37.1 – The Circulatory System
Regents Biology
§ Compare and contrast open and closed circulatory systems
§ Examine how the circulatory system evolves with animal complexity
Objectives
Regents Biology
Exchange of materials § ALL organisms must
exchange materials with their environment.
§ Cells exchange substances across membrane.
§ Easy for unicellular organisms! Substances simply diffuse across.
§ How about multicellular organisms?
Regents Biology
Circulatory system § ensures that no substance must diffuse very far
§ What needs to be transported: - nutrients - respiratory gases (O2,
CO2) - waste (water, salt,
nitrogenous wastes) - protective agents
(white blood cells, antibodies) and blood-clotting agents
- regulatory molecules (hormones)
Regents Biology
§ Read “Open and closed circulatory systems” and answer review question 1
§ Read “Single- and double-loop circulation” and answer review question 2
§ Spend a few minutes discussing with your partner about what you just read.

Regents Biology
In animals with many cell layers… The circulatory system has 3 basic components:
§ circulatory fluid (blood)
§ tubes (blood vessels)
§ muscular pump (heart)
Regents Biology
OPEN circulatory system § in many invertebrates
(insects, arthropods, mollusks)
§ no separation between blood and interstitial fluid
§ Hemolymph
§ heart(s) contract to pump hemolymph into sinuses, relax to draw hemolymph back
§ little pressure!
Regents Biology
CLOSED circulatory system § in some invertebrates
(earthworms, squid, octopuses)
§ in vertebrates § blood confined to
vessels and separate from interstitial fluid
§ more pressure! § material diffuses
between blood vessels and interstitial fluid

Evolution of Vertebrate Circulatory System
A
2 chamber 3 chamber 3 chamber 4 chamber
Regents Biology
Evolution of 4-chambered heart § increase body size § endothermy § flight § all result in higher metabolic rate,
greater need for energy, O2, waste removal
§ endothermic animals need 10 times more energy than animals of comparable size; thus, need to deliver 10 times more fuel and O2 to cells
Regents Biology
§ Describe the structures of the circulatory system § Describe the flow of blood in the circulatory system § Compare and contrast the 3 types of blood vessels § Discuss common causes for heart diseases
Objectives
Regents Biology
The Heart § enclosed in
pericardium (a protective sac of tissue)
§ thick layer of muscle called myocardium makes up wall of heart
§ myocardium contracts to pump blood
Regents Biology
The Heart § septum divides the
heart into right and left sides
§ 4 chambers – 2 atria and 2 ventricles
§ upper chamber (atrium) receives the blood
§ lower chamber (ventricle) pumps blood out of the heart

§ Blood enters heart through atria
§ right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood from heart to the lungs (pulmonary circulation)
§ In the lungs, oxygen is absorbed. Oxygen-rich blood returns to left atrium.
§ Oxygen-rich blood is pumped by left ventricle to the rest of the body (systemic circulation)
Right Ventricle
Right Atrium
Left Atrium
Inferior Vena Cava Vein that brings oxygen-poor
blood from the lower part of the body to the right atrium
Tricuspid Valve Prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium after it has
entered the right ventricle
Pulmonary Valve Prevents blood from flowing back into the right ventricle
after it has entered the pulmonary artery
Pulmonary Veins Bring oxygen-rich blood from each of
the lungs to the left atrium
Superior Vena Cava Large vein that brings oxygen-poor blood from the
upper part of the body to the right atrium Aorta Brings oxygen-rich blood from the left
ventricle to the rest of the body
Pulmonary Arteries Bring oxygen-poor blood to
the lungs
Aortic Valve Prevents blood from flowing
back into the left ventricle after it has entered the aorta
Mitral Valve Prevents blood from flowing back into
the left atrium after it has entered the left ventricle
Left Ventricle
Septum
Regents Biology
Heartbeat
§ each contraction begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrium
§ pacemaker cells § atria contracts, blood from atria flows into ventricles § ventricles contract, blood flows out of the heart

§ carry blood from heart to tissues
§ thick walls § narrow
§ 1-cell thick wall. Advantage?
§ carry blood to heart
§ thinner walls § wider diameter
Regents Biology
Exercise
§ Large veins have valves that keep blood moving toward the heart.
§ Many veins are located near and between skeletal muscles. Why?
