Answer 3

give me sec it will b a lot to type..... one sec

Answer 4

In a single loop circuit ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood towards the gills. Blood gets oxygenated and circulates throughout the body. It gets deoxygenated and moves again towards the heart

Answer 5

ok the book meaning of a ventricle is: lower chamber of the heart that pumps blood out of heart to the rest of the body
I kno the circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, and blood I think throughout the body...it also gets rid of wastes
I have no idea how that ties into a single loop...or what that really means

Answer 6

so then this process takes place in fish?....

Answer 7

so then does diffusion play a part at all?

Answer 8

yes single circulation happens in fishes..because they have very small body sizes

Answer 9

Diffusion plays a part in gills

Answer 10

ok that makes sense... so that means that basically the ventricles are responsible for transporting oxygenated blood throughout the body and deoxygenated blood goes back to the heart of lungs to get more oxygen?

Answer 11

sorry idk y this website is crazy slow!

Answer 12

okay first off all we are talking about Single circulation system..lets say in fish...It has only one Ventricle

Answer 13

Now its function is to pump blood

Answer 14

ok and because there is only one ventricle, the deoxygenated blood and the oxygenated blood must travel through the same ventricle
