Transcript of CIRCULATORY SYSTEM - Blood, heart, blood vessels.
I. BLOOD
A. Functions
1. carries food, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones & enzyme
2. transports wastes
3. clots blood
4. helps fight infection
5. distributes heat
C. Blood Types Blood Types Antigen
(causes rxn)
Antibody
(fights antigen)
A A anti-B
B B anti-A
AB A, B neither
O neither anti-A, anti-B
- Universal DONOR – type O
(can donate to anyone) – no antigens
- Universal recipient – type AB
(can receive from anyone) – no antibodies
II. HeartA. Chambers/valves
1. right atrium (receives blood from body) Right AV (or tricuspid) valve closes to sound “lub”
2. right ventricle – pumps blood through to pulmonary (semilunar) valve closes to sound “dupp” to lungs (give off carbon dioxide & takes in oxygen
3. Left Atrium – receives oxygenated blood from lungs left AV (or bicuspid) valve closes to sound “lub” (at same as right AV valve)
4. Left ventricle – strongest chamber: pumps out blood through aortic valve (closes to sound “dupp”) aorta rest of the body
B. Terms
1. Heart attack – clot in heart (usually in coronary arteries
2. blood pressure – pressure in artery walls; ex. 120/80 – pressure when contraction/ relaxation of ventricles
3. heart murmur – faulty valve (often)
4. CPR – cardio (heart); pulmonary (lung)
recessitation
III. BLOOD VESSELS
A. Arteries – carry blood AWAY from the heart; most carry oxygen & are bright red; thicker & stronger
B. Arterioles – small arteries
C. Capillaries – connect arterioles to venules; microscopic; exchange of gases & nutrient takes place here between blood & cells
D. Venules – small veins
E. Veins – carry blood to heart; most carry carbon dioxide & are deep purple; less elastic; some have valves;
- varicose veins/hemorrhoids – flabby veins
F. Other Terms
1. stroke – blood clot in vessel in brain
2. high blood pressure – pressure too high in arteries which can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, blindness
CIRCULATION
Right Atrium right ventricle lungs left Atrium left ventricle aorta/arteries arterioles capillaries venules veins back to heart (right atrium)
