✨ WHAT YOU’LL MASTER
🔹 Subtopic 1: Need for Transport & Types of Systems
Mass flow and SA:V ratio explained

Open vs. Closed circulatory systems with pressure and transport medium

Single vs. Double circulation

Real examples: Cockroach, Locust, Nile Tilapia, African Toad, Maasai Giraffe

🔹 Subtopic 2: Blood & Blood Vessels
Plasma, Erythrocytes, Leucocytes, Thrombocytes

Plasma proteins: Albumin, Globulins, Fibrinogen

Histology of arteries, veins, and capillaries (Tunicae layers)

Structural adaptations for function

🔹 Subtopic 3: The Mammalian Heart & Cardiac Cycle
Myogenic heart and the pacemaker system (SAN, AVN)

Conduction pathway: Bundle of His, Purkinje fibers

Cardiac cycle: Atrial systole, Ventricular systole, Diastole (“LUB-DUB”)

Real examples: Zebu cattle, High-altitude adaptation in Kilimanjaro residents

🔹 Subtopic 4: Fluid Exchange & Lymphatic System
Starling’s Forces: Hydrostatic vs. Oncotic pressure

Net Filtration Pressure at arteriolar and venular ends

Lymphatic system and edema

Real examples: Elephantiasis (Wuchereria bancrofti) and Kwashiorkor

🔹 Subtopic 5: Transport of Respiratory Gases
Haemoglobin structure and cooperative binding

Oxygen Dissociation Curve (sigmoid shape)

Bohr Effect and Chloride Shift

CO₂ transport: Dissolved, Carbamino-haemoglobin, Bicarbonate

Real examples: Mount Kilimanjaro porters and Sickle Cell trait
