How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?
![Page 2: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Circulatory System
What is the circulatory system?
What are its functions?
![Page 3: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Circulatory system - structure Consists of
Blood – the medium The Heart – the pump Blood Vessels – the pathways
![Page 4: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Function
Transports substances within the body Nutrients/waste products Gases – oxygen/carbon dioxide Hormones Immune system
Also assists with temperature regulation

Plasma Makes up 55% of blood volume
90% water 7% plasma protein
Fibrinogen, albumins and globulins – assist in transport and clotting
2% dissolved solutes Nutrients, wastes, hormones
1% dissolved salts Sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate and sulfate

Red Blood Cells
![Page 11: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Red Blood Cells
aka erythrocytes Carry oxygen and carbon dioxide Biconcave Do not have a nucleus Produced in bone marrow and stored in the
spleen Contain hemoglobin – the protein which carries
oxygen and carbon dioxide
![Page 12: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hemoglobin
![Page 13: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hemoglobin
![Page 14: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hemoglobin
Each hemoglobin has 4 subunits Each subunit has an iron atom which
associates with one oxygen/carbon dioxide molecule
A shortage of hemoglobin is called anemia

White Blood Cells
Part of the immune system Defends the body against invaders Pus can form when there is an infection
A mixture of living and dead white blood cells and bacteria
Responds to infection by: Enveloping foreign bodies Destroying infected cells Signalling the body – inflammation, fever

Platelets
Contain the protein fibrinogen Responsible for clotting

Blood Types
What are they? How are they determined?
![Page 20: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Blood types
The four blood types are A, B, AB and O. They are determined by the presence (or
absence) of the A and B antigens on the cell A separate antigen (Rh factor) determines
whether or not it is positive or negative
![Page 21: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

The Heart
Muscled organ used to pump blood Consists of 4 chambers Two types of chambers – atria and ventricles Heart can be divided into left and right sides
Septum – tissue that separates left and right sides
![Page 24: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Atria and Ventricles
Two types of chambers Atria
Receive blood Ventricles
Pump blood

Left and Right Sides
Left side Receives deoxygenated blood from body Pumps it to lungs
Right side Receives oxygenated blood from lungs Pumps it to the body
![Page 26: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Systemic and Pulmonary Circuits Blood travels along two distinct pathways SYSTEMIC CIRCUIT
From the heart to all the tissues and back Leaving the heart with oxygenated blood and
returning with deoxygenated blood PULMONARY CIRCUIT
From the heart to the lungs and back Leaving the heart with deoxygenated blood and
returning with oxygenated blood

Blood Vessels
Arteries – carry blood away from the heart Veins – carry blood towards heart Capillaries – site of diffusion
![Page 30: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Arteries
![Page 31: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Arteries
Carry blood away from the heart Thick, muscular walls – epithelial, muscle
and connective tissue Elastic Found deep within muscle tissue Blood propelled by heart, blood pressure Arteries branch into smaller arterioles
![Page 32: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Veins
![Page 33: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Veins
Carry blood towards the heart Thin, elastic walls Found near the surface of the skin Contain valves to ensure blood only flows in
one direction Blood is propelled by muscular contraction Smaller veins called venules collect blood
from capillaries
![Page 34: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Capillaries
![Page 35: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Capillaries
Site of nutrient exchange/diffusion Extremely narrow – only one red blood cell
may pass at a time Extremely thin walls Beds of extremely dense, diffuse blood
vessels provide surface area for diffusion
![Page 36: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Blood Pressure
The force of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels
Systolic – while the heart is contracting Diastolic – while the heart is relaxing
![Page 37: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Measuring Blood Pressure
Measured with a SPHYGMOMANOMETER and a stethoscope
![Page 38: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Measuring blood pressure
Systolic Pressure
Diastolic Pressure
Cuff Pressure
No pulseCuff cuts off circulation
PulseSystolic pressure ableto overcome cuff pressure
No pulseBoth systolic and diastolicpressures are greater thanCuff pressure. Blood flows smoothly
![Page 39: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Measuring Blood Pressure
Inflate cuff until circulation cut off Slowly release pressure Listen Pulse is heard when systolic pressure is
reached Pulse stops when diastolic pressure is
reached
![Page 40: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Blood Pressure
A normal systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg A normal diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg
![Page 41: The problem How do we get nutrients and gases to every cell of the body?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ee55503460f94bf53dd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Blood Pressure
What is your blood pressure? What factors do you think affect blood
pressure? Design and conduct an experiment to
determine one of the factors affecting blood pressure.
