Functions:
• A closed system of the heart and blood vessels– The heart pumps blood– Blood vessels allow blood to circulate to
all parts of the body
• to deliver oxygen and nutrients to and remove carbon dioxide and other waste products from the bodies tissues

Blood Vessels: Types• Taking blood to the tissues and back
– Arteries - large, thickest walled, carry blood away from heart, blood is moved by the pumping of the heart
– Arterioles - smaller, thinner walled, carry blood away from heart, blood is moved by pumping of the heart
– Capillaries - smallest, thinnest vessels, one cell layer thick, site of exchange of materials between the blood and body tissues
– Venules - thinner walled vessels, carry blood back towards heart
– Veins - thin walled vessels, large lumen, have valves present which keep blood moving in one direction, blood is moved by “milking” action due to the contraction of skeletal muscles

Structure of Vessels• Three layers (tunics)
– Tunic interna• Endothelium• Lines interior of vessels• Decreases friction from blood flow
– Tunic media• Smooth muscle• Middle layer• Changes diameter of vessels • Controlled by sympathetic nervous system
– Tunic externa• Mostly fibrous connective tissue• External layer• Supports and protects vessels

Blood Movement Through Veins
• Blood is squeezed forward through vein when skeletal muscles contract
• A valve opens allowing blood to fill chambers
• Valves close when backflow of blood occurs, preventing blood from going backwards
![Page 8: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Capillaries
• Only one cell layer thick, just tunica interna
• Due to thinness exchanges can be made across the membrane between the blood and tissues
• Microcirculation – blood flow moves from arteries into capillaries where materials are exchanged, then into veins
![Page 9: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Capillary Transport Mechanisms
• 4 routes for materials to cross the capillary walls– Diffusion across the plasma membrane– Endocytosis/Exocytosis– Intercellular clefts – gaps in plasma membrane– Fenestrated capillaries – mainly areas of filtration
and absorption (like intestines or kidneys)
• Intercellular clefts and fenestrated capillaries depend on osmotic pressure in interstitial fluid surrounding capillaries

Great Vessels of Heart• Aorta (largest blood vessel in the body)
– Leaves left ventricle, carries oxygenated blood to all parts of the body
• Pulmonary arteries– Leave right ventricle, carries deoxygenated blood to the
lungs• Vena cava (Superior and Inferior)
– Enters right atrium– superior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the
upper part of the body– inferior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the
lower part of the body• Pulmonary veins (four)
– Enter left atrium, brings oxygenated blood from the lungs • Ligamentum Arteriosum
– ligament between aorta and pulmonary trunk that holds the vessels in place

Coronary Blood Supply
• Blood in the heart chambers does not nourish the myocardium
• The heart has its own nourishing circulatory system– Coronary arteries– Cardiac veins– Blood empties into the right atrium via the
coronary sinus

The Heart’s Pace Maker: Regulation of Heartbeat
Special tissue sets the pace
• Sinoatrial node– Pacemaker
• Atrioventricular node• Atrioventricular bundle• Bundle branches• Purkinje fibers
• Contraction is initiated by the sinoatrial node
• Sequential stimulation occurs at other autorhythmic cells Fibrillation results when SA node
is not working properly.
![Page 25: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

ECG: Electrocardiagram• This graph shows the electrical changes which occur when the
muscles of the heart wall depolarize and repolarize.
![Page 26: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
ECG: Electrocardiogram
• The first little upward notch of the ECG tracing is called the "P wave." The P wave indicates that the atria (the two upper chambers of the heart) are contracting to pump out blood.
• The next part of the tracing is a short downward section connected to a tall upward section. This next part is called the "QRS complex." This part indicates that the ventricles (the two lower chambers of the heart) are contracting to pump out blood to the body.
![Page 27: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
ECG: Electrocardiogram
• The next short upward segment is called the "ST segment." The ST segment indicates the amount of time from the end of the contraction of the ventricles to the beginning of the rest period before the ventricles begin to contract for the next beat.
• The next upward curve is called the "T wave." The T wave indicates the resting period of the ventricles.
![Page 28: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Cardiac Cycle
• Atria contract simultaneously• Atria relax, then ventricles contract• Systole = contraction• Diastole = relaxation• Cardiac cycle – events of one complete heart
beat– Mid-to-late diastole – blood flows into ventricles– Ventricular systole – blood pressure builds before
ventricle contracts, pushing out blood– Early diastole – atria finish re-filling, ventricular
pressure is low

Cardiac Output
• The amount of blood pumped out by each side of the heart in 1 minute.
• Stroke volume – the volume of blood pumped out by a ventricle with each heartbeat.
• Heart rate – the number of heart beats per minute
• CO = HR x SV

Blood Pressure• 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
• 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

Diseases and Disorders of the Cardiovascular System
Myocardial infarction: heart attack• blockage of coronary artery which
supplies the myocardium• cardiac muscle dies causing the heart
not to function properly• can be due to formation of deposits
of cholesterol and lipids called plaques, blood clots called thrombus, or an embolism which is a blood clot that forms somewhere else in the body, breaks free and lodges in a coronary artery stopping the flow of blood
Angina pectoralis: sharp pain radiating into the left arm and /or neck accompanied by a feeling of pressure within the chest - a classic symptom of problems with blood flow to the heart muscle itself

38
Diseases and Disorders of the Cardiovascular System
• Congestive Heart Failure: Cardiac decompensation causes blood circulation to become inadequate tissues don’t get the support needed to supply oxygen and carry out wastes
• Ectopic Focus – the sinoatrial node doesn’t work properly causing abnormal pacing
• Fibrillation – condition in which the heart becomes uncoordinated and can no longer function as a pump
• Heart Block – the atrioventricular nodes are damaged • Incompetent valve – one or more valves in the heart
become damaged causing blood to leak back through (no longer one way flow)
• Pulmonary congestion – initial condition when the left side of the heart fails (blood still pumping through right side, but gets backed up when left side stops pumping.)

Red Blood Cells• Anucleate – no nucleus (unable to grow and
divide)• Live about 100-120 days – remains eliminated
by spleen and liver• Developing RBCs divide many times and begin
hemoglobin synthesis– After enough hemoglobin produced, the cell ejects the
nucleus and organelles causing the cell to collapes inward (concave shape) (takes 3-5 days)
• RBC production controlled by hormone erythropoietin– Production not based on number of RBCs, based on
amount of oxygen in blood

Blood Mini-Lab
• Obtain prepared slide of blood
• Identify and sketch at least 5 different formed elements (use color pencils)– You’ll sketch 1 picture – please see me to get
approval for your drawing BEFORE you draw!
• Analysis: – Explain the differences between the various
white blood cells you saw in your slide.

Hematopoiesis
• Blood cell formation
• Occurs in red bone marrow– Skull, pelvis, ribs, sternum, humerus and
femur
• All formed elements from hemocytoblast (stem cell)– Lymphoid stem cell: produces lymphocytes– Myeloid stem cell: produces all other formed
elements

Hemostasis
• Stoppage of blood flow
• Result of a break in a blood vessel
• Hemostasis involves three phases– Platelet plug formation– Vascular spasms– Coagulation
![Page 55: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Hemostasis: Platelet Plug Formation
• Collagen fibers are exposed by a break in a blood vessel
• Platelets become “sticky” and cling to fibers
• Anchored platelets release chemicals to attract more platelets
• Platelets pile up to form a platelet plug
• Positive Feed-back Mechanism
![Page 56: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Hemostasis: Vascular Spasms
• Anchored platelets release serotonin
• Serotonin causes blood vessel muscles to spasm
• Spasms narrow the blood vessel, decreasing blood loss
![Page 57: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
Hemostasis: Coagulation
• Injured tissues release thromboplastin• PF3 (a phospholipid) interacts with
thromboplastin, blood protein clotting factors, and calcium ions to trigger a clotting cascade
• Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin (an enzyme)
• Thrombin joins fibrinogen proteins (water soluble) into hair-like fibrin (insoluble in water)
• Fibrin forms a meshwork (the basis for a clot)

Blood Groups• What happens if blood loss occurs?
– 15-30% = weakness– >30% = shock & possible death
• Classifications: – Based on proteins (antigens) of plasma
membrane– Antibodies act to agglutinate (clump) and lyse
foreign RBCs because of the antigens– 2 groups: ABO types & Rh types
![Page 61: 1 The Cardiovascular System. 2 Objectives: Describe the functions of the cardiovascular system List and describe the structure of the types of blood vessels](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f1f5503460f94c37b89/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Blood Groups
• Transfusions of wrong blood type can cause death. If wrong blood type is given: – Antibodies recognize foreign antigens causing
clumping– Clogs small vessels throughout body– A few hours later, RBCs are lysed and
hemoglobin is released into blood (hemolysis)– Released hemoglobin blocks kidneys causing
kidney failure

Diseases and Disorders of the Blood
• Hemophilia: a genetic disorder due to the fact that there is a clotting factor missing necessary for clot formation to stop bleeding.
• can bleed to death from simple injuries or bruising of the body
• more common in males than females (sex-linked)

Diseases and Disorders of the Blood
• Leukemia: cancer of the bone marrow which produces blood cells
• many different forms of this disease depending upon which type of blood stem cells are involved
• the cells typically do not mature and inhibit the production of other types of blood cells necessary for survival

Diseases and Disorders of the Blood
• Anemia: due to the lack of Erythrocytes or low levels of hemoglobin in erythrocytes, or abnormal erythrocytes (sickle cell)
• inhibits the proper transport of oxygen in the body
• several forms of anemia
