Chapter 36, Problem 3SQ
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: To sustain life, the blood must circulate all along the body. It transports oxygen and all other essential nutrients to different parts of the body. There are two major circulation pathways namely systemic and pulmonary circulation. In systemic pathway, oxygenated blood from lungs entering into the left atria is carried to the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, the oxygenated blood gets pumped into the aorta. Many arteries arising from the aortal vessel transport this oxygenated blood into different parts of the body. In pulmonary pathway, it starts from the collection of deoxygenated blood from different body parts by veins and pours it into the right atrium to filling oxygenated blood to the left atria.

b) what advantage a double circulatory system offer.
How do arteries differ from veins?a. Arteries have thicker wall layers to accommodate the changes in pressure from the heart.b. Arteries carry blood.c. Arteries have thinner wall layers and valves and move blood by the action of skeletal muscle.d. Arteries are thin walled and are used for gas exchange.

- In some reptiles, the two layers of dura mater fuse together in the brain. What is a likely consequence of this finding? Group of answer choices a. Because the two layers are fused, it will form a stronger blood-brain barrier. b. Arteries are not able to pass through the two layers, so they must be rerouted around the dura mater. c. With no space between layers, blood cannot be collected here for return to the venous system. d. There will be increased damage to the tissue compared to mammals because in mammals, serous fluid between the layers reduces friction.arrow_forwardHow can aquatic arthropods have larger bodies than their terrestrial counterparts?
