Document Summary

Blood flow transports gases, hormones, fuels and waste back and forth. Need very thin surfaces to drive diffusion. Only mammals have enucleated blood cells birds, fish, us. Some kind of pump (heart) and a bunch of tubes that move blood and other fluid around the circulatory system. All vertebrates have closed circulatory system blood never leaves veins/arteries/capillaries (unless injury: returns from body to pumping structure. Mammalian avian - 4 chambered heart: right and left atrium. Left side of body pumps oxygenated blood (red) Birds and mammals have higher blood pressure than turtles etc. Two types of pressure: systolic pressure in major arteries when heart contracts, diastolic pressure in major arteries when hearts relax. Cardiac output amount of blood being pumped/unit of time: heart rate x slope volume (amount of blood pumper per contraction, birds and mammals have higher cardiac output. Mammals and birds have coronary blood flow (arteries and veins) that leave heart.
