1.2 The Circulatory System

FISH SINGLE CLOSED CIRCULATION
Tr.Rez@SB2014
Disadvantages of single circulation:A single heart has to pump blood through the gill capillary network & the body capillary networkThis reduces blood pressure producing a sluggish flow of blood

1.3 The mechanism of blood clotting
WHY?
The necessity of blood clotting
Tr.Rez@SB2014
Damaged blood vessels, tissues or blood plateletsCalcium ions (Ca2t)Vitamin KThrombokinase (thromboplastin)Prothrombin (inactive)thrombin (active)Fibrinogen (soluble)Fibrin (insoluble)Fibrin mesh traps red blood cells which dry up to form a blood clot
Tr.Rez@SB2014
Impaired Blood Clotting MechanismImpaired blood clotting mechanism:Making the blood clotting impossible orCausing blood to clot blocking the flow of blood within the blood vessels
Deficient in calcium & vitamin KCalcium & vitamin K must be present in blood for the formation of blood clotsIf body does not have enough Ca & Vit K; take longer time to clotIf totally missing, person who suffers a cut could bleed to death
Haemophiliahave an impaired blood-clotting mechanismblood is unable to form a clot due to the deficiency in the blood proteins taking part in coagulationhaemophiliacs may bleed to death or die of internal injuryTr.Rez@SB2014
Thrombosisformation of a clot / thrombus inside a blood vesselblocking blood flowstops the tissues from receiving the normal blood flow & oxygenIf not treated quickly, can cause damage / death of tissues in that areaClot in coronary artery : heart attackClot in brain : stroke
