Study Notes
Circulatory Systems
- Open circulatory systems feature blood flowing through body cavities.
- Closed circulatory systems offer more efficient blood delivery than open systems.
Double Circulation
- Incomplete double circulation is found in amphibians and reptiles (except crocodiles).
Heart Types
- Crocodiles, birds, and mammals possess a four-chambered heart.
Human Heart Protection
- The pericardium, a double-walled sac, protects the human heart.
Human Heart Size
- The human heart is roughly the size of a fist.
Atrial Function
- The atria are the heart's chambers that receive blood.
Circulatory System Components
- A component not part of the human circulatory system (needs further context for a specific answer).
Deoxygenated Blood Reception
- The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood in humans.
Avian and Mammalian Circulation
- Birds and mammals exhibit double circulation.
