Diagram it!!Below create for yourself a nice little map, clearly outlining the 2 circuits. One step above, add colour to show oxygen rich blood and carbon dioxide blood.

Systemic and Pulmonary Circulation

1. What is the difference between systemic and pulmonary circulation?

2. In the diagram below, color the oxygenated blood RED, and the deoxygenated blood BLUE. Be sure to label the three types of blood vessels: artery, vein, and capillary. Also, label the four chambers of the heart!

Structure Pulmonary or Systemic?

Inferior Vena Cava

Superior Vena Cava

Right Atrium

Right Ventricle

Pulmonary Arteries

Pulmonary Veins

Left Atrium

Aorta

Fetal Circulation There are 5 structures present in the fetus that are not present in the adult circulatory system.

Why does the fetus have an altered circulatory system?

Locate each structure on the diagram. Label the structure on the diagram and fill in the chart for its function. (Note structure “U” belongs to the mother, not the fetus. Include it in your labels but not in the chart.

Fetal Structure Function

Note the umbilical arteries and umbilical vein are named for the baby’s cirucaltory system, not the mothers.

The umbilical vein carries ________________________ blood, to the baby’s _________________.

The umbilical artery carries _______________________ blood and wastes away from the baby and to the

___________________ for exchange within the ______________________.

Like in the pulmonary circuit the oxygen carrying of the blood is reversed. Blood in the umbilical vein is traveling to the baby’s heart, BUT the blood is oxygenated (or red). Blood in the umbilical artery is traveling away from the baby’s heart, BUT the blood is de-oxygenated or blue.

Why do you think the umbilical vein travels to the baby’s liver (via the venous duct), before entering the baby’s heart

Does the vena cava in the baby carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood? Where is this blood coming from?

Does the aorta in the baby carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood? Why? What structure in the fetus does aorta lead in to? Where does this lead to in the mother?

How do the vena cava and aorta in fetal circulation differ from that of the adult?

Bloody MessBlood consists of approx ______% formed elements and _______ % plasma.

Formed elements

(You are responsible for distinguishing between the 3 cell types in the table, but you do not need to be able to distinguish between the different types of white blood cells (basophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes etc…)

Formed Element Shape Function Origin

Red Blood Cells( )

White blood Cells( )

Plasma( )

Plasma

Contains a variety of organic & inorganic substances.

________ % is water, which functions to…

Blood has transport, regulatory and protective functions, such as:

- transports

- transports

-regulates

-regulates

_______ % is plasma proteins which function to…

Plasma contains minute (less than 1%) amounts of:

- ________, which help maintain blood osmotic pressure.

- ________, for cellular respiration.

- ___________________, as food for cells

- ___________________, from excretion by the kidneys

- ______________, _______________ etc… which have various functions in regulation of the body (homeostasis) and metabolism.

Antigens and Antibodies

What is an antigen? (try the glossary)

An antibody is a “Y” shaped molecule also known as an immunoglobulin. Antibodies are typically made of ________________ (peptide chains). The variable regions of the antibody are specific for a particular ______________.

Antigens combine with antibodies in a ___________ - _______ - ________ manner. When the antigens and antibodies form a complex together the antigens are….

Antibodies are produced in response to invading pathogens. (They are also produced when you receive a vaccination with a weakened form of an antigen, such as a virus.) Antibodies are ____________ to the antigen for which they are made. An individual is said to be immune to an antigen if he/she has antibodies to that particular antigen. The blood of the individual contains lymphocytes that can remain in the system for years ready to produce antibodies if the ____________ is detected.

Exposure to the antigen, either naturally or by way of a vaccine will cause active immunity to develop. In active immunity, the individual produces their own antibodies which remain in their blood stream to protect against future attacks. When antibodies are produced they bind to the antigens and destroy them.

Biology 12 - The Heart & Circulatory System

1. The major systemic artery in the body is the _______________.2. The systemic system begins with the ______________________________ of the heart and ends with the ______________________________ of the heart.3. Contraction of the heart is called _______________; just following contraction, blood pressure is at it _______________.4. The SA node is often called the _______________.5. The first wave in an electrocardiogram occurs during the contraction of the _______________; the second occurs during the contraction of the _______________.6. A vein is a blood vessel that takes blood to the _______________.7. Movement of blood in the veins is aided by _______________muscle contraction.8. Capillaries are tiny vessels with very _______________walls, facilitating the exchange of molecules.9. The lymph vessels begin in the tissues and eventually join the _______________veins.10. Two dietary components that may contribute to the medical condition hypertension are _______________and _______________.11. A stroke occurs when _______________cells are denied oxygen.

14. The path of blood through the heart. Starting with vena cava, list the structures in order through which blood flows. Use the parts in the column on the left.

15. The heart beats about _______times a minute. What actually happens is that the ______________node initiates the contraction of the____________(chambers). The nervous stimulus is picked up by the ____________________________node, and this initiates the contraction of the _______________ (chambers). When the chambers are not actually contracting, they are relaxing. Contraction is termed systole, and resting is termed _______________.

16. When the atria contracts, this forces the blood through the ______________________________valves into the ______________________________. The closing of these valves is the lub sound. Next the

ventricles contract and force the blood into the arteries. Now the ______________________________ valves close, and this is theDUPP sound. A heart murmur is caused by ___________________________.

23. If you press a finger down on a prominent vein, say, on the back of your hand and then slide the finger distally to a new pressure point closer to the fingers, would you expect the section of vein you just moved along to refill with blood? Suppose you had moved the finger proximally toward the upper arm?24. Explain how the blood that right now is arriving at your fingertips will get back to your heart. What will drive its movement?
