Circulatory System • Function – Transport oxygen and remove waste from tissues
Blood Vessels • Arteries – carry blood from heart to tissues, carry oxygen rich blood
Blood Vessels • Veins – bring blood back to the heart, many contain valves to ensure flow in one direction
Blood Vessels • Capillaries – smallest blood vessels
Capillaries • Exchange of oxygen, CO2 and nutrients
Heart • Pump blood through the body, contracts 72 times/minute
Heart • Atria – receive oxygen poor blood from body and oxygen rich blood from the lungs
Heart • Ventricles – pumps blood to the lungs and to the body
Valves of the Heart • Tricuspid valve – between right atrium and right ventricle
Valves of the Heart • Mitral valve – between left atrium and left ventricle
Blood Flow through the Heart • Pulmonary Circulation – blood that goes and returns to the lungs
Blood Flow through the Heart • Systemic Circulation – blood that goes to the body systems
Control of Heart Beat • SA node (pacemaker) – makes muscle fibers of the atria contract
Control of Heart Beat • AV node – produces an impulse for the ventricles to contract
Composition of Blood • Plasma – 90% water, 10% gases, salts, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, waste products, proteins, cholesterol, and other compounds
Composition of Blood • Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) – transport oxygen, contain hemoglobin (iron rich protein that gives color to blood
Composition of Blood • RBC’s - produced in bone marrow, do not have nucleus, live about 120 days
Composition of Blood • RBC’s – destroyed in the liver and spleen
Composition of Blood • White Blood Cells – guard against infections, attack bacteria
White Blood Cells • Have a nucleus and can live for years
Composition of Blood • Platelets – cell fragments made in bone marrow
Platelets Stop bleeding together with clotting factors
Normal Blood Pressure Ranges • This is a general view of the average blood pressure reading for the age range in question. • Age 15-19 - 117/77 mm/Hg • Age 20-24 - 120/79 mm/Hg • Age 25-29 - 121/80 mm/Hg • Age 30-34 - 122/81 mm/Hg • Age 35-39 - 123/82 mm/Hg • Age 40-44 - 125/83 mm/Hg • Age 45-49 - 127/84 mm/Hg • Age 50-54 - 129/85 mm/Hg • Age 55-59 - 131/86 mm/Hg • Age 60-64 - 134/87 mm/Hg
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Family History • Overweight
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Not being physically active • Using Tobacco
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Too much salt • Too little potassium
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Too little Vit. D • Too much alcohol
Risk Factors of Hypertension • Stress • Certain chronic conditions
Respiratory System • Pick up oxygen from lungs and release CO2
Structure • Nose – filter, moistens and warms air
Structures • Pharynx – cavity at the back of the mouth that is the passage of air and food
Structures • Trachea – brings oxygen to the lungs
Structures • Larynx – contain the vocal cords
Lungs • Surrounded by the pleura membrane
Lungs • Bronchi – two large tubes that enter the lungs
Lungs • Bronchioles – branches of the bronchi
Lungs • Alveoli – tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles; gas exchange takes place here
Smoking • Damages structures of respiratory system
Diseases caused by Smoking • Bronchitis – bronchi are inflames and blocked by mucous
Diseases caused by Smoking • Emphysema – loss of elasticity and eventual break down of lung tissue; no cure
