Chapter 42: Circulatory System
Circulatory System – Heart, blood, & vessels
 Functions
o Transports dissolved gases, nutrients, hormones, & metabolic wastes (e.g. urea, lactic acid)
o Regulation of pH, electrolytes (ions)
o Repair damaged tissue & vessels
o Defense against toxins & pathogens
o Stabilization of body temp
 Open Circulatory System
o Insects (most arthropods), & most molluscs
o Hemolymph bathes organs directly
 No distinction b/w blood & interstitial fluid (just body fluid)
o ‘Heart’ pumps into open cavities
 Closed Circulatory System
o Annelids, cephalopods, & vertebrates
o Blood confined to vessels & distinct from interstitial fluid
o More efficient at transporting circulatory fluids to tissues & cells
Cardiovascular System – Circulatory & Lymphatic Systems
 Blood Vessels (~50,000 miles)
o Arteries
 Carry blood away from heart
 Branch into arterioles which lead to capillary beds
 Heavy smooth muscle w/ elastin fibers, endothelial lining
 Deals w/ high pressure
 Very elastic (arterioles = less)
o Veins
 Return blood to the heart
 Capillaries converge into venules, then converge into veins
 Same layers w/ less muscle
 Very low pressure
 B/w muscles (contract = blood moves)
 Valves – prevent blood backflow
 Diaphragm pressure also moves blood
o Capillaries
 Thin-walled vessel
 One endothelial cell thick
 Facilitates exchange using all diffusion & bulk transport types
 Form dense, branched beds; 1,000 mi2 (only 250 of 5,000 ml of blood)
 Nutrient Exchange
 Occurs b/w blood & interstitial fluid across thin endothelial walls
 Difference b/w blood pressure & osmotic pressure drives fluids…
o Out of capillaries at arteriole end
o Into capillaries at the venule end
 Most blood proteins & all blood cells too large to pass thru endothelium
 Lymphatic System
o Transports lipids from digestion
o Returns interstitial fluid back to circulatory system
 Thoracic Duct drains into subclavian vein in neck
o Lymph has lymphocytes (WBCs)
o Valves in lymph vessels prevent backflow of fluid
o Lymph Nodes
 Oval shaped gland
 Filled w/ honey-combed sacs made from connective tissue
 Space filled w/ lymphocytes
 Filter foreign materials & fight infections (multiply = swelling)
o Lymph Organs: Thymus, spleen, tonsils
 ‘Educate’ lymphocytes that are made in bone marrow

4 muscular chambers enclosed in pericardium (i.e. sac)
 2 Atria – collect venous blood & pump into…
 2 Ventricles – pump blood to lungs & body
Cardiac Muscle
 Striated & involuntary
Cardiac Valves
 Atrioventricular Valves (lub)
 B/w Atria & Ventricles
o Close during systole
 Right = Tricuspid Valve
 Left = Bicuspid Valve
 Semilunar Valves (dub)
 B/w Ventricles & 1st artery
o Close during diastole
 Right Ventricle & Pulmonary Artery
 Left Ventricle & Aorta
Cardiac Cycle
 Diastole – low pressure
 Ventricles relax (& filled)
 Atria contract
 Systole – high pressure
 Ventricles contract (& pump)
 Atria relax
Cardiac Output
 Blood volume pumped per minute
 = Heart rate (beats/minute) & Stroke volume (amount pumped)
Heartbeat
 Occurs w/o nervous stimulation
 Contraction starts in Right Atrium
 Sinoatrial (SA) Node = Pacemaker
 Cell mass that starts heartbeat
 Impulse spreads thru gap junctions & causes atrial contraction
 Atrioventricular (AV) node
 B/w Right Atrium & Ventricle
 Impulse pauses to allow full filling of ventricles
 Impulse spreads thru Bundle of HIS (‘hiss’) & Purkinje Fibers (muscle)
 Ventricles Contract
Cardiac Control
 Pacemaker regulated by…
 Nervous System
o Sympathetic speeds up heart
 Accelerator nerve from spine (spinal nerve)
o Parasympathetic slows down heart
 Vagus nerve form brain (cranial nerve)
 Hormones (epinephrine = fast)
 Temperature
 Blood Flow
 High resistance = slow flow
o Capillaries have highest resistance & slowest flow
 Vasodilation – smooth muscles relax in arterioles; blood pressure down
o Nitric oxide is a major inducer
 Vasoconstriction – smooth muscles contract in arteriole walls; blood pressure up
 Precapillary sphincters can reduce capillary blood flow; helps divert blood elsewhere

Pulmonary Circulation
 Right Ventricle-Lungs-Left Atrium
 Right Ventricle pumps de-oxy blood through Pulmonary Arteries
 Arteries to arterioles to lung capillaries
o O2 in & CO2 out (now oxy blood)
 Capillaries to Venules to Pulmonary Veins to Left Atrium
o Systemic Circulation
Systemic Circulation
 Left Ventricle-Body-Right Atrium
 Left Ventricle pumps oxy blood through Aorta to…
 Systemic Arteries to arterioles to body capillaries
 Venules to Superior & Inferior Vena Cavae to Right Atrium
 Systemic Divisions
 Coronary Circuit – Heart
o Coronary Arteries & Veins
 Cranial Circuit – Head
o Carotid Arteries & Jugular Veins
 Brachial Circuit – arms
o Brachial Arteries & Subclavian Veins
 Mesenteric Circuit – Digestive System & Liver
o Mesenteric Arteries, Hepatic Portal Vein, Hepatic Vein
 Renal Circuit – Kidney
o Renal Arteries & Veins
 Lower Appendage Circuit – legs
o Femoral Arteries & Iliac Veins

 Cellular fragments that bud off from large stem cells in marrow
 Plays a critical role in coagulation (formation of solid clot from liquid blood)
 Blood Clotting
 Triggered when endothelium damaged & connective tissue exposed
 Platelets adhere to collagen
o Release substance making surface sticky & more platelets stick
o Tissue Factor (III; protein) released by damaged cells & platelets (starts
cascade)
 Clotting Cascade
o Mulit-step Clotting Factor cascade ends w/ inactive prothrombin (II)
converted into thrombin
 Turns fibrinogen (I) into fiber
 Surround platelets & RBCs
 Shrink, pull together = clot
o Thrombus – clot inside blood vessel
 Embolus – free-floating thrombus

Cardiovascular Disease
 Disorders of heart & vessels
 #1 cause of death worldwide
 Cholesterol
o Steroid used to keep membrane fluidity (temp buffer)
o Low-density lipoprotein (LDL from liver) delivers cholesterol to cells for membrane production
o High-density lipoprotein (HDL) scavenges cholesterol for return to liver
o High LDL/HDL ratio = High risk of heart disease
 Atherosclerosis
o Growth of plaques in inner wall of arteries
 Narrows lumen
o Endothelium Inflammation (injury) starts process
 LDL enters artery lining; macrophages come & engulf (form foam cells)
 Extracellular matrix forms attracting more LDL & macrophages (plaque grows)
o Plaque can rupture; blood clot formed
o Arteriosclerosis (artery hardening) occurs if calcium is deposited
 Blockages
 Heart Attack (myocardial infarction)
o Death of cardiac muscle tissue resulting from blockage of one or more coronary arteries (supply oxy
blood to heart muscle)
 Stroke
o Death of nervous tissue in brain, usually resulting from rupture or blockage of arteries in head
 Angina pectoris
o Caused by partial blockage of coronary arteries & results in chest pains
 Hypertension
o High Blood Pressure
 Promotes atherosclerosis & increases risk of heart attack & stroke
 Increases chances of endothelium inflammation (increases pressure)
o Can be reduced by dietary changes, exercise, and/or medication
