Function of a circulatory system:
To provide rapid mass flow of materials:
Blood flow
Vein
from one part of the body
to another over distances where
diffusion would be too slow
![Page 5: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
On reaching their destination, materials must be able to:
pass through the walls of the circulatory system into the organs or tissues
![Page 6: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Three distinct characteristics of every blood system:
1. a circulatory fluid, the blood
2. a contractile pumping devise [either a modified blood vessel or a heart]
3. tubes through which the fluid can circulate, the blood vessels
![Page 7: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Two distinct types of blood systems in animals:
Open circulation Closed circulation
blood does not stay
in the blood vesselsblood stays in the
blood vessels
![Page 8: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
most arthropods
Open circulation in Closed circulation in
echinoderms
most cephalopod
molluscs (octopus)
annelids
vertebratessome molluscs
![Page 9: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Distribution of blood to the tissues is :
poorly controlled
Open circulation Closed circulation
well controlled
![Page 10: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Blood and tissue fluid in:
mix
Open circulation
Closed circulation
remain separate
![Page 11: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In an open circulation:1. The heart pumps blood into
an aorta: branches into
arteries.
2. These arteries open into a
series of blood spaces
collectively called the
haemocoel.
3. Blood under low pressure
moves slowly between the
tissues, gradually percolating
back into the heart through
open-ended veins.
![Page 12: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In a closed circulation blood is:
pumped by the heart rapidly around the body under high pressure and back to the heart
![Page 13: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Characteristics of:Open circulation Closed circulation1. Blood flow is slow and at a low pressure due to the absence of smooth muscles.
1. The speed of circulation is more rapid due to the presence of muscular and contractile blood vessels.
2. Direct exchange of materials between the cells and the blood because of the direct contact between them.
2. The supply and removal of materials to and from the tissues by the blood is enhanced, thereby increasing the efficiency of circulation.
3. The respiratory pigment, when present, is dissolved in the plasma of the blood and there are no red corpuscles
3. The volume of blood flowing through a tissue or organ is regulated by the contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the blood vessels.
![Page 14: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Advantages of a closed circulation:
1. Blood can flow more rapidly through vessels
than through intercellular spaces, so:
rapid transport of nutrients and wastes
to and from tissues more rapidly.
A closed circulation:
can support higher levels of metabolic activity than open systems, especially
in larger animals
![Page 15: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Insects do not depend on their circulation for O2 to reach the cells, but have the tracheal
system.
How can highly active insect species achieve high levels of metabolic output with their open
circulatory system?
![Page 16: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Advantages of a closed circulation:2. By changing resistances in the blood vessels, blood
can be directed to specific tissues
e.g. during
exercise blood
is:
diverted to:
active
muscles
away from:
the gut
![Page 17: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Advantages of a closed circulation:
3.
can be kept
within the
vessels
Cellular elements
Large molecules that
aid in the transport of
hormones
Nutrients

wall from the internal
organs
independence of movement of internal structures such as the gut
![Page 21: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
a blood system has evolved which connects gut and body wall
However, a connecting system between the two
regions is needed
![Page 22: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The earthworm:has a well-developed blood system
blood circulates in blood vessels
2 main blood vessels: run the length of the
body: one dorsal one ventral
are connected by blood vessels in each segment
![Page 23: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. Near the front of the animal:
5 pairs of connecting vessels are contractile and act as pumps
How is blood moved forwards in an earthworm?
5 hearts
2. The main blood vessels can also pump blood.
![Page 24: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Three features of human circulation:
1. It is a double circulation. pressure is restored &
boosted before the blood is circulated to the rest of the body
![Page 76: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

Double circulation of blood in humans
blood passes through the heart twice for each circuit of the body
![Page 80: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

BIRDS & MAMMALS have true double
circulations

Why is a single circulation less efficient than a double circulation?
Drop in pressure as blood passes through the gills
![Page 83: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)

Three layers in an artery & a vein
1. Tunica intima [endothelium]
an inner lining of squamous epithelium
2. Tunica media a middle layer of
smooth muscle + elastic fibres

Two reasons for walls of arteries being thick and the middle layer being mainly composed of elastic
fibres.
1. To dilate but not rupture when the heart forces blood into them at high pressure
![Page 88: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
2. Between beats the arteries undergo elastic recoil and contract, tending to smooth out the flow of blood along their length
![Page 89: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Muscles in blood vessels regulate the distribution of blood to an organ:

Veinsact as blood reservoirsstore: 65% - 70% of the body’s total
blood volume

When body muscles contract, they exert
pressure and squeeze the veins
flat, helping the blood to return to the heart.
How does blood return to the heart?
![Page 93: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Capillaries• are very small - about the
diameter of a red blood cell
• capillary walls are: a single layer of very thin
endothelial cells, attached at their edges
and surrounded by a basement membrane
Endothelial cells
![Page 94: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Question: Section C [MAY, 2010]
Use your knowledge of biology to describe the selective advantage of the following adaptations.
The diameters of red blood cells and the blood capillaries in which they flow are approximately the same. (5 marks)
Basement membrane
![Page 95: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Blood moves slowly in capillaries as the diameter of RBC is approximately the same as that of capillaries. This gives time for:
oxygen to be released from RBC and to diffuse into the tissue fluid.
another function of RBC is to carry carbon dioxide away from tissues in the form of carbamino-haemoglobin. Ample time is available for carbon dioxide to enter the RBC.
![Page 96: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Flow of blood into capillaries can be controlled by:
sphincters present in many arterioles at the point where they
enter the capillaries
![Page 97: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Sphincters are circular muscle fibres:
When contracted: prevent blood flow into the capillary network
![Page 98: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Pressure is reduced in smaller vessels because:
Arterioles are highly branched.Capillaries contribute an enormous
surface area.
![Page 99: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)

Blood flows slowly through capillaries. Why?
Due to a very large cross-sectional area[velocity is inversely proportional to cross-
sectional area
![Page 101: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)

them
By semi-lunar valves present in the major vessels
How is backflow prevented?

This question is concerned with the lymphatic system.
a. What is lymph? (2)
Lymph, a colorless to yellowish fluid whose composition is similar to that of blood except that it does not contain red blood cells or platelets, and contains considerably less protein.
Question: [SEP, 2009]
![Page 128: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
b. What are the main functions of the lymphatic system? (2)
- collects fats from the ileum via lacteals
- plays a role in immunity. Fluid is filtered in lymph nodes which contain lymphocytes that kill microbes
- drains tissue fluid and returns it to the bloodstream.
![Page 129: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
c. Briefly describe how fluid enters and leaves the lymphatic system. (3)
Tissue fluid enters the lymphatic system located at the venous end of a capillary. Lymph is drained into the subclavian vein by the right or thoracic lymph ducts.
![Page 130: Circulation [part 1]](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5554563eb4c905b7428b546d/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
d. Compare the composition of lymph with that of blood plasma in the following two situations:
i) Lymph that has just left a lymph node; (1)
Lymph is richer in lymphocytes than plasma as it leaves the lymph nodes.
ii) Lymph formed in the vicinity of the small intestine.
Is rich in fats as lacteals absorb triglycerides. (1)
e. How is lymph propelled through the lymphatic system? (2)
By contractions of skeletal muscles. Valves inside the lymphatic vessels prevent backflow.
