    Lesson 4 - Circulatory System

    The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood. The main function is to transport blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste. Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart. The heart has four chambers that pump blood to and from the lungs and throughout the body. Diseases like coronary artery disease and heart attacks can occur if arteries become blocked.

    Circulatory System

    Lets begin by listening to


    some music

    The Circulatory System


    The circulatory system in humans is made up of:
    1. The heart
    2. Blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
    3. Blood
    The main function of the circulatory system is to
    transport materials through the body.
    It also regulates body temperature and transports
    disease-fighting white blood cells to areas of the body
    to fight viruses or bacteria

    Blood is made up of
    red blood cells,
    white blood cells,
    platelets, and
    plasma.

    Red Blood Cells carry oxygen in


    the blood as well as nutrients
    and other materials to and from
    tissues. Red blood cells contain
    protein called haemoglobin
    White Blood Cells defend the
    body against bacteria, disease
    causing organisms, and other
    invaders.
    Platelets play an important role
    in the formation of blood clots.
    Plasma is the liquid portion of
    the blood and helps carry the
    blood cells along.

    Overview of the Circulatory System

    Veins bring blood


    towards the heart
    Blue = veins
    Red = arteries
    Arteries take
    blood away from
    the heart

    Blood Vessels

    Arteries are thick


    walled tubes that
    usually transport
    oxygenated blood to
    the body tissues
    from the heart.
    (AWAY FROM the
    heart)

    Veins are thinner


    walled tubes that
    usually transport
    deoxygenated
    blood from the
    body tissues to the
    heart. (TOWARDS
    the heart)

    Capillaries are the site of exchange between the blood


    and body cells. They exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide,
    nutrients, wastes, and other materials. (small thin walled
    blood vessels that allow substances to pass in and
    out of the circulatory system)

    The Human Heart

    The heart contains four


    chambers that pump
    blood to the lungs and
    to all body parts.

    The heart acts as a double pump


    with the right side receiving
    deoxygenated blood from the
    different parts of the body.
    The blood is then pumped to the
    lungs where oxygen diffuses into
    the blood and it becomes
    oxygenated.
    The oxygenated blood then returns
    to the left side of the heart where it
    is pumped to all body parts. Your
    heart beats approximately 60 to 80
    times per minute when you are at
    rest.

    Your heart beats approximately 60


    to 80 times per minute when you
    are at rest.

    After passing through the capillaries of the lungs, the


    blood which is now oxygenated returns to the heart in
    the pulmonary veins.

    From lungs

    The left atrium receives blood from the pulmonary vein.

    Blood passes through the mitral valve into the left


    ventricle.

    Contraction of the left ventricle pushes blood through the aortic


    semilunar valve into the aorta. Blood travels to all regions of the
    body where it feeds cells with oxygen picked up from the lungs
    and nutrients from the digestive tract.
    To rest of body

    Deoxygenated blood returns from the rest of the body


    through the superior and inferior vena cava.

    The right atrium receives the deoxygenated blood.

    Blood then enters the right ventricle through the


    tricuspid valve.

    Contraction of the right ventricle pushes blood through


    the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary
    arteries in which it travels to the lungs.
    To lungs

    Diseases and Disorders


    Coronary Artery
    Disease - when
    coronary arteries
    become partially
    blocked with plaque
    (a build up of fat,
    cholesterol, and
    calcium)

    Symptoms include: tiredness, dizziness, pain or burning sensation in


    chest or arms.
    Diagnosed with: angiogram (special dyes injected into blood vessels
    makes them visible to X-rays)

    Angiogram showing coronary artery disease

    Heart Attack - coronary arteries


    become completely blocked (from
    plaque or a blood clot)

    Symptoms include:
    chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, anxiety, upper body pain, stomach
    pain, sweating, dizziness, unusual fatigue
    Diagnosed with: blood test or electrocardiogram (ECG)

    Lifestyle and Heart Disease


    To reduce the risk of heart
    disease:
    - Dont smoke
    - Maintain a healthy diet
    - Exercise, be physically
    active
    - Reduce stress
