Resumo de Recurso
The Circulatory System
Blood Flow
Vena Cava
Right Atrium
Right Ventricle
Pulmonary Artery
Lungs
Pulmonary Vein
Left Atrium
Left Ventricle
Aorta
Rest of the Body
Vena Cava
This is the only vein to have oxygenated blood
This is the only artery to have deoxygenated blood
Red = oxygentated blood
Blue = deoxygenated blood
Purple = diffusion of oxygen
Blood Vessels
Arteries
Narrow lumen
Maintains high pressure
Thicker Walls
To be able to cope with higher pressure
More collagen
Collagen is a tough, fibrous protein in the arterial walls that makes them strong & durable
Smooth Muscle Cells
Allow them to constrict & dilate
Elastic Fibres
Allow it to stretch & recoil
No Valves
The blood is of a high pressure and constantly being pushed forwards, so there is no need to use valves to prevent backflow
Veins
Wide Lumen
This allows more blood flow at the lower pressure of the veins
Thinner Walls
There is a lower pressure
Less Collagen
They are under lower pressure
Less Smooth Muscle Cells
The veins do not need to be able to stretch and recoil as much
Fewer Elastic Fibres
They are under low pressure so require less elastic fibres
Valves
Prevent backflow due to low pressure
Capillaries
Found in muscles & lungs
Supply oxygen
Take away Carbon Dioxide
Thin walls - 1 cell thick
Access to every cell in the body
Very low blood pressure
The thin walls can't cope with higher pressure
Gas exchange occurs here
Supply substances to every cell in the body
Labelled Heart Diagram
The aorta is an artery that carries oxygenated blood around the body
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs
The left atrium contracts to pump oxygenated blood into the left ventricle
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood into the left atrium
The semi-lunar valves stop backflow of blood from the aorta and pulmonary artery back into the ventricles
The left ventricle contracts to pump oxygenated blood into the aorta
The heart wall has 3 layers:
Epicardium
External layer
Attached to pericardium (membrane surrounding heart)
Thin & transparent
Made of delicate connective tissue
Mycocardium
Middle layer
Responsible for pumping action
Made out of cardiac muscle
Endocardium
Inner layer
Thin layer endothelium
Provide smooth lining for chambers & covers valves
The right ventricle contracts to pump deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary atrtery
The atrioventricular valves (tricuspid/bicuspid) prevent backflow of bloof back into the atria
The inferior vena cava is a vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower region of the body to the right atrium
The right atrium contracts to pump deoxygenated blood into the right ventricle
The superior vena cava is a vein that carries blood from the top region of the body to the right atrium
