic vert are
coronary arteries and veins
visible on outside of ventricle
aortic arch (mammals)
from R ventricle, curves over pulmonary artery caudally to form dorsal aorta (goes to systemic)
common carotid arteries mink
branch off brachiocephalic in mammal (place of jugular vein)
subclavians
arteries: R comes off branchiocephalic (R of carotid), L comes out of aorta outside of where brachiocephalic comes out and moves cranially. (subclavian vein is in same place)
brachial artery/vein
comes off from axial artery (branch of subclavian) to be most lateral branch. vein is same position but it attaches to subclavian vein etc
jugular veins
on either side of the neck, connect down to branchiocephalic veins, the internal (smaller) is internal and external is external
caudal vena cava
connects to systemic veins in trunk to bring blood back to R side
cranial vena cava
connects to branchiocephalic vein to bring blood back to R side
innominate
brachiocephalic
axillary artery/vein
branch off subclavian towards arms
