Impacts, Issues
And Then My Heart Stood Still
Each heartbeat starts with an electrical signal; in
sudden cardiac arrest, a defibrillator is needed
to restart the heart

37.1 The Nature of Blood Circulation
A circulatory system distributes materials
throughout the vertebrate body (and some
invertebrates)
A heart pumps the transport medium (blood)
through vessels
Blood and interstitial fluid (fluid between cells)
make up the body’s internal environment
![Page 4: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Two Kinds of Circulatory Systems
Open circulatory system (arthropods, mollusks)
• Blood moves through hearts and large vessels, but
also mixes with interstitial fluid
Closed circulatory system (annelids, vertebrates)
• Blood remains inside heart and blood vessels
• Materials diffuse between blood and interstitial fluid
at capillaries
![Page 5: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Open and Closed Circulatory Systems
![Page 6: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Evolution of Circulation in Vertebrates
Fishes
• Heart with two chambers
• Single circuit of circulation
Amphibians
• Heart with three chambers
• Two partially separated circuits
Birds and mammals
• Heart with four chambers
• Two fully separate circuits
![Page 7: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Circulation in Birds and Mammals
The four-chambered heart has two separate
halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle
Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit
• Pulmonary circuit: Blood flows from right half of
heart, to lungs (gains oxygen), to left half of heart
• Systemic circuit: Blood flows from left half of
heart, to body (loses oxygen), to right half of heart
![Page 8: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Comparison of Flow Circuits
![Page 9: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
37.1 Key Concepts
Overview of Circulatory Systems
Many animals have either an open or a closed
circulatory system that transports substances to
and from all body tissues
All vertebrates have a closed circulatory system,
in which blood is always contained within the
heart or blood vessels
![Page 10: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
37.2 Characteristics of Blood
Blood consists mainly of plasma, a protein-rich
fluid that carries wastes, gases and nutrients
Blood cells and platelets form in bone marrow
and are transported in plasma
• Platelets are fragments of megakaryocytes,
active in clotting
![Page 11: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Blood Cells
Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
• Contain hemoglobin that carries oxygen from
lungs to tissues
• Quantified in cell count
White blood cells (leukocytes)
• Defend the body from pathogens
• Neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes,
and lymphocytes (B and T cells)
![Page 12: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Components of Human Blood
![Page 13: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

37.3 Hemostasis
Hemostasis is a three-phase process that stops
blood loss, constructs a framework for repairs
• Damaged vessel constricts
• Platelets accumulate
• Cascading enzyme reactions involving plasma
proteins cause clot formation
![Page 15: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Three-Phase Process of Hemostasis

37.4 Blood Typing
Blood type
• Genetically determined differences in molecules
on the surface of red blood cells
Agglutination
• Clumping of foreign cells by plasma proteins
• When blood of incompatible types mixes, the
immune system attacks the unfamiliar molecules
![Page 17: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

ABO Blood Typing
Blood type O is a universal donor; blood type AB
can receive blood from any donor
![Page 19: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Rh Blood Typing
An Rh- mother may develop Rh+ antibodies if
blood from an Rh+ child enters her bloodstream
during childbirth
These antibodies may attack the red blood cells
of the next Rh+ fetus
![Page 21: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

37.2-37.4 Key Concepts
Blood Composition and Function
Vertebrate blood is a fluid connective tissue
It consists of red blood cells, white blood cells,
platelets, and plasma (the transport medium)
Red blood cells function in gas exchange; white
blood cells defend tissues, and platelets function
in clotting
![Page 23: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
37.5 Human Cardiovascular System
The term “cardiovascular” comes from the Greek
kardia (for heart) and Latin vasculum (vessel)
In a cardiovascular circuit, blood flows from the
heart through arteries, arterioles, capillaries,
venules, veins, and back to the heart
![Page 24: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Two Circuits of
the Human Cardiovascular System
Pulmonary circuit
• Oxygen-poor blood flows from the heart, through
a pair of lungs, then back to the heart
• Blood takes up oxygen in the lungs
Systemic circuit
• Oxygenated blood flows from the heart (through
the aorta) into capillary beds where it gives up O2
and takes up CO2, then flows back to the heart
![Page 25: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pulmonary and Systemic Circuits
of the Human Cardiovascular System

The Circulatory System and Homeostasis
![Page 28: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
37.6 The Human Heart
A sac of connective tissue (pericardium)
surrounds the heart muscle (myocardium)
Endothelium lines heart chambers and blood
vessels
Heart valves keep blood moving in one direction
• AV valves separate atria and ventricles
• Semilunar valves separate ventricles and arteries
![Page 29: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Human Heart
![Page 30: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Cardiac Cycle
Cardiac cycle: Heart muscle alternates between
diastole (relaxation) and systole (contraction)
• Blood collects in atria
• AV valves open, blood flows into ventricles
• Contraction of ventricles drives blood circulation
• Ventricles contract with a wringing motion from
bottom to top
![Page 31: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Cardiac Cycle
![Page 32: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cardiac Muscle
Cardiac muscle cells are striated (divided into
sarcomeres) and have many mitochondria
Cells attach end to end at intercalated discs
Neighboring cells communicate through gap
junctions that conduct waves of excitation
![Page 33: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Cardiac Muscle Cells and Gap Junctions
![Page 34: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How the Heart Beats
Cardiac pacemaker (SA node)
• A clump of noncontracting cells in the right
atrium’s wall spontaneously fires action potentials
about 70 times per minute
Cardiac conduction system
• Signal spreads from SA node to AV node and
junctional fibers in the septum, so heart contracts
in a coordinated fashion
![Page 35: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Cardiac Conduction System

37.5-37.6 Key Concepts
The Human Heart and Two Flow Circuits
The four-chambered human heart pumps blood
through two separate circuits of blood vessels
One circuit extends through all body regions, the
other through lung tissue only
Both circuits loop back to the heart
![Page 37: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37.7 Pressure, Transport,
and Flow Distribution
Contracting ventricles put pressure on the blood,
forcing it through a series of vessels
• Arteries carry blood from ventricles to arterioles
• Arterioles control blood distribution to capillaries
• Capillaries exchange substances
• Venules collect blood from capillaries
• Veins deliver blood back to heart
![Page 38: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Human Blood Vessels
![Page 39: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Blood Pressure
Blood pressure
• The pressure exerted by blood on the walls of
blood vessels
• Highest in arteries, then declines through circuit
• Rate of blood flow depends on the difference in
blood pressure between two points, and
resistance to flow
![Page 40: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Blood Pressure in the Systolic Circuit
![Page 41: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Blood Flow
Thick, elastic arteries smooth out variations in
blood pressure during the cardiac cycle
Arterioles respond to signals from the autonomic
and nervous systems, and to chemical signals,
to direct blood flow to different parts of the body
![Page 42: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Distribution of Cardiac Output
in a Resting Person
![Page 43: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Controlling Blood Pressure
Blood pressure depends on total blood volume,
how much blood the ventricles pump (cardiac
output), and whether arterioles are constricted or
dilated
Receptors in the aorta and carotid arteries
monitor blood pressure and send signals to the
medulla, which regulates cardiac output and
arteriole diameter
![Page 44: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Measuring Blood Pressure
![Page 45: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
37.8 Diffusion at Capillaries,
Then Back to the Heart
Capillary
• A cylinder of endothelial cells, one cell thick
• Capillary beds are diffusion zones, where blood
exchanges substances with interstitial fluid
• Hydrostatic pressure moves materials out
(ultrafiltration)
• Osmotic pressure moves water in (capillary
reabsorption)
![Page 46: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Fluid Movement at a Capillary Bed

Venous Pressure
Venules deliver blood from capillaries to veins
Veins deliver blood to the heart
• Large-diameter, blood volume reservoirs
• Valves help prevent backflow
• Amount of blood in veins varies with activity level
![Page 48: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

37.7-37.8 Key Concepts
Blood Vessel Structure and Function
The heart pumps blood rhythmically, on its own
Adjustments at arterioles regulate how blood
volume is distributed among tissues
Exchange of gases, wastes, and nutrients
between the blood and tissues takes place at
capillaries
![Page 50: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
37.9 Blood and Cardiovascular Disorders
Red blood cell disorders
• Anemias, beta-thalassemias, polycythemia
White blood cell disorders
• Infectious mononucleosis, leukemias, lymphomas

Risk Factors
Cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause
of death in the United States
Risk factors
• Tobacco smoking, family history, hypertension,
high cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, obesity, age,
physical inactivity, gender

37.9 Key Concepts
When the System Breaks Down
Cardiovascular problems include clogged blood
vessels or abnormal heart rhythms
Some problems have a genetic basis; most are
related to age or life-style

37.10 Interactions With
the Lymphatic System
Vessels and organs of the lymphatic system
interact closely with the circulatory system
Lymph vascular system
• Lymph capillaries and vessels that collect water
and solutes from interstitial fluid and deliver them
to the circulatory system
![Page 58: Circulation - Weebly...Circulation in Birds and Mammals The four-chambered heart has two separate halves, each with an atrium and a ventricle Each half pumps blood in a separate circuit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3d032ccaf6be79e152c577/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Three Functions of
the Lymph Vascular System
Returns fluids and plasma proteins that leak out
of capillaries to the circulatory system
Delivers fats absorbed from the small intestine to
the blood
Transports cellular debris, pathogens, and
foreign cells to lymph nodes

Lymphoid Organs and Tissues
Lymph nodes
• Organs that filter lymph before it enters blood and
identify pathogens
Tonsils in throat and adenoids in nasal cavity
• Respond to inhaled pathogens

Lymphoid Organs and Tissues
Spleen
• Filters pathogens and worn out blood cells from
blood
Thymus gland
• Matures T lymphocytes essential to the immune
system

37.10 Key Concepts
Links With the Lymphatic System
A lymph vascular system delivers excess fluid
that collects in tissues to the blood
Lymphoid organs cleanse blood of infectious
agents and cellular debris
