    The document summarizes the circulatory system and its key components. It describes the heart as a pump made of cardiac muscle located in the chest cavity. The heart has four chambers - two upper atria and two lower ventricles - separated by valves to ensure one-way blood flow. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium then ventricle before exiting to the lungs via pulmonary arteries. Oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium and ventricle, then is pumped out through the aorta to the body. The circulatory system transports blood throughout the body using the heart as a pump and a network of vessels including arteries, veins and capillaries.

    TRANSPORTATION IN HUMAN BEINGS
    CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

    • The circulatory system in the human beings is made up of the fluid connective tissue called blood , the vessels and
    the heart.
    • Blood consists of a fluid medium called plasma in which the cells are suspended.
    • There is a pumping organ to push blood around the body, a network of tubes to reach blood to all the tissues and a
    system in place to ensure that this network can be repaired if damaged.

    PARTS OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM / THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM


    1) THE HEART
    2) BLOOD
    3) THE BLOOD VESSELS (ARTERIES, VEINS AND CAPILLARIES)

    Slide 1
    THE HUMAN HEART
    • The size of the heart is the of a clenched fist and it is located
    between the lungs in the thoracic cavity.
    • A two layered sac called PERICARDIUM encloses the heart.
    • It is made up of MYOCARDIUM i.e. cardiac muscles which is
    seen to contract and relax rhythmically throughout life.
    • The heart is located towards the left side of our thoracic cavity.
    • The heart has 4 prominent chambers.
    • The upper two chambers are called the Atria or the Auricles
    • The lower two chambers are called the ventricles
    • The oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are kept separate in the
    left and right side of the heart respectively.
    • The walls of the auricles are thinner than that of the ventricles as
    they send blood only to the ventricles, situated below them.
    • The walls of the ventricles are thicker as they send blood to the
    different parts of the body.
    • Slide 2
    THE HUMAN HEART
    • The wall of the left ventricle is thickest as it sends blood to all
    the body parts through the aorta.
    • The left auricle and ventricle has the bicuspid/mitral valve.
    • The right auricle and ventricle has the tricuspid valve.
    • The 4 chambers are separated by the septum(dividing wall).
    • The right auricle gets deoxygenated blood via the vena cavas.
    • The left auricle receives oxygenated blood via the pulmonary
    veins.
    • The right ventricle sends out deoxygenated blood via the
    pulmonary arteries to the lungs. This has the pulmonary valve.
    • The left ventricle sends out oxygenated blood via the aorta to
    the body parts. This has the aortic valve.
    • The valves prevent the backflow of blood.
    • Heart rate (at rest) = 75 beats per min

    Slide 3
    FLOW OF BLOOD THROUGH THE HEART

    • Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the relaxed right


    atrium.
    • The right atrium now contracts, and simultaneously its lower
    chamber(the right ventricle) relaxes and the deoxygenated
    blood pours into it.
    • Now the right ventricle contracts sending the blood through
    the pulmonary arteries to the lungs for oxygenation to take
    place.
    • The oxygenated blood is seen to enter the relaxed left auricle
    through the pulmonary veins.
    • Now the left auricle contracts sending the oxygenated blood to
    its lower chamber, the left ventricle which relaxes.
    • The left ventricle on contracting sends the oxygenated blood
    out to all the body parts through the aorta.
    • Valves help to stop the back flow of the blood.
