Topic: Circulatory System Aim: Explain the function and structure of the circulatory system. Do Now: In 3 sentences, describe the difference in function between the three types of blood vessels. HW: Complete Blood Vessels and Circulation Part B (#’s 1-4)
Identify the blood vessel being described (A, V or C). • Largest and most muscular blood vessels. • The smallest blood vessels. • Capillaries carry blood to these blood vessels. • Blood vessel used to feel your pulse. • Carry blood to other organs. • Where the exchange of substances between the blood and cells occurs. • Most of these carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. • Contain valves to prevent the backflow of blood. • Carry blood under high pressure. • Red blood cells travel move in single file.
Function (Cardiovascular System) • TRANSPORT: carries substances throughout the body
O2 and nutrients (to cells) • Wastes (away from cells) • Hormones, enzymes, blood cells, etc…
Heart Facts • Hold out your hand and make a fist. If you're a kid, your heart is about the same size as your fist, and if you're an adult, it's about the same size as two fists. • Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times. • Give a tennis ball a good, hard squeeze. You're using about the same amount of force your heart uses to pump blood out to the body. Even at rest, the muscles of the heart work hard--twice as hard as the leg muscles of a person sprinting.
Heart • Cardiac muscle • Pumps blood
R L
Atria: • Upper chambers • Receive blood • R and L
2. Ventricles: • Lower chambers • Pump blood out of heart • R & L
4. Valves = flaps of tissue bw atria and ventricles • Prevent backflow of blood
Dub Lub If you listen to your heartbeat, it makes a lub dub sound. What you hear is the sound of the valves closing as they pump 4,300 gallons of oxygen rich blood a day.
Left atrium Valves Left Ventricle Right Atrium Right Ventricle Valves
Right side:deoxygenated blood • To the LUNGS • Left side: oxygenated blood • From LUNGS • To all body parts
RIGHT (deoxygenated) LEFT (oxygenated)
Topic: Review Aim: Let’s review circulation and the digestive system Do Now: Describe the path of blood through the body starting at the right atrium. HW: Science Fair Data and Conclusion due Monday!!!
Let’s summarize… • Explain the function of the circulatory system. • Describe the four chambers of the heart. • Explain the importance of heart valves. • Why is the septum so important? • Where is deoxygenated blood pumped to? • Where is oxygenated blood pumped to?
Right atrium (DB) • Right ventricle (DB) • Pulmonary arteries (DB) • Lungs (OB) • Pulmonary Veins (OB) • Left atrium (OB) • Left ventricle (OB) • Aorta (OB) • Rest of the body • Vena Cava (DB) • Right atrium (DB)

Review: Identify the part of the heart being described. • Chamber that receives oxygenated blood. • Wall that separates the right and left side of the heart. • Chamber that pumps out deoxygenated blood. • Chamber that receives deoxygenated blood. • Prevents the backflow of blood between atria and ventricles. • Chamber that pulps out oxygenated blood.
Autopsy specimen of aorta has been opened lengthwise to reveal luminal surface studded with lesions of atherosclerosis.
Heart attack • Caused by BLOCKAGE of coronary artery • O2 does not get to heart muscle
