The Cardiovascular System Michael Hall PhD. University of California Los Angeles [email protected] The Cardiovascular System pulmonary artery pulmonary vein vena cava Epithelium and Endothelium Types of Epithelium Endothelium is a specialized simple squamous epithelium Endothelium lines all blood vessels Endothelium Smooth muscle The role of endothelial cells in diapedesis The Heart SVC Head and arms Aorta R. lung L. lung LA RA LV Septum RV IVC Trunk and legs Epicardium The Heart Wall Epicardium Myocardium Myocardium Endocardium Endocardium Pericardium Atrium Inside Heart valves Heart valve Valve E F Valve chordae tendinae E Heart valves and supporting fibrous skeleton Valves Fibrous skeleton Cardiac muscle (myocardium) Conducting System Conducting system of the heart Endocardium Purkinje cells make up the Purkinje fibers, which constitute part of the conducting system of the heart Cardiac muscle fibers Conducting system of the heart Bundle of His Cardiac Muscle Organization of Cardiac Muscle Intercalated Intercalated diskdisc myofibrils endomysium myofiber Structure of a Cardiac Muscle Sarcomere Electron Micrograph Diagram Z-disk Cardiac Muscle cardiac muscle ID CT N Branching fibers Cardiac Muscle Z-disk Fiber 1 Fiber 2 Fiber 3 Fiber 4 Structure of intercalated disc of cardiac muscle Smooth Muscle Smooth Muscle Cell Smooth Muscle Sheet Smooth Muscle Small Artery with Smooth Muscle in tunica media Endothelium Smooth Muscle Contraction The distributing portion of the cardiovascular system The arteries and veins General Structure of Artery and Vein T.
