AP Biology Circulatory Systems
AP Biology
Exchange of materials Animal cells exchange material across their cell membrane If you are a 1-cell organism that’s easy! diffusion If you are many-celled that’s harder
AP Biology Overcoming limitations of diffusion O2O2 CHO aa CH CO 2 NH 3 aa O2O2 CH aa CO 2 NH 3 O2O2 aa CH aa CHO O2O2 Diffusion is not adequate for moving material across more than 1-cell barrier
AP Biology In circulation… What needs to be transported nutrients from digestive system respiratory gases O 2 & CO 2 from & to gas exchange systems: lungs, gills Wastes from cells water, salts, nitrogenous wastes (urea) protective agents immune defenses white blood cells & antibodies blood clotting agents regulatory molecules hormones
AP Biology Circulatory systems All animals have: fluid = “blood” tubes = blood vessels muscular pump = heart openclosed hemolymphblood
AP Biology Open circulatory system invertebrates insects, arthropods, mollusks Blood goes out of vessels
AP Biology Closed circulatory system invertebrates earthworms, squid, octopuses All vertebrates blood confined to vessels closed system = higher pressures
AP Biology Vertebrate circulatory system Adaptations in closed system number of heart chambers differs 4 chamber heart is double pump = separates oxygen-rich & oxygen-poor blood; maintains high pressure What’s the adaptive value of a 4 chamber heart? 234 low pressure to body low O 2 to body high pressure & high O 2 to body and birds

AP Biology Evolution of 4-chambered heart convergent evolution Advantages – allows for: increase body size protection from predation bigger body = bigger stomach for herbivores endothermy can colonize more habitats flight decrease predation & increase prey capture higher metabolic rate greater need for energy, fuels, O 2, waste removal endothermic animals need 10x energy need to deliver 10x fuel & O 2 to cells
AP Biology Vertebrate cardiovascular system Chambers atrium = receive blood ventricle = pump blood out Blood vessels arteries = carry blood away from heart arterioles veins = return blood to heart – they have valves venules capillaries = thin wall, exchange / diffusion capillary beds = networks of capillaries
AP Biology Blood vessels arteries arterioles capillaries venules veins artery arteriolesvenules veins
AP Biology Arteries: Built for high pressure pump Arteries thicker walls narrower diameter elasticity Largest is the Aorta
AP Biology Veins: Built for low pressure flow Veins thinner-walled wider diameter blood travels back to heart at low velocity & pressure blood flows by skeletal muscle contractions squeeze blood through veins valves in larger veins one-way valves allow blood to flow only toward heart Largest vein: Vena Cava Open valve Blood flows toward heart Closed valve
AP Biology valves

AP Biology Capillaries: Built for exchange Capillaries very thin walls diffusion exchange between blood & cells
AP Biology Controlling blood flow to tissues controlled by sphincters Amount of blood depends on need During exercise – more to legs During digestion- more to stomach, etc. capillaries in brain, heart, kidneys & liver usually filled to capacity sphincters opensphincters closed

AP Biology AV SL AV Heart valves 4 valves in the heart flaps of connective tissue prevent backflow Atrioventricular (AV) valve between atrium & ventricle prevents blood flowing back into atria “lub” Semilunar valves between ventricle & arteries (aorta/pulmonary) prevent backflow into ventricles “dub” AV valves -Right – tricuspid Left –bicuspid or mitral
AP Biology AV SL AV Lub-dub, lub-dub Heart sounds closing of valves “Lub” blood against closed AV valves “Dub” blood against semilunar valves Heart murmur defect in valves causes hissing sound when blood squirts backward through valve
AP Biology Mammalian circulation What do blue vs. red areas represent? pulmonary systemic
AP Biology Pulse Pulse measures the rate of the heart beat Average for adults is 70-72X min. but varies with size, exercise, etc.
AP Biology Pacemaker – the S.A. node Sino-atrial node is the pacemaker – controls the rate of the heart

AP Biology Cardiac cycle systolic ________ diastolic pump (peak pressure) _________________ fill (minimum pressure) contraction phase systole ventricles pumps blood out relaxation phase diastole atria refill with blood 110 ____ 70 Average Blood Pressure
AP Biology Measurement of blood pressure High Blood Pressure (hypertension) if top number ( systolic pumping) > 150 if bottom number ( diastolic filling) > 90
AP Biology Causes of hypertension Can be controlled: diet (salt, fat) Habits (smoking) Weight (obesity) Age, genetics, unknown
