Chapter 44, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The benefits of the adaptation of having a heart with four chambers in birds and mammals.
Introduction: In vertebrates, the circulatory systems of the animals have been modified with evolution, so that animals can adapt to their lifestyle. Some vertebrates have a single circuit for circulation, and some have the double circuit for the blood flow. The heart of the birds and mammals is evolved into four chambers, which is a beneficial adaptation to their life.

CIRCULATORY AND NERVOUS SYSTEMS OF THE CAT
1. What are the differences between arteries, veins, and capillaries? What makes pulmonary circulation different from systemic circulation? What is a portal system?
2. Trace the flow of blood in the cat’s heart, including closely associated blood vessels. Please illustrate and label the blood vessels and sections of the heart.
4. What are the different types of blood vessels and how do they differ in their structure and function?
5. What are the component differences of blood, interstitial fluid and lymph? How are the three fluids connected?
6. Examine the illustration below and use your text to identify all the numbered structures as well as the lettered
valves. Also describe the directional flow of blood through the heart.
cross section of mammalian heart.
5.According to Steven et al., (2006), hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a medical terminology used to describe a spectrum of congenital heart malfomation exhbiting an array of underdeveloped structures in the left side of the heart. How does this affect the anatomical and physiological function of the left side of the heart?
Read and analyze the question and choices CAREFULLY; more importantly, ALWAYS CHOOSE the BEST answer.
The heart will have a difficulty in pumping oxygenated blood to all parts of the body
The heart is bound to enlarge by loosening its myocardium after a few years.
The heart will not be able to absorb oxygen from the lungs.
The heart will exert too much pressure to deliver oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.

- Keeping the mammalian cardiac cycle balanced is/are: a. an AV node between the right atria atrium and right ventricle, which induces a wave of contraction. b. pacemaker cells, which compose the AV node and signal theSA node. c. an insulating layer that isolates the SA node from the rightatrium. d. ion channels in pacemaker cells, which close to depolarizetheir plasma membranes. e. neurogenic stimuli from the nervous system.arrow_forward1 point Which of the following best describes diastole? The atria contract which force the atrioventricular valves to close The ventricles contract forcing blood to leave the heart and the atrioventricular valves close The ventricles relax and re-fill with blood and the atrioventricular valves open Both atria and ventricles contract at the same time and all valves are open What is NOT the function of hemoglobin in red blood cells? O Delivers CO2 from the body cells Binds and delivers 02 to body cells Involved in blood clotting Involved in fighting off bacteria and viruses The system of blood vessels that carry blood between the lungs and the heart is called the: Systemic circuit Circulatory circuit Pulmonary circuit vascular circuit Why does blood turn dark red as it circulates through the body?
