closed circulatory systems : single or double

Cards (19)

  • what are the two types of closed circulation systems
    single or double
  • what is meant by a single circulation system
    blood flows though a 2 chambered heart once per complete circuit of the body
  • how many chambers are in the heart of a animal with a single circualtion system

    2
  • what is meant by a double circulation system
    blood flows through a 4 chambered heart twice per complete circuit of the body
  • how many chambers are in the heart of a animal with a double circualtion system
    4
  • define pulmonary circulation
    blood circulation from the heart to the lungs and back
  • define systemic circulation
    blood circulation from the heart to the rest of the body and back
  • what type of heart does a insect have

    dorsal tube-shaped
  • what type of heart does a earthworm have

    pseudoheart
  • how many pseudohearts are tehre in a earthworm
    5
  • what type of heart does a fish have

    2 chambered
  • Do fish have a single or double circulatory system?

    single
  • what type of heart does a mammal have

    4 chambered
  • what are the advantages of double circualtion
    maintains a high blood pressure ,allows for a lowere pressure, rapuid circualtion and oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are kept sepparate
  • in the systemic circualtion will the blood be at a high or low pressure

    high
  • in pulmoary circulation will the blood be ata high or low pressure
    low
  • what is the advantage of low pressure blood being maintained in thepulmonary circualtion

    prevents the build up of tissue in the lungs
  • what is the advantage of high pressure blood being maintained in the systemic circualtion
    this ensures oxygen is delivered to the respiring cells
  • what is the advantage of the two types of blood being kept separate to each other
    it will maintain a steep concentration gradient for oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs
