  1. The Circulatory System • The “Heart” of the Matter

  2. What You’ll Learn • How to compare arteries, veins, and capillaries • The pathway of blood through the chambers of the heart • The pulmonary and systemic circulation systems

  3. The Purpose of the Cardiovascular System • In our bodies, the cardiovascular system distributes materials (blood, oxygen, remove cell waste, and other nutrients) throughout our body. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=picture+of+a+highway&aq=1&aqi=g9g-m1&aql=&oq=picture+of+a+high&gs_rfai=

  4. The Heart http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/photos/heart/#heart-angiogram_986_600x450.jpg

  5. The Heart • The major organ in the cardiovascular system. (pg. 547) • Made of cardiac muscle. • It is a closed system. • Composed of four cavities: • Left and Right ATRIA (upper chambers) • Left and Right VENTRICLES (lower chamber) http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.starsandseas.com/SAS_Images/SAS_Physiol_Images/SAS%2520cardiopics/heart_chambers.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.starsandseas.com/SAS%2520Physiology/Cardiovascular/Cardiovascular.htm&usg=__LaYV1b-8fkWdIjhQFRgjVQAZ6FM=&h=510&w=588&sz=18&hl=en&start=2&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=usQAd5D5wFvrEM:&tbnh=117&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpicture%2Bheart%2Bchambers%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26tbs%3Disch:1

  6. Pulmonary Circulation Systemic Circulation Coronary Circulation “Pump It Up” The Circulatory System

  7. Heart Picks up O2 Lungs Pulmonary Circulation(Heart Circulation)

  8. Aorta • Blood enters the Aorta and Aorta carries blood away from the heart • Body • O2 rich blood is pumped to all organs and tissues of body (except heart & lungs) • Veins • O2 is exchanged into CO2 & waste and returns to heart through the veins Systemic Circulation(Body Circulation)

  9. Coronary Circulation(Heart Circulation) • Heart has own blood vessels that supply it with nutrients and O2 • Blockage of blood flow results in a heart attack.

  10. Arteries • Move blood away from heart • Ventricles connect to Aorta • Contraction of heart = blood moved from heart into arteries • Veins • Move blood into heart • Valves keep blood moving toward the heart • Near skeletal muscles, squeezing = contraction =blood from heart into arteries • Capillaries • Connect arteries and veins • Walls are microscopic • “Blood Shot” eyes • Waste and CO2 move into capillaries to be carried back to heart Types of Blood Vessels

  12. Blood Pressure • When the heart pumps blood through the cardiovascular systems, it exerts a force called blood pressure on the walls of the vessels. • arteries and lower in capillaries and veins • How it is measured: Systolic/Diastolic Pressure

  13. Why It’s Important • Plays a vital role as the transport system of the body. • Failure of the cardiovascular system: • Atherosclerosis • Hypertension • How to keep the heart healthy: • Good diet • Regular checkups • Exercise

  14. Atherosclerosis http://www.heartattacktreatmenttips.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Atherosclerosis.jpg

  15. Cardiovascular Vocabulary • Atria:Two upper chambers of the heart • Ventricle: The two lower chambers of the heart • Pulmonary Circulation: Flow of blood through the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart • Systemic Circulation: Most extensive part of the circulatory system in which blood moves to and from all body organs and tissues, except the heart and lungs • Coronary Circulation: Flow of blood to the tissues of the heart. • Artery: Blood vessel with a thick elastic wall made from smooth muscle that moves blood away from the heart

  16. Cardiovascular Vocabulary • Vein: Blood vessel that moves blood to the heart and has valves to prevent backward movement of the blood • Capillary: Microscopic blood vessel that connects arteries and veins; nutrients, oxygen (O2), waste materials, and carbon dioxide (CO2) diffuse through its walls • Blood Pressure: force exerted on vessel walls by blood when the heart pumps through the cardiovascular system; normally 120/80 for a young adult • Atherosclerosis: Cardiovascular condition resulting from fatty deposits on arterial walls, which can clog blood vessels ad interfere with blood flow • Hypertension: Cardiovascular disorder, also caused by high blood pressure, that can cause atherosclerosis

  17. Circulation Test Questions • Where does the exchange of food, oxygen, and wastes occur? • a. arteries c. veins • b. capillaries d. lymph vessels • What are the lower chambers of the heart called? • a. Atrium c. Ventricles • b. Aorta d. Veins • Contrast pulmonary and systemic circulation: • ________________ a cardiovascular disorder resulting from fatty deposits on the arterial walls, which can clog blood vessels and interfere with blood flow.

  18. Answers to Circulation Test Questions • B – capillaries • C- ventricles • Pulmonary circulation transports blood through the heart and to the lungs. Systemic circulation transports blood to all parts of the body. • Atherosclerosis

  19. The End • Power point created by: Ms. Walsh • Chapter 20.1 Circulation
