challenges of taking up oxygen, and its solution
delivering o2 to the cells are too slow
cells are in direct contact with environment
evolve a circulatory system to deliver o2
limitations of not having respiratory organs or a circulatory system
low metabolic rate, small (large sa:v)
what are the functions of a circulatory system?
deliver o2 to cells/organs
remove co2
transport heat
enable movement
what does a circulatory system need
circulatory fluid
interconnecting tubes
pump- contractile mechanism
two main types of circulatory system
open, closed
open circulatory systems
consosts of a heart with vessels which are open
movement assists with the flow
flow into spaces between sinuses and lacunae tissues
what is circulatory fluid called
haemolymph
what happens when the heart contracts
haemolymph is driven into the arteries and out into the sinnuses and lacunae
ostia (openings) close
during relaxation ligaments explans and the heart returns to original volume
ostia open bringing in haemolymph from the pericardial sinus
advantages of open circulatory system
lower hydrostatic pressure, reduced energy costs
closed circulatory systems
circulatory fluid is contained within a network of vessels
heart/s contract and blood is driven into large vessels then smaller vessels, passing throught tissues and organs
advantages of closed circulatory systems
increase hydrostatic pressure
regulate distribution of blood
octopus and squid
3 hears, systemic heart and two smaller branchial hearts
allows for re pressurisation of blood prior to entering the gills and allows for fast blood flow rates
