The Cardiovascular System

Lecture Slides in PowerPoint by Jerry L. Cook

The Cardiovascular SystemThe Cardiovascular System

A closed system of the heart and bloodvessels

The heart pumps blood

Blood vessels allow blood to circulate to all

Slide 11.2Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Blood vessels allow blood to circulate to allparts of the body

The function of the cardiovascularsystem is to deliver oxygen andnutrients and to remove carbon dioxideand other waste products

Cardiac veins

Blood empties into the right atrium via thecoronary sinus

The Heart: Conduction SystemThe Heart: Conduction System

Intrinsic conduction system(nodal system)

(nodal system)

Heart muscle cells contract, without nerveimpulses, in a regular, continuous way

The Heart: Cardiac CycleThe Heart: Cardiac Cycle

Atria contract simultaneously

Atria relax, then ventricles contract

Slide 11.20Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Atria relax, then ventricles contract

Systole = contraction

Diastole = relaxation

The Heart: Cardiac CycleThe Heart: Cardiac Cycle

Cardiac cycle events of one completeheart beat

Mid-to-late diastole blood flows intoventricles

Slide 11.21Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

ventricles

Ventricular systole blood pressure buildsbefore ventricle contracts, pushing outblood

Early diastole atria finish re-filling,ventricular pressure is low

The Heart: Cardiac OutputThe Heart: Cardiac Output

Cardiac output (CO)

Amount of blood pumped by each side ofthe heart in one minute

CO = (heart rate [HR]) x (stroke volume

Slide 11.22Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

CO = (heart rate [HR]) x (stroke volume[SV])

Stroke volume

Volume of blood pumped by each ventriclein one contraction

Stroke volume usually remains relativelyconstant

Starlings law of the heart the more that

Slide 11.24Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Starlings law of the heart the more thatthe cardiac muscle is stretched, thestronger the contraction

Changing heart rate is the mostcommon way to change cardiac output

Differences Between Blood VesselDifferences Between Blood VesselTypesTypes

Walls of arteries are the thickest

Lumens of veins are larger

Skeletal muscle milks blood in veins

Slide 11.30Copyright 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Skeletal muscle milks blood in veinstoward the heart

Walls of capillaries are only one celllayer thick to allow for exchangesbetween blood and tissue

Movement of Blood ThroughMovement of Blood ThroughVesselsVessels

Most arterial blood ispumped by the heart
