Explore the intricate world of the cardiovascular system! Discover the heart's anatomy, blood circulation, blood pressure, components, and clotting process. Dive into the functions of red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Learn about different blood types, donors, and recipients. Witness the mesmerizing journey of blood through the heart and body, from oxygenation to nutrient delivery. You'll be amazed by the wonders of this vital system that keeps you alive and healthy. Let's unravel the secrets of the cardiovascular system together!

If we looked at all the blood vessels in your body, what would the total length be? Around the world twice! How many times will your heart beat in a lifetime? 3 billion!! Fun Facts!!!
4 8 To lungs to get O2 4 1 5 5 6 2 7 1 3 8
1. Function of CV system Provides nutrients and oxygen through blood Carries away waste (CO2) Helps fight disease
Cardiovascular & Circulatory System • Three Parts: • Heart • Blood Vessels • Blood
Structures - Heart • Shape- Strawberry • Size-Fist • Weight- 1 pound • Location- Center of the chest
Heart - Structures • 1. Septum– Divides the Heart into Right and Left • 2. Chambers • Atrium – Top (smaller) • Ventricle- Bottom (bigger) • 3 Valves- keep blood flowing in one direction
RT Side- Without 0xygen LT Side- With Oxygen
Blood Vessels • 1. Arteries (RED) -Carries Blood Away from the Heart • 2. Veins (BLUE)- Carry Blood Back to the Heart • 3. Capillaries -Where exchange of nutrients takes place (O2, Waste, Etc…)
Blood Vessels • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjNKbL_-cwA • Circulation- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgI80Ue-AMo&feature=related • Capillaries- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q530H1WxtOw
Blood Pressure Definition: The Force of the Blood against the Walls of the Arteries Systole: Top Number of Blood Pressure (ventricles contracting) Diastole: Bottom Number of Blood Pressure (ventricles filled w/ blood and relaxed) 120/80
Blood - Function • Carries food and oxygen to all cells • Rid the body of waste
Blood Components 1. Red Blood Cells 2. White Blood Cells 3. Platelets 4. Plasma
Red Blood Cells • Made in the Marrow of Bones • Carry Oxygen • Hemoglobin • The Protein that attracts O2 to the RBC • Prone to Defect/illnesses
White Blood Cells • 1.Made in the Marrow of Bones • 2. Defend the Body against Disease • 3. Called Leukocytes
Plasma • The Liquid part of Blood (55% of blood) • Mostly Water
Platelets • 1. Aid in the clotting of blood • 2. How does it do this? • Cut occurs. Platelets Activated • Platelets RUSH to the wound • Fibrin is released (Spider Web) • Web is formed over Wound • Trapped Cells Harden and form a Scab
Cut occurs…. Platelets Actived! PLATELETS- STEP 1
Platelets RUSH to the wound! PLATELETS – STEP 2
Fibrin is released (Spidey Web) PLATELETS- STEP 3
Web is formed over Wound. PLATELETS – STEP 4
-Trapped Cells Harden and form a Scab PLATELETS – STEP 5 SPIDEY SAVES THE DAY
Blood Types • A, B, AB, O • Donor-Person who gives blood • Recipient- Person who receives blood • Clumping-Occurs when the blood types do not mix
Blood Types A, B, AB, O Recipient D o n o r *O = Universal Donor *AB =Universal Recipient
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH0QTWzU-xI Lets see how the heart works
Circulation Pulmonary- blood with little oxygen is pumped from rt side of heart to lungsSystemic- blood rich with oxygen is from lt side of heart to cells of the bodymyocardium- special type of muscle that helps heart contract rhythmically
Superior Vena Cava Aorta Pulmonary Artery Pulmonary Vein RT Atrium LT Atrium Tricuspid Valve LT Ventricle Bicuspid Valve RT Ventricle Inferior Vena Cava Septum
4. Blood spills into right ventricle 3. Blood passes through Tricuspid Valve
7. Oxygen rich blood returns to your heart through pulmonary veins
10. Blood enters the left ventricle 9. Blood passes through Bicuspid Valve
11. Blood is pumped through the aorta and delivered to rest of body.
