whats on the left side of human heart
Left atrium
Left ventricle
Bicuspid valve between atrium and ventricle
Pulmonary vein
Aorta
What do atrioventricular valves prevent
prevent backflow from ventricles to atria
What do semi lunar valves prevent-
prevent back flow from arteries to ventricles
Why is the rise and fall of blood pressure in the aorta greater than in the small arteries
Aorta is directly attached to the heart via left ventricle which creates highest pressure
They have elastic tissue which can stretch and recoil
whats on right side of human heart
Right atrium
Right ventricle
Vena cava (inferior and superior)
Tricuspid valve between
what is septum
What is septum- separates left and right sides of the heart. Separates oxygenated/ deoxygenated. maintaining concentration gradient
What blood vessel controls blood flow to the muscles + how it changes blood flow
arterioles
use muscles to contract or relax to change diameter
Pressure changes in the heart graph 3 lines
Aorta - line always stays at high pressure
atrium - lowest line
ventricle - highest peak pressure
Pressure changes in heart 1st stage
Pressure higher in atrium than ventricle so blood flows to the ventricle, AV valve close
NAME= atrial systole, atria contract, ventricles relax
Pressure change graph 2nd stage
Ventricle pressure steeply increases to be a lot higher than atria. So AV valve closes to prevent backflow as ventricles have higher pressure
Aorta pressure still higher than ventricle so semi lunar valve open so blood can leave
The ventricular systole and atria relax.
Pressure change graph 3rd stage
Ventricle pressure higher than aorta, semi lunar valve close
Info about 4 intersection on pressure graph:
Ventricular systole. Ventricle pressure greater due to contraction than atria so AV valves close to prevent backflow
Ventricular pressure is higher than aorta pressure so semi lunar valve open so blood can leave
Ventricular pressure decreases- diastole. Aorta pressure is higher than ventricle so sem lunar valves close to prevent backflow
Atria pressure higher than ventricular valves so av valves open so blood can flow to ventricles
When do valves open and close
Open when pressure is higher BEHIND
Close when pressure is higher in FRONT
Arterioles-
connected to capillaries
Smooth muscle can relax so increased blood flow to capillaries
Where are semilunar valves located
d- in aorta + pulmonary artery
Where are atrioventricular valves
Between atria and ventricles
Triscupid valve- right side (3 flaps)
Bicuspid- left
What are tendinous cords-
attach valves to ventricle walls to valves don’t turn inside out
Why do multicellular organism need a transport system:
SA:V decreases as organism gets bigger
Distance too big to meet needs
High metabolic demands
Shortens diffusion distance
Which side of heart pumps blood to whole body
Left side= oxygenerated
Meaning of closed system-
blood always remains in blood vessels
Open circulatory system-
heart pumps fluid called haemolymph through short vessels and into a cavity (haemocel) which surrounds the organs. In the haemocoel, the fluid covers organs enabling diffusion.
When heart relaxes, blood is sucked back via ostia (pores)
Closed circulatory system-
blood is always enclosed within vessels. From the heart, blood is pumped through progressively smaller vessels to generate high blood pressure. In smallest vessels (capillaries) substances diffuse in and out of the blood and into cells. Blood returns to heart via progressively larger vessels.
Advantages of double circulatory system-
different blood do not mix
Manage pressure of blood flow- oxygenated blood from lungs is delivered quickly at high pressure so it reaches all cells. Blood through lungs is lower pressure to prevent damaging capillaries in alveoli, slower so more time for gas exchange
Single circulatory system definition-
blood goes to the heart once for each full circuit
