CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

The document provides an overview of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, detailing the heart's structure, function, and the types of blood vessels. It explains the importance of blood circulation, blood pressure, and factors affecting heart rate. Additionally, it highlights the role of the lymphatic system in draining body fluids and protecting against foreign materials.

ANAPHY AND BIOLOGY - its pumps blood into the tissues of the body

Made by: Princess Ann R. Sebello under involuntary control.


- inflammation of myocardium called myocarditis
– it reduces the hearts ability to pump
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
(radiosis)
- is the main function for transportation for both
oxygenated and unoxygenated.
- It carries oxygen, nutrients, cell waste,  Endocardium
hormones, and other substances vital for body - inner most layer of the heart that contains
homeostasis to end from the cell. blood vessels and transmit electrical impulses
- the size of the person fist is the size of your that keeps the heart beating
their heart. - inflammation of the indocardium called
endocarditis.
Heart

- assumes 75 constractions per minute,


equivalent to 108 thousands per day.  4 Chambers of the Heart
- it inject 70 mil per constraction on a resting
1. Right Atrium - receives
period equivalent to 5.25 liters per minute.
the oxygenated blood from
- the heart is located medially within tyhe
the body and returns to the
thoracic cavity between the lungs knows as
hearts via right ventricle.
mediastinum
- the inferior tip of the heart called apex, it can
be found to the left sternum.
2. Right Ventricle - pumps
the oxygenated blood to
the lungs.
 5 structure found in mediastinum

1. Heart
3. Left atrium - received oxygen rich blood from the
2. Esophagus
lungs and pumps to the left ventricle (circulation)
3. Thoracic nerve

4. Systemic blood vessels


4. Left ventricle - pumps oxygen rich blood to the
5. Trachea different parts of the body.

 Walls of the heart/ Membranes of the heart

 Pericardium
- Is the sac that
enclose the heart
- inflammation of the
pericardium called
pericarditis.

 Myocardium
- muscular layer of
the heart called
cardiac muscle.
 Different types of Blood Vessel BLOOD PRESURE

1. Arteries- carries blood * Is the off and on flow of blood into arteries as the
from the ventricles away heart alternately contracts & relaxes causes the BP to
from the heart. rise and fall during each beat.

2. Veins - returns blood to * measured by the millimeters of mercury (mmHg)

organs.
 Systolic Pressure
- is the pressure in the arteries at the peak of
3. Capillaries – tiny ventricular contractions (first sounds)
vessels that connects arteries & veins
 Diastolic Pressure
- The pressure when the ventricles are relaxing.

 Different Valves of the Heart


 110/80 - border line/ normal blood pressure.
1. Mitral valve - located in
between Left atrium and
left ventricle  Agina pectoris
- is the situation/disease when myocardium
2. Tricuspid valve - located
received less oxygenated blood, continuous
between the right atrium
occurance of Agina Pectoric nay result to
and right ventricle
myocsrdial infraction (serious heart disease
3. Pulmonary valve - result heart attack.
located between right
ventricle and pulmonary
artery  Factors Affect Heart Rate

1. Physical activity

2. Temperature

 2 Types of the Blood Circulation 3. Thyroid hormones – tyrosine

1. Pulmonary Circulation – once the superior vena cava Hyperthyroidism - increase amount of tyroxine that
the unoxygenated blood enters the right atrium once increase heart rate. (high section of tyroxine)
it’s filled up the bulb open pushing the blood to the
Hypothyroidism - less secretion of hormones low heart
right ventricle & gooes down to pulmonary tract for
rate. (low section of tyroxine)
oxygenation.
Nicotine & Caffeine – also increases heart rate.
2. Systemic Circulation - ones the blood is oxygenated it
enters to the left atrium & pushes the oxygenated blood
left ventricle & pushed to the Aorta to be distributed to
the different parts of the body.  Heart beat is the number of times the heart beats
per minutes.
 Pulse rate is the number of times the arteries
expand and contract with each heart beat
(expansion and contraction)

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

- Drains the body fluids & return them to the


blood stream.
- drain/filter i
- when there is the blockage in the lymphatic
system edema occurs (swelling)

 Function of Lymphatic System

- Helps protects the body by removing foreign


materials such as bacteria and tumor cell
