Many objects designed by engineers have “circulatory systems” of one type or another. Describe at least three or four examples. Why do engineers sometimes include systems of flowing fluids in objects they design? We often hear it said that animal systems can teach us how to design engineered systems. If you were a biologist teaching a group of engineers about the lessons of animal circulatory systems, what principles would you emphasize?
The difference between the amphibian and mammal hearts is thata. in the amphibian heart, oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix completely in the single ventricle.b. in the amphibian heart, there are two SA nodes so that contractions occur simultaneously throughout the heart.c. in the ventricle in the amphibian heart, internal channels reduce mixing of blood.d. in the amphibian heart, only the left aorta pumps oxygen obtained by diffusion through the skin
