MAJOR FUNCTION:
Transport
- O2 , nutrients, waste
- vital for homeostasis
I. HEART
II. BLOOD VESSELS
HEART :
- cone-shaped, hollow
A. Epicardium
B. Myocardium
2. Base postero-superior
C. Endocardium
- outer layer
- thin sheet
2 Ventricles
b. Parietal Pericardium
- superiorly located
a. Bicuspid/Mitral Valve
- Left AV valve
- 2 cusps/flaps
b. Tricuspid Valve - Right AV valve
Right Atrium
Right ventricle
Pulmonary Trunk
Pulmonary Arteries
Right Pulmonary Artery

Left Atrium
Systemic Circulation :
Left Atrium
Left Ventricle
Aorta
Body Organs/Tissues
Valves of the Heart :
4Valves allows blood to flow in one
direction
Atria
Ventricles
Ventricles
Arteries
1. Atrioventricular/ AV Valves
Cardiac Circulation:
Right & Left Coronary Arteries branch from the base of the Aorta
a. Anterior interventricular
Left
b. Circumflex artery
c. Posterior interventricular
Right
Atria Contracts
d. marginal artery
- AV valves open
B.Ventricular Systole
- ventricles contract
CO = HR(75beats/min) x SV
(70ml/beat)
= 5250 ml/min
Stroke volume
C. Early Diastole
- ventricles relax
- semilunar valves snap shut
- ventricular pressure decreases
- AV valves open when atrial pressure
rises
Heart Sounds:
lub-dup
1st Heart sound lub
- increase CO if SV increases
increase CO if HR increases
increase CO if HR & SV increases
- decrease CO if SV, HR or both
decreases
Regulation of Stroke Volume :
- a healthy heart pumps out about
60% of the
blood that enters it
FRANK-STARLING LAW:
Increase HR
Parasympathetic NS
Decrease HR
2. Hormones
Epinephrine
Venous Return
increase HR
Thyroxine
Hypocalcemia decrease HR
- slow heartbeat
return
5. Gender
increase venous
3. Ions/ Electrolytes
Hypercalcemia increase HR
4. Age
Fetus increase HR
Females increase HR
6. Temperature
increase HR
Fever
Cold decrease HR
7. Exercise increase HR
Physiology of Circulation:
- Indication of efficiency of circulation
is obtained by taking the blood
pressure & arterial pulse.
Arterial Pulse:
4. Ions ( Electrolytes)
5. Physical factors
b. Gender
3. Hormones
a. age
c. Exercise
d. Body temp
Temporal
Facial
Radial
Femoral
Carotid
Popliteal
Brachial
Tibial
Posterior
Dorsalis pedis
Blood Pressure :
- pressure the blood exerts against the
inner wall of the blood vessels & it is
the force that
keeps blood
circulating continuously even
between heartbeats.
- When the ventricles contract they
force blood through the thick &
elastic arteries
- The high pressure in the arteries
forces the
blood to continually
move into areas where
the
pressure is lower
- Valves in veins, milking activity of
skel;etal
muscles & pressure
changes in the thorax
returns
blood into the heart.
Measuring Blood pressure:
Systolic pressure pressure in the
arteries at the peak of ventricular
contraction
causes
Increase BP
* No vasoconstriction occurs in the
Heart & Brain
B. Renal Factors: Kidneys
- by altering blood volume
* Increase BPIncrease excretion of
water
BP returns to normal
*Decrease BP/ blood volume
decrease
excretion of water
Increase in BP
Deccrease in BP
1. Cardiac Output
to Angiotensin II by Angiotensin
2. Peripheral Resistance
converting enzyme(ACE)
D. Chemicals
1. Age
4. Body position
Histamine Decrease BP
2.Weight
5. Emotional state
E. Diet
3. Time of day
6. Drugs
