Single And Double Circulation Flashcards
What has a single circulatory system?
Fish
What has a double circulatory system?
Mammals
What is the order of circulation in fish?
Heart > Gills > Tissues > Heart
How many pumps are there are in single circulatory systems?
1 pump
What are the characteristics of single circulation?
Blood loses pressure quickly
Less complex
Can only support animals with a lower demand for oxygen
What type of circulation do cold blooded animals have?
Single circulation
How many pumps are there a double circulation system?
2 pumps
What are the circulation names in a double circulatory system?
Pulmonary circulation
Systemic circulation
What is the role of the second pump in double circulatory systems?
Re-pressusize blood before going to whole body after lungs
What is Pulmonary circulation?
Blood pumped to lungs to receive oxygen
What is Systematic circulation?
Blood carrying oxygen and nutrients pumped to body and tissues
What are the advantages of double circulation?
Blood flows quicker to tissue as has higher pressure.
What has a higher block pressure? Pulmonary circulation or systematic circulation?
Systematic circulation has higher blood pressure
Why does the pulmonary circulation have a lower blood pressure than systematic?
Capillaries in lungs could be damaged if pressure was too high
Not pumped as far by the heart
What type of circulation do insects have?
Open circulatory system
