Blood types Inherited from parents
What are the types of blood? Inherited from parents Determined by presence or absence of an antigen on the surface of the red blood cell 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
20
Check your knowledge of medical history...
In 1901, the Austrian immunologist Karl Landsteiner discovered that blood may be grouped into four main types. Based on the reaction that resulted when blood from different individuals were mixed. 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
21
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
Blood types Someone with type A antigen has B antibodies Someone with type B antigen has A antibodies Someone with type AB antigen has no antibodies Someone with type O antigen has A and B antibodies 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
22
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
Rh factor Rhesus (Rh) factor is an inherited trait that refers to a specific protein found on the surface of red blood cells (antigen). Blood used in transfusions must match donors for Rh status as well as for ABO blood type. Although Rh factor doesn't affect the patient’s health, it can affect pregnancy. 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
23
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
Rh factor In 1940, the Rh factor was discovered as a result of studying Rhesus monkeys. When blood from monkeys was injected into rabbits and guinea pigs, it clotted. 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
24
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
Rh factor If the blood has the protein, the patient is Rh positive. If the blood lacks the protein, the patient is Rh negative. Did you know??? 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
25
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
If the mom gets pregnant again with another Rh + positive, her anti Rh antibodies will attack the baby’s blood, causing ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS.

2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
32
Blood supply to the Heart – from CORONARY ARTERIES
Heart Sounds = lubb dupp Blood supply to the Heart – from CORONARY ARTERIES Heart Sounds = lubb dupp
33
Control of Heart Contractions
SA (sinoatrial) NODE = PACEMAKER Located in right atrium SA node sends out electrical impulse Impulse spreads over atria, making them contract Travels to AV Node AV (atrioventricular) NODE Conducting cell group between atria and ventricle Carries impulse to bundle of His
34
BUNDLE OF HIS Conducting fibers in septum Divides into R and L branches to network of branches in ventricles PURKINJE FIBERS Impulse shoots along Purkinje fibers causing ventricles to contract
37
Conduction system of heart beats

38
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
EKG…What exactly is it??? An EKG is a test that shows the electrical functions of the heart The P wave is left and right atrial depolarization(change in the cell's membrane potential to a more positive state) 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
39
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
QRS…What is it???? depolarization of the right and left ventricles of the human heart. 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
40
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
T Wave…what is it??? repolarization (or recovery) of the ventricles 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
41
What about abnormal EKGs???
Atrial Fibrillation: In AF, the heart's electrical signals don't begin in the SA node. Instead, they begin in another part of the atria or in the nearby pulmonary veins. The signals don't travel normally. They may spread throughout the atria in a rapid, disorganized way. This can cause the atria to fibrillate. 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
42
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
Abnormal EKG’s Ventricular Tachycardia: regular and fast heart rate that arises from improper electrical activity in the ventricles of the heart 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system

45
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
Arteries 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
46
Vessels of the circulatory system

Blood Pressure Surge of blood when heart pumps creates pressure against the walls of the arteries SYSTOLIC PRESSURE - measured during the contraction phase – (contraction phase of the heart is called systole) DIASTOLIC PRESSURE - measured when the ventricles are relaxed – (relaxation phase is called diastole) 2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
51
2.01 Remember the structures of the circulatory system
BP and Pulse sites Average systolic = 120 Average diastolic = 80 PULSE - alternating expansion and contraction of an artery as blood flows through it.
