  6. The Cardiovascular System • Consists of the heart and a closed network of blood vessels composed of arteries, capillaries, and veins • Function • Heart pumps blood containing oxygen and nutrients to body tissues, exchanges materials, and carries CO2 and waste back

  7. The Cardiovascular System • Organs • Heart • Muscular cone-shaped organ the size of a fist, located behind the sternum and between the lungs. • Pumping action circulates blood throughout the body • R atrium  R ventricle  Lungs  L atrium  L ventricle  Body • Atrial and Ventricular septums separate chambers • Atrioventricular Valves – tricuspid(R) and mitral(L) Valves keep blood flowing • Semilunar Valves – pulmonary and aortic valves

  8. The Cardiovascular System • Pericardium • two-layer sac surrounding the heart, consisting of an external fibrous layer and internal serous layer. • Three layers of the Heart • epicardium – covers the heart • myocardium– middle, thick, muscular layer • endocardium – inner lining of the heart

  9. The Cardiovascular System • Blood vessels • Tubelike structures that carry blood throughout the body • arteries – carry blood away from the heart; most carry oxygen (except pulmonary artery) • arterioles – smallest arteries • aorta – largest artery in body, originating at the left ventricle • veins –carry blood back to the heart; most carry CO2 (except pulmonary vein) • venules – smallest veins

  10. The Cardiovascular System • venae cavae– largest veins in the body. Inferior vena cava carries blood from lower part of body, Superior vena cava brings blood from upper part • capillaries– microscopic blood vessels that connect arterioles with venules; exchange takes place here

  11. Blood • Function • Maintain internal balance in the body, including transportation of nutrients, waste, oxygen, CO2, and hormones; protection; and regulation by controlling body temperature and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance

  12. Blood • Composition of Blood • Blood • composed of plasma and formed elements, such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes (platelets) • plasma – clear, straw-colored, liquid portion of blood in which cells are suspended (90% water, and ~55% of blood volume) • Cells (formed elements) • erythrocytes – rbc’s that carry oxygen. Develop in bone marrow • leukocytes – wbc’s that combat infection and respond to inflammation. 5 types of wbc’s

  13. Blood • platelets (thrombocytes) – one of the formed elements in theblood that is responsible for aiding in the clotting process • serum – clear, watery fluid portion of the blood that remains after a clot has formed

  14. The Lymphatic System • Consists of lymph transported through lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, and thymus gland • Function • Return excessive tissue fluid to the blood, absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the sm. intestine and transport them to the blood, and provide defense against infection

  15. The Lymphatic System • Structures • Lymph • Transparent, colorless, tissue fluid. Contains lymphocytes and monocytes and flows in a one-way direction to the heart. (similar to blood plasma) • Lymphatic Vessels • similar to veins, they transport lymph from body tissues to the chest, where it enters the cardiovascular system. • Vessels start as capillaries and eventually become ducts in the chest. One-way flow and enters through veins into the circulatory system

  16. The Lymphatic System • Lymph Nodes • small, spherical bodies composed of lymphoid tissue. May be singular or grouped along the path of the lymph vessels • filter lymph to keep substances such as bacteria and other foreign agents from entering the blood • Spleen • located on left side between the stomach and the diaphragm. Largest lymphatic organ in adults • Blood flows through the spleen (not lymph), and is cleansed of microorganisms. It stores blood and destroys worn out red blood cells

  17. The Lymphatic System • Thymus Gland • one of the primary lymphatic organs, located anterior to the ascending aorta and posterior to the sternum between the lungs • important in the development of the body’s immune system, from infancy to puberty.

  18. The Immune System • Function • Protects the body against pathogens , foreign agents that cause allergic reactions or toxins, and abnormal body cells. Three lines of defense:
