Introduction
The circulatory system is comprised of:
-the heart,
- veins, -capillaries,
-arteries,
which work together to supply the body tissues with nourishment and collect waste materials.
The Heart and blood vessels together make up the cardiovascular System.
Functions of the cardiovascular system: Distribute nutrients, Transport and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide,

Cardiovascular System
Our cardiovascular system is a double circulatory system. This means it has two parts parts.
Lungs
oxygenated
blood.
Body cells
The heart is located near the center of the thoracic cavity between the lungs and is contained in the pericardial sac.
The pericardial sac supports the heart and contains some fluid for lubrication.
HEART LOCATION
Heart is located in the mediastinum
area from the sternum to the vertebral column and between the lungs
HEART LOCATION
Epicardium outer layer of heart wall, which is also the inner layer of epicardial sac; consists of
The atrioventricular valves (AV valve) separate the atrium and ventricle on each side of the heart.
The AV valves have flaps of tissues, called leaflets or cusps, which open and close to ensure that the blood flows only in one direction and does not backflow into the atriums. The AV valve on the right side of the heart is called the tricuspid valve because it has three leaflets (cusps). The AV valve on the left side of the heart is called the bicuspid valve (or mitral valve) because it has two leaflets. The pulmonary valve and the aortic valve prevent blood from back-flowing into their respective ventricles.
The pulmonary valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aortic artery.
How does the heart beat? A group of cells called the sinoatrial node (SA node) control the beat of the heart by sending out electrical signals to make the heart pump.
Heart Innervation
Heart receives visceral motor innervation
Sympathetic (speeds up) Parasympathetic (slows down) p. 534
The Heart
This is a vein. It brings blood from the body, except the lungs. These are arteries. They carry blood away from the heart.
2 atria 2 ventricles
Cardiac Veins
Coronary Sinus (largest) Many branches feed into sinus Sit in Coronary Sulcus
A heart attack often involves a clot in the coronary arteries or their branches.
In this illustration, a clot is shown in the location of #1. Area #2 shows the portion of the damaged heart that is affected by the

The atria then contract and the valves open to allow blood into the ventricles.
The valves close to stop blood flowing backwards. The ventricles contract forcing the blood to leave the heart. At the same time, the atria are relaxing and once again filling with blood.
blood from the heart gets around the body through blood vessels There are 3 types of blood vessels

The VEIN
Veins carry blood towards from the heart. veins have valves which act to stop the blood from going in the wrong direction. thin muscle and elastic fibres
body muscles surround the veins so that when they contract to move the body, they also squeeze the veins and push the blood along the vessel.
Artery/Vein differences
Arteries (aa.) Direction Blood Away from of flow Heart Pressure Higher Walls THICKER: Tunica media thicker than tunica externa Smaller No valves Veins (vv.) Blood to Heart Lower THINNER: Tunica externa thicker than tunica media Larger Valves (see next)
Lumen Valves
The CAPILLARY
Capillaries link Arteries with Veins
they exchange materials between the blood and other body cells.
The exchange of materials between the blood and the body can only occur through capillaries.
The CAPILLARY
A collection of capillaries is known as a capillary bed.
