This document summarizes the main components of the cardiovascular system, including the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood. It describes the heart's location and layers (epicardium, myocardium, endocardium). The heart chambers are the atria and ventricles, separated by septa. The document lists the four heart valves - tricuspid, bicuspid, pulmonic, and aortic - and their locations. It provides a brief overview of the pulmonary and systemic circulations, describing how deoxygenated blood flows from the heart to the lungs to become oxygenated before returning to the heart.

3. Component of Cardiovascular System
1) The Heart
2) Blood Vessels
– Arteries and Arterioles
– Veins and Venules
– Capillaries
3) Blood

4. The Heart
Location:-
Muscular organ located between the lungs
Covering of Heart:-
• Pericardium
• Serous fluid

5. Layers of Heart:-
Epicardium
• Outside layer
• Connective tissue layer
Myocardium
• Middle layer
• Mostly cardiac muscle
Endocardium
• Inner layer

6. The Heart Chambers:-
 Atria
• Thin-walled upper chambers
• Separated by atrial septum
• receiving chamber
 Ventricles
• Lower chambers
• make up the bulk of the muscle
mass of the heart
• Separated by intraventricular septum

7. The Heart Valves:-
Tricuspid valve
◦ Separates right atrium from right ventricle
Bicuspid valve
◦ Separates left atrium from left ventricle
Pulmonic valve
◦ Separates right ventricle from pulmonary artery
Aortic valve
◦Separates left ventricle from aorta .

9. The Pulmonary Circulation
the right side of the heart as the right ventricle pumps blood into
the pulmonary artery.
The pulmonary artery then carries the de-oxygenated blood to the
lungs
The blood is then oxygenated, while at the same time carbon-
dioxide is removed into the lungs

10. The Pulmonary Circulation

12. The Systemic Circulation
