Function of the Cardiovascular System

Nourishes the body by transporting nutrients and oxygen to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and other waste products

Microcirculation

6Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cardiovascular System

heart: muscular organ the size of a closed fist, located behind the breast bone and between the lungs. The pumping action, circulates blood throughout the body upper chambers: right and left atrium lower chambers: right and left ventricle cardiac septum: separates right and left sides

of heart

7Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cardiovascular System (cont’d)

tricuspid valve: located between right atrium and right ventricle

bicuspid valve (mitral valve): located between the left atrium and left ventricle

pericardium: outer layer of heart

myocardium: middle, thick, muscular layer

endocardium: inner lining of the heart

8Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cardiovascular System (cont’d)

blood vessels: tubelike structures that carry blood throughout the body arteries: carry blood containing oxygen &

other nutrients away from the heart to the body cells except for the pulmonary artery, which carries carbon dioxide and other waste products to the lungs

arterioles: smallest arteries aorta: largest artery in the body

9Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cardiovascular System (cont’d)

veins: carry blood containing carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the heart except for the pulmonary vein, which carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart venules: smallest veins in the body venae cavae: largest veins in the body capillaries: connect arterioles with venules;

exchange of gases takes place in capillaries

10Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cardiovascular System (cont’d)

blood plasma: liquid portion of blood in which cells

float cells

erythrocytes: red blood cells that carry oxygen leukocytes: white blood cells that fight

infection platelets (thrombocytes): for coagulation

11Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Function of the Lymphatic System

Removal of excessive tissue fluid, which

develops from increased metabolic activity.

(Lymphatics, or lymph vessels, are found

throughout most of the body.)

Lymphatic System

13Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Lymphatic System

lymph: transparent, usually colorless, tissue fluid

lymph nodes: small, spherical bodies made up of lymphoid tissue; act as filters in keeping substances such as bacteria from the blood

14Copyright © 2005 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.

Lymphatic System (cont’d)

spleen: located in the left side of the abdominal cavity between the stomach and the diaphragm; largest lymphatic organ in the body

thymus gland: located anterior to the ascending aorta and posterior to the sternum between the lungs; plays an important role in the development of the body’s immune system
