How does a single circuit circulatory system work? Give an example of what species has one. It's a low pressure system in which the blood flows from the heart, to the respiratory system, to the body, and then back to the heart again. Sharks are an example.
How does a double circuit circulatory system work? Give an example of what species has one. A double circuit has two circuits: the low pressure one goes from the heart, to the respiratory system, and back to the heart. The high pressure circuit takes the oxygenated blood from the heart, to the body, and back to the heart. Mammals are an example.
Describe the difference between diapsids, synapsids and anapsids, with an example species for each. Anapsids have no extra openings on their skull, eg a turtle. Diapsids have two extra openings, eg a lizard. Synapsid's holes are fused into one, eg a mammal.
