Blood vessels
There are three types of blood vessels:
Arteries
Capillaries
Veins
2
Blood vessels
3
Arteries
Carry blood away from the heart
Thick muscular wall to withstand high
pressure of blood
Narrow lumen
Most collagen (tough fibrous protein)tough and durable
Elastic fibres and smooth muscle- allows
stretch & recoil
4
Arteries… cont
No valves
Branch into smaller and smaller vesselsarterioles
Contraction of smooth muscle of arterioles
allows blood to be diverted to different
parts of the body
e.g. fight or flight more blood to skeletal
muscles and less to digestive system
5
Arteries… cont
6
Capillaries
Tiny vessels- 1 cell thick wall 10mm in diameter
Exchange of nutrients and waste with tissues
occurs here
Extensive branching network (capillary bed)
throughout body tissues
Only certain capillary beds open at one time to
allow shunting of blood from one area to
another
7
Capillaries… cont
Most numerous type of blood vessel in the
body
Permeable walls
Carry blood at low pressure and low flow
rate
Reduces fluid loss through permeable
capillary walls
Allows sufficient time for exchange of
8
materials
Veins
Carry blood back to the heart
Thin muscular wall as blood at low
pressure
Wide lumen- reduces resistance to blood
flow
Less collagen, elastic fibres and smooth
muscle
10
Veins… cont
Have valves
Blood at low pressure- return blood
against gravity- so lie close to muscleswhen muscle contract they squeeze the
veins to temporarily increase the blood
pressure

Veins… cont

Describe three things that this graph shows.
Major Blood Vessels
NB heart muscle itself
is supplied with blood by
coronary arteries
16
Cardiac Cycle
A pattern of contraction (systole) and
relaxation (diastole) by heart in 1 heart
beat
Lasts about 0.8 seconds (based on heart
rate of 75bpm)
Chambers alternately contract and relax
Blood always flows towards low pressure
17
Cardiac Cycle…cont
3 phases to the cycle:
1. Atrial systole
2. Ventricular systole
3. Diastole
Decrease in
volume
Increase in
pressure
Blood forced
out
18
Atrial systole
Blood flows into LA and RA under low
pressure
LA & RA contract simultaneously
AV (bicuspid & tricuspid) valves open
Blood forced into LV & RV
At this point LV & RV in diastole & SL
valves closed
19
Ventricular systole
0.1 secs later
AV (bicuspid & tricuspid) valves close
Blood forced into LV & RV which contract
& push blood through open SL valves to
arteries
High pressure in ventricles
20
Diastole
Atria & ventricles relax
Elastic recoil of relaxing heart walls
lowers pressure in atria & ventricles
Blood under high pressure in arteries
drawn back into heart from veins
21
Heart Sounds
Lub dub
Lub- closing of AV valves
Dub- closing of SL valves
Human heart sounds
Feline heart sounds
