1. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slides 11.20 – 11.44 Seventh Edition Elaine N. Marieb Chapter 11 The Cardiovascular System Lecture Slides in PowerPoint by Jerry L. Cook

2. The Heart: Regulation of Heart Rate Slide 11.20 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Stroke volume usually remains relatively constant  Starling’s law of the heart – the more that the cardiac muscle is stretched, the stronger the contraction  Changing heart rate is the most common way to change cardiac output

3. The Heart: Regulation of Heart Rate Slide 11.21 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Increased heart rate  Sympathetic nervous system  Crisis  Low blood pressure  Hormones  Epinephrine  Thyroxine  Exercise  Decreased blood volume

4. The Heart: Regulation of Heart Rate Slide 11.22 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Decreased heart rate  Parasympathetic nervous system  High blood pressure or blood volume  Dereased venous return

5. The Vascular System Slide 11.24 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 11.8b

6. Differences Between Blood Vessel Types Slide 11.26 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Walls of arteries are the thickest  Lumens of veins are larger  Skeletal muscle “milks” blood in veins toward the heart  Walls of capillaries are only one cell layer thick to allow for exchanges between blood and tissue

7. Movement of Blood Through Vessels Slide 11.27 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Most arterial blood is pumped by the heart  Veins use the milking action of muscles to help move blood Figure 11.9

8. Capillary Exchange Slide 11.42 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Substances exchanged due to concentration gradients  Oxygen and nutrients leave the blood  Carbon dioxide and other wastes leave the cells

9. Capillary Beds Slide 11.28b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  True capillaries – exchange vessels  Oxygen and nutrients cross to cells  Carbon dioxide and metabolic waste products cross into blood Figure 11.10

10. Diffusion at Capillary Beds Slide 11.29 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 11.20

11. Pulse Slide 11.35 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Pulse – pressure wave of blood  Monitored at “pressure points” where pulse is easily palpated Figure 11.16

12. Blood Pressure Slide 11.36 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Measurements by health professionals are made on the pressure in large arteries  Systolic – pressure at the peak of ventricular contraction  Diastolic – pressure when ventricles relax  Pressure in blood vessels decreases as the distance away from the heart increases

13. Measuring Arterial Blood Pressure Slide 11.37 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 11.18

14. Comparison of Blood Pressures in Different Vessels Slide 11.38 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 11.17

15. Blood Pressure: Effects of Factors Slide 11.39b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Temperature  Heat has a vasodilation effect  Cold has a vasoconstricting effect  Chemicals  Various substances can cause increases or decreases  Diet

16. Factors Determining Blood Pressure Slide 11.40 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 11.19

17. Variations in Blood Pressure Slide 11.41 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Human normal range is variable  Normal  140–110 mm Hg systolic  80–75 mm Hg diastolic  Hypotension  Low systolic (below 110 mm HG)  Often associated with illness  Hypertension  High systolic (above 140 mm HG)  Can be dangerous if it is chronic

18. Developmental Aspects of the Cardiovascular System Slide 11.44 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  A simple “tube heart” develops in the embryo and pumps by the fourth week  The heart becomes a four-chambered organ by the end of seven weeks  Few structural changes occur after the seventh week
