Cardiovascular System
Chapter 5
Rogers State University
1
Anatomy and Physiology
pump and delivery system
 supply trillions of cells with oxygen and
other nutrients vital for survival
 transport cellular waste to appropriate
organs for removal

Rogers State University
2
Structures
heart - pump
 vessels - container
 blood - liquid

Rogers State University
3
The Heart




hollow muscular organ
(cardiac muscle)
pump to circulate blood
blood to oxygenate cells
and remove waste
products
Cardi/o - heart
Rogers State University
4
Location and Protection






located between the
lungs and above the
diaphragm
Pericardium
Pericardial Fluid
Epicardium
Myocardium
Endocardium
Rogers State University
5
Blood Vessels
Blood Vessels - arteries, veins, capillaries
angi/o and vas/o
 arteries - carry blood away from heart,
oxygenated blood
 veins - carry blood to the heart,
deoxygenated blood

Rogers State University
6
Arteries
arteri/o
 blood propelled by heart
 arteries are thick with three layers
 pulse-surge of blood
 oxygenated blood - bright red
 arteries to arterioles to capillaries

Rogers State University
7
Capillaries





system of microscopic
vessels
one epithelial cell thick
connect arterial/venous
systems
blood flow much slower
through capillaries to
allow for exchange
blood cells travel in
single file
Rogers State University
8
Veins






low-pressure collecting
system
ven/o and phleb/o
venules - small veins
veins have valves
deoxygenated blood
venae cavae - venous
blood to Right Atrium
Rogers State University
9
Heart
myocardium - muscle layer
 pericardium - sac containing the heart


Blood Supply to Heart

Coronary Artery System
– right coronary
– left coronary
» left anterior descending
» circumflex
Rogers State University
14

Systemic Circulation
– All parts of body except lungs

Pulmonary Circulation
– pulmonary arterial system
Rogers State University
15
Conduction System
1-SA Node (Pacemaker)
2-AV Node
3-Bundle of His
4-Perkinje fibers
Rogers State University
16
Normal Sinus Rhythm
Rogers State University
17
Arrhythmias or Dysrhythmias






Palpitation: irregular, rapid pulsation of the heart
Fibrillation: heart muscle fibers contract at random with
no coordination
atrial fibrillation (Afib): heart rhythm is fast and
irregular
ventricular fibrillation: severely abnormal heart rhythm
that can be life-threatening
Bradycardia: <60 bpm
Tachycardia: >100 bpm
Rogers State University
18
Pulse

pulse-rhythmic
expansion and
contraction of an
artery produced by
pressure of blood
moving through the
artery
Rogers State University
19
Blood Pressure



Measurement of
amount of pressure
exerted against the
walls of the vessels.
Systolic - highest
pressure result of
ventricular contraction
Diastolic - lowest
pressure when
ventricles relaxed
Rogers State University

Pathology of the Cardiovascular
system
Rogers State University
21
Atherosclerosis
scleroses
 hypercholesterolemia
 ischemia
 thrombosis, embolus
 occlusion
 aneurysm

Rogers State University
22
Aneurysm
A localized balloonlike enlargement of
an artery.
Rogers State University
23
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Diseases of coronary circulation
 atherosclerosis may cause angina, MI and
sudden death
 myocardial ischemia

– angina, dyspnea

myocardial infarction
– diaphoresis, pallor, dyspnea
Rogers State University
24
Procedures
Opening Blocked Arteries



Rogers State University
Percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA)
Carotid endarterectomy
Coronary artery bypass surgery
– revascularization
25
Ischemic Heart Disease OR IHD



cardiac disability due to
insufficient supply of
oxygenated blood to heart
caused by constriction or
obstruction of coronary artery
Ischemia - deficiency of
blood supply
Rogers State University
26
Congestive Heart Failure



Impaired cardiac pumping, caused by myocardial
infarction, ischemic heart disease, or
cardiomyopathy.
Failure of the ventricle to eject blood efficiently
causes pulmonary congestion; elevated right heart
Rogers State University
27
Varicose Veins

Incompetent valves
– esophageal varices
– anal hemorrhoids
– legs
Edema (localized, generalized)
 phlebitis, thrombophlebitis

Rogers State University
28
Blood Composition
55% plasma (liquid portion of blood)
 45% blood cells

Rogers State University
29
Blood Types
4 blood types: A, B, AB, O
 Blood type is determined by surface
antigens

