  2. How much do you know? 3. The adult's heart pumps about 15,140 litres of blood in what amount of time? • One day • One hour • One week

  3. How much do you know? • 4. How long (on average) does it take for blood to circulate around the WHOLE body? • 23 seconds • 23 minutes • 23 hours

  4. How much do you know? clear 7. Human blood on its own is in colour. Haemoglobin, a pigment in the red blood cells, is responsible for the red colouring of the blood. 5-6 litres 8. The average adult body contains of blood and an has about 1 litre. infant

  5. The Circulatory System

  6. The Circulatory System • The function of a circulatory system is to carry blood or hemolymph into close contact with every cell in the body. • The most sophisticated circulatory systems consist of: • one or more pumps called hearts • arteries (tough, thick-walled tubes) that carry blood away from the heart under high pressure; • small vessels called capillaries whose walls are just one cell thick, allows the exchange of gases and other molecules with tissues in networks called capillary beds; and • vessels called veins that return blood to the heart under low pressure

  7. Functions of the Circulatory System • Transport oxygen to cells • Transport nutrients from the digestive system to body cells • Transport hormones to body cells • Transport waste from body cells to excretory organs • Distribute body heat

  8. How Are Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Transported in Blood? • Blood: connective tissue that consists of cells in a watery extracellular matrix called plasma • Remainder of the blood is made up of formed elements: platelets, red blood cells, and several types of white blood cells: • Platelets : Cell fragments that minimize blood loss from ruptured blood vessels by releasing material that assists in the formation of clots • White blood cells: which are part of the immune system fight infections

  9. RBCs • Red blood cells (RBCs): • transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body • critical role in transporting carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs • In humans, red blood cells make up 99.9% of the formed elements. • contain an oxygen-carrying molecule called hemoglobin

  10. Circulation Pulmonary Circuit Systemic Circuit

  11. How Does the Heart Work? • In animals with closed circulatory systems, the heart contains at least two chambers. • the atrium receives blood returning from circulation • the ventricle generates force to propel the blood through the system. • Atria are separated from ventricles by atrioventricular valves. • The number of distinct heart chambers has increased as vertebrates diversified.

  12. How Does the Heart Work? • Vertebrates evolved two separate pumping circuits: • The pulmonarycirculation is a lower-pressure circuit to the lungs. • The systemiccirculation is a higher-pressure circuit to the rest of the body.

  14. Lungs Body cells Our circulatory system is a double circulatory system. This means it has two parts parts. the right side of the system deals with deoxygenated blood. the left side of the system deals with oxygenated blood.

  15. Components of the Human Circulatory System The Heart Blood Vessels Blood Lymphatic Vessels Lymph

  16. The Heart This is a vein. It brings blood from the body, except the lungs. These are arteries. They carry blood away from the heart. 2 atria Coronary arteries, the hearts own blood supply 2 ventricles The heart has four chambers now lets look inside the heart

  17. The Path of Blood The heart pumps blood to the lungs The blood gets oxygen in the lungs The blood returns to the heart The heart pumps the oxygenated blood to the cells in the body The blood delivers oxygen to the body cells The deoxygenated blood travels back to the heart

  18. The Heart Artery to Lungs Artery to Head and Body Vein from Head and Body Vein from Lungs Right Atrium Left Atrium valve valve Left Ventricle Right Ventricle

  19. blood from the lungs blood from the body The heart beat begins when the heart muscles relax and blood flows into the atria. How does the Heart work? STEP ONE

  20. The atria then contract and the valves open to allow blood into the ventricles. How does the Heart work? STEP TWO

  21. The valves close to stop blood • flowing backwards. • The ventricles contract forcing • the blood to leave the heart. • At the same time, the atria are • relaxing and once again filling with blood. How does the Heart work? STEP THREE The cycle then repeats itself.

  22. Structure of the heart

  23. You need to be able to label all parts of the heart

  24. Blood from ? Blood from lungs ? right atrium valve Left ventricle – has a thicker muscle wall than right side – why? Right ventricle RIGHT SIDE LEFT SIDE

  25. Body organs

  26. Blood to the ? Blood to the ? Blood from ? Blood from lungs Left atrium right atrium valve Left ventricle Right ventricle RIGHT SIDE LEFT SIDE

  27. Beating heart – blood flow The valves prevent the backflow of blood.

  28. How do the valves work? How many can you see?

  29. out in in Can you see the 4 valves? Atrium and ventricle muscles force the blood through and out of the heart

  30. blood from the heart gets around the body through blood vessels There are 3 types of blood vessels a. ARTERY b.VEIN c.CAPILLARY

  31. The ARTERY Arteries carry blood away from the heart. the elastic fibres allow the artery to stretchunder pressure thick muscle and elastic fibres the thick muscle can contract to push the blood along.

  32. The VEIN Veins carry blood towards the heart. veins have valves which act to stop the blood from going in the wrong direction. body muscles surround the veins so that when they contract to move the body, they also squeeze the veins and push the blood along the vessel. thin muscle and elastic fibres

  33. The CAPILLARY Capillaries link Arteries with Veins they exchange materials between the blood and other body cells. The exchange of materials between the blood and the body can only occur through capillaries. the wall of a capillary is only one cell thick

  34. The CAPILLARY A collection of capillaries is known as a capillary bed. artery vein capillaries body cell

  35. what’s in digested food red blood cells white blood cells BLOOD oxygen waste (urea) platelets carbon dioxide hormones plasma

  36. The Blood white blood cell red blood cell plasma platelets

  37. Red Blood Cells contain haemoglobin, a molecule specially designed to hold oxygen and carry it to cells that need it. a biconcave disc that is round and flat withoutanucleus can change shape to an amazing extent, without breaking, as it squeezes single file through the capillaries.

  38. White Blood Cells there are many different types and all contain a big nucleus. the two main ones are the lymphocytes and the macrophages. macrophages ‘eat’ and digest micro-organisms. some lymphocytes fight disease by making antibodies to destroy invaders by dissolving them. other lymphocytes make antitoxins to break down poisons.

  39. Platelets Platelets are bits of cell broken off larger cells. Platelets produce tiny fibrinogenfibres to form a net. This net traps other blood cells to form a blood clot.

  40. Plasma It also contains useful things like; • carbon dioxide • glucose • amino acids • proteins • minerals • vitamins • hormones • waste materials • like urea. A straw-coloured liquid that carries the cells and the platelets which help blood clot.

  41. Types of Blood Vessels • Capillaries: • smallest vessels • the site where gases, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged between the blood and other tissues • The smallest veins are venules; • carry blood back to the heart after it passes through the capillaries • veins have much thinner walls and much larger interior diameters than arteries

  42. Location of Heart

  43. Pericardial Cavity

  44. Layers of Cardiac Tissue

  45. Visceral pericardium • Outer protective layer composed of a serous membrane • Includes blood capillaries, lymph capillaries, and nerve fibers. • Myocardium • Relatively thick. • Consists largely of cardiac muscle tissue responsible for forcing blood out of the heart chambers. • Muscle fibers are arranged in planes, separated by connective tissues that are richly supplied with blood capillaries, and nerve fibers.

  46. Endocardium • Consists of epithelial and connective tissue that contains many elastic and collagenous fibers. • Connective tissue also contains blood vessels and some specialized cardiac muscle fibers called Purkinje fibers. • Lines all of the heart chambers and covers heart valves.

  47. The Human Heart • The human circulatory system returns oxygen-depleted blood from the body to the right atrium of the heart through two large veins • the inferior and superior venae cavae. • When the right atrium contracts: • deoxygenated blood is sent to the right ventricle • it contracts and sends blood out to the lungs via the pulmonary artery • One-way valves ensure that blood follows only this path. After blood has circulated through the capillary beds in the lung’s alveoli: • it becomes oxygenated • returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins

  48. The Human Heart • The oxygenated blood enters the left atrium: • it contracts and pushes the blood into the left ventricle • The contraction of the left ventricle sends oxygenated blood at high pressure out the aorta and into: • the arteries • capillaries • veins • forms the systemic circulation
