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

Oxytocin

Stimulates smooth muscles oforgans and intestines

Hormones released in the interior portion of the pituitary gland

follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) luteinizing hormone (LH)


thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) growth hormone (Gh)


and prolactin.

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.

Norepinephrine

Flight or fight hormone released by The Adrenal medulla. Increases heart rate and muscle contraction constricts blood vessels

Adrenal cortex

Manages stress through production of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids associated with alderstone and cortisol

Pancreas

while producing digestive enzymes, it also is an endocrine gland that produces hormones that regulates metabolism of carbohydrates. Secretes insulin and glycogen to maintain blood glucose levels

Insulin

Secreted by the pancreas, takes in glycogen and uses it


- assists with lipid and protein

Glucagon

Hormones secreted by the pancreas, it decreases glucose and releases it to.

Gonads

Promotes sex specific characteristics and regulate reproductive function.

Aldersterone

One of the hormones released by Adrenal cortex.


- limits sodium excretion


- maintains electrolyte balance

Cortisol

Hormone released by Adrenal cortex.
