The heart rate, also called the pulse, is the number of beats per minute
The stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped in a single contraction The cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped into the systemic circulation per minute and depends on both the heart rate and stroke volume © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
20
Backflow of blood through a defective valve causes a heart murmur
The “lub-dup” sound of a heart beat is caused by the recoil of blood against the AV valves (lub) then against the semilunar (dup) valves Backflow of blood through a defective valve causes a heart murmur © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
21
Maintaining the Heart’s Rhythmic Beat
Some cardiac muscle cells are self-excitable, meaning they contract without any signal from the nervous system The sinoatrial (SA) node, or pacemaker, sets the rate and timing at which cardiac muscle cells contract Impulses that travel during the cardiac cycle can be recorded as an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The pacemaker is regulated by two portions of the nervous system: the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions The sympathetic division speeds up the pacemaker The parasympathetic division slows down the pacemaker The pacemaker is also regulated by hormones and temperature © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Blood fun facts It takes a drop of blood 20 to 60 seconds for one round-trip from and to the heart. We have approximately 100,000 miles of blood vessels Two million red blood cells die every second. The kidneys filter over 400 gallons of blood each day. The average life span of a single red blood cell is 120 days. There are 150 billion red blood cells in one ounce of blood Our hearts pump 48 million gallons of blood/year (in 10 oz. intervals) White blood cells only last 4-6 hours

Blood Pressure and Gravity
Blood pressure is generally measured for an artery in the arm at the same height as the heart Blood pressure for a healthy 20-year-old at rest is 120 mm Hg at systole and 70 mm Hg at diastole Fainting is caused by inadequate blood flow to the head Which animals are at greatest risk? © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Capillary Function Blood flows through only 510% of the body’s capillaries at a time Two mechanisms regulate distribution of blood in capillary beds Contraction of the smooth muscle layer in the wall of an arteriole constricts the vessel Precapillary sphincters control flow of blood between arterioles and venules Blood flow is regulated by nerve impulses, hormones, and other chemicals © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Fluid Return by the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system returns fluid that leaks out from the capillary beds Fluid, called lymph, reenters the circulation directly at the venous end of the capillary bed and indirectly through the lymphatic system The lymphatic system drains into veins in the neck Valves in lymph vessels prevent the backflow of fluid Lymph nodes are organs that filter lymph and play an important role in the body’s defense Edema is swelling caused by disruptions in the flow of lymph © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Erythrocytes Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are by far the most numerous blood cells They contain hemoglobin, the iron-containing protein that transports O2 Each molecule of hemoglobin binds up to four molecules of O2 In mammals, mature erythrocytes lack nuclei and mitochondria © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
45
Leukocytes There are five major types of white blood cells, or leukocytes: monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and lymphocytes They function in defense by phagocytizing bacteria and debris or by producing antibodies They are found both in and outside of the circulatory system © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Control of Breathing in Humans
In humans, the main breathing control centers are in two regions of the brain, the medulla oblongata and the pons The medulla regulates the rate and depth of breathing in response to pH changes in the cerebrospinal fluid The medulla adjusts breathing rate and depth to match metabolic demands The pons regulates the tempo © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
65
Sensors in the aorta and carotid arteries monitor O2 and CO2 concentrations in the blood
These sensors exert secondary control over breathing © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

69
Coordination of Circulation and Gas Exchange
Blood arriving in the lungs has a low partial pressure of O2 and a high partial pressure of CO2 relative to air in the alveoli In the alveoli, O2 diffuses into the blood and CO2 diffuses into the air In tissue capillaries, partial pressure gradients favor diffusion of O2 into the interstitial fluids and CO2 into the blood © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
70
Respiratory Pigments Respiratory pigments, proteins that transport oxygen, greatly increase the amount of oxygen that blood can carry Arthropods and many molluscs have hemocyanin with copper as the oxygen-binding component Most vertebrates and some invertebrates use hemoglobin In vertebrates, hemoglobin is contained within erythrocytes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
71
Hemoglobin A single hemoglobin molecule can carry four molecules of O2, one molecule for each iron- containing heme group CO2 produced during cellular respiration lowers blood pH and decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for O2; this is called the Bohr shift © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
