Summary Introduction

To determine:

What are the short-term changes in animal’s cardiovascular function that might facilitates use of skeletal muscle to escape dangerous situation.

Introduction:

Cardiovascular system is also as known as circulatory system. It is used to transport nutrients, oxygen, amino acids electrolytes, and hormones through blood and take out carbon dioxide and toxins from the body. It also helps in fighting diseases. It consists of blood and lymph. Blood is a fluid consists of red blood cell, white blood cell and plasma. Heart is a muscular tissue and is the main component of circulatory system.

Skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle which is attached to bone and form nerve tissues, tendons, blood vessels, muscle tissue. It has ability to contract and relax and facilitate movement of body parts.

How do hormones and nerves provide homeostatic regulation of blood flow as well as allow an animal to respond to stress?
Describe two mechanisms by which the cardiac output of an animal’s heart can be adjusted and indicate which is more important for increasing cardiac output in mammals and which is more important in fish.
What are the important differences in the overall metabolic needs of a fish and a turtle and the ability of their circulatory systems to meet those needs? Select all that apply. Fish are less able to meet their metabolic needs than are turtles.  Fish have a two-chamber heart (one atrium and one ventricle) and turtles have a three-chambered heart (two atria and one ventricle). Turtles are endothermic and fish are ectothermic  Blood flows directly to other organs after being oxygenated in turtles, but return to the heart after being oxygenated in fish.  Turtles have a double,-circuit circulatory system whereas fish have a single circulatory system.
