diffusion is rapid only over small distances
two solutions to this?
thin surfaces decrease diffusion distance
circulatory system to move substances
Cnidarians, which include the hydras and jellyfish, do not have a distinct circulatory system. How have they solved the problem of exchange?
Thin body wall allow oxy to diffuse in and co2 out easily
gastrovascular cavity extends through body, nutrient are close to cells
Flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) such as planaria have a slightly different solution to this diffusion problem. What is it?
dorsoventrally flattened body allows nutrient from outside to diffuse in easily
Why do large animals need a circulatory system instead of relying on diffusion alone?
cells are too far from outside environment=diffusion slow over long distances
What is the main function of the circulatory system in animals?
move nutrients quickly between exchange organs
Contrast open circulatory systems with closed circulatory systems.
open=fluid is hemolymph, pumped by heart into body spaces that directly surround organ
closed=fluid is blood, contained in vessels, exchange through capillary walls
closed circulatory system benefit
higher bp (efficiency)

#6

What are the four chambers of the heart
right atrium
right ventricle
left atrium
left ventricle
What is the function of the atria? + left and right
receive blood returning to heart
right takes oxy poor from body
left takes oxy rich from lung
What is the function of the ventricles? + left and right
ventricle pump blood out heart
right pumps oxy poor blood to lungs
left pumps oxy rich to body
Which side of the heart sends blood to the lungs?
right
Which chamber pumps blood to the body?
left ventricle
Which vessel carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs?
pulmonary artery
Which vessel carries oxygen-rich blood to the body?
aorta

what dis
fish
two chambered heart with single circulation
blood flows from heart gills body heart
top is gills, oxy poor area where exchange makes oxy rich
bottom is body

what dis
amphibian
3 chambered heart with double circulation
-pulmocutaneous circuit goes heart lung/skin heart (exchange by lung/skin)
-systemic heart body heart

what dis
reptile
3 chambered heart (crocs have 4)
double circulation
-pulmonary circuit
-systemic circuit

what is the difference between mammal and reptile in this picture
reptile has 3 chambers with 1 ventricle partially divided
Why is a four-chambered heart a key adaptation required for endothermy?
keeps oxy rich and poor separate, allowing delivery of oxy rich to tissue at high pressure
Explain why the four-chambered hearts of birds and mammals are considered an example of
convergent evolution
both groups needed to separate oxy rich and oxy poor to support high metabolic rates
cardiac cycle meaning
one complete heartbeat where heart fills with blood, then pumps blood out
systole explained
contraction phase where heart squeezes and pumps blood out
diastole explained
relaxation phase where heart relaxes and the chambers fill with blood
cardiac output explained
amount of blood the heart pumps per minute
(hr * stroke volume)
heart electrical system explained
specialized cell in wall of right atrium called sa node sets heart rhythms through electrical signals

what this (no func needed)
sa node

what this (no func needed)
av node
What is the function of the sinoatrial (SA) node?
create electrical signal that causes atria to contract and pus blood intro ventricles
Why is the SA node called the pacemaker of the heart?
sets rhythm of heartbeat
What is the function of the atrioventricular (AV) node
delay signal from sa node to allow blood movement from atria to ventricle
send contraction signal to ventricle
Why is there a delay at the AV node important?
ensures ventricles have enough time to fill with blood before contractions
Electrical impulses from the SA node cause the atria to contract and are conducted to a relay
station, the atrioventricular (AV) node. When an impulse is generated by the AV node, what contracts?
ventricles

What does the P wave represent in an ECG?
atrial depolarization

What happens in the heart during the QRS complex?
ventricular depolarization, electrical signal spreads through ventricles causing contraction

What happens during the T wave?
ventricular repolarization, reset of ventricles causing relaxation

Which part of the ECG shows ventricular contraction?
qrs complex, shows electrical signal that causes ventricular contraction
What is the main function of arteries? + 1 exception
carry blood away from heart mainly oxy rich
pulmonary artery is an exception that carries oxy poor from right ventricle to lung
What is the main function of veins? + 1 exception
carry blood back to heart, mainly oxy poor
pulmonary vein carry oxy rich from lung to left atrium
Why do veins have valves?
prevent backflow ensuring one direction
What is the function of capillaries?
exchange of oxy nutrients co2 and waste
Which blood vessels have the thinnest walls
capillaries
What factors help blood flow in veins against gravity?
valves
skeletal muscle contraction
breathing
How do skeletal muscles help blood return to the heart
squeeze veins, pushing blood back to heart
What is the role of blood pressure in arteries vs veins?
arteries high bp to receive blood directly from heart and push to body
vein low bp as already passed through capillaries,
What are precapillary sphincters
tiny rings of smooth muscle at entrance of capillary beds controlling whether blood flow into capillary bed or bypasses
what are capillary beds
network of tiny capillaries where exchange happens between blood and tissue
how do precapillary sphincters control blood flow?
