Heart's Circulatory Loops for a fish, reptile, and amphibian!??
Fish: The unoxygenated blood is pumped through the 2 chambered heart to the gills then the rest of the body. One Loop.





Amphibians: The unoxygenated blood enters the right atrium then to the single ventricle then to the lungs (one loop). It come back to the left atrium, then the same ventricle and then to the body (second loop).





Reptiles: Same as the amphibians except the ventricle is partially divided by a structure called a septum. 2 Loops.
Reply:Fish: two-chambered heart, single loop


Reptile: three-chambered, double loop (their circulatory system is a little better than amphibians')


Amphibian: three-chambered, double loop
