1.Describe the general functions of a circulatory system.
to acquire nutrients
exchange gases
dispose of waste products
2.Compare the structures and functions of gastrovascular cavities, open circulatory systems, and
closed circulatory systems.
Gastrovascular cavity functions in digestion and distributes substances throughout the
body.
Open Circulatory systems- have a tubular heart, open-ended vessels, and blood that
directly bathes the cells and functions as the interstitial fluid
Closed Circulatory systems- consists of circulatory fluid, blood that is confined to
vessels, keeps blood distinct from the interstitial fluid
3.Compare the cardiovascular systems of a fish, an amphibian, a reptile, a bird, and a mammal.
Fish (2 chamber heart)
Has atrium which receives blood from veins
Has ventricle pumps blood to gills via large arteries
Uses single circulation
Amphibian (3 chambered heart)
Pulmonary circuit carries blood between the heart and gas exchange tissues in the
lungs
Systemic Circuit carries blood between the heart and the rest of the body
Uses double circulation
Reptile (3 chambered heart)
Bird (4 chambered heart)
Mammal (4 chambered heart)
4.Describe the pathway of blood through the mammalian cardiovascular system.
Blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior venae cavae, and the coronary sinus.
