Chapter 42 Circulation and Gas Exchange
2
Label the heart vessels & valves Trace the flow of blood beginning with return through the Vena cava (list)
3
If you are only a couple of cell layers thick or very flat—a simple distribution system works just fine. Gastrovascular cavity in cnidarians Highly branched gastrovascular cavity in flatworms

Circulatory Systems Complex animals 2 types 3 basic components: 1. circulatory fluid (blood) 1. circulatory fluid (blood) 2. set of tubes (blood vessels) 2. set of tubes (blood vessels) 3. muscular pump (heart) 3. muscular pump (heart)
5
The 2 Types of Circulatory Systems: Open circulatory arthropods, mollusks circulatory fluid directly bathes cells--exchange hemolymph (blood & interstitial fluid) pumped into sinuses (spaces surrounding organs) through vessels Closed circulatory: blood confined to vessels; earthworm, squid, vertebrates
6
Cardiovascular system vertebrates vertebrates blood-circulatory fluid- circulates within vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) Chemical exchange at capillaries Within organs: Arteries arterioles capillary beds tissues – exchange venules veins tissues – exchange venules veins return blood to heart return blood to heart
7
Arteries: carry blood AWAY from the heart Veins: return blood TO THE HEART
8
The Vertebrate Heart Atria: receive blood returning to the heart Ventricles: pump blood out of the heart
9
Generalized Circulatory schemes Fish: 2-chambered heart (1 atrium & 1 ventricle); single circuit of blood flow. Heart-to gills picks up O2, eliminates CO2--to systemic capillaries—then back to heart. Disadvantage: low pressure from Gills
10
Generalized Circulatory schemes Amphibians: 3-chambered heart; 1 Ventricle, 2 Atria; 2 circuits of blood flow- (double circulation) 1.pulmocutaneous (lungs and skin); 2.systemic (some mixing of O2-rich and O2-poor blood occurs) Mammals, birds, crocodilians: 4-chambered heart; double circulation; complete separation between oxygen-rich and oxygen poor blood (2 ventricles)
11
The mammalian heart located beneath consists mostly of cardiac muscle. Two atria: relatively thin walls collection chambers for blood returning to the heart. The ventricles have thicker walls and contract much more strongly than the atria. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

13
Double circulation Advantage--Provides vigorous flow of blood- blood pumped through heart 2 TIMES From right ventricle to lungs via pulmonary arteries through semilunar valve (pulmonary circulation) Capillary beds in lungs to left atrium via pulmonary veins Left atrium to left ventricle (through atrioventricular valve) to aorta Aorta to coronary arteries; then systemic circulation Back to heart via two venae cavae (superior and inferior); right atrium
14
The mammalian heart Cardiac cycle: sequence of filling and pumping Systole- contraction Diastole- relaxation Cardiac output: volume of blood per minute Heart rate- number of beats per minute Stroke volume- amount of blood pumped with each contraction
15
Heart Valves Prevent backflow Keep blood moving in correct direction AV valves close at ventricular contraction Semilunar Valves: at the 2 arterial exits of the heart forced open at ventricular contraction (arteries stretch under this pressure) (arteries stretch under this pressure)
16
For a human at rest with a pulse of about 75 beat per minute, one complete cardiac cycle takes about 0.8 sec. (1) During the relaxation phase (atria and ventricles in diastole) lasting about 0.4 sec, blood returning from the large veins flows into atria and ventricles. (2) A brief period (about 0.1 sec) of atrial systole forces all the remaining blood out of the atria and into the ventricles. (3) During the remaining 0.3 sec of the cycle, ventricular systole pumps blood into the large arteries. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
17
Cardiac output depends on two factors: 1. the rate of contraction or heart rate (number of beats per second) and stroke volume, the amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in each contraction. The average stroke volume for a human is about 75 mL. Cardiac output can increase about fivefold during heavy exercise. Heart rate can be measured indirectly by measuring your pulse - the rhythmic stretching of arteries caused by the pressure of blood pumped by the ventricles.

18
A defect in one or more of the valves causes a heart murmur, which may be detectable as a hissing sound when a stream of blood squirts backward through a valve. born with damage to the valves by infection (rheumatic fever) Most heart murmurs do not reduce the efficiency of blood flow enough to warrant surgery.

19
Continuity and control of the heartbeat. Each cell has its own intrinsic contraction rhythm. Synchronized by the sinoatrial (SA) node, or pacemaker which sets the rate and timing at which all cardiac muscle cells contract. Located in the wall of the right atrium.

20
The cardiac cycle is regulated by electrical impulses that radiate throughout the heart. Cardiac muscle cells are electrically coupled by intercalated disks between adjacent cells. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fig. 42.7
21
(1) The SA node generates electrical impulses that spread rapidly (2) through the wall of the atria, making them contract in unison. Delayed by about 0.1 sec at the atrioventricular (AV) node, the relay point to the ventricle, allowing the atria to empty completely before the ventricles contract. (3) Specialized muscle fibers called bundle branches and Purkinje fibers conduct the signals to the apex of the heart and (4) throughout the ventricular walls. This stimulates the ventricles to contract from the apex toward the atria, driving blood into the large arteries. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
22
Impulses generated during the heart cycle produce electrical currents that are conducted through body fluids to the skin. Here, the currents can be detected by electrodes and recorded as an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
23
While the SA node sets the tempo for the entire heart, it is influenced by a variety of physiological cues. Two sets of nerves affect heart rate with one set speeding up the pacemaker and the other set slowing it down Heart rate is a compromise regulated by the opposing actions of these two sets of nerves. hormones. For example, epinephrine from the adrenal glands increases heart rate. . temperature and with exercise. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
24
arteries and veins have three similar layers. On the outside, a layer of connective tissue with elastic fibers allows the vessel to stretch and recoil. A middle layer has smooth muscle and more elastic fibers. Lining the lumen of all blood vessels, including capillaries, is an endothelium, a single layer of flattened cells that minimizes resistance to blood flow. 5.

Structural &function Capillaries lack the two outer layers and their very thin Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fig. 42.8
26
Arteries have thicker middle and outer layers than veins. strength to accommodate blood pumped rapidly and at high pressure by the heart. . Their elasticity (elastic recoil) helps maintain blood pressure even when the heart relaxes. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
27
The thinner-walled veins convey blood back to the heart at low velocity and pressure. Blood flows mostly as a result of skeletal muscle contractions when we move that squeeze blood in veins. Within larger veins, flaps of tissues act as one-way valves that allow blood to flow only toward the heart. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fig. 42.9
28
Blood Plasma: liquid matrix of blood in which cells are suspended (90% water) Erythrocytes (RBCs): transport O 2 via hemoglobin Leukocytes (WBCs): defense and immunity Platelets: clotting Stem cells: pluripotent cells in the red marrow of bones Blood clotting: fibrinogen (inactive)/ fibrin (active); hemophilia; thrombus (clot)
29
Cardiovascular disease Cardiovascular disease (>50% of all deaths) Heart attack- death of cardiac tissue due to coronary blockage Stroke- death of nervous tissue in brain due to arterial blockage Atherosclerosis: arterial plaques deposits Arteriosclerosis: plaque hardening by calcium deposits Hypertension: high blood pressure Hypercholesterolemia: LDL, HDL
30
Gas exchange CO 2 O 2 Aquatic: gills ventilationcountercurrent exchange Terrestrial: tracheal systems lungs
31
Mammalian respiratory systems Larynx (upper part of respiratory tract) Vocal cords (sound production) Trachea (windpipe) Bronchi (tube to lungs) Bronchioles Alveoli (air sacs) Diaphragm (breathing muscle)
32
Breathing Positive pressure breathing: pushes air into lungs (frog) Negative pressure breathing: pulls air into lungs (mammals) Inhalation: diaphragm contraction; Exhalation: diaphragm relaxation Tidal volume: amount of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath (500ml) Vital capacity: maximum tidal volume during forced breathing (4L) Regulation: CO 2 concentration in blood (medulla oblongata). Detects blood pH changes
33
Respiratory pigments: gas transport Respiratory Pigments Oxygen transport- Hemocyanin: found in hemolymph of arthropods and mollusks (Cu) Hemoglobin: vertebrates (Fe) Carbon dioxide transport- Blood plasma (7%) Hemoglobin (23%) Bicarbonate ions (70%) Deep-diving air-breathers- Myoglobin: oxygen storing protein
