1. Objective: You will be able to name and give the function of the blood components. Do Now: Read all of p. 943 Compare the circulatory system with a city

2. Transport Transport involves absorbing substances in the blood and circulating it through the body Materials that the blood carries includes dissolved and suspended materials

3. Blood Blood consists of the liquid plasma and a variety of cells Plasma is the liquid part of the blood –Mostly consists of water –Carries everything including wastes, CO 2, antibodies, etc… Does NOT carry O 2

4. Red Blood Cells (RBC) Carry oxygen –Hemoglobin on the RBC’s carry the O 2 –An RBC does not have a nucleus

5. Platelets Platelets are involved with clotting –Platelets near an injury rupture and release a chemical –This chemical causes an enzyme-controlled series of reactions to form a clot Platelets

6. White Blood Cells (WBC) White blood cells have a nucleus They fight off bacteria and viruses –These “bad things” are called antigens There are two types of WBC’s –Phagocytic WBC’s engulf the antigens –Lymphocytes make antibodies that attack the antigens

7. Phagocyte

8. Blood Vessels Arteries transport blood away from the heart –They have thick, muscular walls Veins transport blood to the heart –They have thin walls –Contain valves to prevent the backflow of blood Capillaries have walls that are only one cell thick –The exchange material with the blood and the intercellular fluid (ICF)

10. Intercellular Fluid (ICF) ICF surrounds all of the cells of the body and exchanges materials with the blood and the cells –It is mostly made up of water The ICF is picked up by lymph vessels and is now called lymph –Lymph vessels are one cell thick and contain valves

11. Tissue cell INTERSTITIAL FLUID Capillary Net fluid movement out Net fluid movement in Direction of blood flow

12. Capillary Red blood cell 15  m

13. Lymph The lymph vessels bring the lymph to lymph nodes Phagocytic WBC there, clean the lymph of bacteria and dead cells Once the lymph is cleaned, it is returned to the blood

14. RBC WBC

15. Figure 42.5 The mammalian heart: a closer look Right Atrium Left Atrium

16. The Heart It is a pump that sends blood throughout the body It is made of muscle we call cardiac muscle It is separated into left and right halves by the septum It has four chambers –Two atria receive the blood coming back to the heart –Two ventricles pump the blood out to the body

17. Figure 42.4 The mammalian cardiovascular system: an overview

18. Circulation types Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart Systemic circulation is the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back to the heart –Coronary circulation is a PART of systemic –Coronary supplies blood to the heart through coronary arteries

19. Back to the Heart The two atria receive blood returning to the heart –They are thin walled The ventricles pump blood out of the heart –They have very thick walls

22. Heart Dissection Find the four chambers of the heart Identify the flowing structures –Valves –Vena cava –Pulmonary artery –Pulmonary vein –Aorta You find these structures by using your fingers

23. Blood pressure Refers to the pressure on the arteries when the ventricles contract. The contraction period is called systole –Greatest pressure on the arteries The non-contraction period is called diastole –Lowest pressure on the arteries A blood pressure of 120/70 means: –Systolic number is 120 –Diastolic number is 70

28. Circulatory Malfunctions Cardiovascular diseases are malfunctions that affect the heart and blood vessels –High blood pressure is characterized by having high pressure on the arteries. It damages the arteries and weakens the heart –Heart attacks include Angina pectoris which is a partial blockage of a coronary artery Coronary thrombosis which is a complete blockage of a coronary artery

29. Malfunctions continued Blood conditions –Anemia is the inability of the blood to transport enough oxygen May be caused by low amount of hemoglobin or low amount of RBC’s –Leukemia is a cancer that affects the bone marrow. Blood is produced in the bone marrow. So this cancer is the uncontrolled production of nonfunctional WBC’s
