Open circulatory system What are the disadvantages? The open peripheral system limits the size of the animals (insects and spiders), because the interstitial diffusion is efficient only over short distances. What are the advantages? Despite the low pressure of the open systems, by lowering the resistance the flow rate increases rapidly. en.wikipedia.org Blood ow through the tissues of an insect is principally through lacunae and sinuses. In general, the blood of insects lacks a respiratory pigment. The modest development of the circulatory system in insects seems paradoxical at rst. Insects have a lesson to teach: the circulatory system can remain quite simple in even highly active animals if it doesn’t have the burden of O2 transport. (From J. C. Jones. 1964. In M. Rockstein [ed.], The Physiology of Insecta, vol.3, pp. 1-107. Academic Press, New York.) fl fi Let’s close up the pipes…. Annelida Philum Closed circulatory system Multiple pseudo-hearts These pseudohearts don't pump blood, but rather squeeze vessels to help circulate blood throughout the worm's body weed-science-classes.wikispaces.com; en.wikipedia.org Closed circulatory system What are the disadvantages? In a closed system, the blood is required to travel through exceedingly small diameter vessels to complete its circuit through the body. These tiny vessels present a high resistance to ow. Thus, in a closed system, for blood to circulate at high rates, large pressure di erences are required. What are the advantages? With a closed circulatory system, the spatial distribution of blood ow can be nely controlled on very short timescales. It is more e cient in that it uses less blood for even higher and faster levels of distribution, supporting higher metabolisms and physical activities. weed-science-classes.wikispaces.com; en.wikipedia.org fi ff ffi fl fl Pumps and Tubes How do the processes of small scale flow connect to large scale flow in the operation and function of circulatory systems? www.vanderbilt.edu/hillyerlab/Research__Circulation.html s1113.photobucket.com General characteristics of circulatory systems The three important components: Pump/s or other propulsive structures to drive uid ow A system of tubes, channels or other spaces through which the uid can ow A uid that circulates through the system fl fl fl fl The physics of ow through tubes: Ohm’s law Ohm’s law ΔP = Flow x Resistance V = IR Electrical current: a ow of charged particles Flow of blood in the bloodstream.

The arrangement of vessels in the organism is influenced by general physical laws as well as by specific physiological requirements. www.leememorial.org The physics of ow through tubes: Poiseuille’s law What factors determine the resistance? Ohm’s law 3 factors determine the resistance: - viscosity of the blood ΔP = Q x R - length of the vessel Q = ΔP/R - radius of the blood vessel. R= 8ηl/πr4 Flow increases with the fourth power of the radius! Poiseuille's Law If the radius of the lumen is reduced to a half what would be the change in the new rate of ow? The rate of ow falls to 1⁄16 of the original rate! fl fl The physics of ow through tubes: Poiseuille’s law Poiseuille's Law Ohm’s law Flow increases with the fourth power of Q = ΔP/R the radius! O2 Lungs Problem: In the lungs and systemic tissues Pump O2 is delivered by diffusion. For an effective diffusion we need small tubes O2 Tissue fl In the lungs and systemic tissues O2 is delivered by diffusion. For an effective diffusion we need small tubes Solution: O2 Lungs Big tubes for delivery and O2 small tubes for diffusion …one more problem: What happens when you place a finger on the garden hose? Pump O2 Tissue O2 VELOCITY OF WATER INCREASES! For an effective diffusion we need both small tubes and low velocity of flow. The physics of ow through tubes: the principle of continuity Flow in = Flow out Q= A ∗ v Q1=Q2 A1v1=A2v2 If the area of the tube decreases the speed of the fluid must increase. Solution: branching the vessels increases the total cross-sectional area! boundless.com fl For an effective diffusion we need both small tubes and low velocity of flow! The total cross-sectional area of the vessels increases with distance from the heart. Q= A ∗ v Q1=Q2 A1v1=A2v2 Consequently, the velocity of flow decreases, and then increases after passing the capillaries. boundless.com www.allaboutcircuits.com www.pdn.cam.ac.uk Q = ΔP/R What are the bene ts? Lungs Lungs Pump Pump Tissue1 Tissue2 Tissue1 Tissue2 Tissue3 Tissue3 With tissues in parallele we can change the pattern of flow by varying the relative resistances, and we can reduce the pressure that has to be developed by the heart. fi A physiological model involving a parallel circuit We can change the pattern of flow by varying the relative resistances of the different organs, by selectively vasoconstricting or vasodilating the arterioles. We can reduce the overall resistance of the circulation (TPR). www.pdn.cam.ac.uk www.pdn.cam.ac.uk Slideshare A physiological model involving a circuit in series For a series resistance network, the total resistance (RT) equals the sum of the individual resistances. Therefore, for the vessels depicted in the gure, the total resistance is equal to the sum of the small artery (RA), arterioles (Ra), capillaries (Rc), venules (Rv), and vein (RV) resistances. RT = RA + Ra + Rc + Rv + RV The biggest drop in blood pressure in the circulation occurs across the vessels with (collectively) the highest resistance: the arterioles. This has considerable importance when you come to consider the control of the circulation. fi Single vs double circulation Single-Loop Circulation: blood passes through the heart only once on each circuit Double-loop circulation: are circulation systems in which blood ows through the heart twice. 1 Heart vs 2 Hearts! http://esi.stanford.edu/circulation/circulation6.htm fl Pressure drops as it reaches High pressure to deliver blood to the tissues, the tissues. and a low pressure to the lungs. Lungs Lungs Pump Pump1 Pump2 Tissues Tissues What are advantages and disadvantages of single vs double circulation? In fish pressure drops as it reaches the systemic circulation. In mammals we can have a high pressure to deliver blood to the peripheral tissues, and a low pressure to the pulmonary circulation…and so we don’t blow out the lungs! Single vs double circulation Tissues Are lungs and tissues in series or in parallel? In fish the two circuits are in series, and so the flow through them must be exactly the same by the principle of continuity. Tissues This is the same for a fully separated 4-chambered heart like mammals. The difference is in the pressure! http://esi.stanford.edu/circulation/circulation6.htm In Amphibians the blood is pumped from a three-chambered heart with two atria and a single ventricle. The “two hearts” involves just a single ventricle that produces pressure for both the pulmonary and systemic circulations. The ow through the two circuits depends on the resistance of each. The resistance can be changed independently for each circuit through vasoconstriction. fl Most reptiles also have a three-chambered heart that with a single ventricle produces pressure for both the pulmonary and systemic circulations.
