DEFINITIONS Artery: are blood vessels that carry blood away
from the heart. (Most carry oxygenated blood). Vein: are blood vessels that carry blood towards
the heart. (Most veins carry deoxygenated blood.)
Heart Valve: it normally allows blood flow in one direction through the heart. There are four valves in the mammalian heart.

JOB OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Transport materials throughout the body. It transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to your body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide that body cells produce.

HEART
The heart is located in the center of your chest slightly to the left. It's job is to pump your blood and keep the blood moving throughout your body.

CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries deliver blood to the heart muscle,
providing a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients needed for it to stay healthy and function normally.
Blood is supplied to the heart by its own vascular system, called coronary circulation.
Your left ventricle pumps blood into the main artery of your body, called the aorta. Close to the heart, the two main coronary arteries branch off of your aorta.

The left main coronary artery is a short vessel that branches into the:› Left anterior descending artery, which supplies blood to the
front (anterior wall) and part of the side (anterolateral wall) of the left ventricle, to the top of the left ventricle, and to most of the wall between the ventricles (interventricular septum).
› Circumflex artery, which passes behind the heart between the left atrium and left ventricle and supplies blood to the side (lateral wall) of the left ventricle. In a small number of people, the circumflex artery supplies the lower and back portions of the left ventricle.
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right ventricle and then supplies the underside (inferior wall) and backside (posterior wall) of the left ventricle.

ACTIONS OF THE HEART Atria collect blood from veins. Atria contractatrioventricular valves open. Blood is pumped into ventricles. Ventricle contracts, atrioventricular valves close
and semilunar valves open. Blood is pumped into arteries, semilunar valves
close. Cycle repeats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA0Wb3gc4mE&NR=1

THE CONTROL OF THE HEART BEAT
The heart muscle tissue can contract on its own , it is called myogenic muscle contraction.
Region responsible for initiating each contraction: pacemaker.

THE BLOOD
Blood is composed of plasma, erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes)white blood cells and platelets.

FUNCTIONS OF BLOOD
Blood carries oxygen and many other substances around your body.
Its functions is to transport and defence against disease.

VEINS AND VENULES CAPILLARIES ARTERIES AND ARTERIOLES
Function is to carry blood from tissues to the heart
Function is to allow exchange of materials between the blood and the tissues
Function is to carry blood from the heart to the tissues
Thin walls, mainly collagen, since blood at low pressure Very thin, permeable walls, only one cell thick to
allow exchange of materialsThick walls with smooth elastic layers to resist high
pressure and muscle layer to aid pumping
Large lumen to reduce resistance to flow. Very small lumen. Blood cells must distort to pass through. Small lumen
Many valves to prevent back-flow No valves No valves (except in heart)
Blood at low pressure Blood pressure falls in capillaries. Blood at high pressure
Blood usually deoxygenated (except in pulmonary vein)
Blood changes from oxygenated to deoxygenated (except in lungs)
Blood usually oxygenated (except in pulmonary artery)
