    Circulatory System of Frog For Class Ix

    A frog's circulatory system consists of a three-chambered heart with two atria and one ventricle. Deoxygenated blood enters one atrium and oxygenated blood enters the other atrium. The single ventricle then pumps the blood, mixing it only minimally, to the lungs, skin, and rest of the body. This closed double loop system effectively circulates blood through the frog's body while reducing mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

    Frog’s Circulatory

    System
    A Frog's Heart Is Central to Its Circulation

     It has two atria and a single ventricle, making it have a total of three chambers.
    Here's how it works.
     Deoxygenated blood is sent to the atrium from various organs in the frog's body
    through blood vessels and veins. This is the blood being drained from organs, thus
    starting the cleansing process. Oxygenated blood then comes from the lungs and
    the skin, and enters the left atrium. (This also serves as a gas exchange in most
    amphibians.)
     Both atria dump their blood into the single ventricle. The ventricle is divided into
    two narrowly separated chambers, which cleverly reduces the mixing of
    oxygenated and deoxygenated blood together. The ventricle contracts, sending
    oxygenated blood to the brain from the left ventricle. It reaches the head by flowing
    through the carotid arteries.
     This is an almost pure blood that reaches the brain.
     The skin and lungs receive nearly pure blood from the right atrium through
    pulmocutaneous arteries. From the skin and lungs, fresh oxygen can be
    picked up. The blood that passes through the aortic arches is very mixed up,
    but still has a lot of oxygen in it. There is enough to supply the rest of the
    body what it needs.
     Interesting note: Both the gas exchange organs and the interior tissues of the
    body get their blood under full pressure.
     The Circulatory system of a frog consists of the heart, blood vessels, and
    blood. Frogs have a closed double loop circulatory system.
     A closed circulatory system means that the frog’s blood is contained with in
    blood vessels and the heart. The double loop system means that the blood
    goes back to the heart two times before the blood goes through the whole
    system of the frog’s body.
     There are three chambers consisting of one ventricle and two atria.
     The ventricle pumps blood through a single artery (truncus arteriosus) witch
    distributes blood thought the body.
     Oxygenated blood coming back to the heart from lungs enters the heart into
    different atria than the de-oxygenated blood does coming from the body
    capillaries.
     The valve helps to keep blood from only mixing as minimally as possible. The
    valve directs the oxygenated blood to the aorta, which will leave heart and go
    to the body capillaries and the deoxygenated blood out the pulmonary vein
    and to the lungs. Oxygenated and non-oxygenated bloods still mix, because
    Frogs lack a septum that would separate blood.
     The Frog's circulatory system works is because frogs do not need as much
    oxygen rich blood in their body because they are getting oxygen from two
    sources, their lungs, and through their skin. Both oxygen and carbon dioxide
    are able to transfer through the skin of frogs. Another reason why their three
    chambered heart works for frogs is because frogs are ectoderm's which
    means the maintain their body temperature externally and this requires a lot
    less oxygen.
