What is the dorsal blood vessel and the ventral blood vessel?
I always got dorsal (down the back or spine) and ventral (down the underside) confused, until I thought of an easy way to remember it. The ventral goes down to where the animal "vents" (poops). So the dorsal blood vessel is the vessel that runs down the back, while the ventral blood vessel runs down the underside.
Is the dorsal blood vessel different from the ventral blood vessel in an earthworm?
yes.
The dorsal and ventral blood vessel are part of what system?
digestive
What is the pathway of the blood through the parts of the earthworm's ciruclatory system?
Earthworms intake oxygen through their skin into the blood of their dorsal vessel. The dorsal vessel carries the oxygenated blood towards the aortic arches in the front of the worm. The aortic arches serve as the worm's heart, pumping blood through the ventral vessel toward the rear of the worm. Smaller vessels carry the blood from the ventral vein to the tissues and back to the dorsal vein.
What is the definition of median ventral vessel?
Breaking it down, Median would mean in the middle, ventral has something to do with the abdomen (compare ventral and dorsal, dorsal means back), and vessel would be a duct or canal. So, it would be the canal in the middle of the abdomen.
What is the function of the dorsal blood vessel in an earthworms?
To carry the blood to all parts of the earthworm.
Which side is darker on woodlice the dorsal or ventral surface?
The dorsal side of an earthworm is darker than the ventral side. This is because of the dorsal blood vessal that runs along the top of the digestive track and just under the skin. There is a ventral blood vessel, but it doesn't lie against the skin, but instead in between the ventral nerve cord and the digestive track.
How can you tell the difference between the dorsal and ventral sides of a squid?
the dorsal is along the back and is darker from the main blood stream, where as the ventral is along the front and is very light from the less blood in the certain vessel....so yeah
What is a median dorsal vessel on a worm?
The median dorsal vessel in a worm is part of its circulatory system that runs along the dorsal midline of the body. It functions to transport nutrients, waste products, and gases throughout the worm's body.
What is the function ventral blood vessel?
The ventral blood vessel is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body of certain invertebrate animals, such as earthworms. It is a part of the circulatory system and helps transport oxygen and nutrients to various tissues and organs.
What is the difference between the dorsal and ventral sides of the worm How can you tell which side is which?
You can tell cause dirt comes out the dorsal side. the dorsal side is darker because its the worms main blood vessel like our aorta
What is function of aortic arches of earthworms?
The function of an earthworm's aortic arches are to pump blood to the ventral blood vessel and into the body.
