Circulatory Systems Flashcards
what is a double system?
Blood vessels twice through the heart for each circuit of the body.
what is a closed system?
The blood is enclosed in blood vessels and does not come directly in contact with the cells of the body.
what are the feature of a closed circulatory system?
- Blood enclosed in the vessels
- Heart pumps in the blood around the body under pressure quickly and returns to the heart
- substances enter the body by diffusion through the walls of the blood vessels.
where are single closed circulatory systems found in?
number of groups including fish and annelid worms
what do single closed circulatory system transport?
Transports blood through a single circuit where blood is pumped by the heart to the gills for oxygenation
what are the key features of a single closed circulatory system?
- blood passes through two sets of capillaries before it returns back to the heart.
- first capillaries - exchange oxygen and CO2.
- second capillaries - substances are exchanged between the blood and cell
- blood pressure drops in the system so blood returns to the cell slowly
what do the first capillaries exchange in a single closed circulatory system?
exchange oxygen and CO2.
what do the second capillaries exchange in a single closed circulatory system?
substances are exchanged between the blood and cell
where are open circulatory systems found?
found in mainly invertebrate animals including insects
What are the key features of a open circulatory systems ?
- few vessels to contain the transport medium
- pumped straight from the heart into the body cavity of an animal
- transports medium returns to the heart through an open ended vessel
what do open circulatory systems transport?
food and nitrogenous waste products and the cells involved in deference against disease
what do open circulatory systems not transport?
Oxygen or carbon dioxide
where are double closed circulatory systems found in?
found in ventricles in the heart
what do double closed circulatory systems transport?
- deoxyenated blood to the lungs
- oxygenated blood to the body
what are the key features of a double closed circulatory systems?
- transports substances around the body
- involved in two separate circulations
- blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide
- blood flow through the heart is pumped out to travel all around the body and return to the heart
