- The Heart
- Mammals have a double circulatory system.
- First system connects heart lungs.
- Deoxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs to take in oxygen. the blood returns to the heart.
- Second system connects heart to the rest of the body.
- Oxygenated blood in the heart is pumped out to the body. it gives up its oxygen. deoxygenated blood returns to heart to be pumped out to the lungs again.
- Advantages: returning blood to the heart after picking up oxygen at the lungs means it can be pumped out around the body at a higher temperature.
- Increases rate of blood flow to the tissues, so more oxygen can be delivered to the cells.
- Important because mammals use up a lot of oxygen to maintain their body temperature.
- Increases rate of blood flow to the tissues, so more oxygen can be delivered to the cells.
- First system connects heart lungs.
- Right atrium - Left atrium
- 1) Pulmonary artery 2) Vena cava 3) Semi lunar valve 4) Tricuspid valve 5) Right ventricle 6) Left ventricle 7) Bicuspid valve 8) Semi lunar valve 9) Pulmonary vein 10) Aorta.
