9. Location of
Heart in
Thorax:
between the
lungs
Your heart is a pump. It's a muscular
organ about the size of your fist and
located slightly left of center in your
chest.
Heart wall is formed by
three layers
1. Pericardium:
outside layer
2. Myocardium:
middle layer,
mostly cardiac
muscle (striated
and involuntary)
3. Endocardium:
inner layer
autore: Elena Bruno. Tirocinio, corso di
perfezionamento CLIL
10. The heart is divided into the right and the left side. The division protects
oxygen-rich blood from mixing with oxygen-poor blood.
Valves keep blood moving in
the correct direction
Each side of the heart has
an atrium, the upper
chamber, and a
ventricle, the lower
chamber
Valves open as
blood is pumped
through
Close to
prevent
backflow
autore: Elena Bruno. Tirocinio, corso di
perfezionamento CLIL
11. A beating heart contracts and relaxes. Contraction is called systole,
and relaxation is called diastole.
During systole,
your ventricles
contract, forcing
blood into the
vessels going to
your lungs and
body — much like
ketchup being
forced out of a
squeeze bottle….
During diastole
your ventricles
relax and are
filled with
blood coming
from the upper
chambers, the
left and right
atria

22. First of all: the right part of the heart is syncronized with the left one, they
work together in the same way, nevertheless we will simplify the circuit of
blood flow considering first what happens in the right part of the heart and
then in the left….GOOD WORK!

Task
Dramatization of the Blood's Trip
Through the Heart (file in word)
30. START Arteries deriving from aorta carry blood to arteriole, then blood
enters capillaries located in the tissues
Blood moves from pulmonary capillaries into venules and then veins
Blood moves from pumonary ccour
Left atrium contracts (systole) , pumps blood into relaxed ventricle
(diastole)
Left ventricle contracts, pumps blood into aorta
Oxygen moves from blood in the capillaries to cells, carbon dioxide
moves in the opposite way
Poor oxygen blood from capillaries enters venules, then veins and
returns to the right part of the heart via superior and inferior vena
cava
Pulmonary veins carry the oxygenated blood to the left side of the
heart.
right atrium contracts, pumps blood into the relaxed ventricle
Right ventricle contracts, pumps blood into pulmonary arteries
arteries in arteriole and then pulmonary capillaries where gas
exchanges o

33. Blood is pumped by the heart into large arteries, it then flows into smaller arterioles and finally
into a network of capillaries. The blood passes from capillaries into venules, then larger veins
and returns to the heart
Arteries and veins
have three layers
(tunics)
1. Tunic intima with
an epitelium
called
Endothelium
2. Tunic media
composed by
unvoluntary
smooth muscle
3. Tunic externa,
mostly fibrous
connective tissue
autore: Elena Bruno. Tirocinio, corso di
perfezionamento CLIL
34. Blood vessel Function Adaptions
Artery
carry blood away from heart
at high pressure
thick, elastic, muscular walls
to withstand pressure and to
exert force (pulse)
Capillary
allow exchange of materials
between blood and tissues
thin permeable walls
Vein
return low pressure blood to
heart
Large diameter to offer least
flow resistance. Valves to
prevent back flow.
The structure of blood vessels is
correlated with their functions:
autore: Elena Bruno. Tirocinio, corso di
perfezionamento CLIL
35. By the time the blood reaches the
veins, its pressure has dropped to
near zero. When the muscle of the
body conctract, they squeeze blood
to the heart. Moreover, valves along
veins prevent backflow. When these
valves don’t close properly, you have
varicose veins.

38. Thin- walled capillaries allow
exchanges of gas, nutrients and
waste products with tissues
Oxygen passes for diffusion
through the capillary wall and into
the tissues, carbon dioxide passes
from the tissues into the blood
Capillaries bed= capilllaries net
O2 CO2
autore: Elena Bruno. Tirocinio, corso di

39. Blood pressure: the force that is exerted by blood against blood
vessel walls
Blood pressure is highest in large arteries BUT will rise and fall as heart pumps, in fact
you have
• highest pressure (systolic pressure) with left ventricular systole (blood is forced into
aorta)
• lowest pressure with ventricular diastole (diastolic pressure)
Pressure in blood vessels decreases as the distance away from
the heart increases
Measurements by health professionals are made on the pressure in large arteries

To understand ventilation, it is necessary to realize that the lungs adhere to the
thoracic cavity by way of the pleura.
During inspiration,
the thoracic cavity
and, therefore, the
lungs expand so
that air is drawn
in.
During expiration,
the thoracic
cavity and,
therefore, the
lungs resume their
original positions
and pressures.
Now air is forced
out.
