blood and lymph- circulatory system Flashcards
key functions of circulatory system
- uniterupted and continuous movement of blood
- delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell
- remove wastes materials
components of circulatory system
capillaries
veins
arteries
body tissue
structural features of blood vessels
endothelium= lines inside of the vessels
elastic lamina= allow for stretching and rebound
lumen= where blood flows
valves= prevent backflow
smooth muscles
artery
- thick muscular wall with elastic tissue
- capable of construction
- small lumen relative 2 diameter
- moves blood in pulses
- under high pressure
- blood flows rapidly
- NOT PERMEABLE
artery
- thick muscular wall with elastic tissue
- capable of construction
- small lumen relative 2 diameter
- moves blood in pulses
- under high pressure
- blood flows rapidly
- NOT PERMEABLE
capillary
- no muscle or elastic tissue
- not capable of constriction
- large lumen relative to diameter
- permeable
- blood pressie reduces thur network
- flow is slow and non pulsatile
- endothelium cell surround lumen
vein
- thin muscular wall with little elastic tissue
- not capable of constriction
- large lumen relative to diameter
- not permeable
- have valves throughout
- blood flows slowly under low pressure with no pulses
pattern of circulation in adults
- 2 circulatory paths
- PUMLONARY= oxygenated in the lungs
- SYSTEMIC= provides oxygenated blood to body
pattern of circulation in adults (pulmonary)
blood is OXYGENATED in LUNGS
PULMONARY ARTERIES CARRY DEOXYGENATED BLOOD WHILE PULMONARY VEINS CARRY OXYGENATED BLOOD
deoxy= pulmonary artery run thru right atrium n ventricle
oxy= pulmonary vein run thru left atrium n ventricle
pattern of circulation in adults (systemic)
provides oxy blood to body
IVC-> R.A-> R.V-> PULOM ART-> CAP F LEFT LUNG (becomes oxygenated)-> PULMONARY VEIN-> L.A-> LV-> AORTA (as and de)-> cap-> SVC
as: cap in head, arm n chest
de: cap in abdominal region n legs
hepatic portal circulation
- liver receive oxy blood from hepatic artery and deoxy blood leaves in hepatic vein
- stomach and intestines receive oxy blood from gastric and mesenteric arteries
- hepatic portal veins go from stomach and intestines to liver and send deoxy blood rich in nutrients
