The Pulmonary and Systemic Circuits Heart is transport system; two side-by-side pumps Right side receives oxygen-poor blood from tissues Pumps to lungs to get rid of CO2, pick up O2, via pulmonary circuit Left side receives oxygenated blood from lungs Pumps to body tissues via systemic circuit © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Heart Valves Ensure unidirectional blood flow through heart Open and close in response to pressure changes Two atrioventricular (AV) valves Prevent backflow into atria when ventricles contract Tricuspid valve (right AV valve) Mitral valve (left AV valve, bicuspid valve) Chordae tendineae anchor cusps to papillary muscles Hold valve flaps in closed position © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 18.7 The atrioventricular (AV) valves. Blood returning to the heart fills atria, pressing against the AV valves. The increased pressure forces AV valves open. 1 Direction of blood flow Atrium Cusp of atrioventricular valve (open) As ventricles fill, AV valve flaps hang limply into ventricles. 2 Chordae tendineae Atria contract, forcing additional blood into ventricles. 3 Papillary muscle Ventricle AV valves open; atrial pressure greater than ventricular pressure Atrium Cusps of atrioventricular valve (closed) Ventricles contract, forcing blood against AV valve cusps. 1 2 AV valves close. Blood in ventricle Papillary muscles contract and chordae tendineae tighten, preventing valve flaps from everting into atria. 3 AV valves closed; atrial pressure less than ventricular pressure © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 18.8 The semilunar (SL) valves. Aorta Pulmonary trunk As ventricles contract and intraventricular pressure rises, blood is pushed up against semilunar valves, forcing them open. Semilunar valves open As ventricles relax and intraventricular pressure falls, blood flows back from arteries, filling the cusps of semilunar valves and forcing them to close.

Homeostatic Imbalance Two conditions severely weaken heart: Incompetent valve Blood backflows so heart repumps same blood over and over Valvular stenosis Stiff flaps – constrict opening  heart must exert more force to pump blood Valve replaced with mechanical, animal, or cadaver valve © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
