Three elements of the cardiovascular system |
Heart, blood vessels, blood |
|
General cycle of blood |
Start off in the heart, goes through arteries, then capillaries, veins, then back to Heart |
|
Purpose of blood plasma |
acts as a transportation of nutrients and oxygen to the body's tissue while also removing waste. Responsible for carrying the following: -Hormones -Plasma proteins. -Ions such as chloride, bicarbonate, and sodium -gases. -Food materials such as carbs, amino acids, lipids |
|
What does the non plasma part of the blood brain? |
-Red blood cells.-Various white blood cells. -Platelets |
|
Methods of blood Transportation throughout the body |
Arteries and arterioles. Veins and venules. Capillaries |
|
Arteries |
When blood is pumped out of the heart, goes to the body through this. As it goes throughout the body becomes arterioles. |
|
Arterioles |
Smaller version of an artery that assist in carrying blood away from the heart |
|
Arteriosclerosis |
Condition in which the arteries become narrowed or hardened. Makes blood flow complicated and increases blood pressure. Is a common issue with older people |
|
Capillaries |
Arterial is eventually become this. Have thin walls that allow for nutrient, gas, and waste Exchange |
|
Venules |
After blood exchanges nutrients, gas, and waste exhange through capillaries, blood goes through here as it Journeys back to the heart. Eventually become bigger and become veins. |
|
Superior vena cava |
Vein that empties out the returning blood straight to the heart empties out the returning blood straight to the heart |
|
Pulmonary circulation |
Transfers returning blood to the right side of the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated and then over to the left side of the heart. |
|
Systemic circulation |
Two Chambers in the left side of the heart responsible for pumping blood out of the heart through the body |
|
Right atrium of the heart |
Receives deoxygenated blood from the veins |
|
Left atrium of the heart |
Receives oxygenated blood from pulmonary vein |
|
Left ventricle of the heart |
Collects blood from the left atrium and pumps it out into the body |
|
Right ventricle of the heart |
Collects blood from the right atrium and pumps blood to lungs to get oxygenated |
|
Valves of the heart that prevent backflow |
Pulmonary semilunar valve located on the right ventricle. Aortic semilunar valve located on the left ventricle |
|
Interventricular septum |
Muscle in the heart that separates the left and right Chambers and prevents blood from mixing |
|
Pulmonary circuit |
the process where blood that is depleted of oxygen goes into the heart,through into the lungs where carbon dioxide is released in exchange for oxygen |
|
Systemic circuit |
The process in which newly oxygenated blood comes from the heart through various tissues of the body |
|
Cardiac cycle |
The period of time from one heartpump to the next |
|
Systole |
The contraction phase when blood leaves ventricles of the heart |
|
Diastole |
The relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle during which blood fills the ventricles |
|
Components of the respiratory system |
nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, lary - to the lungs Through this pathway is transported and filtered through the lungs where gases exchanged within microscopic air sacs called alveoli |
|
Process of air flow with the respiratory system |
➡️ air first goes to the nostrils and mouth ➡️ Larynx ➡️trachea or windpipe ➡️ extends to 5th and 6th thoracic vertebrae ➡️ divides into secondary bronchi, one for each lobe of the lung ➡️ branches into tertiary bronchi ➡️ Branches into tiny bronchiolitis ➡️ Branches into Terminal bronchiole ➡️ Branches into respiratory bronchioles the end-up clustering into alveoli |
|
Alveoli |
Microscopic air sacs within the lungs where gas exchange occurs |
|
Rib cage |
Encases the lungs. Also holds the primary, secondary, tertiary, bronchi, as well as the varioles, bronchioles, and alveoli. |
|
Mediastinum |
The space that separates the lungs, also contains other organs such as the heart, aorta, esophagus, and trachea |
|
Diaphragm |
And the rest on here, pivotal for the ability to inhale. When the diaphragm contracts forces abdominal contents down will the muscles between the ribs lift outward. Allows for more air to come through. |
|
Accesory Muscles used to help with inspiration |
Pectoralis minor, scalenes, sternocleidomastoid. |
|
Expiration |
Exhaling of air. Happens passively during normal, quiet breathing, requiring no assistance from muscle action. Enter During exercise, becomes more active Enter During exercise, becomes more active |
|
Muscles that help with Expiration |
Rectus abdominis, internal obliques, serratus posterior, internal intercostals. A to squeeze out organs upward toward diaphragm during expiration |
|
Lymphatic system |
Consists of network of capillaries, collecting vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs. Serves to return excess lymph fluid from between the South back into the blood. |
|
Functions of the lymphatic system |
-Destroys bacteria and other foreign things in lymph nodes.-Response to Aid in manufacturing antibodies in order to destroy the bacteria.-Returns interstitial fluid to the bloodstream.-Prevents excessive accumulation of tissue fluid and filter teens by draining into lymphatic capillaries and connective tissues |
|
Cardiorespiratory endurance |
Capacity of the heart to deliver blood and oxygen to working muscles during exercise. Influenced by cardiovascular and respiratory systems |
|
Things that must occur in order for adequate blood and nutrients to go to tissues |
. 1.Pulmonary ventilation 2. .Cardiac output 3. .The ability to extract oxygen from the blood and completes the metabolic production of ATP |
|
Oxygen carrying capacity |
The ability of the blood to carry oxygen to tissues. Determined by the ability to ventilate the alveoli and the amount of hemoglobin available in the blood blood |
|
Tidal volume |
Measures the rate and depth of breathing. Helps to define how much is carried to the blood |
|
Hemoglobin |
Protein in red blood blood cells.Binds with oxygen and then is carried to the bloodstream .Binds with oxygen and then is carried to the bloodstream - low hemoglobin = not able to bring oxygen to bloodstream. Ex. Anemic ppl have low hemoglobim. - in one mother hemoglobin doesn't bind very well . |
|
Measures of cardiovascular endurance |
Capacity of the heart to deliver blood and oxygen to muscles during exercise. |
|
Cardiac output equation |
heart rate in beats per minute x stroke volume or the quantity of blood pumped per heartbeat Heart rate rises in a linear fashion, while stroke volume increases to about 40 to 50% and then plateaus |
|
Ejection fraction |
-The percentage of end-diastolic volume that is a ejected with each contraction of the heart. -Influenced by heart rate and stroke volume which increases with increase in heart rate. - |
|
Oxygen extraction |
-how much oxygen extracted from blood -Factor in determining cardiorespiratory endurance. - increased training increases the number and size of mitochondria which is needed to produce ATP. |
|
Hormones |
Chemical substances by their storage arrived or synthesized from amino acids |
|
Endocrine system |
Regulates body activities through hormones |
|
Pituitary gland |
Master gland Divided into posterior lobes and interior lobes. Located beneath the brain |
|
Posterior lobe |
Part of the pituitary gland releases two hormones vasopressin and oxytocin |
|
Vasopressin |
Aka ADH. Hormone released by the posterior pituitary lobe. Considered a antidiuretic inhibiting urine production and aides in the retention of bodily fluid Preserves plasma volume and osmolality |

Gonadotropins |
Follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones. controls the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries and the production of testosterone in the testicles |
|
Thyroid stimulating hormone |
Hormone released by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland, Lewis's thyroxine from the thyroid which helps the rate in whichcells utilize oxygen |
|
Adrenocorticotropin hormone |
Hormone released by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland, controls the secretion in the adrenal gland hormones that influence metabolism of carbohydrates, sodium, potassium. Also controls how these substances are changed between the blood and tissues |
|
Growth hormone |
Hormone produced by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland, helps growth of the skeletal muscle as well as general growt. promotes amino acids to incorporate protein and release fatty acids into the bloodstream for energy. |
|
Prolactin |
Hormone produced by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland, maintains and initiates breast milk production and secretion in females |
|
Thyroid glands |
Glands of the endocrine system, located in the anterior portion of the trachea. It releases three hormones throxin, triiodothrytonine, and calcitonin |
|
Iodine hormones produced by the thyroid gland |
Thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Regulates the metabolism of carbs, proteins, lipids. Increases body's oxygen consumption and heat production |
|
Calcitonin |
Produced by the thyroid gland, it's a hormone that lowers calcium and phosphate levels bye making it faster for the bones to absorb calcium. |
|
Parathyroid glands |
Part of the endocrine system. Releases the hormone parathyroid which controls calcium levels and phosphorus levels do the kidney and the skeleton. Also increases... which helps to break down bone calcium for release into the blood and works with vitamin D to maintain calcium levels |
|
Adrenal glands |
Endocrine glands located at the kidney period has two pyramid shaped organs. each gland contains a medulla and a cortex. Part of fight or flight of sympathetic nervous system |
|
Adrenal medulla |
Releases fight or flight hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine |
|
Epinephrine |
Hormone released by The Adrenal medulla period a flight or fight hormone. elevates blood levels, dilates blood vessels that feed the heart lungs and skeletal muscles. |
|
