The advantage of having a heart with two atria is that a) oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are separatedb) blood is pumped directly from heart to tissuesc) blood can be slowed down before going to tissuesd) the body can support a higher blood pressuree) there are two muscular regions for pumping
Which of the following statements about vertebrate circulatory systems is not true? A. In mammals, the blood pressure in the aorta is higher than the pressure in the pulmonary artery. B. In fishes, oxygenated blood from the gills returns directly to the heart through the left atrium. C. In birds, deoxygenated blood leaves the heart through the pulmonary artery. D. In reptiles, the blood in the pulmonary artery has a lower oxygen content than the blood in the aorta. E. In amphibians, deoxygenated blood enters the heart through the right atrium.
The human circulatory system isclosed—that is, the blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heartinto the arteries is constrained to a series of continuous, branching vesselsas it passes through the capillaries and then into the veins as it returnsto the heart. The blood in each of the heart’s four chambers comesbriefly to rest before it is ejected by contraction of the heart muscle. The velocity of blood in the aorta can be measured directly with ultrasound techniques. A typical graph of blood velocity versus time during a single heartbeat is shown in Fig. . Which statement is the best interpretation of this graph? (a) The blood flow changes direction at about 0.25 s; (b) the speed of the blood flow begins to decrease at about 0.10 s; (c) the acceleration of the blood is greatest in magnitude at about 0.25 s; (d) the acceleration of the blood is greatest in magnitude at about 0.10 s.
Animals with open circulatory systems utilize a fluid called_______ that serves the function of both blood and_______ fluid. This fluid is passed among chambers in the body that are collectively calledthe_________ .
