Mammals have two ciculatory circuits: pulmonary and systemic
CB42.9
Blood flows from arteries to capillaries to veins
CB 42.11
Blood pressure changes as the blood moves from arteries to capillaries
CB 42.14
This change in pressure causes fluid to leak out of the capillaries
Highpressure,Fluid forced out
Blood in vein,More viscous
Interstitial fluid,Recovered by…
CB 42.14
Not all of the fluid (~15%) is reabsorbed on the venous side. This interstitial fluid is collected by the lymphatic system.
CB 43.5
Lymphatic system
CB 42.10
Because of the low pressure in veins and lymph vessels, movement of these fluids comes from skeletal muscles movements.
The mammalian circulatory
system is both open and closed
CB 42.5
Nutrients, Waste, O2, CO2, Water, Minerals, etc must be transported throughout the body
CB 42.27
Gases move by diffusion:Only from high to low concentration
CB 42.28
hemoglobin
Hb is carriedinside red blood cells Hemoglobin
(a protein) carries oxygen in the blood
CB 42.23
The Respiratory System:large surface area to maximize gas exchange
~100m2 in humans
CB 42.23
Gas exchange occurs in alveoli
In the lungs, O2 diffuses into the blood, and CO2 diffuses out into the lungs.
CB 42.27
How is oxygen delivered to where it is needed?
By adjusting blood flow…CB 42.13
CB 42.30By changes in blood pH

Which is male?
Female grizzly bears cannot reproduce while lactating. Therefore they can only
reproduce every once every 3 years…
…this leads to competition between males

The sex ratio affects who will successfully reproduce. Pipefish females are more affected by competition.

Different reproductive strategies lead to differences in sexual dimorphism.
