what is the cardiovascular system organised into
heart 2-4 chambered
arteries take blood from the heart to organs
arterioles within organs pass blood into the capillaries
capillaries are where gaseous exchange occurs
capillaries turn into venules, which carry blood into the veins, which carry blood into the heart
atria
receive the blood
vesntricles
muscular pumping force
single circulatory system
blood passes through the ehart once
sinus venosus
collects the blood prior to it entering the atrium
conus arteriosus
evens out blood pressure
double circulatory system
blood passes through the heart twice
pulmonary circuit
blood from the right
systemic circuit
blood from the left
the ability to re-pressurise blood twice allows for
rapidl delivery of blood flow to the organs, including brain and mucles
how many chambers do amphibians have
3, 2 atria, 1 ventricle
what does the ridge between the right and left ventricle do
reduces mixing
diverts oxygen poor blood from the right atrium into the polmocutaneous circuit
diverts oxygen rich blood into the systemic circuit
foramen of panizza
pulmonary and systemic circuits meet where the aorta leaves the heart
what does the foramen of Panizza allows
cardiac shunting- re-direct blood leaving the heart to reduce blood flow to lungs and allow that blood to go to other areas
mammal and bird heart
t chambered
no mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
required in organisms with a high metabolic rate (endotherms)
left is oxygenated, right is deoxygenated
the cardiac cycle
two distinct psysiological functinos
contraction- heart pumps with blood- systole
relaxation-chambers fill with blood-diastole
cardiac output= heart rate (bpm) X stroke volume (mL/beat)
cardiac output
