1. Circulation
The Body’s Transport System
 Circulatory System:

Organs and tissues that transport essential material to the
body cells and remove the waste
 Cardiovascular System:

Another name for the Circulatory System
The Body’s Transport System
 Pulmonary Circulation:
 Flow of blood from the heart to the lungs
and back to the heart
 Systemic Circulation:
 Flow of blood from the heart to all of the
body tissue except the lungs
 Atrium:
 Top chambers of the heart
 Pump blood to the ventricles
The Body’s Transport System
 Ventricle:
 Lower chambers of the heart
 Pump blood out of the heart
 Blood flows from atrium to ventricles
 Pulmonary refers to the lungs
 Cardiac refers to the heart

Blood
 Blood:
 A mixture of solids in a liquid called plasma
 Plasma:
 92% water, transports blood solids, nutrients,
hormones, and other materials
 Red Blood Cells:
 Carry 02 to cells and CO2 away from cells
 White Blood Cells:
 Helps fight disease and infection by attacking germs
 Platelets:
 Help blood forms clots at would site-prevents blood
loss
Blood
 Blood Vessels:
 80,000 miles of blood vessels that transport
blood throughout the body
 Arteries carry blood away from the heart
 Veins carry blood to the heart
 Capillaries:
 Tiny tubes that carry blood from the arteries to
the body cells and back to veins
 Actual location of O2/CO2 transfer
Blood
 Blood Pressure:
 Measured by a sphygmomanometer
 Systalic Pressure:
 pressure at the highest
 Occurs at ventricular contraction
 Diastolic Pressure:
 Pressure at the lowest point
 Occurs on atrial contraction
 BP is the measurement of the pressure that
blood exerts on the walls of the arteries
Blood
 Blood Types
 A:
 Has A substances
 Accepts A and O blood
 B:
 Has B substances
 Accepts B and O blood
 AB:
 Has both A and B substances
 Accepts A, B,O, and AB blood (universal recipient)
 O:
 Has neither substance
 Only accepts O blood
 Can donate to all types
Blood
 Giving and Receiving Blood
 Mixing blood types can cause dangerous
reactions, even death
 Can give blood between ages of 17-70
 Blood is frozen/refrigerated at blood
bank
 New needles are used for each donor
 Blood is tested for disease
 Positive blood is discard and donor may be
notified
Problems of the Circulatory
System
 Hypertension:
 Blood pressure is consistently high
 Can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney
and other organ failure
 Stroke:
 Results from blood clot that blocks
vessels in the brain or a rupture of a
blood vessel in the brain
Problems of the Circulatory
System
 Heart Attack:
 Blockage in the flow of blood to the heart
 Arteriosclerosis:
 Hardening of the arteries
 Reduces the amount of blood that can
flow through them
 Anemia:
 Abnormally low level of hemoglobin
Problems of the Circulatory
System
 Leukemia:
 Disease in which extra white blood cells are
produced
 Hemophilia:
 Disease in which the plasma doesn’t
contain substances that help the blood to
clot
Care of the Circulatory System
 Limit Fat in Your Foods:
 Fatty deposits can form on the walls of
your arteries
 Causes narrowing
 Increases blood pressure
 Makes heart work harder to circulate blood
 Damages organs
 Get Regular Physical Activity:
 Strengthens heart muscle
 Heart beats more efficiently
Care of the Circulatory System
 Avoid Tobacco:
 Contain nicotine
 Narrows arteries
 Increases blood pressure
 Manage Stress:
 Stress makes body secrete adrenaline
 Increases blood pressure
