Circulatory System Notes in class

Text work: Chapter 11: 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4. Pages 476 - 500 & chapter review
Disorders and diseases hemophilia malaria Main Processes vessels arteries and veins pump heart blood pressure blood transport of food, gasses, waste, hormones; defense (immune system); clotting Notes: HIV heart attack West Nile disease high blood pressure coronary varicose veins

Systems: unicellular and simple multicellular animals: these are small enough that they dont need a full system to deliver gasses and nutrients to all cells ex: sponge larger animals need a system because:

functions: delivers:

removes:

also: regulates heat and temperature open circulatory system note: the heart is a simple pump, there are some vessels, but basically the blood floats through muscles.

Why is this not as efficient?

page

closed circulatory system vessels keep the blood from tissues, capillaries take blood cells around tissues that need the blood. hearts differ, but basically have atria (atrium) and ventricles.

Complete the following table by finding types of animals that have different systems Open system interesting fact Closed system interesting fact:

Summary: (write down the key idea / concept)

Blood It consists of 3 main parts: - _______ is a straw coloured fluid and makes up 55% of the blood volume - 44% of the blood volume consists of ____________ - 1% of blood volume consists of ________ and _______ (but mostly _______) Plasma - plasmas main function is to act a s a liquid medium so that various dissolved substances can be moved throughout the body these include ______________________________________________________ 40 45% of carbon dioxide is carried by _________, but the remainder is dissolved in the _______ when CO2 dissolves in the water that makes up plasma, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which then dissociates into bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and hydrogen ions (H+) by converting CO2 into H2CO3, carbon dioxide levels are kept low in the plasma this means that there is a higher concentration of carbon dioxide inside the cells, so carbon dioxide will continue to diffuse out and into the plasma when blood reaches the lungs the CO2 is unloaded form the RBCs and the plasma

White Blood Cells - they have nuclei - macrophages travel through capillary walls and into tissues to consume pathogens, part of the innate immune response (general response to infection) - lymphocytes T-cells and B-cells, are specific for the antigen and are acquired immunity Red Blood Cells - enucleated, biconcave disks (nucleus takes up room) - they last about 120 days - contain hemoglobin for transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide Platelets - involved in the clotting process Questions: answer page 486 (11.2): 1,2,3,4,5,

Blood Vessels longest vessel: widest vessel: total length of all vessels:

General Blood Flow pattern: Heart Large Arteries Smaller Arteries Arterioles Capillaries Venules Small Veins Large Veins Heart -arteries (away from heart, high blood pressure) -pulmonary artery is unique in that:________________________ -arterioles: -vasoconstriction:

-vasodilation: -veins (towards heart, have valves, low blood pressure) -pulmonary vein is unique in that it has ____________ blood -venules -capillaries (to individual cells, materials diffuse across)

key terms for vessels: term superior pulmonary hepatic brachial renal coronary iliac femoral carotid maxillary temporal

meaning

example

page

-blood pressure: systolic pressure when the left ventricle closes -- this is the highest pressure -- blood travels fast the pressure immediately before the ventricles contract -- this is the lowest pressure during the heart cycle

diastolic pressure

blood pressure is measured in systolic diastolic normal is 120/80.

Greater heart rates cause more volume to be pumped in the system, causing higher pressure. lymphatic system -helps balance fluid in the body -filter bacteria and viruses -spleen a reservoir for lymph fluid, and blood cells heart -pulse is caused by the vibrations from closing ventricles -heart rate is measured in beats per minute -resting heart rate is done after 5 minutes of sitting
