Circulatory System * Shark * How would you describe the structure and function of this animal’s circulatory system? Include any unique characteristics. A shark’s heart is a two-chambered S-shaped tube, small in proportion to body size located in the head region. * How does this animal’s circulatory system work? The blood is pumped by the heart through the afferent bronchial arteries to capillaries in the gills, where the blood is oxygenated). The blood
Common Characteristics of Cardiac Arrhythmias Under normal, healthy conditions the human heart beats 60 to 100 times a minute. In the course of a day, the heart pumps an equivalent of 2,000 gallons of blood, carrying essential oxygen and other nutrients to all of the body's cells. Ultimately, the brain coordinates this complex process, but the heart also has its own semi-independent power station. Most of this electrical activity is carried out by pacemaker cells located in the upper right-hand
Anatomy and Physiology The aortic valve is one of four valves present in the human heart and is responsible for ensuring the unidirectional flow of the blood through the chambers and by closing after each systole prevents the blood from flowing back into the ventricle. 15 The surrounding blood applies inertial forces on the valve leaflets creating a pressure gradient responsible for opening and closing the valve. Unlike other tissues in the body the aortic valve is under sizeable forces resulting
Student Name: Name of Group Members: Date: Introduction: In this lab, you will be examining many characteristics of a rat’s anatomy. Dissections help researchers get a 3-dimensional picture of how the systems of a body work together. Now you’ll have the opportunity to see how the respiratory, digestive and circulatory system are arranged spatially. The Classification of the Rat (Rattus norvegicus): Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia
consists of three chambers, the left and right atrium, and a ventricle. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body, and the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and skin. Both atria then go through a ventricle that does not allow the blood to mix. After the ventricle arranges the blood through capillaries, the separated blood goes to its location, either through pulmonary, carotid, or systemic arteries. In a human there are four chambers of the heart. Instead of one
rounded to the nearest ones. Standard deviation were figured to the nearest hundredth. Table 1 is displayed for males and females were displayed on Table 2. Chart 1 is for descriptive characteristics data. The following steps were instructed to the individuals to measure their descriptive characteristics and their heart rate and blood pressure. Standard Height Individuals were instructed on how to properly use the stadiometer and the proper steps used to calculate an accurate height. They were instructed
In the world, more than two thirds of adults, about 68.8%, are considered to be obese (NIH, 2012). The consumption of westernized diets is something that is consuming the world itself. Throughout recent history the consumption food has become more and more of a dangerous act. The westernized diet often contains too many calories, sugars, and fats that people are ingesting daily. How is the constant consumption of this diet effecting everyday life? What are the changes internally that are causing

vertebrate that has similar internal organ systems of a human. Additionally to be able to identify where organs of the digestion, circulatory, and respiratory systems are located in a rat and their function according to the rat’s anatomy. One is able to use rats as a specimen to study human anatomy, as the organs found in a rat such as the heart, lungs, and the stomach, are also found in the human body. Furthermore, it has been proved that humans has approximately 99% of the same DNA as rodents especially
called our heart. The heart is made up of different structures and actions in order for it to work, combined with a network of blood vessels form what we know as the cardiovascular system. The heart size varies with body size pumping blood to
