25
where are the fish gills
internalized in chamber adjoining the pharynx
26
what kind of fish have separate chambers for each gill
primitive fishes like hagfish and lampreys and condricthes
27
osteichthyes have a ____ to cover gills and make them more internalized
opperculum
28
what organ helps with osmoregulation and ion regulation in fishes
gills
29
what is buccal-operculum pumping
expand buccal-operculum cavity with operculum closed and mouth open (water flows in due to reduced pressure) then contract buccal operculum cavity with operculum valve open and mouth closed (forces water over gills and outside the body)
30
what kind of gas exchange dynamic do fish have
counter current dynamic
31
what is counter current exchange
water flows across gill epithelium from pharynx toward gill slit, blood flows through vessels in opposite direction
32
why is counter current gas exchnage good for fishes
blood hits increasing o2 levels keeping the blood very high in 02
33
what is internal transport in animals
cardiovascular systems of animals
34
why cant you call internal transport cardiovascular
because not all animals have blood vessels
35
what is the driving dynamic for internal transport
multicellularity, effecient transport, bulk flow dynamics
36
what are the components of internal transport system
hearts, vasculature, and blood
37
what is a heart
muscular pump generating pressure cycles with 2 major configurations
38
what are the two major configurations of a heart
chambered or tubular
39
what does it mean for a heart to be neurogenic
nerve cells trigger activation of the muscle
40
what heart type is usually associated with neurogenic
tubular heart
41
what is myogenic heart
special muscle tissue with pace maker function
42
what heart type is associated with myogenic
chambered hearts
43
what organisms usually have tubular hearts
arthropods
44
which heart type is best for active lifestyle
chambered (except in insects)
45
which heart type has a higher pressure and a higher flow rate
chambered hearts
46
what organisms have chambered hearts
vertebrates and cephalopods
47
what kind of contractions does a tubular heart have
peristaltic
48
what does it mean for vasculature to be open
very few vessels (more so extensions of the heart instead of strict vessels)
49
what does it mean for vasculature to be closed
can have some open cavities but have many blood vessels
50
where can you find an open cavity in the vasculature of vertebrates (closed)
in sinus of liver
51
what is the function of an artery
direct blood away from the heart
52
what are capillaries
uncountable microscopic vessels
53
how thick are capilaries
1 cell layer thickness
54
what is the function of capillaries
gas exchange occurs here since walls are thin enough
55
what is the function of veins
direct blood back to the heart
56
what is blood
moving fluid of plasma and formed elements
57
what is the historic name for blood
hemolymph
58
how much of blood is usually plasma
usually around 90%
59
what do atria recieve
they are recieving chambers for venous blood
60
the blood flow through body is focused about what
focused about gas exchange to support the aerobic needs of the organism
61
blood flows along ____
pressure gradient
62
when blood pressure levels increase the organism is in___
systole
63
when blood pressure levels decrease the organism is in ___
diastole

77
what helps to stabilize valves when open and closing in heart
the chordae tensonae
78
when heart is relaxed what state is it in
diastole
79
when heart is contracting what state is it in
systole
80
what is the basic 4 step heart cycle

shorten the length of A and V diastole in step 3
82
how many heart beats per minute is average for a mammal
70 beats per minute
83
how long is atrial systole
0.1s
84
how long is ventricular systole
0.2s
85
how long is diastole
0.5 seconds
86
how much thicker is the left ventricle from the right ventrical
left ventrical is 3x thicker than right
87
what is the main function of a valve in a heart
to keep blood flowing in the correct direction
88
what side is the tricuspid valve on
on the right
89
what side is the mitral(bicuspid) valve on
on the left
90
what happens when the heart gets too muscular
hypertrophy
91
action potential in hearts has what two major phases
depolarization and repolarization
92
what is depolarization
