Presentation Transcript

  1. The Cardiovascular System • Circulating fluid (blood) • The Heart • Blood vessels

  2. Physical Characteristics of Blood • Sticky, opaque fluid • Color varies from scarlet (O2 rich) to dark red (O2 poor) • More dense than water, slightly alkalinic (7.35-7.45) • Temperature:(38C or 100F) • 8% of body weight, 5-6L(volume)

  3. FunctionsDistribution • Deliver oxygen from lungs & nutrients from GI tract to cells • Transport metabolic wastes from cells to elimination sites (lungs, kidneys) • Transport hormones

  4. FunctionsRegulation • Maintenance of body temperature • Maintenance of pH;proteins act as buffers • Maintenance of adequate fluid volume in circulatory system

  5. FunctionsProtection • Prevention of blood loss • Prevention of infection

  6. Blood CompositionBlood Plasma • 90% water; 55% of whole blood volume • 100 dissolved solutes (nutrients, gases, hormones, wastes, cell activity products • Plasma proteins: (1)Albumin accounts for 60% of plasmic proteins; (2) immunoglobulins, transport proteins (35%); (3) fibrinogen (4%) clotting reaction

  7. Blood CompositionFormed Elements • Erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets • Two of the three are not true cells • Most of the formed elements short life spans • Amitotic (renewed by bone marrow)

  8. Formed ElementsErythrocytes • Biconcave shaped (maintained by spectrin) ideal for gas transport • Anucleate, no organelles • 97% Hb • Hemocytoblast>proerythroblast>early erythroblast>late erythroblast >normoblast> reticulocyte>erythrocyte • Blood typing:A, B, AB, O

  9. Formed ElementsLeukocytes • Provide immunity • Less than 1% of total blood volume • Diapedesis • Amoebid motion • Positive chemotaxis • Leukopenia,leukocytosis • Granulocytes, agranulocytes

  10. Granulocytes • Neutrophils-Most numerous(70%);granules contain peroxidases and hydrolytic enzymes; polymorphonuclear; 1st line of immune attack;defensins • Eosinophils-(1-4%); bilobed red nucleus;lack bacteriolytic enzymes;parasitic infections; inactivate allergic reactions • Basophils-(0.5%);U or S shaped nucleus; release histamine/contain heparin

  11. Agranulocytes • Monocytes-(4-8%); largest WBC; kidney shaped nuclei;metamorphose into macrophages • Lymphocytes-(20-30%); 2nd most numerous leukocyte;scant cytoplasm;lymphatic system component;specific immunity T cells-attack foreign cells directly; B cells-change into plasma cells that secrete antibodies;NK cells-immune surveillance

  12. Platelets • Cytoplasmic fragments of megakaryocytes • Anucleate • Regulated by thrombopoietin • Hemostasis

  13. The Cardiovascular System:The HeartOverview • Heart chambers:Atria,ventricles • Pulmonary circuit • Systemic, coronary circuit • Arteries, veins, capillaries

  14. The Heart Size, Location, and Orientation • Weighs between 250-350 grams • Located in mediastinum(extends obliquely from 2nd rib to 5th intercostal space) • Base, apex

  15. Coverings of the Heart • Fibrous pericardium-(1) protection;(2) anchors to surroundings (diaphragm,great vessels); (3) prevents blood overfill. • Serous pericardium-(1) parietal layer lines inner fibrous pericardium;(2)visceral layer (epicardium);(3) Pericardial cavity-in between

  16. Layers of the Heart Wall • Epicardium-often infiltrated with adipose • Myocardium-layered cardiac muscle tissue(contractile), CT, blood vessels, & nerves • Endocardium-glistening white endothelial layer resting on CT;continuous with endothelium

  17. Cardiac Muscle Tissue • Cardiocytes-central nucleus,myofibrils, intercalated discs,aerobic respiration;high myoglobin [ ];glycogen/lipid reserves • Circulatory supply more extensive vs.red muscle tissue • Cardiocyte membranes bound together by intercalated discs (desmosomal cell junctions); functional syncytium.

  18. Fibrous Heart Skeleton • Collagen & elastic fibers • Encircle bases of pulmonary trunk/aorta and heart valves • Functions:(1) stabilizes cardiocyte/valve positionings; (2) reinforcement of blood vessels & nerves;(3) elasticity

Coronary CirculationArterial Supply • Left coronary artery:anterior interventricular art.(supplies intervent. septum & ant.walls of rt./lt. ventr.) and circumflex art.(lt. atrium & post.walls of lt. vent.) • Right coronary artery: marginal art. (supplies myocardium of lateral part (rt.side) and post.intervent.art.(post.ventr.walls) • Anastomoses-fusing collateral routes

  23. Coronary CirculationVenous Supply • Coronary sinus-receives blood from great, middle, and small cardiac veins

  24. Cardiac Cycle • Systole-chamber contraction (atrial 0.1s, ventricular 0.3s) • Diastole-chamber relaxation(0.4 s) • (1)Period of ventricular filling(mid-to-late diastole); (2) Ventricular systole (isovolumetric contraction, ventricular ejection phases);(3)Isovolumetric relaxation (early diastole)

  25. Cardiac CycleHeart Sounds • 1st (“lubb”) sound- beginning ventricular systole • 2nd (“dupp”)sound-beginning ventricular diastole • 3rd/4th sounds associated with ventricular blood flow & atrial contractions
