A closed double circulatory system
Flow of Blood into and out of Human Heart:
1. Venous blood returns to the heart from the body by SUPERIOR Vena Cava (head, neck and arms) and INFERIOR Vena Cava (lower body) to the Right side of heart- RIGHT ATRIUM
2. Blood is then pumped from RIGHT ATRIUM through TRICUSPID VALVE, down into RIGHT VENTRICLE
3. Blood is then pumped up out of RIGHT VENTRICLE through PULMONARY SEMILUNAR VALVE and into PULMONARY TRUNK and towards the lungs for oxygenation
4. Blood, now oxygenated, returns to the Left side of heart- by way of PULMONARY VEINS and pumps blood into LEFT ATRIUM

Pic- What is the Flow of Blood through the Heart?
Pic- What is the Flow of Blood through the Heart?:
Heart Valves:
Human Heart contains 4 heart valves
Each guarding the exit of each chamber to prevent the backflow of blood
Valves are attached to Heart's Fibrous Skeleton (between atriums and ventricles)
Valves are divided into 2 types:

Cuspid Valves- Bicuspid (left) & Tricuspis (right), guards the exit from the Atriums
-operates because of the Chorae Tendinaee and Papillary muscles, help prevent valves forom failing (failure- prolapsed valve),

Semilunar Valves- Aortic (left) & Pulmonary (right), guards the exit of the ventricles
-operates because of the wegith of the blood, inflates the three cup-like structures of semilunar valve
Pic- What are the valves of the Heart?
Heart Valve
The Coronary Arteries of the Heart:
Feeds the heart and especially the heart muscle
Arise and travel across the surface mostly within Sulci (grooves)

Main Sulci- Coronary Sulci

Arterial System is divided into 2 main parts:
1). arising form Righ Coronary Artery and
2). from Left Coronary Artery,

*The two are interconnected by anastomses
Pic- What are that Coronary Arteries?:
Anterior View of Coronary Arteries
Pic- What are the Coronary Arteries?:
Posterior View of Coronary Arteries
Right Coronary Artery(RCA) path:
1. Arises from the right side of the Aorta, just above the Aortic Semilunar Valve,
2. Travels in the right side of the Coronary Sulcus, (inferior to the Right Auricle on anterior surface of heart, moving towards right of heart)
3. At right margin, the Marginal Branch is given off that travels inferior on surface of Right Ventricle
4. The remainder of the RCA travels to posterior surface of heart, where it will give rise to the Posterior Interverticular Artery (or Posterior Descending) which will travel down within the Posterior Intervertiricular Sulcus (btw the 2 ventricles)
5. RCA will continue within the coronary sulcus just after the Coronary Sinus where the RCA will anastomse with the remains of the LCA
Left Coronary Artery (LCA) path:
1. Arises from the left side of the Aorta, above the Aortic Semilunar Valve
2. Travels behind the Pulmonary Trunk to the edge of the Left Auricle
3. Divides into 2 branches:
a).The Anterior Interverticular Artery (or Anerior Decending) will run straight down the front of the heart within the Anterior Interverticular Sulcus then will anastomse at Apec of Heart with Posterior Decending Artery, b). The Circumflex Branch will travel around to the back of the heart and will give rise to the Posterior Ventricular Artery, which will run inferior on the posterior surface,
4. Circumflex Branch will continue within the left side of coronary sulcus before anastomsing with RCA just after Coronary Sinus
Cardiac Veins:
Return the blood from the Heart wall to the Right Atrium,
Arise on the surface of the heart near Coronary Arteries and drain toward the Coronary Sulcus
Once in sulcus, all venous blood empties into the Coronary Sinus which empties into the Right Atrium
1). Great Cardiac Vein- within the Anterior Intervertricular Sulcus next to the Anterior Descending Artery
2). Middle Cardiac Vein- within the Posterior Intervertricular Sulcus next to the Posterior Descending Artery
Cardiac Conduction System:
Used to create rhythmical beating of the four different chambers, and provide the maximum cardiac efficiency,
Operated by groups of Autorhythmic cells (specialized Cardiac muscle),
Contraction signal is passed from structure-to-structure, in order to pump blood in the proper order
1). SA (sinoatrial) node- located in the upper part of the Right Atrium,
-connected to both Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nerves,
-signal spreads from the SA node causing the Right and then Left Atriums to contract from the Top-down, -
willl pump the blood from the Atrium down into the Ventricles
2). At the bottom of the Right atrium, AV (atrioventricular) nodes picks up the signal and transmits it to the area of the interventricular septum and the left & right bundle branches (Bundle of Hiss)
3). Left of Right Bundle Branches will carry the signal rapidly down the septum to
4). Purkinje Fibers (Conduction Myofibers) will cause both Ventricle to start contracting fomr Bottom-up, will pump the blood from the ventricle up into either the pulmonary trunk and Aorta above
Pic- What are the parts of the Cardiac Conduction System?:

Sinusoid Capillary- large gaps in cell layer- within Spleen and Liver
Pic- What are the characteristics of the Capillary?:
Capillary
Arteriole:
Single layer of endothelium, basement membrane and 1 or 2 layers of continuous smooth muscle cells, Only interconnects the artery and the capillary, Is able to control the blood flow going into the Capillary
Venule:
Single layrer of endothelium cells, basement membrane and a non-continuous single layer of smooth muscle,
Interconnects the capillary to the vein,
It is not able to control the flow of blood out of the capillary
Capillary Exchange:
Hydrostatic Pressure- force pulling water out of capillary and chemicals dissolved in it, Osmosis- force pulling water into the capillary NET FILTRATION PRESSURE= BHP - BCOP, If +, water will come out of blood capillary on arterial side, If -, water will come into capillary on venous side, BHP will fall as you go from arterial side of capillary to venous capillary, BCOP will remain constant across the capillary
Neural Regulation of Blood Pressure:
CNS looks at: Proprioception- Joint movements and body position (standing or seated), Baroreceptors- monitor blood pressure (Arch or Aorta and Carotid arteries), Chemoreceptors- Monitoring acidity (pH), CO2 and O2, CNS responds by: Affects function of the hear rate and strength via the Parasympathetic (CNX) and Sympathetic nerves, Changes vasoconstriction via only Sympathetic nerves
Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure:
1. Renin- Angiotensin- Aldosterone System a). Renin is released from kidney when BP falls b). Angiotensin I & II created in blood stream c). Angiotensin II increased Vasoconstriction an the release of Aldosterone from Adrenal Cortex (increase water retention in kidneys) 2. Epinephrine & Norepinephrine a). cause a Sympathetic-like reaction in the heart and arteries b). released from Adrenal Medulla 3. Antidiuretic Hormone a). released from Hypothalamus via Posterior Pituitary b). ADH increases water retention in kidneys and vasocontriction (vasopressin)
Types of Shock:
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK- decrease in blood volume, CARDIOGENIC SHOCK- poor heart output, VASCULAR SHOCK- too much vasodilation, OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK- major blockage to blood flow
Lymphatic System:
A pumpless, open circulatory system that drains excessive fluid from the tissues of the body, Usually drains about 3 liters per day, Fluid- Lymph fluid- moves in lymphatic vessels by gravity and muscle milking, Fluid is filtered in the lymph nodes, and returned to the venous system just above the heart, System has numerous lymph organs, which houses many of the body's lymphocytes
Lymphatic System function:
1. Drain excessive fluid form tissues, 2. Transport Ag (antigen) to region Lymph nodes from infected tissues 3. Transport dietary lipids from GI tract to blood, 4. Filters the blood of Ag and removes dead RBC's (spleen) 5. Provides a home for immune cells
Lymphatic Capillaries:
Found within the tissues, will drain excessive water from tissues, contains pores that allow the removal of larger chemicals (mw) and solid objects to be removed from tissues that cannot be removed by blood capillaries, Lymph fluid in lymph capillaries slowly move toward the regional nodes by gravity and muscle milking, Lymph Node- acts as an Immune filter to clear the Lymph fluid of harmful Ag, informs the Immune system of the presense of harmful Ag, Once Lymph fluid leaves node, will recycle fluid (mostly water) back to the venous blood stream, above the heart
Lymph Organs:
Lymph Nodes, Thymus, Spleen, Tonsil, Diffuse Lymph Tissue
Lymph Nodes:
Smallest and most numerous of all lymph organs, 1. Function: filter lymph fluid from body's tissue, 2. Size and Shape: 10-25 mm long & kidney bean shaped, 3.

Spleen:
Single largest lymph organ, 1. Found in upper left quadrant of Abdomen, 2. Has thick CT capsule and contains Red Pulp- for removal of dead RBC's and White pulp- to filtrer blood of Ag
Pic- What tissue is this?:
Spleen
Tonsil:
5 found in ring between oral and Pharynx region, 1. each tonsil contains a crypt , allows microorganism in food/water to enter, 2. Inside tonsil, many lymphocytes to produce Ab (antibodies) against microorganism that entered GI tract
Pic- What Tissue is this?:
Tonsil
Has thick white layer- layers of stratified squamous on top- has a crypt (looks like a "v" in tissue- has germinal centers
Diffuse Lymph Tissue:
Lymphatic Nodules, Collections of lymphocytes (no capsule) within the muscous membranes of GI tract, urinary reproductive and respiratory tract
Inflammation:
A very important non-specific defense process that responds to tissue injury of any kind, Will alter the local permeability of the capiliaries in affected area, Key Process- will allow the other defense forces (WBC's, Ab, etc.) to leave the blood stream near to the sources of the problem and enter affecteed tissue, Important part of body's defense, with unpleasant symptoms, without inflammation, baody would not be able to bring WBC's or Immune System to field of battle
Factors or Conditions that Trigger Inflammation:
Triggered by the release of Histamine from Mast Cells in CT, Mast cells release histamine when: 1. mast cell receives a chemical signal from local tissue cells as they die 2. mast cells receives direct trauma 3. Immune system's IgE joins with a Ag in CT * The activation or fixing of complement causes the release of Histamine-like fragments, which is used to help maintain the inflammation process
Symptoms of Inflammation:
1 Redness 2. Swelling 3. Heat 4. Pain 5. Loss of function
Inflammation Process:
1. Mast cells release Histamine 2. Local arterioles vasodilate, causing the redness and heat (increase of arterial blood) 3. Great increase in hydrostatic force within the local capillaries 4. Hydrostatic pressure is greater than osmosis causing release of water (Transudate). Increased fluids pass into Lymph capillaries, pushing possible bacterial toward lymph nodes 5. Seconday Histamine effect occurs in endothelium tight gaps, which degrades and increases pressure in capillaries resulting in formation of small gaps between endothelia cells and increasing premeability, causing creation of Exudate (protein leaden fluid) 6. Blood movement slows down (blood thickens) and causes RBCs to clump, allowing WBC's to move to margin of capillary and migrate out of blood and into tissue 7. Mast cells release heparin to prevent the stoppage of blood due to slowing blood flow 8. WBCs leave blood in order they are found in blood: Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, 9. Antibodies aid Neutrophils in chemotaxis and phagocytosis, Lymphocytes bring immune system to infection area, Monocytes used to clean up the tissue in the end 10. Intersity of Inflammation is determined by the activity of the Neutrophils, Antibodies and Complement proteins in affected area and continued cell injury and cell death
Immune System:
A very specific defense system, Divided into 2 parts: T system or Cell-mediated immune system, B system or Antibody-mediated immune system, Produces proteins against foreign invaders (Ag), *uses the blood stream and inflammation to get to the site of infection
Antigen (Ag):
Something that provokes the immune system to react against it
Immune Cells:
Immune System operates by Lymphocytes, 2 major types of Lymphocytes: T Lymphocytes and B Lymphocytes, The body runs two different but interrelated immune systems
Types of Immune Systems:
Antibody mediated immune system- B System- (attack cell- Plasma cell)- protects against bacteria, fungus, yeast , some virus, and chemicals (penicillin) Cell-mediated immune system- T System- (attack cell T-killer cell)- protects against virus, animal cell infections, solid tissue tumors, organ transplants
Immune Responses:
Primary Immune Response- when immune system first encounters a new Ag, Lymphocyte will change to Immunoblast, which will take 24-72 hrs to determine 3D shape of Ag and prduce a counter 3D shape attack protein, then Immunoblast will become an active immune attack cell (plasma cell or T killer cell) and a memory cell, and will attack the Ag, Secondary Immune Response- some time later, the same Ag reenters the body, memory cell against this Ag will change into an attak cell and another memory cell (which saves time and allows immune system to attack Ag in time to prevent second infection) *Vaccines will create the secondary immune response without the damage of primary infection
B System:
Plasma Cells produce Antibodies (Ab) against Antigens (Ag), Antibody- four chain protein that is "Y" shaped, 1. Upper open arms of Y is Antibody Binding Site, where the Ag is attached, must have the specific 3D shapte to bind (lock and key), this is the variable portion of the Ab 2. Lower portion of Y is the Constant Portion, where the Ab will produce the immune work against Ag, Each Ab will be different attacks against Ag but Ag has to be attached to upper end
Antibody Functions:
Neutralization of Ag- Ab-Ag complex reduces the damaging affect of some Bacterial toxins or prevents some Virus from attaching to target cells, Immobilization of Bacteria- Ab-Ag complex prevents the spread of Bacteria by turning off their cilia or flagella function, Agglutination or Precipitation- Ab-Ag complex causes Bacteria to stick together in large clumps, so they can be easily phagocytized, Complement Activation (fixing)- Ab-Ag complex causs the activation of complement at the site of Ab-Ag complex, Enhancement of Phagocytosis- Ab-Ag complex will increase the ability of WBC to phagocytize the Bacteria
Antibody Families:
Type- Ab Size- Location- Function- IgG- single Y unit- plasma & lymph- longest half-life, fixes complement, travels fast in tissue and crosses placenta enhanced phagocytosis IgM- 5 Y units- plasma & lymph- fixes complement best, agglutination, causes blood type reactions IgA- 2 Y units- plasma, tears, saliva, mucus, milk & GI- help prevent organism from getting into body via mucous membrane IgE- single Y unit- CT near mast cells, small amount in plasma- Ab-Ag complex causes that release of Histamine & allergic reaction IgD- single Y unit- surface of B cells, small amount in plasma- involved in activation of B cell to Ag
Complement:
one the most powerful weapons against bacteria or other Ag. Consists of 12 plasma proteins produced by the liver, which are numbered C1 to C9 with 3 different C1 proteins. There are 2 different triggers to start the complement chain reaction by 2 different pathways that come together in a common pathway: Classical Pathway- 3 Ab-Ag complexes of 3 IgG or of one IgM, Alternative Pathway- the polysaccharides on the surface of the cell wall of some bacteria (typically gram negative). Once either pathway is activated, it will cause the accumulation of fixed complement proteins building to a critical mass leading to cytolysis of the target cell. Complement fixation reaction will also give off several protein fragments: Fragments C3a, C4a & C5a produce a Histamine-like reaction. Fragements C3b increasees phagocytosis of bacteria
Cell-Mediated Immunity (T cell system)
: T lymphocytes leave the lymphoid tissue and/or blood and seek out the Ag. On the surface of the T cell there are T cell receptors- TCRs (Ag receptors) and T cell will use these TCRs to bind to Ag or major histocompatibility complex
Activation of T cells:
Two step process: First Signal- when the T cell's TCR binds to Ag. Second Signal- Once bound, a chemical (Costimulator) is needed to create the second signal. There are more than 20 know chemicals, which Interleukin1 & Interleukin 2 are known. Once the T cell has received both signals, it is activated and the T cell will enlarge and proliferate into a cone of many attack cells and will produce thousands of Cytotoxic or T killer cells and T memory cells.
Types of T Lymphocytes:
Helper T cell or Th or T4- cell helps or stimulates the activation of T killer cells and also for the activation of B cells into plasma cells. Cytotoxic T cell or T killer cell or Tc or T8- attack cell for each specific Ag. T memory cell- cones the cells for the future to remember the immune shape of a specific Ag, fast response to Ag, will help prevent a second infection by the Ag agent.
T killer cells at work:
T killer will spread out looking for specific Ag and will attack it chemically by binding with Ag then releasing their toxic cargo. These chemicals : Perforin- causes cytolysis of infected host cell or foreign cell. Lymphotoxin- will destroy the DNA of infected host cell or foreign cell. Other chemical produced: Macrophage migration Inhibiting Factor- produced by T cells to help prevent Macrophages from leaving infected area(s). Gamma- Interferon- produced by helper & killer cells and enhances phagocytosis.
Respiratory System:
Brings oxygen (O2) into the body and expels Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A blind ended tube where the air must enter and leave via the same path. Fact: At rest, the body will use btw 200-250 ml of O2 per min. Respiratory System is one of the last systems to beocome operational during development, and the lungs are the least developed organ in the body of newly born infants and the most suusceptible to environmental damage. A major portal of entry for many infectious agents. Divided into 2 parts: Upper (all structures above the 1st pair of lungs) and Lower (all structure below) System.
The Nose:
Nasal cavity- divided into 2 parts seperated by the nasal septum: Entrance into the nose, Enternal Nares, leads to the dome shaped cavity. At apex of nasal cavity is the Olfactory epithelium. Extending out from the lateral walls are 3 shelve-like structures- Superior, Middle and Inferior Conchae. The 5 nasal sinus (2 maxillary, 2 frontal and 1 sphenoid) will connect to nasal cavities. Air will leave the nasal cavity via the internal nares and go into the Nasopharynx (superior part of pharynx). Exit from nose is protected by Soft palate, controlled by skeletal muscle.
The Larynx:
Just inferior to the Pharynx and attached to the posterior aspect of the larynx is the Esophagus. Is made of mostly cartilage to prevent closure of the air way.
Functions of Larynx:
1. separate the air from food/water by the use of two valve-like structures a). Epiglottis b. the vocal cords The food/water will be directed into Esophagus and air into Trachea 2. creates vibrations for voice production- Vocal cords 3. vocal cords can also be used for coughing Size of the larynx gives the basic vocal pitch, the larger the larynx the deeper the voice
The Trachea:
Foudn inferior to the Larynx and is often 12cm long. Made up of a series of "C" shaped cartilaginous rings, which will prevent collapse of airway. Will take the air down into the Thorax to the level of T5 just behind the upper part of the heart. Here it will divide into the left and right Bronchial trees. The Esphagus is found directly posterior to the Trachea.
Lung Structure:
Left lung contains 2 lobes divided by the a fissure: Oblique fissure. Right lung contains 3 lobes divided by 2 fissure: Upper fissue or Horizontal fissure & Lower fissure or Oblique fissure. On the Medial side of both lungs is the Hilus or Root of Lung. Pulmonary artery- brings blood into lungs. Pulmonary vein- removes oxygenated blood from lung and to heart. Primary Bronchi- allows air to move into & out of lungs. The outside of the lungs coated is with Pleura (double membrane)
Bronchi System:
A series of tubes that deliver air to all parts and corners of the lungs. Upper Bronchi are lined with pseudostratified squamous while the smaller or deeper Bronchi are lined with simple columnar. 1. Trachea gives rise to Primary Bronchi (supplies air to entire lung). Primary Bronchi enter lung at the Hilus or Root of the lung. 2. Once the Primary Bronchi enter the lung they divide into the Secondary Bronchi. One for each lobe of a lung. 3. Secondary Bronchi give rise to the Tertiary Bronchi. Each Tertiary Bronchi will supply air to a single Bronchopulmonary segment. The segments are the functional units within the lung (10 in each lung). Air flow and blood flow can be varied to provie the most efficiency from the lungs. 4. Tertiary Bronchi give rise to Bronchioles and terminal Bronchi and these tubes will stay within a single Bronchopulmonary segment. 5. Terminal Bronchi will end as the Alveolar Ducts an Alveolar sacs.
