Question

Which of the following animals has a three-chambered heart?

A.

Salamander

B.

Rohu

C.

Sparrow

D.

Sting Ray

Correct option is A

The Correct Answer Is: (A) Salamander
Explanation:
A salamander belongs to the class Amphibia, and all amphibians, including frogs, toads, and newts, have a three-chambered heart.
Information Booster:
  • A three-chambered heart consists of:
    1. Two atria (left and right)
    2. One ventricle
  • In amphibians, the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix partially in the single ventricle.
  • Animals with a Two-Chambered Heart:

    • Found in fishes (e.g., Rohu, Sting Ray).
    • Consists of one atrium and one ventricle.
    • Blood is pumped in a single circulation loop.
  • Animals with a Three-Chambered Heart:

    • Found in amphibians and most reptiles (except crocodiles).
    • Consists of two atria and one ventricle.
    • Blood mixing occurs, making it less efficient than a four-chambered heart.
  • Animals with a Four-Chambered Heart:

    • Found in birds and mammals (e.g., Sparrow, Humans, Lions, etc.).
    • Consists of two atria and two ventricles, ensuring complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
    • Provides higher efficiency in oxygen transport, suitable for warm-blooded animals.
Additional Knowledge :
  • Rohu (Fish):

    • Belongs to the Pisces class. Has a two-chambered heart (one atrium and one ventricle).
    • Single circulation system (blood flows through the heart once per cycle).
  • Sparrow (Bird):

    • Birds have a four-chambered heart (two atria and two ventricles). Complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
  • Sting Ray (Fish):  where blood flows from the heart to the gills for oxygenation and then to the body.
