Types of Blood Vessels
ARTERIES
Arterioles
capillaries
Venules
VEINS
Structure of Blood Vessels
• Tunica Intima: thin innermost layer of endothelium
• Tunica Media: middle layer of smooth muscle; thickest layer
• Tunica Externa: outermost layer; fibrous
Structure of Blood Vessels
• Capillaries
– Only have tunica intima to easily let things in and out
• What passes into and out of the capillaries??
– CO2/O2, nutrients/waste

Blood Flowing Through the Heart
Re‐Label ALL parts (including valves)
Refresh your memory…
• In order to push blood OUT of the heart what part(s) of the heart contract(s)?
– ventricles
• Do the contractions occur simultaneously or at separate times?
– simultaneously
Vocab Differences
• Atrioventricular (AV) valves = tricupsid & mitral (bicupsid) valves
• Semilunar (SV) valves= pulmonary & aortic valves
Heart Sounds
• Heart beat sounds like Lub dup
– Lub
• AV valves close after atrial systole
– Dup
• Closing of semilunar valves after ventricular systole
– Pause
• Refilling of chambers
Cardiac Cycle (heart beat)
= alternate periods of:
ƒ Diastole: muscle relaxed; chambers filling; blood flowing passively
ƒ Systole: muscle contract; chambers empty; signal for blood to move in appropriate direction
What makes gas exchange in the capillaries?
• Pressure
• Things move from a __________ pressure to ___________ pressure.
Pressure Presence
• Pressure within heart chambers will cause valves to open & close like a door opening & closing

Atria RELAXED
SV valves= CLOSED
AV valves= OPEN
Blood flow from veins INTO heart (atria)

Atria CONTRACT
SV valves= CLOSED
AV vales= OPEN
Blood moves into ventricle
3. Ventricular Systole
• Ventricle CONTRACT
• AV valves = CLOSE (LUB)
• Because AV valves close…
– Volume decreased
– Pressure increase
• Causes SV valves to OPEN. Blood flow into artery
4. Ventricular Diastole
• Ventricle RELAX
• SV valves CLOSE (DUP)
• AV valves OPEN
• Restart process

• What purpose do the valves serve?
Cardiac Cycle & Heart Sounds
1) Atrial Diastole: blood flowing into atria
2) Atrial Systole: blood flowing into ventricles
3) Ventricular systole: ventricles contract, atria diastole/relax
1) AV valves close: prevent backflow (Lub)
4) Ventricular diastole: atria filling, ventricles relaxing
1) SV valves close: prevent backflow (Dup)

Controlling the heart
• Nodal System
– The Pacemaker
– Special tissue that is a cross between muscle and nervous tissue that controls heart contractions
• Three parts:
1. Sinoatrial node
2. Atrioventricular node
3. Atrioventricular bundles
Nodal System
• Sinoatrial Node
– Located in the right atrium
– starts each heart beat
• Atrioventricular Node
– Located at junction between atria and ventricles
Nodal System
• Atrioventricular Bundles
– Branch off from the AV node and trigger ventricular contraction
SA Node starts

Cardiac Cycle
During what phase do the AV valves close?
‐ Ventricular Systole
During what phase do the SV valves open?
‐Ventricular Diastole
During what phase do the SV valves close?
‐Ventricular Diastole
Where are the SA & AV nodes?
Combining Cardiac Cycle & Nodes
Place these events in order during a heart beat:
1. Atria fill with blood
2. SV valves close
3. AV valves close
4. SA node receives signal
5. Atrioventricular Bundles receive impulse
6. Ventricles contract (systole)
Correct Order
• 4, 1, 5, 6, 3, 2

WoM
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Recording of electrical changes that occur in heart tissue during one heart beat (or cardiac cycle)
• Electrodes are placed on skin & wires are connected to a machine that responds to weak electrical changes. ECG Pattern
• Several waves
– P wave: depolarize atria by SA node
– QRS complex: depolarization of ventricle by AV node to AV bundles (larger electrical change b/c ventricular walls are thicker than atria)
• Atria repolarizing at same time
– T wave: after contraction of ventricle, repolarization of ventricles
Label what happens at each wave

Heart Rate
• Controlled by SA node
– Impulses sent from medulla oblongata which receives sensory impulses & relays motor impulse back to the heart.
– Impulses from cerebrum or hypothalamus can influence rate
• Decrease heart rate after you faint
• Increase heart rate b/c of anxiety
Heart Rate
• Also affected by temperature & ions
– High body temperature (fever) increased rate
– Low body temperature decreased rate
– K+ & Ca++ if too much or too little
Circulation Physiology
• Vital Signs
– Pulse
– Blood Pressure
Pulse
• Expansion and contraction of arteries
• Pressure Points (aka pulse points)
– Locations on the body where the arteries are close to the surface and are easily felt
Pressure Points
Acupuncture
• Eastern medicine– not western medically proven to work.
– Needles in pressure points to find chi/balance of body’s force
Blood Pressure
• Pressure blood exerts on the walls of blood vessels

Factors Affecting Blood Pressure
• Neural Factors
– Nerves can cause blood vessels to constrict
• Renal Factors (Kidneys)
– Changes the amount of water in blood which changes blood volume which changes pressure
• Temperature
– Coldness causes blood vessels to constrict
– Heat causes them to dilate
Factors Affecting Blood Pressure
• Chemicals
– Drugs (including alcohol) alter heart rate and can cause blood vessels to dilate or constrict
• Diet
– Salts, saturated fats, and cholesterol can lead to high blood pressure
Blood Pressure
• Hypotension
– Low blood pressure (< 100 mmHg)
– Most commonly caused by blood loss
• Hypertension
– High blood pressure (> 140/90)
– Long‐term effects: strains heart and damages blood vessels

How does one measure the strength of a heart?
Cardiac Output
• Cardiac Output (CO)
– Amount of blood pumped out by each side of the heart in 1 minute (ml/min)
• Stroke Volume (SV)
– Volume of blood pumped out by a ventricle with each heart beat (ml/beat)
• Heart Rate (HR)
– Number of beats per minute (bpm)
Cardiac Output
• Equation
• CO = HR x SV
• Example: Average heart rate is 70 bpm and the average stroke volume is 70 ml/beat. What is the average cardiac output?
• If a person has a larger heart, how would this affect his/her cardiac output?
To increase cardiac output…
• Increase heart rate
– When might your body do this?
• Increase stroke volume
– How might your body do this?
Composition of Blood
I. Functions
1. Transports nutrients, oxygen, wastes, hormones
2. Maintains stability of fluid between tissues
3. Distributes heat
What is blood made of?
1. Solid (formed elements) 55%
A. Red blood cells
B. White blood cells
C. Platelets
2. Liquids 45%
D. Plasma
A. Red Blood Cells
aka erythrocytes
• Shape: biconcave disc (like a lifesaver or donut)
• How the shape helps the RBC to function:
– Increase surface area through which gases diffuse
Sickle‐cell Anemia
• Mutation causes hemoglobin to crystalize when O2 is not present
• Bends the RBCs into sickle shape
• Blocks circulation in small blood vessels
• Results in joint pain, organ damage
• FYI: 1 copy of mutationÆ immunity from malaria; 2 copies of mutation Æ sickle cell disease
B. White Blood Cells
aka leukocytes
• Five types
• Function: protect against disease
– Produce proteins (antibodies) that destroy foreign particles.
– Phagocytize (eat) bacterial cells.
C. Platelets
• Aka thrombocytes
• Structure:
– Not complete cells
– Come from large cells in bone marrow that fragment
• Function:
– Controls blood loss from broken blood vessels
– Initaite blood clots
D. Plasma
• Water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, cellular waste.
