Do Now • What artia/ventricles of the heart have oxygenated blood? • Why do you think that oxygenated/non-oxygenated blood are separated?
Circuits • Travel in two loops (circuits) • Pulmonary Circuit: Heart Lungs Heart • Systemic Circuit: Heart Body Heart
Blood Vessels • Two types • Arteries (move away from heart) • Veins (move towards heart)
Three Layers of Blood Vessels • Tunica interna: innermost layer. • Prevents blood from clotting • Tunica media: middle layer. • Muscles, move blood • Tunica externa: Outermost layer. • Connective tissue • Connects blood vessel to surrounding tissue.
Size of vessels • At first, there are only a few arteries leaving the heart (they are large) • They start to branch off into smaller arterioles • Arterioles then branch to smaller capillaries Arteries arterioles capillaries Highway boulevard street
Size of vessels • Same with veins… • Capillaries Veinule Veins
Capillaries?? • This is where arterioles and veinules meet – the SITE OF GAS EXCHANGE in the blood! • Thin walls • Diffusion is force responsible for these exchanges
Travel Essay – QUIZ GRADE • Start as a blood cell. • Start in the heart as low-oxygen blood • and explain your trip around the body (you may choose where you travel to) and back to the heart • You MUST mention… • The four chambers of the heart • The major veins and arteries • Smaller blood vessels you go through • What is exchanged and where
