Cardiovascular System
2
Circulatory Functions: 1.To transport oxygen (O 2 ), nutrients (food), and waste products (like CO 2 ) throughout the body. 2. Carry cells that protect the body (wbc’s) Maintain homeostasis
3
Circulatory System Consists of: – –Blood (flows) – –Blood vessels (tubes) – –Heart (pumps)
4
Blood Blood cells are created by stem cells in your red bone marrow Liquid tissue
6
Parts of Blood 1. Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) carry CO 2 to the lungs & O 2 from lungs Contains hemoglobin (protein) binds to O 2 Increase oxygen capacity
7
Parts of Blood 2. White Blood Cells (leukocytes) Protect body against bacteria, viruses & foreign cells
8
Parts of Blood 3. Platelets Clot blood & repair damaged blood vessels
10
Cut: Allows blood to flow out and bacteria to come in! Platelets: carry an enzyme that and is released when come into contact with air or damaged cells.
11
Protein from platelets changes fibrinogen (soluble) into fibrin (insoluble) which creates a sticky net that traps rbc’s creating a plug (blood clot).
12
Clot hardens and becomes a scab protecting wound as skin heals below!
13
Parts of Blood 4. Plasma 55% of blood 90% H 2 O Lubricant
15
Blood Vessels Primary Job: Cycle blood from heart to organs Then back to heart.
17
Arteries Carry blood away from heart Oxygen “rich” A lot of muscle
18
Artery Structure
19
Veins Carry blood back to heart Valves control blood flow CO 2 rich
20
Vein Structure
21
Capillaries Connect arteries and veins Exchange of H 2 O, CO 2, O 2, waste Single cell wall thick
22
Capillaries
23
Heart Heart Beats:Heart Beats: 70 b/m x 60 m/h x 24 h/d x 365 d/y x 75 y/l = 2,759,400,000 beats per lifetime (if no variation in activity)
24
External Anatomy
25
The Heart ~ fist-sized, wt < 1lb~ fist-sized, wt < 1lb thoracic cavity, between the lungsthoracic cavity, between the lungs covered by pericardium- a protective sac of tissuecovered by pericardium- a protective sac of tissue Myocardium – thick layer of muscle in the heartMyocardium – thick layer of muscle in the heart
26
Location of Heart

Layers…

Myocardium
29
Simplified Blood Flow From Body (SVC, IVC) To Lungs (via pulmonary artery, past pulmonary semilunar valve) From Lungs (pulmonary v.) To Body (via aorta, past aortic semilunar valve) R.A. R.V. L.A. L.V. tricuspid valve bicuspid (mitral) valve
30
Blood Flow Through Heart
31
Blood Flow Through Body
33
Chambers, Vessels, Valves (cont’d) AV (atrioventricular) valvesAV (atrioventricular) valves – tricuspid – betw. RA & RV – bicuspid – betw. LA & LV Chordae tendinaeChordae tendinae – “heartstrings” – anchor flaps of valves to walls of ventricles
34
Cardiac Circulation Right and left coronary arteriesRight and left coronary arteries Inlet found in aorta just past aortic semilunar valveInlet found in aorta just past aortic semilunar valve Drained by coronary veins into coronary sinus into right atriumDrained by coronary veins into coronary sinus into right atrium
35
Coronary Arteries
36
CABG
37
Pathologies Angina pectorisAngina pectoris –Results from oxygen deprivation to heart muscle Myocardial infarctionMyocardial infarction –“heart attack” occurs when ischemic cells die
38
Heart Attack
39
Conduction System of Heart Controls and coordinates heart beatControls and coordinates heart beat Sinoatrial (SA) NodeSinoatrial (SA) Node – located in R. atrium Atrioventricular (AV) NodeAtrioventricular (AV) Node – located at junction of atrium and ventricle
40
Starts in SA node – sets the pace for the heart as a whole so called the “pacemaker” – –Atria contract Then goes to AV node and ventricles contract Conduction System of Heart
41
Conduction System
44
Detoxifying Blood Kidneys filter waste & remove excess H 2 O Liver removes toxins from blood
45
Lymphatic System:
46
Functions: To collect fluid that is lost by the circulatory system and return it. Lymph fluid Lymph vessels with valves like veins to prevent backflow.
47
Functions Continued: Lymph nodes- act as filters and producers of special wbc’s that prevent invasion. All lymph fluid returns to left subclavian vein (located under the left clavicle).
