Question
Chapter 64, Problem 2.2A
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The twelve veins that are common in pigs and humans.
Introduction:
The circulatory system of a pig contains a four-chambered heart that pumps blood to and from the lungs and other body parts. The blood transports back to the heart via veins and the blood is transported to the other body parts by arteries.

Which statement concerning the pulmonary vein is correct?
It carries oxygenated blood from the lung to the left ventricle of the heart
It carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lung
It carries deoxygenated blood from the right atrium of the heart to the lung
It carries oxygenated blood from the lung to the left atrium of the heart
None of the above
Does the sheep and human have the structure of heart listed below? If not what structures does human have that a sheep does not have or vice versa?
One of the current major areas of research in heart transplants is the use of pig hearts for human transplants. Since pig and human hearts are virtually identical anatomically, researchers feel that it can make hearts available to everyone that needs one. Should the organs of pigs (or any other animals) be used to preserve the lives of humans? Why or why not?

- draw and label parts of the human heartarrow_forwardThe English physiologist William Harvey made all of the following circulatory discoveries except: both pulmonary and systemic blood pressure comes from pumping of the heart the function of valves in the veins is to direct blood flow back to the heart blood in the arteries is under more pressure than is blood in the veins arterial pressure is greatest during diastole and lowest during systole the function of the vertebrate heart is to pump blood continuouslyarrow_forwardBlood is pushed out of the heart through a large vessel, called the aorta. The aorta then divides into smaller and smaller blood vessels, eventually reaching vessels called capillaries. Capillaries are so small that oxygen and nutrients can diffuse across the vessel walls and into the tissues of the body, with CO2 and waste diffusing back into the blood. Let's say that the cross-sectional area of the aorta is 1 cm2 = 100 mm2. The blood pumps through the aorta at 100 mm/s but only through the capillaries at 1 mm/s. If each capillary has a cross-sectional area of 20 mm2, how many capillaries must there be in the body? Note: these numbers are not physiologically correct, but were chosen to make the math easier. The blood velocity through the aorta is closer to 300 mm/s. The capillaries have a total cross-sectional area of ~600,000 mm2 (6000 cm2), with a blood flow rate closer to 0.2 mm/s.arrow_forward

- The Greek anatomist Erasistratus, originally from Ceos, identified the correct function of the right atrioventricular valve of the human heart, which was to prevent backward flow of blood from: the right ventricle to the right atrium the right ventricle to the left ventricle the right ventricle to the left atrium the left ventricle to the right ventricle the left ventricle to the left atriumarrow_forwardIn vertebrates, there exist a double circulation. What are these and explain each in the terms of function and significance.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes the function of the pulmonary arteries or veins? Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart from the lungs. Pulmonary veins carry deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the right atrium of the heart.arrow_forward
