Title: Cardiovascular System
1Cardiovascular System
- By Kayla Sood Cynthia Amador P.4
2What is the Cardiovascular System?
3Why is the cardiovascular system important to us?
- Carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, proteins,
electrolytes, gases to cells. - Transports toxins and carbon dioxide away from
cells. - Necessary to stay alive, duhhh!
4Heart Chambers and Valves
The heart consists of 4 hallow chambers and 4
valves, that make the process of blood
circulation throughout the body possible.
5Heart chambers and valves(continued)
- Atria- upper chambers
- thin walls
- Receives blood returning to heart
- Ventricle- lower chambers
- Forces blood out heart, into arteries
- Aorta- carries blood from heart to rest of body
except lungs - Interatrial Septum
- Separates right and left atrium
- Interventricular Septum
- Separates right and left ventricles
64 Chambers
- Right atrium
- Receives oxygen
- Pumps to right ventricle
- Left atrium
- Receives oxygen rich-blood from lungs
- Pumps to left ventricle
- Right ventricle
- Pumps oxygen poor-blood to lungs
- Left ventricle
- Pumps oxygen rich-blood to aorta then out to the
body
74 Valves
- 2 Semilunar
- Mitral Valve (bicuspid valve)
- Located on left side
- Tricuspid Valve
- Located between upper atria and lower ventricles
on right side
- 2 Atrioventricular
- Aortic Valve
- Located on the left side
- Pulmonary Valve
- Located in arteries leaving the heart on right
side
8Purposes of the 4 major valves
- Mitral and tricuspid
- Control blood flow from atria to ventricle
- Aortic and pulmonary
- Control blood flow out of the ventricles
As LV contracts, opens and allows blood to leave
closes and prevents back flow of blood in LV
When ventricles contract, prevents back flow of
blood in LA and LV
Allows blood flow from RA into RV, prevents blood
moving in wrong direction
Prevents backflow of blood into RV and opens as
it contracts
9Coverings of the Heart
- The heart consist of two major layers
- Heart is enclosed in a double-walled sac
pericardium - The loose fitting superficial part of this sac
fibrous pericardium. - The fibrous pericardium
- protects heart
- holds together surrounding structures
- prevents overfilling heart with blood
- Deeper part of fibrous pericardium is the serous
pericardium
10Coverings of the heart (continued)
- Serous Pericardium a thin, two-layer membrane
that forms a closed sac around the heart. - Parietal layer of serous pericardium lines
internal surface of the fibrous pericardium. - At superior edges of heart, parietal layer
attaches to large arteries exiting the heart. - Then turns inferiorly and continues over the
external heart surface as the visceral layer,
also called the epicardium, - which is an essential part of the heart wall.
11Coverings of the heart (continued)
- Layers of the Heart Wall
- The heart wall is composed of three layers
- Epicardium
- myocardium
- endocardium
- Epicardium(superficial layer) is the visceral
layer of the serous pericardium. - Thin layer of CT and fat
- Myocardium(middle layer) composed mainly of
cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) and forms
the bulk of the heart. - CT fibers form a dense network called the fibrous
cardiac skeleton that support structure of the
myocardium cardiac muscle fibers. - Inner layer Endocardium made up of endothelial
consist of thin, smooth membrane, lines inside
chambers of heart, located under myocardium.
12Coverings of the heart (continued)
13Coverings of the heart (continued)
- pericardial cavity Between the parietal and
visceral layers contains a film of serous fluid.
- The serous membranes are lubricated by the serous
fluid - Allows for gliding past each other, allowing the
heart to work in a friction-free environment.
14Blood vessels
- Arteries Vessels that transports blood away form
the heart to capillaries - Capillaries small blood vessel that connects an
arteriole to a venule thin and fragile - Veins vessels that carry blood towards the heart
- 5 major vessel that go to
- and leave the heart
- Superior vena cava
- Inferior vena cava
- Pulmonary artery
- Pulmonary vein
- aorta
15Blood vessels(continued)
- Vena cava veins that return deoxygenated blood
from circulation body and empty into the right
atrium - Superior transports deoxygenated blood from
upper extremities (head, neck etc.) - Inferior transports deoxygenated blood from
lower extremities (thorax, abdomen, etc.) - Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from
right ventricle into lungs for oxygenation. - pulmonary vein carry oxygenated blood from lungs
into left atrium return to systemic circulation. - The aorta (largest artery) carries oxygenated
blood from left ventricle of heart into systemic
circulation. - Pulmonary trunk artery vessel in which blood
from RV exits, then branches to left and right
pulmonary arteries transports blood to lungs
16Blood vessels( continued)
- 3 layer of blood vessels
- Tunica Intima inner most layer
- Composed of thin layers of endothelial cells
- Allows for nutrients and gas
- Tunica media muscular middle layer
- Contains smooth muscle allowing to constrict and
dilate to adjust volume of blood - Tunica extrema outer most layer
- Surrounds tunica media
- Composed of CT

18REST OF OUR BODY!
19Blood Pressure
- There are 5 major parts that make up the process
of blood pressure - Filtration
- Glomerular filtration
- Fluid in blood is filtered across capillaries of
the glomerulus and into the urinary space of
Bowmans Capsule - 2. Systole vs. Diastole
- Systole maximum pressure achieved during
ventricle contractions - Diastole Lowest pressure that remains in the
arteries before the next ventricle contraction - Both numbers make up blood pressure
20Blood Pressure (continued)
- 3. Pressure vs. Distance
- Pressure- speed
- Distance- how far blood circulates throughout
body - 4. Plasma and protein relation to blood
- Plasma
- extracellular matrix (yellow liquid)
- Make up about 55 of bodys total blood value
- Proteins
- Transport of lipids, hormones, vitamins, and
metals
21Blood Pressure (continued)
- 5. Cardiac Output (aka Q)
- Made up of 2 components
- Heart rate (HR) refers to number of times heart
beats every minute (BPM) - Stroke volume (SV) refers to amount of blood
pumped out of the left ventricle with every heart
beat - Equation for cardiac output
- HR x SV Q
22Heart Beat and Sounds
- Noises created by beating heart and flow of blood
- Sounds reflect turbulence created when the heart
valves snap shut - 2 normal heart sounds lub dub
- Lub caused by closing of AV valves during
ventricular systole - Dub cause by closing of pulmonary and AV valves
during ventricular diastole - 2 different heart sounds S1 S2, produced by
closing of AV valves and semilunar valves - S1 caused by AV valves, Mitral and tricuspid
- S2 caused by semilunar valves, aortic and
pulmonic - Other sounds
- Murmur when cusps dont close completely and
blood is leaked back through valve - Aortic/pulmonic sound, mitral/tricuspid
23Conduction
- Important tissues, cells, fibers, etc. and their
location and function - Bundle branches transmits cardiac impulse from
AV bundle to myofibers - Stimulates ventricles to contract
- Atrioventricular bundle transmits cardiac
impulses from AV node to bundle of branches
causing contraction - Regulates heartbeat
- Consists of cardiac muscle
- Purkinje specialized cardiac muscle fibers
- Conducts electrical impulses through heart from
AV bundle to ventricular walls - Located in between lining of serous cavity
24Conduction (continued)
- Cells
- Non-pacemaker cells
- Fast rate of depolarizing
- Located all throughout heart with the exception
of pacemaker cells - Pacemaker cells
- Slow rate of depolarizing
- Located in SA and AV nodes
- Smooth muscle cells
- Cardiac muscle cells
- Able to depolarize at own rate because of
unstable membrane resting potential and leaky ion
channels
25Conduction (continued)
- SA Node (Sino atrial) pacemaker
- Controls heart rate
- Consists of specialized cardiac muscle fibers
- Located in RA near superior vena cava
- AV Node (atrioventriclular)
- Part of electrical control system of heart
- Between artia and ventricles
- Located beneath endocardium and on inferior part
of septum
26Conduction (continued)
- The cardiovascular system follows a very precise
regulation so that an appropriate supply of
oxygenated blood can be provided to different
body tissues.
27Conduction (continued)
Regulation Sympathetic nervous system speeds up
heart rate Parasympathetic nervous system slows
down heart rate
