Circulatory Pathways Flashcards
two types of circulatory pathways
open
closed
open circulatory system in present in
arthropods and molluscs
how does open circulatory system work
blood pumped by heart passes through large vessels into open spaces or body cavities called sinuses
closed circulatory system is present in
annelids and chordates
how does closed circulatory system work
blood pumped by heart is always circulated through a closed network of blood vessels
how many chambers do fishes have in their heart
2 (one atrium, one ventricle)
amphibians and reptiles have how many chambers in their hearts
3 (two atrium, one ventricle)
which reptile does not have a 3 chambered heart
crocodile
crocodiles, birds, mammals have how many chambers in their hearts
4 (two atria, two ventricles)
explain single circulation in fishes
heart pumps out deoxygenated blood which is oxygenated by the gills and
supplied to the body parts from where deoxygenated blood is returned to
the heart
explain incomplete double circulation in amphibians and reptiles
In amphibians and reptiles, the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the gills/lungs/skin and the right atrium
gets the deoxygenated blood from other body parts. However, they get mixed up in the single ventricle which pumps out mixed blood
human circulatory system is also called
blood vascular system
origin of circulatory system
mesoderm
size of heart
size of clenched fist
It is protected by a double walled membranous bag, ________________, enclosing the ___________ fluid.
pericardium
