week 11, apr 25th - 29th Flashcards
Describe flow chart of circulatory system of birds and mammals
All organs except lungs Oxygen poor blood returning to heart via two vena cava Two vena cava Right atrium Right ventricle Pulmonary trunk Pulmonary arteries Lungs Oxygen rich blood Left atrium Left ventricle Aorta (Back to top)
Name species in class mammalia
Bat
Whale
Human
Name two common features of class mammalia
Hair
Production of milk to feed young
Name and explain the three groups of mammals
Monotremes = produce amniotic egg (eggshell) Marsupials = have neonates that climb to the pouch to fuse mouth to nipple Placental = embryo implants and the placenta develops to feed the fetus via an umbilical cord
Name parts of mammal circulatory system
AV valves Semilunar valves Arteries Arterioles Capillaries Veins
Describe basic flow chart of mammal circulatory system
Heart Arteries Arterioles Capillaries in organs Venules Veins (Back to top)
What are arteries and arterioles (mammal circulatory system)
Arteries = always transport blood away from heart, most transport oxygen rich blood Arterioles = control the amount of blood going into an organ
Do all arteries transport oxygen rich blood (mammal circulatory system)
NO
All do except pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries
What do AV and semilunar valves do (mammal circulatory system)
AV valves prevent back flow into both atria
Semilunar valves prevent back flow into both ventricles
What do capillaries and veins do (mammal circulatory system)
Capillaries = smallest vessel forming a capillary bed in an organ, donate oxygen, nutrients (glucose and amino acids) to cells of organs, reabsorbs carbon dioxide and other waste Veins = blood reservoir, most of blood is in veins, hage valves to help blood returning to heart
Name composition of blood of mammals
Cells mostly erythrocytes
Leucocytes
Thrombocytes
Plasma
What are erythrocytes
Red blood cells
Have hemoglobins to transport oxygen
What are leucocytes
White blood cells
Nucleated
For immune system (phagocytes and make antibodies)
What are thrombocytes
Platelets
Blood clotting
What is plasma
Liquid portion of blood Mostly water Proteins (antibodies and clotting) Electrolytes Buffer
