Transport in Animals

Q1: Mammals have a double circulatory system. Blood flows between:

 The heart and the rest of the body (systemic circulation).

B) Explain how the structure of an artery, as shown in Fig. 1.1, is related to its functions.

Artery carry oxygenated blood. It have thick layer of tissue which provide strength to artery as pressure
of blood is higher in it.

Q2: heart Explain why it is necessary for the blood supply to muscles to increase during exercise.

When the muscles start to work, they need more oxygen so the respiratory system responds by getting
more oxygen into the lungs. The blood carries greater amounts of oxygen and the heart responds to
pump more oxygenated blood around the body and while we exercise we lose our wastes products such
as carbon dioxide.

Q3: Fig. 3.1 shows a vertical section of a human heart Identify the blood vessels labelled J to M.

Arota

Pulmonary veins

Venacava

Pulmonary artery

Q4: Name the two blood vessels that deliver blood to the liver.

The liver receives a blood supply from two sources. The first is the hepatic artery which delivers
oxygenated blood and hepatic vein deliver deoxygenated blood.
