PPT-based Flashcards
The functions of the circulatory system
carry out nutrients and oxygen to cells
carry waste away from cells
carry chemical signals from one body
part to another
distribute heat throughout the body
maintain fluid levels
Who are those that do not need a circulatory system?
unicellular organisms (ex. amoeba)
A simple aquatic multicellular organism that lacks a circulatory system.
sponge
Who are those that require a circulatory system?
Complex Multicellular Organisms
What are the two types of circulatory systems?
open and close
blood is pumped by the heart through vessels, and does not normally fill body cavities
close circulatory system
What organisms have close circulatory systems?
echinoderms and vertebrates
In the open circulatory system, what fluid is pumped through a blood vessel that empties through a body cavity, and what blood vessel does it return to?
hemolymph; ostia
What organisms have open circulatory systems?
mollusks
crustaceans
insects
What does the Blood circulation
by Cardiovascular System comprised of?
heart
blood vessels
blood
What does the Lymph circulation
by Lymphatic System comprised of?
lymphatic vessels
lymph
nodes
the central organ of the cardiovascular
system
heart
What are the pericardial membranes and layers of the heart wall?
- endocardium
- myocardium
- epicardium
- pericardial layer
- parietal layer of serous pericardium
- fibrous pericardium
What are the blood vessel layers?
- tunica externa
- tunica media
- tunica intima
- basement membrane
carry blood from the heart to capillaries
arteries
What are the types of blood vessels?
- arteries
- veins
- capilliaries
What are the types of arteries?
elastic arteries
muscular arteries
largest arteries closest to heart; thick layers of elastic fibers
elastic arteries
Examples of elastic arteries
aorta and pulmonary arteries
The walls of these arteries have lots of smooth muscle, which means that they are able to contract or relax (dilate) to change the amount of blood delivered, as needed.
muscular arteries
Examples of muscular arteries
- Femoral
- Radial
- Brachial arteries
