cirullatory immune respitory Flashcards
A circulatory system typically consists of
blood, _____, and a system of blood ____
or spaces through which bloodcirculates
heart, vessels
sponges and flat worms have
No True Circulatory System
Open Circulatory System Found in and are
arthropods, most mollusks
Blood” flows into a hemocoel
bathing tissues directly
Closed Circulatory System is
Blood flows through a continuous circuit of
blood vessels
Circulatory System Helps maintain
fluid balance, pH, body temperature Defends body against infectious disease
Plasma contains
Water and salts Substances in transport Plasma proteins albumins globulins fibrinogen
Arteries carry blood
away from the heart
Veins return blood
to the heart
what do Arterioles do and how do they do it
constrict (vasoconstriction)
dilate (vasodilation)
Arterioles regulate blood pressure and
distribution of blood to tissues
Capillaries are
thin-walled exchange vessels allow materials to transfer between blood and tissues
During the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates, adaptations in circulatory
system structures led to maintenance of ____ ____ and ______ oxygen-rich from oxygen-poor blood
blood pressure seperate
The four-chambered hearts and double
circuits of endothermic birds and mammals completely separate
oxygen rich blood from oxygen-poor blood
in the Cardiac Cycle
One complete heartbeat is
Closing of AV valves
Closing of semilunar valves
Blood Pressure is
The force blood exerts against inner walls
of the blood vessel
Blood Pressure is greatest in ____ and Decreases in
arteries, capillaries
Blood Pressure 2
Depends on
cardiac output
blood volume
resistance to blood flow
