Objectives
• At the completion of this unit, learners will be
able to:
1. Define blood and list its functions
2. Describe the composition, sites of production and
functions of cellular parts of blood and plasma
3. Briefly explain the ABO blood groups & Rh factor.
4. Explain the structure and function of:
 Arteries
 Veins &
 Capillaries
Conti…..
5. Describe the location, structure and functions of the
heart and its great blood vessels.
6. Discuss the blood flow through the heart
7. Describe the structure and functional features of the
conducting system of the heart.
8. Describe the principle events of a cardiac cycle.
9. Describe the following types of blood circulation:
 Pulmonary circulation
 Systemic circulation (coronary & hepatic portal circulation).
 The circulatory system carries blood and dissolved
substances to and from different places in the body.
 The Heart has the job of pumping these things around
the body.
 The Heart pumps blood and substances around the
body in tubes called blood vessels.
 The Heart and blood vessels together make up the
Circulatory System.
What is the circulatory system?
lungs
head & arms
liver
digestive system
kidneys
legs
pulmonary artery
aorta
pulmonary vein
main vein
Left
Right
How does this system work?
Circulatory System
Lungs
Body cells
Our circulatory system is a double circulatory system.
This means it has two parts parts.
the right side of
the system
deals with
deoxygenated
blood.
the left side of
the system
deals with
oxygenated
blood.
The Heart
These are arteries.
They carry blood
away from the heart.
This is a vein. It brings
blood from the body,
except the lungs.
Coronary arteries,
the hearts own
blood supply
The heart has four chambers
2 atria
2 ventricles
now lets look inside the heart
The Heart
Left Ventricle
Left Atrium
Right Atrium
Right Ventricle
valve
Vein from Lungs
Artery to Head and Body
Artery to Lungs
Vein from Head and Body
valve
How does the Heart work?
blood from the
body
blood from
the lungs
The heart beat begins when the
heart muscles relax and blood
flows into the atria.
STEP ONE
The atria then contract and
the valves open to allow blood
into the ventricles.
How does the Heart work?
STEP TWO
How does the Heart work?
The valves close to stop blood
flowing backwards.
The ventricles contract forcing
the blood to leave the heart.
At the same time, the atria are
relaxing and once again filling with
blood.
The cycle then repeats itself.
STEP THREE
blood from the heart gets around
the body through blood vessels
There are 3 types of blood vessels
a. ARTERY
b. VEIN
c. CAPILLARY
The ARTERY
thick muscle and
elastic fibres
Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
the elastic fibres allow
the artery to stretch
under pressure
the thick muscle can
contract to push the
blood along.
The VEIN
Veins carry blood towards from the heart.
thin muscle and
elastic fibres
veins have valves
which act to stop the
blood from going in
the wrong direction.
body muscles surround the veins
so that when they contract to
move the body, they also squeeze
the veins and push the blood along
the vessel.
The CAPILLARY
Capillaries link Arteries with Veins
the wall of a capillary
is only one cell thick
they exchange materials
between the blood and
other body cells.
The exchange of materials
between the blood and the
body can only occur through
capillaries.
artery vein
capillaries
body cell
The CAPILLARY
A collection of capillaries is known as a capillary bed
capillary bed.
what’s in
red blood cells white blood cells
platelets
plasma
carbon dioxide
digested food
waste (urea)
hormones
oxygen
The Blood
plasma
red blood cell white blood cell
platelets
Red Blood Cells
contain haemoglobin, a
molecule specially designed
to hold oxygen and carry it
to cells that need it.
can change shape to an
amazing extent, without
breaking, as it squeezes
single file through the
capillaries.
a biconcave disc that is
round and flat without a
nucleus
White Blood Cells
there are many different types and
all contain a big nucleus.
the two main ones are the
lymphocytes and the macrophages.
some lymphocytes fight disease by making antibodies to destroy
invaders by dissolving them.
other lymphocytes make antitoxins to break down poisons.
macrophages ‘eat’ and digest micro-
organisms .
Platelets
Platelets are bits of cell
broken off larger cells.
Platelets produce
tiny fibrinogen
fibres to form a net.
This net traps other
blood cells to form a
blood clot.
Plasma
A straw-
coloured
liquid that
carries the
cells and the
platelets
which help
blood clot.
• carbon dioxide
• glucose
• amino acids
• proteins
• minerals
• vitamins
• hormones
• waste materials
like urea.
It also contains useful
things like;
