Why would a tracheal system not be suitable for humans?arrow_forwardDoes blood immediately return to the heart after being oxygenated in the gills of the perch? Does blood immediately return to the heart after being oxygenated in the lungs of the frog? Does blood immediately return to the heart after being oxygenated in the lungs of the pig?arrow_forward
- When comparing the circulatory systems of vertebrates, indicate whether the following statements are true or false. There is no mixing of oxygenated (high [O2]) and deoxygenated (low [O2]) blood in the ventricle of a fish. #apply Question 9 options: True False The circulatory system of amphibians is more efficient than that of fish because there are two circulatory loops. #analyze Question 10 options: True False The only vertebrates without a hepatic portal venous system connecting the gut to the liver are the fish. #analyze Question 11 options: True False There is no mixing of oxygenated (high [O2]) and deoxygenated (low [O2]) blood in the ventricle of a frog. #apply Question 12 options: True Falsearrow_forwardDiscuss in detail the circulatory system of Frog?arrow_forwardWhich of the following animals are the only vertebrates in which blood flows directly from respiratory organs to body tissues without first returning to the heart? fishes birds mammals amphibians reptilesarrow_forward
- Explain why the evolution of the four-chambered heart was critical for the development of an endothermic lifestyle – the generation of internal heat – in birds and mammals.arrow_forwardAssume that a human heart functions similarly to a frog heart. If a person is experiencing a fever, what would we expect to happen to that person's heart rate?arrow_forwardWhat are the pros and cons of closed and open circulatorysystems? Consider not only the type of information in Table 25.2arrow_forward
- Mammals and birds evolved from different reptilian lineages (therapsid reptiles and saurischian dinosaurs, respectively). Most reptilian hearts have three chambers (2 atria and 1 ventricle), yet the heart of both mammals and birds have four chambers. Explain how these two groups ended up with similar structures. Explain the evolutionary advantage of a four-chambered heart.arrow_forwardIn insects, as in some other animals we have seen, the hemocoel is primarily responsible for: providing a place for food storage retracting the gubernaculum and the pharynx O coeling the hemo replacing the intestinal system with increased surface area holding and circulating body fluids protecting the anterior gangliaarrow_forwardHow do essential nutrients and waste materials move through the Circulatory System?arrow_forward
