Circulatory System
General Facts:
-passageway for nutrients and waste
from the body’s organs.
-consists of the heart, blood vessels, and
blood.
Circulatory System
Heart:
-pumps blood.
-general facts:
•beats an average of 72 bpm.
•pumps about 5,000 gallons per day.
•about the size of your fist.
•weighs under 1 pound.
Circulatory System
Heart Parts:
-pericardium
•outer layer of the heart tissue.
-myocardium
•middle muscle layer of heart tissue.
-endocardium
•inner layer of heart tissue.
•“Blood-proof”
Circulatory System
-septum
•dividing wall between the left and right
sides of the heart.
-chambers ( 4 )
•Right Atrium:
receives blood from the body.
•Right Ventricle:
receives blood from the right
atrium
Circulatory System
•Left Atrium:
receives blood from the lungs.
•Left Ventricle:
receives blood from the left atrium.
Circulatory System
Heart Valves ( 4 )
-Tricuspid valve:
•between right atrium and right
ventricle.
-Pulmonary Valve:
•between right ventricle and lungs.
-Mitral Valve:
•between left atrium and left ventricle
-Aortic Valve:
•between left ventricle and aorta.

Blood Circulation
Arteries: carries blood away from the heart
Aorta: largest artery
-takes blood to the body
Pulmonary Artery:
-takes blood to the lungs
Coronary Artery:
-takes blood to the heart
Blood Circulation
Veins: carries blood back to the heart
Superior Vena Cava:
-returns blood to the heart from
the upper body
Inferior Vena Cava:
-returns blood to the heart
from the lower body
Blood Circulation
Veins: (cont’d)
Pulmonary Vein:
-returns blood to the heart
from the lungs
Blood Circulation
Capillaries:
-carries blood from the arteries to
the veins
-smallest of the blood vessels
-transfer of nutrients and waste
Blood Loops
Systemic Circulation:
-takes blood throughout the entire
body
Coronary Circulation
-circulates blood to the myocardium
(the cells of the heart muscle)
Blood Loops
Renal Circulation:
-circulates blood to the kidneys
(liquid waste is filtered)
Portal Circulation:
-circulates blood to the intestines
(nutrients are picked up)
Lymphatic System
Lymph Nodes:
-bundles of lymph tissue that help filter
out infections
Lymph:
1. clear fluid
2. bathes all of the body’s cells
3. helps rid the body of waste/infections
Blood Pressure
What is it?
1. Force of blood against the wall of
an artery.
2. Tool for assessing the health of
the cardiovascular system.
Blood Pressure
Factors affecting blood pressure.
1. Age
2. Heredity
3. Emotions (stress)
4. Food selection
5. Exercise/Fitness levels
6. Weight
Blood Pressure
Systolic Pressure: (top number)
-pressure against an artery wall
when the heart contracts.
Diastolic Pressure: (bottom number)
-pressure against an artery wall
when the heart relaxes.
Normal Range
110/70
-
140/90
Blood Pressure
Instruments that are used:
1. stethoscope
2. sphygmomanometer
3. cuff
Blood Pressure
Reading Blood Pressure
1. Cuff around upper arm.
2. Stethoscope on the pulse in the
elbow.
3. Inflate cuff until blood flow is
stopped. (usually 160-180)
Blood Pressure
4. Pressure in the cuff is gradually
reduced until sounds are heard in
the vessels. (stethoscope)
(systolic pressure reading)
5. Pressure continues to be
released until the sounds stop
(stethoscope)
(diastolic pressure reading)
Heart in Action
S-A Node: (sino-atrial node)
1. Located in the right atrium.
2. Nerve tissue
3. Pacemaker
4. Stimulate the A-V node
Heart in Action
A-V-Node: (Atrioventricular Node)
1. Located between the atria
and ventricles
2. Pumps ventricles
Sound of a beating heart
