Q

arteries

A

blood away from heart to tissues
more pressure
co2, increase acts as a signal to the smooth muscle to relax, allowing arterioles to increase in diameter
So blood flow increases to the capillaries to match O2
Artery walls expand momentarily from heartbeat pressure because of collagen and elastin

Q

fish CS

A

two chambered hearts
single circulatory system
atrium and ventricle
Deoxygenated blood from fish tissues enters atrium, which fills and contract to move blood into a thicker walled ventricle
Oxygenated blood collected from the gills travels to the tissues through aorta
The small gill capillaries impose a large resistance to flow. As a result, much of the blood pressure is lost in moving blood through the gills. This loss of pressure limits the flow of oxygenated blood to body tissues.

Q

amphibians CS

A

three chambered hearts
partially divided circulations
two atria and single ventricle
Single ventricle so oxygenated blood returning to the heart from the gills or lungs mixes with deoxygenated blood returning from the animals body before being pumped from the ventricle

23
Q

systole

A

contraction of ventricles

ventricles contract, pumping blood out of the heart

24
Q

cardiac muscle cells

A

found in sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes

25
Q

Cardiac output

A

volume of blood pumped by the heart over a given interval of time
HR x stroke volume

26
Q

stroke volume

A

volume of blood pumped during each beat

27
Q

Starling’s law

A

relationship between the volume of blood filling the heart and stroke volume
a greater volume of blood returned to the heart increases stretching of the muscles
leads to more forceful ejection of blood and a greater stroke volume

28
Q

Ganglia

A

groups of nerve cell bodies that process sensory information received from a local resulting in a signal to motor neurons that control some physiological function of the animal

29
Q

sponges NS

A

Have none

30
Q

cephalisation advantages

A

forward locomotion, nearness of sensory organs to central ganglia/brain makes it possible to process this information quickly; easier to detect and capture prey

31
Q

hydrostatic skeleton length and diameter

A

Circular muscle reduce diameter of body cavity and longitudinal muscles reduce its length

32
Q

In addition to tendon, three main extracellular tissues are produced in the formation of the vertebrate skeleton:

A

bone
tooth enamel
cartilage

33
Q

osteoblasts

A

synthesise and secrete calcium phosphate as hydroxyapatite mineral crystals in close association with the protein collagen

34
Q

articular cartilage

A

located at the joint surfaces of a bone forms a cushion between bones meeting at a joint

35
Q

gills

A

Large aquatic animals
Some sessile invertebrates have external gills but they are easily damaged and eaten by predators
Actively pump water through mouth over gills to ventilate

36
Q

concurrent flow

A

when hot and cold water move in same direction, both become warm

37
Q

countercurrent flow

A

when hot water and cold water move in opposite directions, hot becomes cold and cold becomes hot

38
Q

trachea- insects

A

They rely on a two step process of ventilation and diffusion to supply cells with oxygen and eliminate CO2 unlike in terrestrial vertebrates
Enters through spiracle openings along abdomen; ventilated through trachea; direct to cells; co2 diffuses out our cells and eliminated through trachea

39
Q

characteristics of air allowing tidal ventilation

A

low density and viscosity

40
Q

tidal volume of lungs

A

at rest, inhale and exhale about 0.5 L of air every cycle

41
Q

gas exchange in birds

A

In birds, air is taken in through mouth, then nasal passages through larynx, then trachea, primary bronchi
To exhale, posterior sacs expands and air taken to mouth
Air capillaries direct the air so that it moves crosscurrent to the blood flow- so more oxygen extracted from air than in mammals
After gaining co2, air from lungs enters anterior air sacs and posterior air sac again inflated by fresh air

42
Q

reptile CS

A

three chambered heart
two atria and single ventricle
their single ventricle has internal ridges to improve the separation of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood
so reptiles more able to deliver oxygen to tissues than amphibians

43
Q

Amphibian CS process

A

deoxygenated blood from the tissues enters the right atrium from a major vein and is pumped into the single common ventricle
oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium and is pumped into the ventricle
mixed oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is pumped out of the common ventricle into separate arteries leading to the lungs and tissues

44
Q

mammals and birds CS process

A

deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the inferior and superior venae cavae
deoxygenated blood passes through the right AV valve into right ventricle
deoxygenated blood is pumped into the pulmonary arteries through the pulmonary valve
to the lungs
MEANWHILE
Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium
Oxygenated blood enters the left ventricle through the left AV valve
Oxygenated blood is pumped by the left ventricle through the aortic valve into systemic circulation

45
Q

Walls of the right ventricle- birds and mammals

A

thinner than left with weaker contractions
blood at lower pressure
moves slower so more time for gases to diffuse in and out of lungs

46
Q

cardiac cycle

A

contraction of the two atria followed by contraction of the two ventricles; divided into 2 phases; Diastole- relaxation of ventricles; systole- contraction of ventricles

47
Q

atrial muscle cells

A

must contract in synchrony during diastole to fill ventricles

48
Q

ventricular muscle cells

A

must contract in synchrony during systole to eject blood from the heart

49
Q

pulmonary veins carry

A

oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium

50
Q

path of a drop of blood leaving the human heart

A

heart → arteries → arterioles → capillaries → venules → veins → heart

51
Q

The heartbeat originates in the

A

sinoatrial node located at the junction of the vena cava and the right atrium.

52
Q

Which of the following blood vessels play an important role in controlling blood flow to different regions of the body through the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles in their walls?

A

arterioles

53
Q

At any given point along the length of the gill lamella, how does the pO2 of the blood flowing through the blood vessels in the lamella compare to the pO2of the water flowing over the gill lamella?

A

The pO2 of the blood is lower than the pO2 of the water.

54
Q

At the venous end of a capillary, the blood pressure is _____ the osmotic pressure and fluid _____ the blood vessel.

A

lower than; moves into

55
Q

Atrioventricular valves separate

A

the left atrium from the left ventricle and the right atrium from the right ventricle.
