Chapter 22: Circulation Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-1 Circulatory systems • Circulatory systems have a variety of functions – transport gases, nutrients, wastes, hormones and other substances in the body – redistribute heat in the body – immune response • Circulatory systems may be – open circulated fluid is indistinguishable from interstitial fluid – closed circulated fluid is separated from interstitial fluid Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-2 Open and closed systems • Open systems occur in invertebrates such as crustaceans (crabs, prawns) and most molluscs (snails, oysters) – blood or haemolymph passes from heart through vessels that open into interstitial spaces between cells – drains into sinuses and moves back to heart • Closed systems occur in vertebrates, cephalopod molluscs (squid, octopus) and annelid worms – blood or haemolymph passes through body in a system of vessels in a defined circuit Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-3 Vertebrate circulatory system • • Pattern of evolution of circulatory systems in vertebrates Reduction in number of major arteries – loss of arteries associated with gills in terrestrial vertebrates • Change in pattern of blood flow through heart – single circuit in fish – double circuit in vertebrates with lungs Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd

Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-9 Fish • Heart with four chambers in line blood from body sinus venosus atrium ventricle conus arteriosus gills body • • Blood passes through the heart once in each circuit Blood pressure is highest in the gills Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-10 Amphibians • Heart with two atria and one ventricle – ventricle receives oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from left and right atria respectively – mixing minimised by folds of tissue in ventricle and conus arteriosus • Blood passes through the heart twice in each circuit – pulmonary (lung) circuit includes skin, which is also used as a respiratory surface – systemic circuit passes through rest of body Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-11 Reptiles • In most reptiles, the heart has two atria and one ventricle – ventricle partly divided into three chambers by folds of tissue – during systole (contraction) folds press against ventricle wall, preventing cross-flow • Crocodiles have completely divided ventricles – left and right aorta arise from different chambers, potentially allowing deoxygenated blood to recirculate – valves between the two arteries operate under certain conditions Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-12 Birds and mammals • Heart with four chambers • Complete separation of pulmonary and systemic circulations – blood passes through heart twice in one circuit through the body – oxygenated blood from lungs and deoxygenated blood do not mix in heart or blood vessels • Coronary circulation supplies heart with blood Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-13 Pulmonary circuit • Deoxygenated blood enters right atrium and passes into right ventricle – tricuspid valve prevents backflow • From right ventricle, blood enters pulmonary artery – semilunar valve prevents backflow • • Blood is oxygenated in capillaries of lung alveoli Oxygenated blood returns to heart (left atrium) via pulmonary vein Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-14 Systemic circuit • Oxygenated blood enters left atrium and passes into left ventricle – mitral valve prevents backflow • From left ventricle, blood enters aorta – aortic semilunar valve prevents backflow • • Blood is deoxygenated in capillary beds of body Deoxygenated blood returns to heart (right atrium) via vena cavae Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-15 Fig. 22.9a: Circulation through mammal heart during ventricular diastole Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-16 Fig. 22.9b: Circulation through mammal heart during ventricular systole Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-17 Electrical activity • Vertebrate heartbeat is myogenic – originates in heart muscle • Muscle fibres contract independently – must be coordinated to provide a functional heartbeat • Heartbeat cycle initiated by sinoatrial node (pacemaker) – non-contractile cells with rhythmic electrical activity (cont.)

Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-28 Cardiovascular regulation (cont.) • Vasomotor and cardiac centres in the brain stem integrate information from baroreceptors – changes contraction of smooth muscle of arteriole walls – changes rate and force of heart beat • Respiratory and cardiovascular centres in the brain stem integrate information from chemoreceptors – changes in pattern of respiration (cont.) Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-29 Cardiovascular regulation (cont.) • Hormones also affect blood flow • Adrenaline – produced by adrenal glands – increases heart beat, constricts arterioles • Vasopressin – produced by anterior pituitary gland – causes vasoconstriction • Angiotensin – produced in blood in response to kidney hormone renin – causes vasoconstriction Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-30 Regulation of blood flow • • Precapillary sphincters regulate blood flow through capillaries Tone (degree of contraction) is controlled intrinsically (autoregulation) or extrinsically – intrinsic regulation stretched walls of capillary change in metabolite concentrations change in concentrations of other vasoactive substances – extrinsic control nerves hormones Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-31 Blood • Functions of blood – transports respiratory gases, nutrients, hormones, waste products – immunity – water balance – temperature regulation • Blood consists of plasma and cellular material (cells and fragments of cells) (cont.) Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-32 Blood (cont.) • Plasma – 55 to 60 per cent of blood volume – fluid containing albumins, globulins and other proteins • Cells – – – – 40 to 45 per cent of blood volume (haematocrit) erythrocytes (red blood cells) leucocytes (white blood cells) thrombocytes (platelets) Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-33 Erythrocytes • • Red blood cells are biconcave discs, 7 to 8 μm in diameter (in humans) Respiratory pigment haemoglobin carries O2 – O2-carrying capacity of blood depends on type of animal • Formation of erythrocytes in bone marrow is regulated by kidney hormone erythropoietin • Old cells broken down in liver, spleen and bone marrow – amino acids and iron recycled Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-34 Blood clotting • • Blood exposed to air rapidly forms a clot (thrombus) When blood is exposed, thrombin converts fibrinogen (soluble) to strands of fibrin (insoluble) – network of fibrin traps erythrocytes and platelets • Platelets are also affected by thrombin – become sticky – release ADP to promote linking with fibrinogen – form processes that mesh with other platelets Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint 22-35
