Blood Flow in Fishes
Blood Flow in Fishes
To the tune of “Somebody to Love” by Queen
[Intro]
This is the path blood takes
In circulation
[Verse 1]
Blood enters the heart
Through the sinus venosus
It passes into the atrium
Then the ventricle next
Then on into the conus or
Bulbus arteriosus
[Chorus]
In fishes, oh in fishes
This is the path that blood takes
In circulation
[Verse 2]
Blood travels to the gills
Via the ventral aorta
And the afferent branchial arteries
Blood is oxygenated
At the gill capillaries
[Chorus]
In fishes, oh in fishes
This is the path that blood takes
In circulation
[Bridge]
Blood drains
From the efferent branchial
Arteries
To the dorsal aorta
So it can go on and perfuse the rest of the body
[Chorus]
In fishes, oh in fishes
This is the path that blood takes
In circulation
[Verse 3]
Blood flows through tissues
And is deoxygenated
Then it enters venous circulation
This leads it to back towards the heart
And the sinus venosus
[Outro]
This is the path that blood takes
Is the path that blood takes (x6)
Is the path that blood, blood, blood, blood takes
Is the path that blood takes
Is the path that blood takes
In fishes, in fishes, in fishes, in fishes
This is the path that blood takes
This is the path that blood takes
In circulation
