Circulation & Respiration Chapter 42

Circulatory systems w Closed circulatory system w Vertebrates w Blood w Enclosed in blood vessels & heart w Lymph system w Interstitial fluid

Functions w 1. Transportation w Substances needed for cellular respiration w A. Respiratory – CO 2 and O 2 w B. Nutritive – glucose w C. Excretory – Metabolic wastes, ions, water

Functions w 2. Regulation – Hormones – Temperature regulation (Endotherms) w 3. Protection – Clotting • Proteins, platelets – Immune defense • WBC, AB

Components of the system w Heart w Blood vessels w Blood

Heart w 4 chambered w Separates systemic & pulmonary blood systems w Systemic circulation: w Blood flow in the body w Pulmonary circulation: w Blood flow between the heart & lungs

Circulation

Circulation

Heart structure w w w w Atrium Small chambers Receive blood Ventricles Larger chambers Pump blood from heart Septum Separates chambers

Septum

Heart structure w w w w w Valves Atrioventricular valves (AV) Between the atrium & ventricles Tricuspid---right Bicuspid or Mitral---left Semilumar valves Exits from the ventricles Aortic valve (L ventricle) Pulmonary valve (R ventricle)

Valves

Heart structure w w w Heart sounds “lub-dub” -valves closing “lub” closing of the AV valves “dub” closing of the semilunar valves Murmur: Abnormal heart sound

Heart structure w w w w Superior & inferior vena cava Brings blood to heart from body Pulmonary arteries Blood from right side of heart to lungs Pulmonary veins Returns blood from lungs to heart Aorta Blood goes from the heart to body

Heart structure w Coronary arteries w First branches off the aorta w Supply blood to the heart

Coronary arteries

Circulation

Path of Blood Flow

Blood flow w Vena cava w Right atrium w Tricuspid valve (AV) w Right ventricle w Pulmonary valve (semilunar) w Pulmonary artery w Lungs

Blood flow w Pulmonary veins w Left atrium w Mitral valve (AV) w Left ventricle w Aortic valve (semilunar) w Aorta

Blood flow

Blood flow w Cardiac cycle: w One cycle of heart filling & emptying w Diastole w Heart resting w Heart filling with blood w AV valves open w Semilunar valves closed

Diastole

Blood flow w Systole w Ventricles contracting w Pumping blood out of the heart w AV valves closed w Semilunar valves open

Systole

Blood pressure w Measurement of pressure of blood in the arteries w Systolic measures ventricular contraction w Diastolic measures ventricular resting w Sphygmomanometer or BP cuff w Brachial artery w 120/80 normal

Blood pressure

Cardiac output w Volume of blood pumped by left ventricle to the body per minute w 5 liters per minute w Depends on heart rate w Stroke volume w Amount of pumped out per contraction (70 ml)

Cardiac output w Increases with exercise w Increased HR w Better stroke volume

Blood pressure w w w w Cardiac output Flow resistance in the arteries Affect BP More constriction higher BP More dilation lower BP Baroreceptors Aorta & carotids Medulla oblongata

Blood pressure w Depends on blood volume w Decreased cardiac output w Decreased BP

Conduction w Depolarization of heart muscle stimulates contraction w Heart contains autogenic cells w Self stimulate w SA node (sinoatrial) w Pacemaker of the heart w Located in R atrium wall w Near the superior vena cava

Conduction w SA node w Causes atrium to contract w Sends signal to the AV node w AV (atrioventricular) node w Located in wall between R atrium & ventricle w Sends signal to the bundle of His

Contraction w Bundle of His w Sends signal to the Purkinje fibers w Ventricles contract w SA⇨AV⇨Bundle of His⇨Purkinje fibers

Conduction

Conduction

EKG w w w w Electrocardiogram Records electrical impulses of the heart P-wave First wave-atrium contraction QRS-wave Ventricles contracting T-wave Heart re-polarization

EKG or ECG

Vessels w Arteries, arterioles w Veins, venules w Capillaries w arteries⇨arterioles⇨capillaries⇨venules⇨veins

Capillaries

Blood vessels

Vessels w Structure (except capillaries) w Inner layer is endothelium w Next is a layer of elastic fibers w Smooth muscle layer w Connective tissue w Capillaries w Endothelium only

Arteries w w w Carry oxygen rich blood away from heart Arterioles: Smaller arteries Larger the artery More elastic & recoil as blood is pumped

Arteries w w w w Vasoconstriction: Contraction of smooth muscle in arterioles Decrease blood flow Vasodilation: Relaxation of smooth muscle Increase blood flow Precapillary sphincters: Regulate blood flow

Veins w w w w Carry oxygen poor blood to heart Venules Smaller veins Less smooth muscle Skeletal muscles constrict Help flow of blood to heart Venous valves: Help blood flow to heart prevent backflow

Capillaries w Passage of oxygen & nutrients w Into cells or extracellular fluids w Passage of carbon dioxide & wastes w From cells to blood

Blood

Blood Plasma (matrix) yellow Metabolites, wastes, hormones Ions Proteins Albumin (fluids), globulins (antibodies), fibrinogen (clots) w Cells w RBC, WBC, platelets w w w

Blood cells

Blood formation

RBC (erythrocyte) w w w w O 2 & CO 2 transport Hemoglobin (protein) Erythropoietin Hormone (Kidney ) Stimulates RBC production Erythropoiesis RBC production from stem cells Spleen, bone marrow & liver remove RBC

Heme

Hemoglobin

RBC

WBC (leukocyte) Larger than RBC Contain a nucleus Fights against infection & FB Interstitial fluid as well as blood Granulocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils w Non-granulocytes: lymphocytes, monocytes w w w

WBC

Platelets w Megakaryocyte (bone marrow) w Cell fragments w Clotting w First to site of injury w Fibrin (protein that forms clot)

Platelets

Clotting w Tissue damage w Platelets arrive w Cascade reactions start w Prothrombin changes to w Thrombin (enzyme) w Changes fibrinogen to fibrin w Forms clot

Fibrin

Blood w More RBC than WBC w Hematocrit w Measurement of RBC’s in the blood w RBC last about 120 days

Lymph system w Interstitial fluid w Fluid from blood plasma that leaves the capillaries w Surrounds the tissues w Lymph: w Returns to circulation via lymph system w Lymph nodes, lymph vessels & organs (spleen & thymus)

Edema w Swelling of tissues w Usually ankles or feet w Interstitial fluid cannot be returned w Low protein (albumin) w Liver disease w Heart disease w Pregnancy

Varicose veins w Too much blood in legs w Valves veins do not work

MI

Flutter

Atherosclerosis

Aneurysm

Infarct
