ACTIVITY 12:

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Pre-Lab Discussion
 CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
 Responsible for circulating fluids within the
body
 SUBDIVIDED INTO:
 Cardiovascular system
 Lymphatic system
 FUNCTIONS:
 Transport
nutrients
Gases
Hormones
Minerals
Waste products
 Homeostasis
Thermoregulation
Hormonal balance
 Defense
CIRCULATION
 Blood circulates
in the CV system
 Some fluid leaks
out through the
capillaries into the
intercellular
spaces
 Lymphatic
system:
 drains excess
tissue fluid
 Filters lymph
 Returns lymph to
blood
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS:

 Open circuit
 Closed circuit
 COMPONENTS OF THE
VERTEBRATE CV SYSTEM
 Blood – fluid tissue that carries nutrients,
gases, waste products, etc

 Bloodvessels – tubes / channels through

which blood passes

 Heart – muscular organ that pumps blood

Frog Heart
 Chambers of the Frog Heart
 Leftatrium
 Right atrium
 Ventricle
 Sinus venosus
 Conus arteriosus
BLOOD VESSELS
 PATHWAY OF BLOOD
Large Small
arteries arteries

Large
veins Arterioles

Small
veins venules CAPILLARIES
BLOOD VESSELS
 TASKS
 Identifythe different parts of the
amphibian heart
 Trace the arterial and venous systems of
the toad
