Heart - A specialized organ that pumps blood

divided into left and right side

each with an atrium and ventricle

mammals have double circulation: body heart lungs heart body

HEART BEAT

Originate within heart muscle (mysogenic)

pacemaker (sino-atrial node)

impulses from right atrium, regular impulses contractions

Atrio-Ventricular Node (AV)

contractions start at apex and push blood to arteries

can be influenced by hormones

ATRIA

collects blood from body and lungs

have thin walls

not much pressure needed on blood to ventricles

VENTRICLES

blood gets pumped in

has thick walls move blood further

right ventricle

pumps blood to lungs and has thinner walls

left ventricle

pumps blood aorta body, and thicker walls

VALVES

closes when blood flows wrong direction, flaps of tissues w/o muscle

tricuspid valve

in between right atrium and ventricle

semi-lunar valves in pulmonary artery and aorta

tissue attached them prevents from opening on the wrong side

ARTERIES

transport blood away from heart (except pulmonary artery)

thick muscular walls but no valves

move blood high speed & pressure

CAPILLARIES

thin walls easy to exchange materials

moves blood at low speed and moderate pressure

small numerous blood vessels

VEINS

VEINS

BLOOD

transport blood to heart (except hepatic portal vein)

carry de-oxygenated blood ( except pulmonary vein)
move blood at moderate speed and low pressure
thin wall, has valves prevent from blood flowing back

BLOOD

plasma

proteins, dissolved nutrients, hormones, waste materials

erythrocytes ( red blood cells)

leucocytes ( white blood cells) - phagocytes & lymphocytes
thrombocytes (platelets)
