Circulatory System A) Anatomy • Inside the heart • 4 cavities • Two upper cavities are called ATRIUMS • Two lower cavities are called VENTRICLES • Outside the heart • Major Veins (brings blood to the heart) • Inferior and Superior Vena Cava • Pulmonary veins • Major Arteries (brings blood away from the heart) • Aorta • Pulmonary Artery
Circulatory System • B) Circulations • Within the Heart • Blood always circulates from the Atrium to the Ventricle • Outside of the Heart • Systemic Circulation • Heart to the cells and cells to the heart • Pulmonary Circulation • Heart to the lungs and lungs to the heart
Circulatory System • Systemic circulation • Goal: • Brings blood from the heart to the cells and from the cells to the heart • Starts from… • Left Ventricle, Aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, Vena Cava (inferior or superior) Right Atrium.
Circulatory System • Pulmonary circulation • Goal: • Brings blood from the heart to the lungs and from the lungs to the heart • Starts from… • Right Ventricle, Pulmonary Artery, lungs, Pulmonary Veins, Left Atrium.
Circulatory System • Blood Components • Red blood cells • Transport Oxygen • White Blood Cells • Protects the system • Platelets • Helps coagulate the blood • Plasma • Liquid component of the blood
Circulatory System • Blood Typing • Red blood cells have different proteins: • A • B • Rh • The combination of these allow us to determine our blood types
Circulatory System • Blood Transfusions • You cannot give a protein to someone who does not already have it.
