the cardiovascular system |
Circulates blood throughout the body. if oxygen and nutrients or remove from waste material is reduced or cut off for even a few minutes, the affected cells may die. A disease or disorder of the cardiovascular system can pose life-threatening risk. |

Anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system |
The cardiovascular system is composed of heart, blood vessels, arteries, veins and capillaries. |
|
|
The heart |
Fist sized, hollow, muscular pump located in the thoracic cavity.. paricardial sac or parietal pericardium; thick membrane, external covering of the heart. Epicardium or visceral perichondrium : thinner membrane ; outer surface of the heart. |
|
|
The heart |
heart wall consist of myocardium and endocardium, four chambers, atria: receive incoming blood. Ventricles: precious blood out of the heart. |
|
|
The heart |
blood pumped from the ventricle presses through the semilunar (sl ) valves. Semilunar valves make the junction between two ventricles and two major arteries. Pulmonary trunk on right side ( right and left pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs ). Aorta on left side ( largest vessel in the body. carries blood from left ventricle to every part of the body except the lungs ) |
|
|
Blood flows through the heart from the atria to the ventricles. This one way flow is maintained by the atrioventricular ( av ) valves ( mitral valve or bicuspid valve on left side; tricuspid : valve on right side. |
Pulmonary circulation ( blood circulation associated with the lungs) Systemic circulation ( the black clothes from the left ventricle, through the body, and back through the right atrium ) Coronary circulation ( a small branch of the a quarter carries blood to the heart, beginning at the local circulatory loop supplying the heart ) |
|
|
Cardiac cycle : |
contraction and relaxation of ventricles. systolic is contraction. Diastolic is relaxation. |
|
|
Diast |

|
Pulmon |
Lung |
|
|
Syst |

|
|
The three main types of blood vessels |
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. veins carry blood towards the heart. Capillaries microscopic blood vessels between arteries and veins ( allow passage of nutrients and oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and body cells) |

Anatomy and physiology |
As blood circulates, some goes into lymphatic it vessels and becomes lymph. Lymph passes through lymph nodes. lymph nodes contain millions of white blood cells and removes bacteria and other unwanted materials. Unwanted materials can be pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viral, protozoa. drugs can also be unwanted material. |
|
|
Anatomy and physiology |
White blood cells are functional components of the immune system response. white blood cells defend us against viruses, bacteria, pathogens, fungi and non living substance can cause disease. |
|
|
blood |
Surem; Watery food left over wants fibrinogen is removed from a blood sample. |
|
|
Plasma; The fluid part of blood. Slightly thicker than water, due to dissolved proteins. Cosmic is slightly yellowish in color. |
Fibrinogen; Protein involved in blood clotting process. |
|
|
Blood |
Three types of elements that form blood is red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. |
|
|
Red blood cells |
Produced from stem cells in red bone marrow during hematopoiesis. lives about a hundred and twenty days. About 3 trillion and body. each cells is filled with specialized protein called hemoglobin. contains iron |
|
|
Platelets |
Also called thrombocyte. second most abundant element in the blood. smaller than RBCs red blood cells. platelets prevent blood loss that would otherwise follow an injury by coagulation, which results in the formation of blood clots. |
|
|
White blood cells WBC |
Also called leukocytes. the fewest cells in a normal sample of blood. Protect the body from infectious microorganisms and other foreign unwanted materials. |
|
|
White blood cells |
Several types of white blood cells WBC exist in the blood. Eosinophils; phagocytic : attack and eat bacteria. Basophils : release substance tgat trigger an allergic reaction. Neutrophils : eat bacteria, most abundant granulocyte, phagocytic. |
|
|
White blood cells |
Separate type of white blood cells exist in the blood. monocytes. phagocytic. transformed into macrophages, or large eaters. Lymphocytes. T cells and B cells. T cells destroy unwanted substance and are important to activating B cells . the cell produce antibodies. |
|
|
the lymphatic system |
lymph. does not contain red blood cells or platelets. flows in one way direction towards the heart. Are the organs of lymphatic system include the spleen, thymus gland, tonsils, lymphatic notes with then wall I have a large intestines. |
|
|
the lymphatic system |
Pathogens : disease causing agent that includes viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans and wormlike organisms. |
|
|
The lymphatic system |
Toxins: poisonous substance. Interferes with cell function. Infection: an immunological disease that results from a pathogen. Immune response: the mechanism the body employs to the Battle of infections. |
|
|
bacter : bacteria ; Cyt : cell ; erythr : red ; |
Hem ; Hemat : blood |
|
|
Immun ; Exempt , immunity. Lymph : clear water or fluid. Path : disease. Thromb : clot. Thym : thymus gland. Tox : Poison. Vir : virus. |
Bacteremia : present of bacteria in the bloodstream. Erthropenia : abnormal reduction number of red blood cells. |
|
|
Signs and symptoms |
Hemorrhage: loss of blood from the circulation. |
|
|
Poikiocytosis : |
Large, irregularly shape red blood cells. |
|
|
AIDS: acronym for acquired immunity deficiency syndrome. Caused by HIV. disabling immune response by this drawing mainly helper T cells. loss of immune function allows opportunit infection. Eventually causes death. T cells are made in the lymphatic system. opportunistic infection is infection that comes some disease complications. |
Polycythemia : abnormal increase in numbers of erythroctes in the blood.Spenomegaly : abnormal enlargement of the spleen. |
|
|
Allergy : response to an allergy. And antigen that produces hypersensitivity reaction that includes immediate information. the most common type of allergies R allergic rhinitis ( hayfever ) and allergic dermatitis ( skin allergy ). |
Anaphylaxis : an I am mediate reaction to an allergen. includes rapid information and System wide smooth muscle contractions. Anemia : A redacted ability of red blood cells to deliver oxygen to tissue. common forms include aplastic anemia , iron deficiency anemia, sickle cell anemia, pernicious anemia. |
|
|
Autoimmune disorder : a person's who immune response attack human tissue. Includes rheumatoid arthritis , systematic lupus erythematosus and MS multiple sclerosis. |
botulism : food poisoning. |
