Good Morning!

Welcome to a Lecture on Internal Transport!

Chapter 42Power point slides will be available on the course website.

Any Questions? My office is Miller 23, Ext. 3605.

I. Meeting the Metabolic Needs of a Multicellular Organism Requires:

• A delivery system for nutrients, minerals, gases and wastes so cells can exchange with their environment.

• A closed circuit that minimizes the diffusion distance.

• Extensive communication with other systems: Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Lymphatic.

• Maintenance of Homeostasis.

II. The Vertebrate Circulatory Systemaka Our Cardiovascular System

• Continuous closed circuit under pressure.

• Components: Transporting Medium = Blood Plumbing = Blood Vessels Pump = 4 chambered Heart

• 3 functions: Transportation, Protection and Regulation

• The health of this system is vital to all other organ systems. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of untimely death in the US.

Erythrocytes

Red and white blood cells within an arteriole. Arteries branch into arterioles within organs and deliver blood to the capillaries. SEM X6130.

STOP THE BLEEDING!

Blood Clot. Red blood cells are trapped in a clot of fibrin. Damage to the connective tissue in blood vessels triggers a series of events that leads to the conversion of fibrinogen (an inactive sealant in our blood) to be converted to fibrin. SEM X4005.

V. Behold the Heart

A. Lub Dub provides us with……..• Circulation of 5-35 liters of blood/minute• Through at least 60,000 miles of blood vessels• 1 heartbeat (lub dub) in 0.8 seconds• Heartbeats of 100,000 times /day• 2.5 billion times over our lifetime• Pumping 300 million liters (80 million gallons)

over our lifetime• Ever faithful….if we identify risk factors and

modify our lifestyles.

B. Those Risk Factors for the #1 Killer = Cardiovascular Disease

• SMOKING• Hypertension• Couch Potato Lifestyle • Poor Diet• Obesity• High cholesterol, Trigylcerides and LDL

levels; Low HDL levels• Diabetes mellitus

Your heart: Your hardest working muscle of all!

C. Your heart is a Double Pump with a Double Circuit:

•Systemic Circulation (blood to the body)

•Pulmonary Circulation (blood to lungs for oxygen)

Electrocardiography: Placing electrodes on the body to monitor the electrical activity of the heart.

And if the pacemaker is broken we can fix it!

G. The Cardiac Cycle

• Follows the electrical message (Action Potential).• Makes up one complete heartbeat.• Takes. 0.8 seconds.• Involves contraction = SYSTOLE

and relaxation = DIASTOLE of the heart chambers.• Systole and Diastole are monitored when we have

our Blood Pressure taken (120/70).• ‘Lub-dub’ heart sounds during the cycle result from

the valves closing.• Valve problems are diagnosed as heart murmurs.
