Circulatory System
in Animals
Regents Biology
2006-2007
Feeding the Need
for Energy
 Supplies in

fuel (sugars)
 digestive system

oxygen
 respiratory system
 Waste out

CO2
 respiratory system
 Need to pick up & deliver
the supplies & wastes
around the body

circulatory system
Regents Biology
Circulatory system
 Made up of 3 parts

organ
 heart

tissues & cells
 blood
 red blood cells
 blood vessels
(vascular system)
 arteries
 veins
 capillaries
Regents Biology
Circulatory systems
 All animals have:
muscular pump = heart
 tubes = blood vessels
 circulatory fluid = “blood”

open

Circulation of Blood in Mammals
Circulation
 2 part system
to lungs

Circulation to lungs
lungs
 blood gets O2 from lungs
 brings O2-rich blood back
to heart

Circulation to body
heart
 pumps O2-rich blood to
body
 picks up nutrients from
digestive system
 brings CO2 & cell wastes
from body to heart
Regents Biology

Circulation
to body
Stops along the way…
 Lungs

pick up O2 / clean out CO2
 Small Intestines

pick up nutrients from
digested food
 Large Intestines

pick up water from
digested food
 Liver

clean out worn out
blood cells
Regents Biology
More stops along the way…
 Kidneys
filters out wastes
(urea)
 excess salts, sugars
& water

 Bone

picks up new red
blood cells
 Spleen

picks up new white
blood cells
Regents Biology
Mammalian Heart
 4-Chambered heart

atria (atrium)
 thin wall
 collection chamber
left
atrium
 receive blood

ventricles
 thick wall pump
right
 pump blood out atrium
Regents Biology
right
ventricle
left
ventricle
Heart valves
 4 valves in the heart


flaps of connective tissue
prevent backflow
SL
 AV valve



between atrium & ventricle
keeps blood from flowing back
into atrium when ventricle pumps
“lub”
AV
AV
 Semilunar valves



between ventricle & arteries
prevent backflow from
arteries into ventricles
“dub”
Regents Biology
Heart murmur
leaking valve causes
hissing sound
 blood squirts backward
through valve

Electrical signals
allows atria to empty
completely before
ventricles contract
stimulates ventricles
to contract from
bottom to top, driving
blood into arteries
 heart pumping controlled by electrical impulses
Biology
 Regents
signal
also transmitted to skin = EKG
Measurement of blood pressure
 High Blood Pressure (hypertension)
if top number (pumping) > 150
 if bottom number (filling) > 90

Arteries: Built for their job
 Arteries
blood flows away from heart
 thicker walls

 provide strength for high
pressure pumping of blood

elastic & stretchable
 maintains blood
pressure even
when heart relaxes
Regents Biology
Major arteries
aorta carotid = to head
to brain & left arm
to right arm
to body
pulmonary
artery
pulmonary
coronary
artery =

Regents Biology
Coronary arteries
bypass surgery
Regents Biology
Veins: Built for their job
 Veins
Blood flows
toward heart
blood returns back to heartOpen valve
 thinner-walled

 blood travels back to heart
at low speed & pressure
 blood flows because muscles
contract when we move
 squeeze blood through veins Closed valve

valves in large veins
 in larger veins one-way valves
allow blood to flow only toward heart
Regents Biology
Major Veins
superior
vena cava =
from
upper body
pulmonary
vein =
from lung
inferior
Regentsvena
Biology cava = from lower body
pulmonary
vein =
from lung
Capillary: Where all the action is
 Capillaries
very thin walls
 allows exchange of
materials across
capillary

 O2, CO2, H2O,
food, waste
 diffusion
Regents Biology
Blood & blood cells
 Blood is a tissue of fluid & cells

plasma
 fluid
 dissolved salts, sugars, proteins, and more

cells
 red blood cells (RBC)
 transport O2 in hemoglobin
 white blood cells (WBC)
 defense & immunity
 platelets
 blood clotting
Regents Biology
Blood Cell production
ribs, vertebrae,
breastbone & pelvis
 Stem cells
“parent” cells
in bone
marrow
 mature into
many different
types of cells

white blood cells

red blood
cells
Regents Biology
Red blood cells
 Small round cells
produced in bone marrow
 lose nucleus & mitochondria

 more space for hemoglobin
 iron-containing protein that transports O2

last 3-4 months (120 days)
 filtered out by liver
 ~3 million RBC destroyed
 5-6 million RBC in
each second
tiny drop of human
 replaced by 3 million more
blood
produced each second
 5 liters of blood in
Regents Biology

Hemoglobin
 Protein which carries O2
O2

Blood clotting

signals
Regents Biology
platelets
seal the hole
fibrin protein fibers
build clot
Cardiovascular disease
 Atherosclerosis & Arteriosclerosis

deposits inside arteries (plaques)
 develop in inner wall of the arteries,
narrowing their channel


increase blood pressure
increase risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage
normal artery
Regents Biology
hardening of arteries
Cardiovascular health
 Genetic effects
 Diet

diet rich in animal fat
increases risk of CV
disease
 Exercise & lifestyle

smoking & lack of
exercise increases risk
of CV disease
