PART A
The Cardiovascular
System

The Cardiovascular System
 A closed system of the heart and blood
vessels
 The heart pumps blood
 Blood vessels allow blood to circulate to
all parts of the body
 The function of the cardiovascular system is
to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove
carbon dioxide and other waste products

The Heart
 Location
 Thorax between the lungs
 Pointed apex directed toward left hip
 About the size of your fist

The Heart
Figure 11.1

The Heart: Coverings
 Pericardium – a double serous membrane
 Visceral pericardium
 Next to heart
 Parietal pericardium
 Outside layer
 Serous fluid fills the space between the layers
of pericardium

The Heart: Heart Wall
 Three layers
 Epicardium
 Outside layer
 This layer is the parietal pericardium
 Connective tissue layer
 Myocardium
 Middle layer
 Mostly cardiac muscle
 Endocardium
 Inner layer
 Endothelium

External Heart Anatomy

The Heart: Chambers
 Right and left side act as separate pumps
 Four chambers
 Atria
 Receiving chambers
 Right atrium
 Left atrium
 Ventricles
 Discharging chambers
 Right ventricle
 Left ventricle
Figure 11.2c

Blood Circulation
Figure 11.3

The Heart: Valves
 Allow blood to flow in only one direction
 Four valves
 Atrioventricular valves – between atria and
ventricles
 Bicuspid valve (left)
 Tricuspid valve (right)
 Semilunar valves between ventricle and artery
 Pulmonary semilunar valve
 Aortic semilunar valve

The Heart: Valves
 Valves open as blood is pumped through
 Held in place by chordae tendineae (“heart
strings”)
 Close to prevent backflow

Operation of Heart Valves
Figure 11.4

The Heart: Associated Great Vessels
 Aorta
 Leaves left ventricle
 Pulmonary arteries
 Leave right ventricle
 Vena cava
 Enters right atrium
 Pulmonary veins (four)
 Enter left atrium

Coronary Circulation
 Blood in the heart chambers does not nourish
the myocardium
 The heart has its own nourishing circulatory
system
 Coronary arteries
 Cardiac veins
 Blood empties into the right atrium via the
coronary sinus

The Heart: Conduction System
 Intrinsic conduction system
(nodal system)
 Heart muscle cells contract, without nerve
impulses, in a regular, continuous way

The Heart: Conduction System
 Special tissue sets the pace
 Sinoatrial node
 Pacemaker
 Atrioventricular node
 Atrioventricular bundle
 Bundle branches
 Purkinje fibers

Heart Contractions
 Contraction is initiated by the sinoatrial node
 Sequential stimulation occurs at other
autorhythmic cells

Heart Contractions
Figure 11.5

Filling of Heart Chambers – the Cardiac
Cycle
Figure 11.6

The Heart: Cardiac Cycle
 Atria contract simultaneously
 Atria relax, then ventricles contract
 Systole = contraction
 Diastole = relaxation

The Heart: Cardiac Cycle
 Cardiac cycle – events of one complete heart
beat
 Mid-to-late diastole – blood flows into
ventricles
 Ventricular systole – blood pressure builds
before ventricle contracts, pushing out
blood
 Early diastole – atria finish re-filling,
ventricular pressure is low

The Heart: Cardiac Output
 Cardiac output (CO)
 Amount of blood pumped by each side of
the heart in one minute
 CO = (heart rate [HR]) x (stroke volume
[SV])
 Stroke volume
 Volume of blood pumped by each
ventricle in one contraction

Cardiac Output Regulation
