Functions of the Circulatory System Brings blood containing oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells Transports CO2 and other wastes away from cells

Functions Continued Fights infection Regulates body temperature Helps stabilize pH and ionic concentration of body fluids.

Cardiac Cycle Refers to all of the events from the beginning of one heart beat to the beginning of the next heart beat When cardiac muscle contracts it does so as a single unit, creating a heart beat One heartbeat - a cardiac cycle - consists of two parts called systole and diastole

Cardiac Cycle Diastole is the period of time when the heart relaxes after contraction Oxygenated blood from the lungs fills the left atrium Deoxygenated blood from other parts of the body fills the right atrium. At the end of the diastole, the atria contract, starting the Systole

Cardiac Cycle The term systole is synonymous with contraction of a muscle. Atrial systole is the contraction of the heart muscle of the left and right atria. Both atria contract at the same time, sending blood into the corresponding ventricle Ventricular systole is the contraction of the muscles of the left and right ventricles, which contract at the same time. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/ADN_animation.gif&imgrefurl=http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Human_Physiology/Print_Version&h=313&w=181&sz=1029&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=PQleQxY_3NWqoM:&tbnh=117&tbnw=68&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvasoconstriction%2Banimation%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN

Cardiac Cycle During systole the ventricles contract, forcing the blood into the pulmonary artery to be re-oxygenated in the lungs, and into the aorta for systemic distribution of oxygenated blood http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.dpcweb.com/images/medicalconditions/heartattack/circulation%2520of%2520heart_2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.dpcweb.com/medical/heartdisease/cardiac_cycle.html&h=211&w=150&sz=6&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=xrFKa5eJUC9IfM:&tbnh=106&tbnw=75&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddiastole%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN

Cardiac Cycle Heart Sounds “Lub”- sound- due to closure of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid) “Dub”- sound- due to closure of the aortic valve and pulmonary valve Two normal heart sounds with each heart beat described as a….. http://www.enter.net/~fsadr/ds.gif

Cardiac Cycle Heart Rate - count of each heart beat On average, a heart beats 72 times a minute when at rest Usually it is calculated as number of contractions of heart (heart beats) in one minute and expressed as "beats per minute" (bpm). The pulse is the most straightforward way of measuring the heart rate Heart rate is controlled by nervous system http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/jza0112l.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/h/heart_rate_gifts.asp&h=400&w=366&sz=23&hl=en&start=7&um=1&tbnid=cCwC5iNwx-WVXM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=113&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dheart%2Brate%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://trc.ucdavis.edu/biosci10v/bis10v/week10/blood.gif&imgrefurl=http://trc.ucdavis.edu/biosci10v/bis10v/week10/06circulatorysystem.html&h=540&w=720&sz=70&hl=en&start=129&um=1&tbnid=B1DRAhnggWJN0M:&tbnh=105&tbnw=140&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblood%2Bmoving%2Banimation%26start%3D120%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN Hearse on an emergency

Cardiac Cycle Sympathetic division increases heart rate Parasympathetic division decreases heart rate Heart rate increases when more food and oxygen are needed by the cells, or when under stress http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.utmedicalcenter.org/adam/graphics/images/en/18138.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.utmedicalcenter.org/encyclopedia/18138.htm&h=320&w=400&sz=13&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=VQC7J9dHisOwoM:&tbnh=99&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dheart%2Brate%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.thefinalsprint.com/images/2006/12/heart-rate.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.thefinalsprint.com/2006/12/running-and-the-maximum-heart-rate-formula/&h=200&w=200&sz=8&hl=en&start=18&um=1&tbnid=fVjhpTvDUZD1rM:&tbnh=104&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dheart%2Brate%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN Resting heart rate can be significantly lower in athletes

Cardiac Cycle An electrocardiogram abbreviated as EKG or ECG is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat or one cardiac cycle. http://www.matthewcwiggins.com/images/animatedheart.gif

Cardiac Conduction System Why don’t the atria and ventricles contract at the same time? Inefficient…. Blood would not be moved in one direction, some would flow backwards http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://acousticheart.com/library/HeartBeatingAnimation.gif&imgrefurl=http://acousticheart.com/learning_heart_and_lung_sounds.html&h=155&w=150&sz=59&hl=en&start=41&um=1&tbnid=XTtO99cxr5BobM:&tbnh=97&tbnw=94&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbeating%2Bheart%2Banimation%26start%3D40%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN

Cardiac Conduction System Sinoatrial Node (SA node) Located high on the right atrium. Pacemaker of the heart. Causes the wave of contractions in the atria. Sending blood into the ventricles

Cardiac Conduction System Atrioventricular Node (AV node) Located in the interatrial septum close to the tricuspid valve Carries the electrical impulse from the SA node to fiber bundles in the ventricles. This causes the ventricles to contract The location of nerve fiber bundles cause the ventricles to contract from the apex (bottom) up squeezing blood up and out

Pathway of Circulation Oxygen-poor blood draining from the body through veins into the superior and inferior vena cava flows to the right atrium, through the tricuspid valve, and into the right ventricle. As the right ventricle contracts, oxygen-poor blood passes through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary arteries and on to the lungs to receive oxygen. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Heart_labelled_large.png

Pathway of Circulation Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the heart through the pulmonary veins, passing into the left atrium. Then through the mitral valve to the left ventricle. Contraction of the left ventricle forces blood through the aortic valve into the aorta. Various arteries branch off from the aorta to supply blood to all parts of the body.

Pathway of Circulation Nutrients pass into tissues Waste products filter back Blood pumped out of heart into arteries, which branch into smaller and smaller vessels until blood flows into capillaries Blood returns to the heart through the veins Heart Capillary network Arteries branch into smaller and smaller vessels (arterioles) They eventually become capillaries, which supply blood to all body parts Capillaries merge into (venuoles) which join into veins and carry blood back to the heart.

Pulmonary Circulation Takes place on the right side of the heart. Pumps blood low in oxygen to the lungs to pick up oxygen and return to heart http://trc.ucdavis.edu/biosci10v/bis10v/week10/pulmonarycirc.gif http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://acousticheart.com/library/HeartBeatingAnimation.gif&imgrefurl=http://acousticheart.com/learning_heart_and_lung_sounds.html&h=155&w=150&sz=59&hl=en&start=41&um=1&tbnid=XTtO99cxr5BobM:&tbnh=97&tbnw=94&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbeating%2Bheart%2Banimation%26start%3D40%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN

Systemic Circulation Takes place on left side of heart Oxygenated blood is pumped to the body cells thru the aorta and other arteries Blood low in oxygen returns to the heart http://www.besttreatments.co.uk/btuk/images/circluation_animation.gif http://academic.kellogg.cc.mi.us/herbrandsonc/bio201_McKinley/f22-1_cardiovascular_sy_c.jpg

Coronary Circulation The coronary circulation consists of the blood vessels that supply blood to, and remove blood from the heart muscle itself. Although blood fills the chambers of the heart, the muscle tissue of the heart is so thick that it requires coronary blood vessels to deliver blood deep into the myocardium.

Coronary Circulation The vessels that supply blood high in oxygen to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/J-Kama-Ka-C/jcian/89bd50cf.jpg http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/LIF/LIF125/3D509010.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.fotosearch.com/LIF125/3d509010/&h=300&w=218&sz=19&hl=en&start=66&um=1&tbnid=xw0dlbuUNHVWeM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=84&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcoronary%2Bvessels%26start%3D60%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3DGGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en%26sa%3DN
