Lab - Dogfish Shark Circulatory Flashcards
The heart is covered in a shiny membrane called the ______. The membrane enclosing the pericardial cavity is referred to as the _____.
Visceral pericardium. Parietal pericardium
Name the structures labelled 1-8 and trace the flow of blood through the heart including all apertures
- Coronary artery
- Atrium
- Ventricle
- Sinus venosus
- Conus arteriosis
- Ventral aorta
- Afferent branchial arteries
- Efferent branchial arteries
Low-oxygen blood is collected in the sinus venosus and sent to the atrium via the sinuatrial aperture (guarded by the sinuatrial valve), blood passes into the ventricle through the atrioventricular aperture (sinuatrial valve closes to prevent backflow), and finally flows through the ventricle into the conus arteriosis, which is filled with semilunar valves that prevent backflow
Name the structures labelled 1-3.
One of these structures is an enlargment of the _______
- Posterior Cardinal Sinus - an enlargement of the posterior cardinal vein
- Sinus venosus
- Ventricle
The anterior and posterior cardinal sinuses drain into the ______, a small vein between the cardinal sinuses and the ______
Common cardinal vein
Sinus venosus
The ______ sinus lies between the ovaries or testes and enters into the ______ sinus via the _____ or _____ vein
Gonadial.
Posterior cardinal sinus.
Ovarian or testicular
The ______ veins drain the epaxial musculature into the _______
Intersegmental veins into the lateral abdominal veins
The _____ is visible in the mouth as a fairly large collapsed hole posterior to the cut surface of the hyoid arch
Hyoidean sinus
The _____ vein drains the pectoral fin
Brachial
The Hepatic Portal system drains blood from the _____ into the _____
organs, liver to be processed
The ______ sinuses are found inside the liver, draining into the _______
Hepatic sinuses, hepatic vein
Name the veins labelled 1-9. Trace the flow of blood through them, including the meet-up points of veins
- Hepatic vein
- Hepatic sinus
- Hepatic portal vein
- Gastric vein
- Pancreocomesenteric vein
- Lienomesenteric vein
- Anterior intestinal vein
- Posterior intestinal vein
- Leinogastric vein
The posterior intestinal vein drains the digitiform gland and the posterior portion of the intestine, meeting up with the leinograstric vein (drains the spleen and posterior portion of stomach), where it becomes the lienomesenteric vein and heads back to the Hepatic Portal vein.
The anterior intesteinal vein leads into the pancreomesenteric vein (in the dorsal pancreas) and reaches the Hepative Portal vein.
The gastric vein simply branches off of the hepatic portal and services the stomach.
All of these veins drain into the hepatic sinuses of the liver where the blood is processed before they head through the hepatic veins to the heart
Describe the renal portal veins and their systems
The renal portal veins are located within the opistonephros (may be hard to see), taking blood from the single caudal vein. Afferent renal veins (off the renal portal veins) supply the opistonephros whereas the efferent renal veins drain the opistonephros into the posterior cardinal vein (in the middle of the renal portal veins)
_____ renal veins drain the opistonephros
Efferent
What is the basic arterial pathway of blood?
heart -> gills -> body
____ branchial arteries are located on the ventral surface of the shark and carry ______ blood ____ the gills. _____ branchial arteries are located on the dorsal surface of the shark and carry ______ blood ____ the gills.
The arteries are named from first to last in the ____ to ____ direction
Afferent, deoxygenated, to
Efferent, oxygenated, from
Anterior to posterior
