Circulatory system Transporting gases, nutrients, wastes, and hormones

Features and Functions
Slide 3-

Features Circulatory systems generally have three main features: Fluid (blood or hemolymph) that transports materials System of blood vessels A heart to pump the fluid through the vessels
Slide 4-

Types of circulatory systems Animals that have a circulatory system have one of two kinds: Open: fluid is circulated through an open body chamber. Closed: fluid is circulated through blood vessels.
Slide 5-

Open system Arthropods and most mollusks have an open circulatory system. Hemolymph is contained in a body cavity, the hemocoel. A series of hearts circulates the fluid.
Slide 6-

Closed system Vertebrates, annelid worms, and a few mollusks have a closed circulatory system. Blood is moved through blood vessels by the heart’s action. It does not come in direct contact with body organs.
Slide 7-

Why does an open circulatory system limit body size?
Slide 8-

Why did homeothermy (“warm-bloodedness) only develop in organisms with a closed circulatory system? W O R K T O G E T H E R

Blood
Slide 10-

Components Blood is made up of four major components. What do each of these do? Plasma: the liquid portion. Red blood cells. White cells. Platelets.
Slide 11-

Red blood cells RBCs lose their nucleus at maturity. Make up about 99% of the blood’s cellular component. Red color is due to hemoglobin.
Slide 12-

Hemoglobin Hemoglobin is a complex protein made up of four protein strands, plus iron-rich heme groups. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry four oxygen atoms. The presence of oxygen turns hemoglobin bright red.
Slide 13-

RBC lifespan RBCs live about 4 months. Iron from hemoglobin is recycled in the liver and spleen. The hormone erythropoeitin, made by the kidneys, stimulates the production of RBCs in red bone marrow.
Slide 14-

If your diet is poor in iron, what will happen to your RBCs?
Slide 15-

One of the illegal drugs that some top Olympic athletes have been caught using is erythropoetin. What would this hormone do that would give athletes an edge in competitions? W O R K T O G E T H E R
Slide 16-

White cells White blood cells defend against disease by recognizing proteins that do not belong to the body. White cells are able to ooze through the walls of capillaries to patrol the tissues and reach the lymph system.
Slide 17-

Platelets Platelets are cell fragments used in blood clotting. Platelets are derived from megakaryocites. Because they lack a nucleus, platelets have a short lifespan, usually about 10 days.
Slide 18-

Platelets aggregate at the site of a wound. Broken cells and platelets release chemicals to stimulate thrombin production. Thrombin converts the protein fibrinogen into sticky fibrin, which binds the clot. Blood clotting
Slide 19-

Which blood cells transport oxygen?
Slide 20-

If a person had a defect in the gene for fibrinogen, what health problems could this cause? W O R K T O G E T H E R

Blood Vessels
Slide 22-

Classes of blood vessels Blood vessels fall into three major classes: Arteries and arterioles carry blood away from the heart. Veins and venules carry blood to the heart. Capillaries allow exchange of nutrients, wastes and gases.
Slide 23-

Arteries Arteries are thick-walled, and lined with smooth muscle. How does the structure of an artery help with its function?
Slide 24-

Arterioles Arterioles branch off of arteries. Arterioles can constrict to direct and control blood flow. They may, for example, increase or decrease blood supply to the skin. How might arterioles be involved when: Your skin turns red when you are hot. A person’s face turns pale with fright.
Slide 25-

Capillaries Body tissues contain a vast network of thin capillaries. Capillary walls are only one cell thick, allowing exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes. Capillaries are so fine that RBCs must line up single-file to go through them.
Slide 26-

Venules Venules are thin-walled collectors of blood. Low pressure in the venules allows the capillary beds to drain into them.
Slide 27-

Veins Veins have thinner walls than arteries. Veins have fewer smooth muscle cells, but do have valves. How do valves and the skeletal muscles help veins function?
Slide 28-

Besides the ability to contract and move blood, why do arteries need to be so thick and strong? Varicose veins are veins in the legs that are swollen, stretched, and painful. What factors could lead to this condition, and how can varicose veins be prevented? W O R K T O G E T H E R
Slide 29-

Atherosclerosis LDL cholesterol forms plaques in arteries, triggering inflammation. The immune system forms a hard cap over the plaque, partially blocking the artery. Caps can rupture, creating clots that can close off an artery.
Slide 30-

Preventing heart attacks Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to atherosclerosis. Blood LDL cholesterol can be reduced by a low-fat diet that emphasizes high-fiber foods, antioxidants, and “good” fats (monounsaturated fats, omega-3 oils), and reduce trans-fats. Regular exercise also contributes significantly to LDL cholesterol reduction.
Slide 31-

What is always true of arteries?
Slide 32-

Besides having to constrict to move blood, why are artery walls so thick and strong?
Slide 33-

Why are capillary walls so thin?
Slide 34-

Some people who are at high risk for heart attacks may be advised by their doctors to take low doses of aspirin daily. What effects does aspirin have that would help prevent heart attacks? W O R K T O G E T H E R

Heart
Slide 36-

The Vertebrate Heart Vertebrate hearts are separated into two types of chambers Atria (singular: atrium): receive blood from body or lungs. Contractions of the atria send blood through a valve to the ventricles. Ventricles: receive blood from atria, contract to send blood to body or lungs.
Slide 37-

Two-chambered heart The simplest vertebrate heart is the two-chambered heart, seen in fishes. A single atrium receives blood from the body cells. A ventricle sends blood to the gills to collect oxygen.
Slide 38-

Three-chambered heart Separate atria allow some separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which was an advantage for land organisms (reptiles, amphibians). Though blood can mix in the ventricle, mixing is minimal. Some reptiles have partial separation of the ventricle.
Slide 39-

Four-chambered heart The four-chambered heart, seen in birds and mammals, allows complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Complete separation is necessary to support a fast metabolism found in homeotherms.
Slide 40-

“Dual pump” operation The four-chambered heart acts as two pumps.
Slide 41-

Heart Anatomy
Slide 42-

Keeping Time The sinoatrial (SA) node is nervous tissue that times heart beats. The SA node causes atria to contract, and sends the signal to the atrioventricular (AV) node to signal the ventricles to contract.
Slide 43-

Blood pressure Systolic pressure = pressure when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure = pressure between heart beats.
Slide 44-

Which set of heart vessels moves deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs?
Slide 45-

If your blood pressure is 90/70, the 70 represents:
Slide 46-

An electric pacemaker can be connected to the heart to replace a faulty:

Hypertension (high blood pressure) puts people at risk for heart disease. What long-term effects would an increase in blood pressure have on the heart? What other organ system is involved in hypertension? W O R K T O G E T H E R
