Regents Biology 2008-2009 Circulatory System in Animals
3
Regents Biology WHY DO WE NEED A CIRCULATORY SYSTEM?
4
Regents Biology TRANSPORT ! Unicellular organisms can remove wastes and absorb nutrients through their cell __________________ They are in direct contact with their environment
5
Regents Biology TRANSPORT ! Multicellular organisms have layers and layers of cells which are not in direct contact with the environment Developed a system to transport nutrients to cells and wastes away from cells The Circulatory System! What does it mean to circulate??
6
Regents Biology The job of the circulatory system is to transport nutrients to and remove wastes from cells
7
Regents Biology Human Circulation Includes: Blood: liquid transport material with cells Heart: a muscular pump to move the blood Blood vessels: arteries, capillaries and veins that deliver blood to all tissues
8
Regents Biology The Circulatory System Analogy The heart – the engine Blood vessels – the roads Blood – the bus
9
Regents Biology Misconceptions
10
THIS IS NOT YOUR HEART.
11
Regents Biology THIS IS YOUR HEART. About the size of your first.
12
Regents Biology While we’re on it… NEVER Your blood is NEVER blue.

14
Regents Biology Why do we need a circulatory system? supplies in fuel (sugars) digestive system oxygen respiratory system waste out CO 2 respiratory system need to pick up & deliver the supplies & wastes around the body circulatory system Feeding Energy Needs
15
Regents Biology Circulatory System Organ heart Tissues & cells blood vessels arteries veins capillaries blood red blood cells plasma (liquid)
16
Regents Biology Vertebrate Heart 4-Chambered heart atria (atrium) thin wall collection chamber receives blood ventricles thick wall pump pumps blood out right atrium left atrium right ventricle left ventricle

18
Regents Biology AV SL AV Lub-dub, lub-dub 4 valves in the heart flaps of tissue prevent backflow of blood Heart sounds closing of valves “Lub” force blood against closed AV valves “Dub” force of blood against semilunar valves Heart murmur leaking valve causes hissing sound blood squirts backward through valve

2008-2009 Have a heart? Ask Questions!!
21
Regents Biology 2008-2009 Circulatory System Blood Vessels
22
Regents Biology Study Skills - Vessels Arteries – A AWAY! Carry blood away from the heart Veins – return blood to the heart CapiLLaries – smaLLest blood vessels
23
Regents Biology Arteries: Built for their job Arteries blood flows away from heart thicker walls provide strength for high pressure pumping of blood elastic & stretchable
24
Regents Biology Coronary artery bypass bypass surgery
25
Regents Biology Veins: Built for their job Veins blood returns back to heart thinner-walled blood travels back to heart at low speed & pressure why low pressure? far from heart blood flows because muscles contract when we move squeeze blood through veins valves in large veins in larger veins one-way valves allow blood to flow only toward heart Open valve Blood flows toward heart Closed valve
26
Regents Biology
27
The veins have valves that prevent back-flow of blood.
28
Regents Biology Structure-function relationship Capillaries very thin walls allows diffusion of materials across capillary O 2, CO 2, H 2 O, food, waste body cell O2O2 food waste CO 2
29
Regents Biology Blood Flow Blood flows from the heart to large arteries which branch likes trees to smaller and smaller arteries At their narrowest vessels are capillaries where materials can be exchanged between cells and the blood Blood flows from small capillaries to small veins which meet up with other small veins to form large veins
30
Regents Biology Red Blood Cell in a Capillary Notice that one red blood cell can barely fit in a capillary! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/ 2f/A_red_blood_cell_in_a_capillary%2C_pancreatic_tiss ue_-_TEM.jpg/250px- A_red_blood_cell_in_a_capillary%2C_pancreatic_tissue _-_TEM.jpg
31
Regents Biology 2 part system Circulation to lungs blood gets O 2 from lungs drops off CO 2 to lungs brings O 2 -rich blood from lungs to heart Circulation to body pumps O 2 -rich blood to body picks up nutrients from digestive system collects CO 2 & cell wastes Circulation of Blood heart lungs body Circulation to lungs Circulation to body
32
Regents Biology Stops along the way… Lungs pick up O 2 / clean out CO 2 Small Intestines pick up nutrients from digested food Large Intestines pick up water from digested food Liver clean out worn out blood cells
33
Regents Biology More stops along the way… Kidneys filters out cell wastes (urea) extra salts, sugars & water Bone pick up new red blood cells Spleen pick up new white blood cells
34
Regents Biology Lymphatic System Returns lost fluid back to the blood Fluid lost is called lymph Lymph nodes (your glands) filter bacteria and dead cells out from the lymph Cause of “swollen glands”

2008-2009 Have a heart? Ask Questions!!
37
Regents Biology 2008-2009 Circulatory System Blood
38
Regents Biology Blood & blood cells Blood is a tissue of fluid & cells 1. plasma liquid part of blood dissolved salts, sugars, proteins, and more Cells 2. red blood cells (RBC) transports O 2 in hemoglobin 3. white blood cells (WBC) defense & immunity 4. platelets blood clotting
39
Regents Biology Blood Composition Plasma 55% (mostly water) Blood Cells 45%
40
Regents Biology Blood Cell Production ribs, vertebrae, breastbone & pelvis Stem cells “parent” cells in bone marrow develop into all the different types of blood cells red blood cells white blood cells white blood cells red blood cells white blood cells
41
Regents Biology Red blood cells Small round cells produced in bone marrow 5 liters of blood in body 5-6 million RBC in drop of human blood last 3-4 months (120 days) filtered out by liver ~3 million RBC destroyed each second
42
Regents Biology Red Blood Cells Do NOT have a nucleus Can NOT reproduce on their own, they only come from bone marrow Hemoglobin Protein which carries O 2 250,000 hemoglobin proteins in one red blood cell O2O2
43
Regents Biology White Blood Cells Largest blood cells About 8,000 per drop of blood Formed in the bone marrow or in the lymph tissue Protect the body against diseases by forming antibodies (a plan for killing antigens) or engulfing bacteria Antigen – foreign invader
44
Regents Biology
45
Types of White Blood Cells 1. Phagocytes - engulf bacteria and viruses by phagocytosis (see next slide) 2. Lymphocytes - produce antibodies which clump bacterial poisons or bacteria antibodies (a plan for killing antigens)
46
Regents Biology Remember: Phagocytosis
47
Regents Biology Platelets - Blood clotting protein fibers build the clot emergency repair of circulatory system platelets seal the hole chemical emergency signals
48
Regents Biology STUDY SKILLS Red blood cells – Are bowl shaped and carry Oxygen White blood cells – destroy foreign invaders, think of a doctors white lab coat! Platelets – form a PLATE over cuts to stop blood loss
49
Regents Biology 2008-2009 Have a heart? Ask Questions!!
50
Regents Biology Cardiovascular disease Atherosclerosis & Arteriosclerosis deposits inside arteries (plaques) develop in inner wall of the arteries, narrowing their channel increase blood pressure increase risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage normal arteryhardening of arteries
51
Regents Biology Heart Disease Heart disease and coronary artery disease are the leading causes of death in the US. Causes in most cases are unknown, although stress, obesity, high salt intake, and smoking can add to a genetic predisposition. No cure--may be treated by medication, exercise & diet. "Silent killer"--millions don't know they have it

56
Regents Biology Heart Disease Heart disease death rates 1996-2002 Adults ages 35 and older
57
Regents Biology Women & Heart Disease Heart disease is 3rd leading cause of death among women aged 25–44 years & 2nd leading cause of death among women aged 45–64 years. Risk factors Smoking Lack of exercise High fat diet Overweight Death rates for heart disease per 100,000 women, 2002
58
Regents Biology 3.) Stroke – interruption of blood flow to all or part of the brain -- may be caused by blockage to a blood vessel or a ruptured blood vessel
59
Regents Biology 4.) Leukemia -- white blood cell cancer -- many kinds Some Causes - virus, radiation, chemical exposure
60
