Explore the functions of blood, composition, types, heart anatomy, terms, blood vessels, and circulation in this informative guide. Learn about blood's crucial roles, heart chambers, vessel types, and the importance of a healthy circulatory system.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM -Blood, heart, blood vessels
I. BLOOD A. Functions 1. carries food, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones & enzyme 2. transports wastes 3. clots blood 4. helps fight infection 5. distributes heat
B. Composition 1. plasma – liquid part of blood
Solid Parts 2. R.B.C. – carries oxygen & carbon dioxide Anemia – caused by lack of r.b.c. or iron
- Universal DONOR – type O (can donate to anyone) – no antigens - Universal recipient – type AB (can receive from anyone) – no antibodies
Rh factor: + or - Rh + : has + antigen Rh - : has + antibody
II. Heart A. Chambers/valves 1. right atrium (receives blood from body) Right AV (or tricuspid) valve closes to sound “lub”
2. right ventricle – pumps blood through to pulmonary (semilunar) valve closes to sound “dupp” to lungs (give off carbon dioxide & takes in oxygen
3. Left Atrium – receives oxygenated blood from lungs left AV (or bicuspid) valve closes to sound “lub” (at same as right AV valve)
4. Left ventricle – strongest chamber: pumps out blood through aortic valve (closes to sound “dupp”) aorta rest of the body
B. Terms 1. Heart attack – clot in heart (usually in coronary arteries 2. blood pressure – pressure in artery walls; ex. 120/80 – pressure when contraction/ relaxation of ventricles 3. heart murmur – faulty valve (often) 4. CPR – cardio (heart); pulmonary (lung) recessitation
III. BLOOD VESSELS A. Arteries – carry blood AWAY from the heart; most carry oxygen & are bright red; thicker & stronger B. Arterioles – small arteries
C. Capillaries – connect arterioles to venules; microscopic; exchange of gases & nutrient takes place here between blood & cells
D. Venules – small veins E. Veins – carry blood to heart; most carry carbon dioxide & are deep purple; less elastic; some have valves; - varicose veins/hemorrhoids – flabby veins
F. Other Terms 1. stroke – blood clot in vessel in brain 2. high blood pressure – pressure too high in arteries which can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, blindness
CIRCULATION Right Atrium right ventricle lungs left Atrium left ventricle aorta/arteries arterioles capillaries venules veins back to heart (right atrium)
