Cardiovascular System & Blood Chapters 8 & 7
Cardiovascular system parts
Functions of cardiovascular system
Cardiovascular system: heart
What is the purpose of the heart valves?
AV valves
Double circuits – pulmonary – systemic
Flow of blood thru human circ sys. R ventricle (pulmonary circuit) pulmonary arteries lung capillaries pulmonary veins L atrium L ventricle (systemic circuit) aorta (branches) – coronary arteries, upper & lower body body capillaries vena cava (superior or inferior) R atrium R ventricle
Electrical activity of the heart the cardiac conduction system 1. sinoatrial (SA) node 2. AP reaches atrioventricular (AV) node
Electrical activity of the heart 3. AP enters atrioventricular (AV) bundle & branches 4. AP reaches Purkinje fibers
Conduction system of the heart
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) P wave: QRS complex: T wave:
Cardiac cycle the repeating pattern of contraction & relaxation of the heart – systole: – diastole:
Cardiac output determined by stroke volume... and heart rate
Cardiovascular system: blood vessels arteries veins capillaries
Cardiovascular system: blood vessels arteries
Cardiovascular system: blood vessels veins
Cardiovascular system: blood vessels capillaries
More on capillaries... interstitial fluid:
Comparison of blood vessels
BP decreases in BV the farther from the heart... arteries veins
Blood pressure two parts to a blood pressure reading – systolic pressure – diastolic pressure
High & low blood pressure High BP (hypertension) Low BP (hypotension)
Regulation of blood volume
Regulation of blood volume by kidneys
Cardiovascular disease all diseases of the heart and blood vessels
“Bad” & “Good” cholesterol “bad” cholesterol is LDL (low-density lipoprotein) “good” cholesterol is HDL (high-density lipoprotein)
Cardiovascular system: blood plasma ~ 55% formed elements ~ 45%
Cardiovascular system: plasma proteins albumins ~ 54% globulins ~ 38% fibrinogen ~7%
Hemopoiesis: blood cell formation
Hemopoiesis
Hemostasis: blood clotting
Injured blood vessel:
Red blood cell antigens & blood typing antigens:
Red blood cell antigens & blood typing antibodies
Antigens & antibodies of human blood types
Blood type & transfusions
Red blood cell antigens & blood typing Rh factor
Hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN)
