Lecture 30- Four Chambered Heart, Layers, Blood Flow Flashcards
Why don’t smaller organisms require a heart?
They use diffusion for waste/O2/nutrients instead
What type of animals require a pump?
3D animals
How many pumps/heart chambers do fish have?
One pump
Two chambered heart
How many pumps/heart chambers to mammals/birds have?
Two pumps
Four chambered heart
What is the main issue with a one pump/2 chamber system?
Not effiecient
What are the two pumps used for in the human body?
One for lungs and the other for the body
What does the left pump do?
Pumps blood from the lungs to the systemic vasculature
What does the right pump do?
Acts as the pulmonary pump and pumps blood to the capillaries in the lungs
Which pump is known as the pulmonary pump?
The right pump
What are the six series steps of the pumps?
Deoxygenated blood–>Right Pump–>Lungs–>Oxygenated blood–>Left Pump–>Systemic Vasculature
Where does blood enter to the Right Atrium through?
Inferior or Superior Vena Cava
What do the inferior and superior vena cavas tell you?
If blood is coming from the head or the lower parts of body
What valve separates the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle?
Right Atrioventricular (AV) valve
AKA Tricuspid valve
What valve separates the Right Ventricle and Pulmonary arterty?
Pulmonary valve
Where does deoxygenated blood enter the heart?
Vena Cava (superior/inferior)
