Study Notes
Heart Structure and Function in Scoliodon
- The sinus venosus functions as a receiving chamber in the heart of scoliodon.
- The heart is situated on the ventral side of the body between two series of gill pouches.
- The sinus venosus receives deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body.
Heart Structure and Function in Frog
- The auricle in the heart of the frog has a conical shape with thick muscular walls.
- The ventricle communicates with the conus arteriosus through a slit-like aperture.
- The ventricle has a spongy texture due to its inner surface giving many trabecular strands.
- The conus arteriosus is a stout median muscular tube arising from the ventricle.
- The conus arteriosus is continued forward as the ventral aorta.
- The heart is designated as the venous or branchial heart in the context of frog anatomy.
- The blood vascular system of the frog is a closed system.
- Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood circulate through the frog's heart.
Heart Structure and Function in Garden Lizard (Calotes)
- The heart of the garden lizard contains serous or pericardial fluid between the heart and pericardium.
- The heart is placed in the anterior part of the thoracic cavity.
- The heart has a broad anterior part with two auricles and a posterior part with a single ventricle.
Heart Enclosure and Valves
- The heart is enclosed within a sac formed of two membranes: an outer pericardium and an inner epicardium which closely invests the heart.
- The lumen of the conus arteriosus is provided with two transverse rows of valves.
- The sinus venosus opens into the auricle by a sinuauricular aperture guarded by a pair of valves.
