How Does Gravity Affect Blood Circulation?
• Most animals have a circulatory system that
transports O2 and nutrients to cells and takes away
CO2 and other wastes
• The circulatory system of land animals has evolved
adaptations to deal with gravity
–
Strong hearts are able to pump against the
force of gravity
–
Muscles contract around veins and force
blood to the heart through one-way valves
–
In snakes, wriggling contracts muscles,
squeezing veins and increasing circulation

23.1 The circulatory system connects with all
body tissues
• A circulatory system transports materials close
enough to cells for diffusion to occur
• Microscopic capillaries form an intricate
network among cells of a tissue
– Molecules from blood cells diffuse into
interstitial fluid and then into body cells
– Waste products diffuse from body cells
through interstitial fluid to capillaries for
transport to disposal organs

MECHANISMS OF INTERNAL TRANSPORT
23.2 Several types of internal transport have
evolved in animals
• Gastrovascular cavity
– Sufficient for animals in which diffusion can
transport molecules directly to the cells
– Examples: cnidarians, flatworms
• Open circulatory system
– Heart pumps blood through open-ended
vessels to bathe tissue cells directly; no
separate interstitial fluid
– Body movements help circulate blood
– Examples: most molluscs, all arthropods

• Closed circulatory systems
– Blood is confined to vessels, which keeps it
separate from the interstitial fluid
• Arteries carry blood away from heart to
tissues and organs
• Veins return blood to the heart
• Capillaries convey blood between arteries
and veins within each tissue
– Most arteries carry oxygen-rich blood and most
veins carry oxygen-depleted blood, but there are
important exceptions

23.3 Vertebrate cardiovascular systems reflect
evolution
• The switch from gill breathing to lung breathing in
terrestrial vertebrates was accompanied by
important changes in the cardiovascular system
• Single circuit in aquatic animals
– The two-chambered heart pumps blood from
gill capillaries to systemic capillaries and back
to the heart
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Double circulation in terrestrial vertebrates
– Pulmonary circuit carries blood between heart
and lungs
– Systemic circuit carries blood between heart
and rest of the body
– Amphibians: three-chambered heart
– Reptiles (except birds): three-chambered heart
with partially divided ventricle in most
– Birds and mammals: four-chambered heart
with ventricle completely divided
• Essential adaptation to support high
metabolic rate

THE MAMMALIAN CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
23.4 The human heart and cardiovascular system
are typical of mammals
• The mammalian heart
– Formed mostly of cardiac muscle tissue
– Two thin-walled atria receive blood and pump it
into the ventricles
– Thick-walled ventricles pump blood to lungs
and other body organs
– Valves maintain the flow in one direction

23.5 The structure of blood vessels fits their
functions
• Capillaries
– Thin walls with a single layer of epithelial cells
– Facilitate exchange of materials
• Arteries and veins
– Epithelium reinforced by layers of smooth
muscle and connective tissue
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
– Arteries
• Thicker walls accommodate the rapid
flow of blood and high pressure
• Smooth muscle can regulate blood
flow by constriction or relaxation
– Veins
• Thinner walls, under less pressure and
slower flow
• Valves prevent backflow

23.6 The heart contracts and relaxes rhythmically
• The cardiac cycle is a complete sequence of
filling and pumping
• Diastole
1. Heart is relaxed; blood flows from the veins
into all four chambers
• Systole
2. Atria contract briefly; ventricles completely fill
with blood
3. Ventricles contract; valves open and close;
blood pumps into the large arteries and then
flows into atria

• Cardiac output is the amount of blood/minute
pumped into the systemic circuit by the left
ventricle
• Heart valves prevent the backflow of blood
– “Lub-dup” sounds caused by the closing of
valves
– Heart murmur may indicate a valve defect
23.7 The pacemaker sets the tempo of the
heartbeat
• The pacemaker (SA node) maintains the heart’s
pumping rhythm
1. SA node generates electrical signals
2. Signals make atria contract in unison; are
delayed at AV node
3. Specialized muscle fibers relay signals to apex
of heart
4. Signals are relayed through walls of ventricles,
triggering contractions that drive blood out of
the heart

23.8 What is a heart attack?
• A heart attack is the death of cardiac muscle cells and the
resulting failure of the heart to deliver enough blood to the
rest of the body
– Results from blockage in coronary arteries
• Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the
United States
– Atherosclerosis: development of plaques on artery
walls, impeding blood flow
– Tendency may be inherited, but lifestyle changes can
reduce risk

23.9 Blood exerts pressure on vessel walls
• Blood pressure is the force blood exerts against
the walls of blood vessels
– Caused by pumping of the heart
– Can be felt as pulse, the rhythmic stretching of
the arteries
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Blood pressure and velocity depend partly on
cardiac output and partly on the resistance of
vessels
– Highest in the aorta and arteries
– Decrease abruptly as blood enters
arterioles because of friction between
blood and large surface area
– Lowest in capillaries, because crosssectional area is greatest
– Near zero in veins
• Blood returns to the heart with the aid
of muscular contractions and valves

23.10 Measuring blood pressure can reveal
cardiovascular problems
• Blood pressure indicates the force of the heart’s beating
during systole and the background pressure of the blood
in arteries during diastole
• Blood pressure is measured as systolic over diastolic
pressure, in mm Hg
– 110/70 is typical for a healthy young adult
• Higher than normal blood pressure may indicate serious
cardiovascular disorder
– Hypertension is persistent blood pressure higher than
140/90

23.11 Smooth muscle controls the distribution of
blood
• Except for the brain, liver, kidneys, and heart,
blood supply varies depending on tissue need
• Constriction of arterioles can reduce blood flow
to capillaries
• Contraction and relaxation of precapillary
sphincters controls blood flow through capillary
beds
• Nerves and hormones influence the contraction
of smooth muscles in both mechanisms

23.12 Capillaries allow the transfer of substances
through their walls
• Capillaries are the only vessels with walls thin
enough to allow transfer of substances through
the epithelium
• The transfer of materials between the blood
and interstitial fluid occurs in several ways
– Diffusion
– Endocytosis and exocytosis
– Pressure-driven flow through clefts
between epithelial cells
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Forces driving fluid out of and into capillaries
– Blood pressure forces fluid out of the capillary
at the arterial end
– Osmotic pressure draws fluid in at the venous
end

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF BLOOD
23.13 Blood consists of red and white blood cells
suspended in plasma
• Blood is about 55% plasma and 45% cellular
elements
– Plasma
• 90% water
• 10% dissolved inorganic ions, proteins,
nutrients, wastes, gases, and
hormones
– Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
• Transport O2 bound to hemoglobin
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
– White blood cells (leukocytes)
• Function both inside and outside the
circulatory system to fight infections
and cancer
– Platelets
• Cell fragments involved in clotting

23.14 Too few or too many red blood cells can be
unhealthy
• Red blood cells
– Circulate for 3 to 4 months
– Old cells are broken down and their
components are recycled
• Anemia
– An abnormally low amount of hemoglobin
or red blood cells
– Most commonly caused by iron deficiency
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Red blood cell production
– Takes place in bone marrow
– Under control of a negative feedback
system
– Mediated by the hormone erythropoietin
• Increased red blood cell production is a
physiological adaptation to living at high
altitudes
– Athletes may try dangerous artificial
methods

23.15 Blood clots plug leaks when blood vessels
are injured
• Blood clotting involves platelets, the plasma
protein fibrinogen, and clotting factors
• The clotting process
1. Platelets adhere to exposed connective
tissue
2. Platelet plug forms
3. Fibrinogen converted to fibrin, forms clot
that traps blood cells
