The circulatory system efficiently transports oxygen and removes waste from tissues, utilizing arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart, while veins return deoxygenated blood, aided by valves ensuring unidirectional flow. The heart functions as a pump, comprised of atria and ventricles, and relies on electrical impulses from the SA and AV nodes for rhythm. Meanwhile, the respiratory system includes airways such as the trachea and alveoli, facilitating gas exchange. Both systems are vital for sustaining life and health.
E N D
Circulatory System • Function – Transport oxygen and remove waste from tissues
Blood Vessels • Arteries – carry blood from heart to tissues, carry oxygen rich blood
Blood Vessels • Veins – bring blood back to the heart, many contain valves to ensure flow in one direction
Blood Vessels • Capillaries – smallest blood vessels
Capillaries • Exchange of oxygen, CO2 and nutrients
Heart • Pump blood through the body, contracts 72 times/minute
Heart • Atria – receive oxygen poor blood from body and oxygen rich blood from the lungs
Heart • Ventricles – pumps blood to the lungs and to the body
Valves of the Heart • Tricuspid valve – between right atrium and right ventricle
Valves of the Heart • Mitral valve – between left atrium and left ventricle
Blood Flow through the Heart • Pulmonary Circulation – blood that goes and returns to the lungs
Blood Flow through the Heart • Systemic Circulation – blood that goes to the body systems
Control of Heart Beat • SA node (pacemaker) – makes muscle fibers of the atria contract
Control of Heart Beat • AV node – produces an impulse for the ventricles to contract
Composition of Blood • Plasma – 90% water, 10% gases, salts, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, waste products, proteins, cholesterol, and other compounds
Composition of Blood • Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) – transport oxygen, contain hemoglobin (iron rich protein that gives color to blood
Composition of Blood • RBC’s - produced in bone marrow, do not have nucleus, live about 120 days
Composition of Blood • RBC’s – destroyed in the liver and spleen
Composition of Blood • White Blood Cells – guard against infections, attack bacteria
White Blood Cells • Have a nucleus and can live for years
Composition of Blood • Platelets – cell fragments made in bone marrow
Platelets Stop bleeding together with clotting factors
Normal Blood Pressure Ranges • This is a general view of the average blood pressure reading for the age range in question. • Age 15-19 - 117/77 mm/Hg • Age 20-24 - 120/79 mm/Hg • Age 25-29 - 121/80 mm/Hg • Age 30-34 - 122/81 mm/Hg • Age 35-39 - 123/82 mm/Hg • Age 40-44 - 125/83 mm/Hg • Age 45-49 - 127/84 mm/Hg • Age 50-54 - 129/85 mm/Hg • Age 55-59 - 131/86 mm/Hg • Age 60-64 - 134/87 mm/Hg
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Family History • Overweight
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Not being physically active • Using Tobacco
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Too much salt • Too little potassium
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Too little Vit. D • Too much alcohol
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Stress • Certain chronic conditions
Respiratory System • Pick up oxygen from lungs and release CO2
Structure • Nose – filter, moistens and warms air
Structures • Pharynx – cavity at the back of the mouth that is the passage of air and food
Structures • Trachea – brings oxygen to the lungs
Structures • Larynx – contain the vocal cords
Lungs • Surrounded by the pleura membrane
Lungs • Bronchi – two large tubes that enter the lungs
Lungs • Bronchioles – branches of the bronchi
Lungs • Alveoli – tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles; gas exchange takes place here
Smoking • Damages structures of respiratory system
Diseases caused by Smoking • Bronchitis – bronchi are inflames and blocked by mucous
Diseases caused by Smoking • Emphysema – loss of elasticity and eventual break down of lung tissue; no cure
