Animal Physiology: Respiration and Circulation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gas movement | Respiration |
| For organisms that have a large proportion of surface area, ex. flatworms or cnidarians | Simple diffusion |
| Structures with large amounts of surface area that use countercurrent exchange | Gills |
| Movement of blood opposite of water flow to pick up maximum 02 and release the most CO2 ex. Mollusks and fish | Countercurrent exchange |
| A tube system connected to the surface by spiracles | Tracheae |
| Openings that deliver and remove gasses from tissues, ex. insects | Spiracles |
| Internal sacs with large surface area to aid in gas exchange, ex. mammals | Lungs |
| Flow of air | nose-pharynx-larynx-trachea(protected by epiglottis)-bronchi-brochioles-alveolus (sing.) |
| Moist and thin walled where gas exchange occurs | Alveoli |
| Oxygen and nutrient containing fluid is pumped into the hemocoel | Hemolymph |
| Cavity or sinus where body tissues receive hemolymph | Hemocoel |
| Holes back into a heart that will pump the hemolymph | Ostia |
| Flow of blood through a closed circulatory system | Heart-arteries-arterioles-capillaries-venules-veins-heart |
