Comparative Animal
Physiology
Circulation
Why have a
circulatory system?
 Diffusion
sucks!
 Moves oxygen and
nutrients to cells
 Removes CO2 and waste
products from cells
How do I know it’s a circulatory
system?
 Pump
 Fluid
 Vessels
or spaces
Primitive circulatory systems
Open systems have all the
characteristics of a circulatory system
The vessels in open systems can
be quite elaborate…
Fig 24.24
Open Circulatory Systems
 Low
pressure
 Relatively inefficient
 Can’t keep interstitial fluids and
blood separate
 Don’t allow impressive athletic
feats
But what about insects?
 Insect
flight muscle has the
highest work output in living
organisms
 Oxygen delivery (via the
tracheal system) is decoupled
from the fluid circulatory system

ΔP=P1-P2
Flow Rate
 Flow
Q = ΔP
R
rate can be determined by
Pressure at the start of the system
 Pressure loss in the system
 Resistance in the system

 Pressure
is proportional to both
flow rate and resistance

Longer systems have more

resistance
 More viscosity = higher
resistance
 Resistance is proportional to
the 4th power of the radius of
the tube

A small change in tube diameter
= a huge change in resistance

What does this mean
physiologically?
3 kPa

Gills
Heart
Counter this with
relatively large
variation in heart size
and performance
5 kPa
Heart oxygen demand may be a
limiting factor in teleosts
Head
Body
Gills
Heart
High performance fish hearts
 Deoxygenated
blood perfusing
spongy myocardium is a limiting
factor for fish
 Salmonids, Tuna, Sharks have a
‘hybrid heart’.

(Most) Fishes Breathing Air
Plecostomus - Gut
Electric Eel - Mouth
Bowfin – Swim bladder
Fig. 23.15
(Most) Fishes breathing air
 No
change to heart design
 Air breathing organs usually in
parallel with body tissues
 Direct mixing of oxygenated and
deoxygenated blood

Ensures adequate O2 for the heart(?)

 Have a closed, divided circulatory
system

Oxygen delivery to octopus heart
muscle

Octopus circulation
 Two
branchial hearts, one
systemic
 Gills are in series with the
tissues
 Allows oxygenated blood to be
pumped at higher rate through
systemic tissues.
