Which statement accurately describes the difference between fish and human circulatory systems?
Which statement accurately describes the difference between fish and human circulatory systems?
- Both fish and humans have a double circulatory system with four chambers in the heart.
- Fish and humans have identical circulatory systems, with no significant differences.
- Fish have a slower oxygen delivery system, while humans have a more efficient system. (correct)
- Fish have a double circulatory system, while humans have a single circulatory system.
How many chambers does the human heart have?
How many chambers does the human heart have?
- Five chambers: two atria, two ventricles, and a central chamber
- Three chambers: left atrium, right atrium, and left ventricle
- Four chambers: left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, and right ventricle (correct)
- Two chambers: left atrium and right ventricle
Which blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart?
Which blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart?
- Vena cava (correct)
- Aorta
- Pulmonary vein
- Pulmonary artery
What is the primary function of the coronary arteries?
What is the primary function of the coronary arteries?
Which part of the human heart acts as the natural pacemaker, regulating the heart rate?
Which part of the human heart acts as the natural pacemaker, regulating the heart rate?
Study Notes
- Fish have a single circulatory system where deoxygenated blood is pumped to the gills for oxygenation before reaching the organs, resulting in slower oxygen delivery.
- Humans have a double circulatory system where deoxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs for oxygenation before being delivered rapidly to body cells, ensuring efficient oxygen supply.
- The human heart has four chambers: left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, and right ventricle, separated by valves to regulate blood flow.
- Key blood vessels entering and leaving the heart include the vena cava (bringing deoxygenated blood from the body), pulmonary artery (to the lungs), pulmonary vein (from the lungs), and aorta (to the body).
- The coronary arteries branch from the aorta to supply oxygen to the heart muscle cells for energy production, facilitated by the natural pacemaker in the right atrium regulating the heart rate.
