The Capillary Beds
The Cardiovascular System Heart – the pump Vasculature – the conduits Pulmonary circuit Systemic circuit
The Vasculature A closed system of vessels that moves blood around the body Arterial vessels: aorta, arteries, arterioles (vascular resistance) Carry blood away from the  heart to the: Capillary beds Venous vessels: venules, veins, venae cavae  Carry blood toward the heart
 
3 layers of an artery 1. Adventitia: tough covering. 2. Media: muscle and elastic membrane 3. Intima: delicate inner lining.
 
 
The Heart A 4-chambered organ located in the middle mediastinum

Right Atrium (RA) Receives blood from the body or systemic venous circulation Forms the right cardiac border Receives blood from vena cava (SVC & IVC) and coronary sinus
Right Ventricle (RV) Provides blood flow to the pulmonary circuit Low pressure pump <35 mmHg Crescent-shaped  wraps around the LV Most anterior heart structure

Editor's Notes

  • #31 These are casts of human coronary arteries and ventricles with the muscle dissolved away. So, what we see are the interior contents of the chambers and vessels as on an angiogram. Note the color legend. Each persons coronary arrangement is different, especially the crux area which determines coronary dominance. This model is fairly normal, except here the diagonals arise perpendicularly to the LAD. From Hurst, Atlas of the Heart.
  • #37 Schematic of the evolution of the atherosclerotic plaque. Accumulation of lipoprotein particles in the intima. The modification of these lipoproteins is depicted by the darker color. Modifications include oxidation and glycation. Oxidative stress including products found in modified lipoproprotiens can induce local cytokine elaboration. The cytokines thus induce increased expression of adhesion molecules for leukocytes that cause their attachment and chemoattractant molecules that direct their migration into the intima. Blood monocytes, on entering the artery wall in response to chemoattractant cytokines such as monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), encounter stimuli such as macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) that can augment their expression of scavenger receptors. Scavenger receptors mediate the uptake of modified lipoprotein particles and promote the development of foam cells. Macrophage foam cells are a source of mediators such as further cytokines and effector molecules such as hypochlorous acid, superoxide anion (02-), and matrix metalloproteinases. Smooth muscle cells in the intima divide, and other smooth muscle cells migrate into the intima from the media. Smooth muscle cells can then divide promoting extracellular matrix accumulation in the growing atherosclerotic plaque. In this manner, the fatty streak can evolve into a fibrofatty lesion. In later stages, calcification can occur (not depicted) and fibrosis continues, sometimes accompanied by smooth muscle cell death (including programmed cell death, or apoptosis), yielding a relatively acellular fibrous capsule surrounding a lipid-rich core that may also contain dying or dead cells and their detritus. LDL = low-density lipoprotein; IL-1 = interleukin-1.
