Circulation & Blood
2
Body is made of cells Cells various need chemicals Circulatory system: made of your blood, blood vessels, and heart Blood delivers oxygen, water, and food to the rest of your body Blood picks up the cell’s waste products Carbon dioxide, water, etc blood travels through a series of tubes: Blood vessels Heart pumps the blood through the vessels
3
Not all animals have circulatory systems Simple animals: Sponge, sea anemone, hydra, etc. Bodies are only a few cells thick Allows water to move in and out Every part of their body comes in contact with water Oxygen and other nutrients diffuse into the cells Waste products (like carbon dioxide) diffuse out Complex animals Earthworms, insects, etc. Many layers of cells and tissues
4
Complex animals Earthworms, insects, etc. Many layers of cells and tissues Closed Circulatory System: Has blood vessels and a heart Example: earthworm Open Circulatory System: Has heart but no blood vessels Blood moves around without a blood vessel to guide it
5
Heart: muscle that pumps blood through the body Two sides: Two separate pumps (left & right) Each side has a small chamber on the top and large chamber on the bottom This is a cut-away sections of the inside of the heart The bright red and bright blue colors represent blood inside the heart The pink represents heart muscle
6
Small chambers on the top are called Right atrium Left atrium Large chambers on the bottom are called ventricles Right ventricle Left ventricle This is a cut-away sections of the inside of the heart The bright red and bright blue colors represent blood inside the heart The pink represents heart muscle
7
Heart pumps by squeezing Muscle contractions At rest: ~60-80 beats per minute Running: ~150 beats per minute Beat=each pump of the heart Circulatory system= one way street Heart muscle will pump more than 2 billion times in your life time
8
Artery- a large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart Vein- large blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart
9
1- blood from the veins enter the right and left atria No pumping here 2-Atria pump/squeeze Right and left ventricles relax –not pumping Receive blood from the atria 3-Right and left ventricles squeeze blood into two large arteries- one leading to the body and one leading to the lungs
10
Blood returns from the body and enters the atria Cycle starts over
11
Valves- flaps in the heart that keep blood flowing in one direction 1 set of valves between the atria & ventricles Tricuspid valve: valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle Bicuspid valve: valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle Valves-one way doors These only flow down
12
Semilunar Valves: between the ventricles and their arteries One way doors Only flow upward away from the ventricle Sounds of your heart beat- caused by the valves closing
13
Heart has two sounds Both sets of valves close at different times First sound: closing of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves Ventricles squeeze these valves close= lub Second Sound: closing of the semilunar valves Occur when the ventricles stop squeezing=dub Together =lub dub
14
Sounds other than lub dub indicate a valve working incorrectly Example: lub swish dub Results from either the tricuspid or bicuspid valves not closing properly Example: lub dub swish Results from the semilunar valves not closing properly
15
Pumps blood to your lungs 1- blood enters the right side of the heart through the vena cava Vena Cava: largest vein in the body which carries blood from the body back to the heart Blue color used to show deoxygenated blood 2- blood is pumped into the right ventricle 3- blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery Pulmonary Artery: carries blood away from the heart to the lungs Divides in two (you have two lungs) Blood makes its way to the lungs
16
4-Blood gets oxygen from the lungs Blood gets rid of the carbon dioxide 5- blood returns to the left atrium through the Pulmonary Veins Pulmonary Veins: carry blood from the lungs to the left side of the heart Approximately 10 seconds
17
Pumps blood to your body 1- oxygenated blood arrives in the left atrium From the lungs 2- blood gets pumped into the left ventricle 3-blood is pumped into the aorta Aorta: largest artery in the body Branches to the body and head 4-body parts receive the oxygenated blood 5- deoxygenated blood returns to the right atrium
18
Right side: contains a lot of carbon dioxide Left side: contains a lot of oxygen
20
Carry blood away from the heart Round Thick walls Muscle cells Aorta- can be as wide as a garden hose! Get thinner as they branch into smaller/thinner blood vessels as they carry blood away from the heart
21
Blood Pressure: force created when blood pushes against the walls of vessels Your pulse: blood moving through your arteries Summary: Carry blood away from the heart Under high pressure Round, with thick muscular walls
22
Carries blood back to the heart Have less muscle than arteries Thinner Sometimes flat in shape Contain one-way valves Keep blood flowing towards your heart Low pressure
23
Capillary: the smallest blood vessels Very narrow Only one cell thick Most abundant blood vessel in your body Bring blood close to every body cell Deliver: Oxygen, food, or other materials to body cells Pick-up: Waste chemicals (like CO 2 )
24
Blood pressure measurement Two measurements taken Maximum pressure (systolic) Ventricles pumping Minimum pressure (diastolic) Ventricles not pumping Normal: 120/80 Arteries can contract Blood moves at a higher pressure
25
Hypertension: when blood pressure is extremely high Arteries are too narrow for easy movement of blood Might not know you have it Causes damage to body organs Makes the heart work harder Could make blood vessels burst Stroke Treatment: Diet and/or exercise Medicine
26
Effected by diet: Too much salt Cholesterol: fatlike chemical found in certain foods Coats insides of arteries Narrows arteries- raising blood pressure
27
Heart is made of muscle Heart cells need: Oxygen Nutrients Has its own blood vessels that deliver these Coronary vessels: blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart itself Heart Attack: death of a section of the heart muscle Caused by a blockage which causes blood to not reach part of the heart
28
Too much dies= heart cannot pump properly If blood cannot deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to the body death can occur
29
Exercise, proper diet, and no smoking Exercise: Works your heart muscle Makes your heart stronger Proper diet: Avoid being over weight Puts strain on your heart Fat forms around the heart Heart works harder to pump Healthy diet helps avoid extra cholesterol intake 200 mg of cholesterol or less daily http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/foods-highest- in-cholesterol.php http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/foods-highest- in-cholesterol.php
30
NO Smoking People who smoke are more likely to have heart problems Nicotine- chemical in tobacco smoke Causes blood vessels to narrow Causes the heart to work harder When diet and exercise do not help Prescription drugs- lower cholesterol Bypass Surgery- take blood vessel from another part of your body to make a new path to your heart Heart transplant
31
Transplant statistics 121,264 on the transplant waiting list 3,202 waiting on heart transplant 69 waiting on heart AND lung transplant Artificial hearts Used temporarily until transplant heart is available Can lengthen survival by 600 days First successful artificial heart transplant 1982
32
Artificial hearts
33
Blood- part liquid and part cells Functions: Delivers nutrients Water, vitamins, minerals, & nutrients from fats, carbs, & proteins Delivers oxygen Delivers messages in the form of chemicals Removes waste products Carbon dioxide lungs Chemical waste kidneys Removes excess body heat skin
34
Other functions: Fight diseases Stop bleeding
35
Not all animals have blood Examples: Sponges Jelly fish Flat worms Most animals without blood live in water Water acts like their “blood”
36
Plasma: nonliving, yellow liquid part of the blood 92% - water 8% - Blood proteins Nutrients Salts Waste chemicals Pick up and delivery by the blood is done by the plasma Deep red= red blood cells Yellow= plasma In between= white blood cells & platelets
37
Red Blood Cells: cells in the blood that carry oxygen to the tissues Make up most of the blood ~5 million cells in one drop of blood Living portion of the blood Round Only have a nucleus when first formed- but is lost as the cell matures Life span= 120 days
38
Red Blood Cells cont. Made in bone marrow Bone Marrow: soft center part of the bone
39
Transport oxygen Hemoglobin: protein in red blood cells that joins with oxygen Gives the red color Contains iron Anemia: condition when there are too few red blood cells in the blood Occurs due to a lack of or too little iron Symptoms: weak feeling, tired, short of breath Due to receiving too little oxygen Carries oxygen
40
White Blood Cells: cells in the blood that destroy harmful microbes, remove dead cells, and make proteins that help prevent disease Part of the living portion of blood Contain a nucleus Larger than red blood cells Life span: 10 days Can live for months-years ~8,000 white blood cells in one drop of blood Made in bone marrow Also made in the spleen, thymus gland, and tonsils
41
Can travel out of the capillaries To the body cells
42
Fight infection WBC move to the site of infection to destroy bacteria and/or other foreign invaders During infection WBC #’s increase After infection WBC #’s return to normal Remove dead cells consume dead cells
43
Leukemia: blood cancer where the number of white blood cells increase at an abnormally fast rate.
44
Difference between leukemia and the rise of WBC’s due to infection: Leukemia: WBC count can reach 100,000 or more in 1 drop of blood # of WBC does not return to normal When cells form in large numbers they are not normal cells Cannot do their jobs like normal WBC Infection: WBC count can reach up 30,000 in 1 drop of blood # of WBC eventually returns to normal
45
Platelets: cell parts that aid in forming blood clots living part of the blood Much smaller than RBC Injury platelets break apart release chemical chemical starts formation of clot
46
250,000 in 1 drop of blood Life span= 5 days Made in the bone marrow Problems with platelets: Too few platelets Blood cannot clot Platelets lack clotting chemical Causes hemophilia Hemophilia: disease where a person’s blood won’t clot Minor cuts and bruises very dangerous
47
Four main blood types: A, B, AB, & O Difference? Proteins found on the red blood (antigens) cell and the plasma (antibodies)
49
Immune System: made of proteins, cells, and tissues that identify and defend the body against foreign chemicals and organisms Tonsils, thymus gland, lymph nodes, spleen, lymph vessels and fluid, bone marrow Teardrops, mucus, and skin are included Antibodies: chemicals that helps destroy bacteria or viruses Antigens: promotes production of antibodies Foreign objects: toxins, bacteria, foreign blood cells, and the cells of transplanted organs
