How do the
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
and RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM work together to
maintain HOMEOSTASIS?
Homeostasis

• tendency of organisms to auto-


regulate and maintain their
internal environment in a stable
state.
• The stable condition is the
condition of optimal functioning
for the organism
What is the major organ of the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM?
Blood Vessels

Parts of the Respiratory System
What is the major organ of the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM?
The Cardiac Cycle
The chambers of the heart alternately contract and relax
in a rhythmic cycle.

• During the period of contraction (systole), the


heart pumps blood out through the arteries;
during the period of relaxation (diastole), the
heart fills with blood.
• One complete sequence of filling and
pumping blood is called a cardiac cycle, or
heartbeat.
Electrical Activity of the Heart
• The heart's rhythm of contraction is controlled
by the sinoatrial node (SA node), often called
the pacemaker. This node is part of the
heart's intrinsic conduction system, which is
made up of specialized myocardial cells called
nodal cells.
• The heart will beat without input from the
nervous system
• continue to beat, even outside the body, as
long as its cells are alive
• Automaticity is due to the spontaneous
electrical activity of the SA node. Electrical
impulses generated from the SA node spread
through the heart via a nodal tissue pathway
that coordinates the events of the cardiac
cycle.
Blood Vessel Structure and Function
Blood vessels form a tubular network throughout the body that allows blood to flow from the heart to every body cell and then back to the heart.

•The three types of blood


vessels are arteries,
capillaries, and veins.
•Each blood vessel
consists of a layered wall
surrounding a central
blood-containing space,
or lumen.
Structure and Function of Arteries, Capillaries, and Veins
The vessels of the pulmonary
and systemic circuits carry blood
to the tissues of the entire body.

•In the pulmonary circuit, blood takes


up oxygen in the lungs.
•In the systemic circuit, oxygenated
blood is distributed to body tissues.
Capillary Function
Capillaries make possible the exchange of molecules
between blood and interstitial fluid. Sphincters open
and close to regulate the flow of blood through
capillary beds.
The crucial exchange of
substances required for
cellular metabolism takes
place through the capillary
endothelium, which allows
cells of the various tissues to
take up oxygen and
nutrients and to expel
carbon dioxide and wastes.
Blood Pressure
Heart contractions generate blood pressure, the fluid
pressure that blood exerts against vessel walls.
•Blood pressure is
expressed in mm Hg.

•Normal blood pressure in


adults is 120 mm Hg/80
mm Hg (systolic/diastolic),
when measured at the
brachial artery in the arm,
the standard point of
reference.

•Blood pressure is highest
