    The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood vessels, blood, and lymph vessels which work together to transport nutrients, gases, hormones, and remove wastes throughout the body. The heart pumps blood through two circuits - pulmonary circulation between the heart and lungs, and systemic circulation between the heart and the rest of the body. The lymphatic system drains excess fluid from tissues, transports it through lymph vessels and nodes where it is filtered before returning to the bloodstream.

    1 The Circulatory
    System
    Unit 2: Circulatory and Respiratory System
    What’s the role of the circulatory
    system?
    Which fluid besides blood moves
    through the circulatory system?
    1. Describe and label the structure and
    function of the heart.
    2. Trace the flow of blood through the heart
    and body.
    3. Distinguish between arteries, veins, and
    Student capillaries in terms of their structure and
    function.
    objectives 4. Distinguish between pulmonary circulation
    and systematic circulation.
    5. Summarize the functions of the lymphatic
    system.
    The Circulatory
    System
    • The blood, heart, and blood vessels
    form the cardiovascular system.
    • The lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph
    vessels form the lymphatic system.
    • The Circulatory system transports
    nutrients, hormones, and gases;
    gets rid of wastes; and helps
    maintain a constant body
    temperature.

    The Heart
    • The central organ of the cardiovascular
    system is the heart.
    • Beats 2.5 billion time in average life.
    • A mammalian heart has 4 chambers, 2
    upper (atrium), 2 lower (ventricle).
    • A tough, saclike membrane called
    pericardium surrounds the heart and
    secretes fluid that reduces friction as the
    heart beats.
    • Valves are flaps of tissue that open only
    in one direction.
    Anatomy of the Heart
    Circulation of the
    Heart
    1. Deoxygenated blood enters the right
    atrium.
    2. The right atrium sends deoxygenated
    blood into the right ventricle.
    3. The muscles of the right ventricle
    contract and force the blood into the
    pulmonary arteries.
    4. The pulmonary artery sends the blood
    to the lungs. In the lungs, the CO2
    diffuses out and O2 diffuses into the
    blood.
    Circulation of the
    Heart
    5. The oxygenated blood returns to the left
    atrium of the heart.
    6. The oxygenated blood is then pumped
    into the left ventricle.
    7. Contraction of the muscular walls of the
    left ventricle forces the blood into a
    larger blood vessel called the aorta. 
    8. From the aorta, blood is transported to
    all parts of the body.

    Control of Heartbeat

    • The heart consists of muscle cells that


    contract in waves.
    • The sinoatrial (SA) node is a group of
    specialized heart-muscle cells locates in
    the right atrium. These muscles
    spontaneously initiate their own
    electrical impulse. And contract.
    • The electrical impulse initiated by the
    SA node subsequently reaches another
    specific area of the heart;
    atrioventricular (AV) node.
    • A person’s pulse is a series of pressure
    waves within an artery caused by
    contractions of their left ventricle. 
    Blood Vessels
    • The large muscular vessels that carry blood
    away from the heart are called arteries.
    • The force in the of blood in the arteries, from
    contraction of the heart, is called blood
    pressure.
    • Blood flows from aorta (biggest artery) to
    smaller arteries. Arteries divide into
    arterioles. Arterioles branch of into tiny
    vessels called capillaries. 
    • Blood flows from capillaries that merge into
    larger vessels called venules. Several venules
    unite to form a vein. 
    Patterns of
    circulation

    • The heart and blood vessels


    form one continuous, closed
    system of circulation. There
    are two subsystems: 
    • Pulmonary circulation: the
    blood travels between the
    heart and the lungs.
    • Systematic circulation: the
    blood travels between the
    heart and all other body
    tissues.
    Lymphatic system

    • One function is the lymphatic system


    is to return fluids that have collected
    in the tissues to the bloodstream. 
    • Excess fluid in the tissues moves into
    tiny vessels of the lymphatic system:
    this fluid is called lymph.
    • Lymph nodes filter the lymph,
    trapping foreign particles,
    microorganisms, and other tissue
    debris. Lymph nodes also store
    lymphocytes, white blood cells
    specialized to fight disease.
    Review 1.
    2.
    Describe the structure of the heart.
    Outline the path that blood follows
    questions through the heart and body, starting at the
    superior vena cava.
    3. How are the structures of arteries, veins,
    and capillaries related to their function?
    4. Compare oxygenation levels in pulmonary
    circulation and systematic circulation.
    5. Explain how Lymph system works with the
    cardiovascular system.
