Circulatory Flashcards
Thin walled venous chamber
Sinus venosus
Large and thin walled chamber
Atrium
Thick and muscular chamber
Ventricle
Represented by a muscular swelling at base of ventral aorta
Conus arteriosus
Advent of lungfish and amphibian lungs
Double circulation
Shortened ventral aorta
Directs oxygenated blood entering ventricle from left atrium
Spiral valve
Swelling of ventral aorta; smooth muscle
Bulbous arteriosus
Urodele (newts and salamanders)
Partially divided circulation
Sinus venosus empties into right atrium
Pulmonary veins leave left ventricle
A third ventricular chamber shunt between arteries leaving the heart in reptiles
Cavum venosum
Mechanism for breathing and diving in crocodile heart
Lungs not utilized
Blood is not pumped into lungs
Valve between aortic trunks to divert blood
Foramen panizza
4 chambered heart
2 atria
2 ventricle
5th chamber in reptile heart
Sinus venosus
Flap on the side of atrium
Auricle
Major arterial channels
Ventral aorta
Dorsal aorta
6 pairs of aortic arches
Teloest aortic arches
1st and 2nd lost
Dorsal aortae become internal carotids
