Circulatory System and Blood
Circulatory System relates to:o Skeletal system Where blood cells are producedo Respiratory System carries oxygen/carbon dioxide to
the bodyo Lymphatic System lymph and foreign invader defenders
travel through the blood system
Functions of bloodo Fluid connective tissueo Transport dissolved gasses, nutrients, hormones, and
metabolic wasteso Regulates pH and ion compositiono Restricts fluid loss at injury siteso Defense against toxins/pathogens
The composition of whole blood
46-63% Plasma 37-54% Formed Elements
o 3 components:1. Red Blood Cells, RBC’s or erythrocytes
• Most abundant• Transport oxygen/carbon dioxide
2. White Blood Cells, WBC’c or leukocytes• Involved in body’s defense mechanisms
3. Platelets• Small packets of cytoplasm that contain
enzymes and other substances for clotting• http://

Plasma Plasma composition:
o 92% watero 7% Plasma Proteinso 1% other solutes
The composition Plasma
Plasma: Plasma Proteins
3 Primary types:1. Albumins• Regulate osmotic pressure of plasma• Transport fatty acids, hormones
2. Globulins• Antibodies that attack foreign proteins
and pathogens3. Fibrinogens• Blood clotting if platelets don’t clot
properly
Formed Elements 99.9% Erythrocytes Contain the red pigment hemoglobin Single blood drop = 260 million RBC’s Structure:
o Biconcave disc• Enables RBC’s to form smooth stacks that flow through
narrow openings• Enables bending/flexing
o During differentiation, RBC’s loose most organelles short lifespan (<120 days)
The composition Formed Elements
Red Blood Cells Elements
Hemoglobino Bloods cells with attached oxygen bright redo binds and transports oxygen/carbon dioxide to
tissues throughout the bodyo Anemia: condition where the Hemoglobin levels
are low• Interferes with oxygen delivery• Symptoms: weak, lethargic, confused• http://

Red Blood Cells Elements
Blood Doping: involves harvesting an athlete's own blood before a competition or finding a matching blood donoro blood is processed to create a concentration of
red blood cells, then frozen until needed for transfusion back into the athlete shortly before the event
o the extra red blood cells will deliver more oxygen and other essential elements to the athlete's muscle tissues, which means more stamina and endurance
Blood Types http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4qkwW-Fl3E
A classification determined by presence/absence of antigenso Substances that trigger an immune response o Attached to cell membranes of RBC’s
RBC’s of individual will have either1. A antigens2. B antigens3. Both A and B antigens4. Neither A or B antigens
Blood Types Type A
o Antigen Ao 40%
Type Bo Antigen Bo 10%
Type ABo Antigens A and Bo 4%
Type Oo Neither antigenso 46%
Blood Types Rh factor
o Surface antigeno Rh+
• Presences of Rh antigen• 85%
o Rh-• Absence of Rh antigen• 15%
o Example:• O- No antigens present• AB+ A, B, and Rh antigens present
Day 2 Blood typing lab
Blood Types Why do we need to be aware of blood types?
o Agglutinins: cells in plasma that attack antigens on “misplaced” RBC’s• When agglutinins attack the foreign RBC’s
clump together = agglutinationo If you are Type A your plasma carries anti-B
(antibodies B) which will attack Type B surface antigens
o Universal Recipient: AB+ o Universal Donor: O-
Inheritance of Blood Types
Inherited through genes on chromosome 9 Determined by the inheritance of 1 of 3 alleles (A, B, or O) from
each parent. The possible outcomes are shown below:
Both A and B alleles are dominant over O. The A and B alleles are codominant. Therefore, if an A is inherited from one parent and a B from the other, the phenotype will be AB.

Day 3
White Blood Cells Compared to RBC’s
o Have a nuclei, organelleso Lack hemoglobin
Functiono Defend against invasion by pathogenso Remove toxins, wastes, abnormal/damaged
cells
Movement of White Blood Cells
Use bloodstream to travel from organ to organo Detect chemical signals within the blood to
seek out the damaged area• Can move out of bloodstream• Some can do phagocytosis: the ability to
engulf large particles Types of Leukocytes
o Neutrophilso Eosinophilso Basophilso Monocyteso Lymphocytes
Types of White Blood Cells
Neutrophilso 50-76% of WBC’so The first WBC to arrive at injury siteo Specialize in attacking and engulfing bacteria
that has been marked Eosinophils
o Red in coloro 2-4% of WBC’so Phagocytize marked bacteria, parasites, or
cellular debris Basophils
o <1% of WBC’so Trigger dilation of blood vessels to avoid clotting
Types of White Blood Cells
Monocyteso 2-8% of WBC’so Aggressive phagocyteso Engulfing items larger than themselveso Release chemicals to attract other neutrophils
and monocytes Lymphocytes
o 20-30% of WBC’so 3 Classes:
1. T Cells2. B Cells3. NK Cells
Classes of Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes1. T Cells
1. Cell mediated immunity2. Against invading foreign cells and tissue
2. B Cells1. Humoral immunity2. Producing of antibodies
3. NK Cells1. “Natural Killer” cells2. Immune surveillance3. Detection of destruction4. Important in preventing cancer
White Blood Cell Disorders
Leukopenia: abnormally low #’s of leukocytes Leukocytosis: abnormally high #’s of leukocytes
o Leukemia: type of Leukocytosis, many kinds• Leukocytes fight off normal, healthy cells
within the body
Platelets Platelets: thrombocytes
o Thrombocytopenia: abnormally low platelet count• Cause: excessive bleeding
o Thrombocytosis: exceedingly high platelet count• Infection, inflammation, cancer
Functionso Release enzymes at appropriate times
to initiate clotting controlo Formation of temporary patch in walls
of damaged vessels
The Heart
Day 4
Cardiovascular Circuit Blood pumped through the body is involved in 2
main circuits:1. Pulmonary
• Carries blood to and from the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs
2. Systemic • Transports blood to and from the rest of the body
Both circuits start and end at the hearto Circuits made up of:
• Arteries• Veins• Capillaries
Anatomy of the Heart Surrounded by the pericardial cavity
o Visceral Pericardium: lining covering the surface of the heart
o Parietal Pericardium: lining on the inside surface of the pericardial cavity
o Pericardial fluid: lubricant found between both pericardium layers to reduce the friction

Blood Supply to the Heart
The heart, as a muscle, needs a blood supply too = coronary circulation
Coronary Arteries: (left and right) originate from the ascending aortao Supplies blood to the heart tissue
Cardiac Veins: takes blood from the heart tissue and dumps it directly into the right atriumo Removes deoxygenated blood from the
heart tissue

Heartbeats and the Conduction System
Conduction Systemo Release chemical impulses to change the
Transmembrane potential of heart tissueo Components
• Sinoatrial Node (SA node)• In wall of Rt Atrium• Contains pacemaker cells---regulate heart rate
• Atrioventricular Node (AV node)• Between atriums and ventricles
• AV Bundle• Perkinje Fibers• Conducting Cells
• Interconnect the nodes• Pass electrical signals to all cells of the heart tissue
Conduction System Heartbeat
1. SA node stimulated2. Impulse spreads and reaches the AV node3. Atrial contraction begins4. Impulse spreads with the AV Bundle 5. Impulse braches to the Perkinje fibers6. Spreads to papillary muscles for valves to
open7. Impulse spreads to ventricles for contraction
Sinoatrial Node (SA)
AtrioventricularNode (AV) AV
BundlePerkinje Fibers
ECG or EKG Electrocardiogram: recording of the electrical
events of your heart Features:
o P Wave: depolarization of the atria (contract)o QRS Complex: ventricles depolarize(contract)
and atria repolarize(relax) • R Wave: Ventricles contract (contraction held
due to ventricles being larger than atria)o T Wave: ventricle repolarization (relax)
Cardiac Cycle The repetitive pumping process that begins
with cardiac muscle contraction and ends with the beginning of the nexto 2 phases:• Systole: contraction of the heart
chambers—pushing blood out of heart• Diastole: Relaxation of the heart
chambers---blood filling heart chambers• Used in blood pressure readings:• Systolic/Diastolic Ex: 120/80• The amount of pressure on your
vascular tissue during systole and diastole
Blood Pressure Take Blood Pressure
o Average 120/80• Abnormally Low #’s: 80/50 or lower =
body is not getting enough blood• Hypotension
• Abnormally High #’s: 140/100 or higher = heart is working too hard to get blood to body• Hypertension
Pulse Average resting 60-100 Consistently above 100 or below 60---see a
