6.2 The blood system TOPIC 6 & 11: HUMAN & ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY
2
1- THE HEART BEATS Read & Consider 6.2.6-6.2.12 What do you know? What questions do you have? Label a diagram of the heart and indicate the flow of blood with arrows.
3
Blood Flow Unidirectional Valves Oxygenated vs. Deoxygenated Blood
4
Action of the Heart Diastole: the heart muscle is relaxed.
5
Systole: the heart muscle is contracting.
6
No Brain Required Myogenic: the heart beat is initiated by the heart muscle itself. It does not require external nerve input. Sino-atrial node (SA node) – pacemaker Atrio-ventricular node (AV node)
7
Myogenic Contraction Gardenrain.com SA node – generate an impulse that spread across both atria causing a simultaneous contraction. ≈ 70 bpm AV node – picks up the SA signal which travels to the apex and contracts the ventricles from the bottom up. Heartbeat
8
Autonomic Nervous System Medulla Oblongata Cardio-acceleratory center – linked to the SA node increase cardiac output. Cardio-inhibitory center – linked to the SA node, AV node and bundle of His decrease cardiac output.
9
Epinephrine (adrenaline) A hormone that travels through the transport system to the SA node. Epinephrine increases the rate which the SA node resets, therefore increasing heart rate. Decibel-design.com

2 - VESSELS Read & Consider 6.2.1-6.2.6 What do you know? What questions do you have?
11
Arteries & Veins
12
Capillaries Capillaries link arteries to vein and in turn help to deliver oxygenated blood to body tissues. No muscle No elastic tissue No valves One cell layer thick
