In the hepatic portal system, blood travels from the intestines through the liver and to a vena cava. 12.3 The Vascular Pathways • The beat of the heart supplies pressure that keeps blood moving in the arteries – Systolic Pressure results from blood forced into the arteries during ventricular systole. – Diastolic Pressure is the pressure in the arteries during ventricular diastole. • Blood pressure – Normally measured with a sphygmomanometer on the brachial artery. – Expressed in the form: Systolic “over” Diastolic (120/80) • Skeletal muscle contraction pushes blood in the veins toward the heart. Velocity and Blood Pressure Related to Vascular Cross-Sectional Area Cross Section of Valve in a Vein 12.4 Blood • Plasma – Liquid portion of the blood • Formed Elements – Red blood cells – White blood cells – Platelets 12.4 Blood • Blood has: – Transport functions – Regulatory functions – Protective functions Composition of Blood 12.4 Blood • Plasma – Contains inorganic and organic substances dissolved or suspend in water – Plasma proteins • Various functions – Transport of substances, blood clotting, fighting disease • Help maintain blood volume 12.4 Blood • Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) – – – – Manufactured in red bone marrow 4-6 million per mm3 of whole blood Shape is biconcave disc, they also lack a nucleus Contain hemoglobin • Red iron-containing pigment • Heme portion binds oxygen • Carbon monoxide (a pollutant) can also bind at heme sites – Combines more readily than oxygen – Can be lethal Physiology of Red Blood Cells 12.4 Blood • Red Blood Cells Continued – Red blood cells last around 120 days and then are destroyed in the liver and spleen – Too few red blood cells results in anemia – A lack of iron also causes anemia 12.4 Blood • White Blood Cells (Leukocytes) – Nucleated – Lack Hemoglobin – 4,000 - 11,000 cells per mm3 of whole blood – Role is to fight infection and provide immunity 12.4 Blood • White Blood Cells – Granulocytes-have visible granules in cytoplasm • Neutrophils- most abundant leukocyte, phagocytic • Basophils-granules stain deep blue and release histamine • Eosinophils-granules stain red, fight parasitic worms – Agranulocytes- lack visible granules • Lymphocytes-T and B cells, play roles in immunity • Monocytes-largest WBC’s, phagocytic 12.4 Blood • White Blood Cells – The number or cell count of specific types of leukocytes can be used in diagnosing disease. • Infectious mononucleosis • AIDS • Leukemia 12.4 Blood • The Platelets and Blood Clotting – The Platelets • Form as a result of fragmentation of large cells in the red bone marrow • 150,000-300,000 per mm3 of whole blood • Involved in the process of clotting 12.4 Blood • The Platelets and Blood Clotting – Blood Clotting • Platelets form a plug for immediate stoppage of bleeding • Vessels release prothrombin activator and injured tissues release thromboplastin – Thromboplastin stimulates further release of prothrombin activator • • • • – Requires calcium Prothrombin activator activates the plasma protein prothrombin to thrombin Thrombin activates fibrinogen to fibrin which forms a clot Clot is composed of network of fibrin threads and trapped cells As damage heals, plasmin breaks down the clot Blood Clotting 12.4 Blood • The Platelets and Blood Clotting – Hemophilia • Inherited disorder • Deficiency in a clotting factor • Internal bleeding can cause serious damage to cells and tissues • Hemophilia is treated by blood transfusions and injections of clotting factors. 12.4 Blood • Bone Marrow Stem Cells – Cells which are capable of dividing and differentiating into particular cell types • Red and white blood cells • Some may even be able to give rise to liver, bone, fat, cartilage, heart, and nerve cells • May provide solutions for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s – Many researchers prefer to work with embryonic stem cells since they are totipotent (can become any cell type) Blood Cell Formation in Red Bone Marrow 12.4 Blood • Capillary Exchange – Two forces control movement through capillary wall • Osmotic pressure tends to cause water to move from tissues to blood; due to presence of plasma proteins and salts • Hydrostatic pressure (blood pressure) tends to cause water to move from blood to tissues – At arterial end of capillary hydrostatic pressure is higher so water moves out-contributes to tissue fluids – Midway through capillary these forces are equalized so no net movement of water • Solutes now move down their gradients 12.4 Blood • Capillary Exchange – At the venous end osmotic pressure is greater than hydrostatic pressure so water moves into capillary – Almost the same amount of water gets reabsorbed that left the capillary at the arterial end – The small amount of fluid remaining behind can be absorbed by lymphatic vessels Capillary Exchange in the Systemic Circuit Lymphatic Capillaries 12.5 Cardiovascular Disorders • Atherosclerosis – Plaque formation in vessels caused by fats and cholesterol – Interferes with blood flow – May be hereditary – Prevention • Diet high in fruits and vegetables • Low in saturated fats and cholesterol – Plaques can cause clots to form thrombus • If clot breaks loose it becomes a thromboembolism 12.5 Cardiovascular Disorders • Stroke, Heart Attack, and Aneurysm – Stroke (cerebro-vascular accident CVA): small cranial arteriole bursts or becomes blocked • Lack of oxygen to brain can cause paralysis or death • Warning signs: numbness in hands or face, difficulty speaking, temporary blindness in one eye – Heart attack (myocardial infarction) • A portion of the heart muscle deprived of oxygen • Angina pectoris-chest pain from partially blocked coronary artery • Heart attack occurs when vessel becomes completely blocked 12.5 Cardiovascular Disorders • Stroke, Heart Attack, and Aneurysm – Aneurysm- ballooning of a blood vessel • Most often in abdomen or brain • Atherosclerosis and hypertension can weaken walls of vessels leading to an aneurysm • Bursting of blood vessels can be fatal 12.5 Cardiovascular Disorders • Coronary Bypass Operations – Bypass blocked areas of coronary arteries – Can graft another vessel to the aorta and then to the blocked artery past the point of blockage – Gene therapy may be a future treatment 12.5 Cardiovascular Disorders • Clearing Clogged Arteries – Angioplasty • Catheter is placed in clogged artery • Balloon attached to catheter is inflated • Increases the lumen of the vessel • Stents can be placed to keep vessel open 12.5 Cardiovascular Disorders • Heart Transplants and Artificial Hearts – Usually successful but shortage of donors – LVAD-left ventricular assist device • • • • Alternative to heart transplant Tube passes blood from left ventricle to the LVAD Blood is pumped to the aorta LVAD are used as temporary measures until a donor heart becomes available – TAH-total artificial heart • Generally only used to very ill patients • Survival rates are not good but may be because patients are so ill 12.5 Cardiovascular Disorders • Hypertension (High blood pressure) – Affects about 20% of all Americans – Usually caused by a narrowing of the arteries – Age, gender, and lifestyle can influence blood pressure • Obesity • Smoking • High dietary salt intake – Medications can be used to treat this disease
