CH 6 Heart and Lungs

The cardiovascular system transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste throughout the body. The heart has four chambers - the right atrium and ventricle receive deoxygenated blood and pump it to the lungs, while the left atrium and ventricle receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it to the body. Heart valves prevent backflow of blood between chambers. The cardiovascular system includes arteries, which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, and veins, which carry deoxygenated blood toward the heart via capillaries where gas exchange occurs.

The Heart and Lungs at Work

Sport Books Publisher 1


The Primary Roles of the Cardiovascular System

1. to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues

2. to transport carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs

3. to transport nutrients from the digestive system to other


areas in the body

4. to transport waste products from sites of production to


sites of excretion.

Structure Of Heart

Consists of four chambers:


The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it
to the right ventricle.
The right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to
the left ventricle.
The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the body

Heart Valves
1. Tricuspid Valve: prevents
backward flow of blood
from right ventricle to right
atrium

2. Bicuspid(Miral Valve):
Prevents backward flow of blood
from right ventricle to right atrium

3. Aortic Valve: Prevents return


of blood back to left ventricle
from aorta.

4. Pulmonary Valve: Does not


allow blood to come back to
right ventricle

Heart Walls

Pericardium: Outer layer of the heart. Keeps


outer surface moist and prevents friction.
Myocardium: Middle layer of the heart. Main
muscle of the heart
Endocardium: Inner layer of heart. Provides
smooth lining for the blood to flow.

Blood Vessels

Arteries(Thick Wall): Carry oxygenated


blood away from the heart
Veins(Thin Wall): Carry deoxygenated
blood towards the heart.
Capillaries: are the smallest of a
body's blood vessel and they help to enable
the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, and many other nutrients and waste
substances between the blood and the tissues
surrounding them.
