Ch 12 Cardiovascular Physiology

6 sections p. 359-4392 CV labs:

1 Frog heart, 1 Human EKG and Blood Pressure

Circulatory System Circulates• Nutrients: glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, ketones, etc• Wastes:• Hormones: bound & free• Gases: CO2 and O2

• Formed Elements: Cells and Cell Fragments– Erythrocytes, Leukocytes, Thrombocytes = Platelets

Other roles of the Cardiovascular System

Thermoregulation

Blood Clotting

Reproduction (ex: penile erection)

Figure 12.01Blood volume ~ 5 liters

Serum = plasma – clotting factors

Formed elements

Components……

Blood doping & erythropoietin (hormone that stimulates erythrocyte production in bone marrow) to increase hematocrit

Entering and Exiting the blood

Discontinuous capillaries in bone marrow, spleen, & liver permit erythrocytes to enter and exit blood.

Hct = percentage of blood volume occupied by RBCs

Anemia

The Scoop on Tissie

Fig. 12.02Arteries..away from heart

Veins..return to heart

Regional blood flow determined by arteries and arterioles.

Resting Cardiac Output = 5L/min for each side!

When left heart can’t pump all the blood it receives from pulmonary circuit (due to high aortic pressure and/or damage to left ventricle) blood accumulates in pulmonary circuit. This is congestive heart failure. Symptom: shortness of breath.

CO = 5L/minfor each circuit

Up to 35 L/min in strenuous exercise
