Circulatory Systems & Functions
![Page 3: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Most animals have a circulatory system – It transports O2 and nutrients to cells
– It takes away CO2 and other wastes
• Every organism must exchange materials with its environment
– The purpose of the circulatory system is to facilitate this exchange
![Page 4: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels – They form an intricate network among the tissue
cells
The circulatory system associates intimately with all body tissues
![Page 5: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• In jelly and flatworms, the gastrovascular cavity functions in both – digestion – internal transport
Several types of internal transport have evolved in animals
MECHANISMS OF INTERNAL TRANSPORT
![Page 6: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• All but the simplest animals have circulatory systems with three main components
– A central pump– A vascular system– The circulating fluid
• Most animals have a separate circulatory system, either open or closed
![Page 7: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Open circulatory system
– The heart pumps blood into large open-ended vessels
– Blood circulates freely among cells
– Many invertebrates, such as mollusks, have open circulatory systems
![Page 8: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Closed circulatory system
– Blood is confined to vessels
– It is distinct from the interstitial fluid
– Earthworms, octopuses, and vertebrates have closed circulatory systems
![Page 9: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• The closed circulatory system in vertebrates is called a cardiovascular system
– This system includes the heart and blood vessels
![Page 10: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cardiovascular System
![Page 11: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• In the human cardiovascular system
THE HUMAN CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
– The central pump is your heart– The vascular system is your blood vessels– The circulating fluid is your blood
![Page 12: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• In humans and other vertebrates, the three components of the cardiovascular system are organized into a double circulation system
The Path of Blood
– There are two distinct circuits of blood flow
![Page 13: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The pulmonary circuit carries blood between the heart and the lungs
• The systemic circuit carries blood between the heart and the rest of the body
![Page 14: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Heart- Structure & Function
![Page 15: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The human heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist
How the Heart Works
– It is located under the breastbone– It has four chambers
• The mammalian heart has two thin-walled atria that pump blood into the ventricles– The thick-walled ventricles pump blood to all other
body organs
![Page 16: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Blood vessels – Types & Functions
![Page 17: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• If the heart is the body’s “pump,” then the “plumbing” is the system of arteries, veins, and capillaries
Blood Vessels
– Arteries carry blood away from the heart– Veins carry blood toward the heart– Capillaries allow for exchange between the
bloodstream and tissue cells
![Page 18: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• All vessels are lined by a thin, smooth epithelium– Structural differences in the walls of the different kinds of
blood vessels correlate with their different functions
• Arteries and veins have smooth muscle and connective tissue– Valves in veins prevent the backflow of blood
• The walls of capillaries are thin and leaky
– As blood enters a capillary at the arterial end, blood pressure pushes fluid rich in oxygen, nutrients, and other substances into the interstitial fluid
– At the venous end of the capillary, CO2 and other wastes diffuse from tissue cells and into the capillary bloodstream
![Page 19: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• The transfer of materials between the blood and interstitial fluid can occur by
– leakage through clefts in the capillary walls– diffusion through the wall– blood pressure– osmotic pressure
![Page 20: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• After chemicals are exchanged between the blood and body cells, blood returns to the heart via the veins
Blood Return Through Veins
– By the time blood exits the capillaries and enters the veins, the pressure originating from the heart has dropped to near zero
![Page 21: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Circadian Cycle & ECG
![Page 22: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• The heart relaxes and contracts regularlyThe Cardiac Cycle
– Diastole is the relaxation phase of the heart cycle – Systole is the contraction phase
![Page 23: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Heart valves prevent backflow
• Cardiac output – The amount of blood pumped into the aorta by the
left ventricle per minute
![Page 24: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• The pacemaker, or SA (sinoatrial) node, sets the tempo of the heartbeat
The Pacemaker and the Control of Heart Rate
• The pacemaker is composed of specialized muscle tissue in the wall of the right atrium
![Page 25: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• The impulses sent by the pacemaker produce electrical currents that can be detected by electrodes placed on the skin– These are recorded in an electrocardiogram (ECG or
EKG)– Control centers in the brain adjust heart rate to body
needs
![Page 26: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• In certain kinds of heart disease, the heart’s electrical control fails to maintain a normal rhythm– The remedy is an artificial pacemaker
![Page 27: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• A heart attack is damage that occurs when a coronary feeding the heart is blocked
Connection: What is a heart attack?
![Page 28: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• How can you avoid becoming a heart disease victim?
– Don’t smoke– Exercise– Eat a heart-healthy diet
![Page 29: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Every year, smoking kills about 430,000 Americans– Many smokers die from lung cancer– Smoking can also cause emphysema
![Page 30: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Blood pressure
![Page 31: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• The force that blood exerts against the walls of your blood vessels is called blood pressure
Blood Flow Through Arteries
– Blood pressure is the main force driving the blood from the heart to the capillary beds
– A pulse is the rhythmic stretching of the arteries caused by the pressure of blood forced into the arteries during systole
• Blood pressure depends on– cardiac output– resistance of vessels
![Page 32: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Normal blood pressure for adults is below 120 systolic and below 80 diastolic
• High blood pressure is persistent systolic blood pressure higher than 140 and/or diastolic blood pressure higher than 90
– It is also called hypertension
![Page 33: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Pressure is highest in the arteries– It drops to
zero by the time the blood reaches the veins
![Page 34: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Three factors keep blood moving back to the heart– muscle contractions– breathing– one-way valves
![Page 35: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Blood pressure is measured as systolic and diastolic pressures
Connection: Measuring blood pressure can reveal cardiovascular problems
![Page 36: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Muscular constriction of arterioles and precapillary sphincters controls the flow through capillaries
Smooth muscle controls the distribution of blood
![Page 37: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Blood
![Page 38: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• The circulatory system of an adult human has about 5 L (11 pints) of blood
Blood
– Just over half of this volume is plasma– Suspended within the plasma are several types of
cellular elements
![Page 39: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Red blood cells transport oxygen
• Red blood cells contain hemoglobin – Hemoglobin enables the
transport of O2
• Red blood cells are by far the most numerous type of blood cell– They are also called
erythrocytes
![Page 40: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Each red blood cell contains large amounts of the protein hemoglobin
– Hemoglobin contains iron and transports oxygen throughout the body
– Anemia is an abnormally low amount of hemoglobin or a low amount of red blood cells
![Page 41: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
White blood cells help defend the body
• White blood cells function both inside and outside the circulatory system – They fight infections and cancer– They are also called leukocytes– There are about 1,000 times fewer white blood cells than red
blood cells
![Page 42: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Blood clots plug leaks when blood vessels are injured
• When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets respond– They help trigger the
formation of an insoluble fibrin clot that plugs the leak
![Page 43: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Blood contains two components that aid in clotting– Platelets (thrombocytes) are bits of cytoplasm
pinched off from larger cells in the bone marrow– Fibrinogen is a membrane-wrapped protein found in
plasma
![Page 44: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Connection: Stem cells offer a potential cure for leukemia and other blood cell diseases
• All blood cells develop from stem cells in bone marrow– Such cells may prove
valuable for treating certain blood disorders
![Page 45: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• New blood cells are continually formed from unspecialized stem cells found in red bone marrow
Stem Cells and the Treatment of Leukemia
– Stem cells differentiate into red and white blood cells and the cells that produce platelets
– Bone marrow stem cells can be isolated and used to treat leukemia
![Page 46: CHAPTER 23 Circulation](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102801/56815f6a550346895dce6e63/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Leukemia is cancer of the leukocytes
– A person with leukemia has an abnormally high number of leukocytes
– Leukemia is usually fatal unless treated– Not all cases respond to treatment
