double circuit plan in fishes and mammals

 

Definitions from the Web

Double Circuit Plan

Description:

The double circuit plan refers to a physiological adaptation found in certain fishes and mammals, in which blood is pumped through the heart twice in a complete circuit. This allows for efficient separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, enabling more effective delivery of oxygen to the body tissues.

Sample Sentences:

  • In fishes, the double circuit plan involves the heart pumping blood to the gills for oxygenation and then to the rest of the body.
  • Marine mammals, such as whales and dolphins, rely on the double circuit plan for enhanced oxygen transport during deep dives.
  • The double circuit plan is a vital feature of the circulatory system in certain species, ensuring efficient circulation of oxygen-rich blood.
