Circulatory System Biology 138
Circulatory System Overview • Parts • Blood Vessels • Blood • Heart • Functions • carry O2, waste, nutrients, hormones • transfers body heat • defense
Blood • Plasma (55%) • 90% H2O • 7% Protein (albumin, antibodies, enzymes, etc. • 3% food, waste, buffers, vitamins, salts, hormones, etc. • Solid (45%) • Erythrocytes • Leukocytes • Platelets
Erythrocytes • Functions • O2 • made in marrow • live 120 days • hemoglobin
Spleen • Functions • Removes old RBC’s (so does liver) • stores extra RBC’s
Leukocytes • large • less numerous • nucleated • made in marrow • 5 types
Types • Basophil • Neutrophil • most numerous • Eosinophil • Monocytes • Lymphocytes • B Cells • T Cells
Platelets • Cell fragments • From Bone Marrow • Clot Blood • Contain blood clotting factors (12) • Short-lived
Blood Types • A, B, AB, O • Rh factor • Erythroblastosis fetalis • Infant responds to attack on RBC’s by increasing RBC production, and sending out immature RBC’s, which you can see with their nuclei in the picture to the left
Blood Vessels • Arteries • Arterioles • Capillaries • Venules • Veins
Blood Pathways Through The Body • Pulmonary • to lungs • Systemic • to body
Lymphatic System • collects excess tissue fluid • similar to plasma, but no protein • vein like • no pump – skeletal muscle • drains into veins • lymph nodes filter fluid
