CIRCULATORY SYSTEM -Blood, heart, blood vessels
I. BLOOD A. Functions 1. carries food, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones & enzyme 2. transports wastes 3. clots blood 4. helps fight infection 5. distributes heat
B. Composition 1. plasma – liquid part of blood
Solid Parts 2. R.B.C. – carries oxygen & carbon dioxide Anemia – caused by lack of r.b.c. or iron
- Universal DONOR – type O (can donate to anyone) – no antigens - Universal recipient – type AB (can receive from anyone) – no antibodies
Rh factor: + or - Rh + : has + antigen Rh - : has + antibody
II. Heart A. Chambers/valves 1. right atrium (receives blood from body) Right AV (or tricuspid) valve closes to sound “lub”
2. right ventricle – pumps blood through to pulmonary (semilunar) valve closes to sound “dupp” to lungs (give off carbon dioxide & takes in oxygen
3. Left Atrium – receives oxygenated blood from lungs left AV (or bicuspid) valve closes to sound “lub” (at same as right AV valve)
4. Left ventricle – strongest chamber: pumps out blood through aortic valve (closes to sound “dupp”) aorta rest of the body
B. Terms 1. Heart attack – clot in heart (usually in coronary arteries 2. blood pressure – pressure in artery walls; ex. 120/80 – pressure when contraction/ relaxation of ventricles 3. heart murmur – faulty valve (often) 4. CPR – cardio (heart); pulmonary (lung) recessitation
III. BLOOD VESSELS A. Arteries – carry blood AWAY from the heart; most carry oxygen & are bright red; thicker & stronger B. Arterioles – small arteries
C. Capillaries – connect arterioles to venules; microscopic; exchange of gases & nutrient takes place here between blood & cells
D. Venules – small veins E. Veins – carry blood to heart; most carry carbon dioxide & are deep purple; less elastic; some have valves; - varicose veins/hemorrhoids – flabby veins
F. Other Terms 1. stroke – blood clot in vessel in brain 2. high blood pressure – pressure too high in arteries which can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, blindness
