 Permits blood flow from heart to cells and back to the heart.
 Arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins.
 Lymphatic System:
 Lymphatic vessels transport interstitial fluid.
 Lymph nodes cleanse lymph prior to return in venous blood.

IVMS CV- Comprehensive Overview of Heart and Circulation

  • 1. Heart and Circulation An Integrated Basic Medical Sciences Perspective and Presentation Prepared and presented by: Marc Imhotep Cray, M.D. BMS/CK-CS Teacher
  • 2. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Companion articles notebook 2 Open Physiology of CVS articles
  • 3. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3 Components and Functions of Circulatory System  Cardiovascular System (CV):  Heart:  Pumping action creates pressure head needed to push blood through vessels.  Blood vessels:  Permits blood flow from heart to cells and back to the heart.  Arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins.  Lymphatic System:  Lymphatic vessels transport interstitial fluid.  Lymph nodes cleanse lymph prior to return in venous blood.
  • 4. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 Functions of the Circulatory System (continued)  Regulation:  Hormonal:  Carry hormones to target tissues to produce their effects.  Temperature:  Divert blood to cool or warm the body.  Protection:  Blood clotting.  Immune:  Leukocytes, cytokines and complement act against pathogens.
  • 5. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 5 Composition of Blood  Plasma:  Straw-colored liquid.  Consists of H20 and dissolved solutes.  Ions, metabolites, hormones, antibodies.  Na+ is the major solute of the plasma.  Plasma proteins:  Constitute 7-9% of plasma.  Albumin:  Accounts for 60-80% of plasma proteins.  Provides the colloid osmotic pressure needed to draw H20 from interstitial fluid to capillaries.  Maintains blood pressure.
  • 6. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 6  Plasma proteins (continued):  Globulins:  a globulin:  Transport lipids and fat soluble vitamins.  b globulin:  Transport lipids and fat soluble vitamins.  g globulin:  Antibodies that function in immunity.  Fibrinogen:  Constitutes 4% of plasma proteins.  Important clotting factor.  Converted into fibrin during the clotting process. Composition of the Blood (continued)
  • 7. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 7  Serum:  Fluid from clotted blood.  Does not contain fibrinogen.  Plasma volume:  Number of regulatory mechanisms in the body maintain homeostasis of plasma volume.  Osmoreceptors.  ADH.  Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Composition of the Blood (continued)
  • 8. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 8 Erythrocytes  Flattened biconcave discs.  Provide increased surface area through which gas can diffuse.  Lack nuclei and mitochondria.  Half-life ~ 120 days.  Each RBC contains 280 million hemoglobin with 4 heme chains (contain iron).  Removed from circulation by phagocytic cells in liver, spleen, and bone marrow.
