Explain the function of a transport system

A

It moves carbon dixoide and nitrogenous waste away from the body cells. Large animals require a transport system to get food and oxygen to the body cells

Q

Define haemoceals

A

This means a blood cavity. Organs are found within the haemoceal. These organs are submerged with blood, and i this way obtain oxygen and food from the blood by diffusion. Carbon dioxide and nitrigenous waste diffuse out of these organs and are transported away from the blood

Q

Define the double circulatory system

A

Blood is pumped from the heart along two circuits. The pulmonary circuit where deoxygenated blood moves from the heart to the lungs and returns to the heart oxygenated blood. Systematic circuits where oxygenated blood is pumped throughout the body and returns to the heary as deoxygenated blood

Q

Define the heart

A

25
Name the function of the Right atrium

26
Name the function of the tricuspid valve
The tricuspid valve prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium
27
Name the function of the tendonous cords
The tendonous cords prevent valve segments from flapping back into the right atrium
28
Name the function of the right ventricle

29
Name the function of the inferior vena cava
The inferior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the right atrium
30
Name the function of the thinner muscular wall
The thinner muscular wall contracts to force blood to move from the right atrium to the lungs
31
Name the function of the pericardium
Membrane that encloses and protects the heart
32
Name the function of the coronary artery
The coronary artery supplies oxygenated blood to muscles of the heart
33
Name the function of the coronary vein
Carries deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle
34
Name the function of the aorta
Transports oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to all parts of the body
35
Name the function of then semi lunar valves
Prevents back-flow of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle
36
Name the function of the pulmonary veins
The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium
37
Name the function of the left atrium
Recieves oxygenated blood via pulmonary viens from lungs
38
Name the function of the bicuspid mitral valve
The bicuspid mitral valve prevents blood from the left ventricle flowing back into left atrium
39
Name the function of the left ventricle
Oxygenated blood from this chamber is pumped throughout the body
40
Name the function of the thicker muscular wall
The thicker muscular wall provides powerful contractions to pump blood from left ventricle to all parts of the body
41
Name the function of the septum
Separating wall preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
42
Why is the thicker muscle thick and the thinner muscle thin?
Tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve prevent blood from remaining in ventricle and try to push it out
43
Why does the thicker muscle wall need to be thick?
It needs to have powerful contractions
44
Define the cardiac cycle
The contractions and relaxations of the heart muscles. The 'lub-dub' sound of a beating heart, which is closing valves as the atrial and ventricular muscles contract
45
Sino-Atrial node (SA node)
A group of specialised cells located at the right atrium acts as a pacemaker. IT determines the rate of contraction of the atria and the ventricles according to the needs of the body, co-ordinates the contraction of the heart muscles
46
How long does each cycle last
0,8 seconds
47
Name and define each phase
1) Atrial systole -muscles of aria contract -The tricuspid and biscuspid valves are forced open to allow blood to flow from the atria into the ventricles -0,1 sec 2)ventricular systole -muscles of ventricles contract - both tricuspid and bicuspid valves close (lub sound) -semi lunar valves of pulmonary artery and aorta open -deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle is forced up the pulmonary artery and moves to the lungs -oxygenated blood from the left ventricle is forced up the aorta and moves to all parts of the body -0,3 sec 3) Atrial and Ventricular Diastole -Muscles or the atria and Ventricles relax -Semi-lunar valves in aorta and pulmonary close to prevent any back flow of blood (the dub sound) -deoxygenated blood from the vena cavae fills the right atrium, oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins fills the left atrium -cycle starts again -0,4 sec
48
Name the phase that contracts
Atrial and Ventricular systole
49
Which phase relaxes
Atrial and ventricular diastole
50
What happens if the medulla oblongata fails to send an impulse to the heart
The muscles of the heart will not contract and the heary will not beat
51
What causes the heart rate to increase
More oxygen can get the body cells, and more carbon dioxide can be removed from the blood. A high carbon level in arterial blood causes ad increase in heart rate
52
Show a sequence lf the process
1)Carbon dioxide concentration is high in blood leaving the heart via systemic circuit - 2) Carbon dioxide sensor cells (chemoreceptors ) in carotid arteries send impulses to medulla oblongata - 3) medulla oblongata sends impulse to the pacemaker of the heart to increase the heart beat - 4) more blood flows to the lungs and more carbon dioxide is expelled - 5) carbon dioxide levels in arterial blood drop to normal and the heart beat returns to normal
53
Define chemoreceptors
Chemoreceptors are carbon dioxide sensor cells in carotid arteries
54
Why does the medulla oblongata send an impulse to the pace maker
It makes the heart beat either faster or slower
55
Define pulse
Whenever the heart beats and blood moves through the arteries, easily detected whenever an artery passes close to the skin. A healthy fit person's pulse rate is 72 beats per minute. Pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats ler minute is regarded as normal. Females have faster rates than males, athletes have slower heart rates
56
What measures blood pressure
A Sphygmomanometer
57
Define systolic pressure
When the heart is pumping, it is high at 120 mm Hg
58
Define diastolic pressure
Normal pressure when the heart is at rest and it is at 80mm Hg, blood is not under pressure of the contraction of the heart muscle
59
When is blood pressure normal
A reading between 120mm Hg over 80 mm Hg
60
Name the 3 different types of blood vessels
Arteries, capillaries, veins
61
Define lumen
Space
62
Draw and explain Arteries
-thick outer walls -thick layer of muscles and elastic fibres -small lumen -no valves present -(function) - arteries carry blood away from the heart -withstand high presure created by the heart
63
Draw and explain capillaries
-they have very thin walls made up of one layer of endothelial tissues only -(funtion)- connect arteries to veins -allow substances to easilly enter and leave the blood by diffusion because of thin walls (squamous epithelium)
64
Draw and explain veins
-thin outer layer -thin layer of muscles and elastic fibres -large lumen -valves present -(function)- carry blood back to your heart -valves in vein preven backflow of blood
