COMPONENTS OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
HEART- muscular pump, moves blood throughout body
ARTERIES- carries blood away from the heart
VEINS- carries blood towards the heart
MYOCARDIUM
- cardiac muscle
- thickest layer of heart tissue
- involuntary striated muscle
- wraps around chambers of heart
MEDIASTINUM
area in chest cavity between the right and left lungs where the heart lives
PERICARDIUM
tough fibrous sac that holds and protects the heart
2 LAYERS OF PERICARDIUM
FIBROUS- outermost layer of pericardium. tough, fibrous connective tissue. loosely attaches heart to diaphragm
SEROUS PERICARDIUM-intermost layer of pericardium
2 layers
parietal layer-outer layer of serous pericardium
visceral layer- innermost layer of serous pericardium
EPICARDIUM
- innermost layer of serous pericardium
- adhered directly to cardiac muscle (outside of heart)
PERICARDIAL FLUID
- between serous pericardium layers
- provides lubrication
- allows heart to expand and contract smoothly
FOUR CHAMBERS OF THE HEART
R AND L ATRIA- upper chambers
R AND L VENTRICLES- lower chambers
HEART VALVES
prevent blood from flowing backwards
- between R and L atria and ventricles
- between ventricles and major vessels leading out of ventricles
PARTS OF HEART VALVES
CUSPS- flaps that make up valves (most have 2-3)
CHORDAE TENDINAE- threadlike cords, attach free end of valve to muscle wall of ventricle
R. ATRIOVENTRICULAR (AV) VALVE
- between R atrium and R ventricle
- 3 cusps
- tricuspid valve
PULMONARY VALVE
-between R ventricle and pulmonary artery leading to lungs
LEFT ATRIOVENTRICULAR (AV) VALVE
- 2 cusps
- bicuspid or mitral valve
AORTIC VALVE
-between left ventricle and aorta
L A M B
L- Left
A- Atrioventricular valve
M- Mitral
B- Bicuspid
R A T
R- Right
A- Atrioventricular Valve
T- Tricuspid
CRANIAL VENA CAVAE/ CAUDAL VENAE CAVAE
-enter R atrium of heart
-bring blood from body back to heart
CRANIAL(SUPERIOR)- blood from upper body
CAUDAL(INFERIOR)- blood from lower body
PULMONARY ARTERY
-carries blood from R. ventricle to lungs
PULMONARY VEINS
carry blood from right and left lungs back to L atrium of heart
AORTA
- carries blood from left ventricle out to rest of body
- LARGEST in the body
RIGHT SIDE OF HEART
- carries blood LOW in oxygen, HIGH in carbon dioxide
- receives blood from body, sends it to lungs
- less muscle mass than L side
LEFT SIDE OF THE HEART
- carries blood HIGH in oxygen, LOW in carbon dioxide
- receives blood from lungs and sends it out to the body
- thick and muscular!
CARDIAC CYCLE
-each complete beat (contraction and relaxation) of the heart
2 main components
-SYSTOLE- contraction
-DIASTOLE- relaxation
NORMAL HEART SOUNDS
LUB BUB
LUB- closure of R and L AV valves at beginning of ventricular systole
DUB- closure of aortic and pulmonic valves
CARDIAC OUTPUT=
STROKE VOLUME X HEART RATE
stroke volume- amount of blood heart ejects with each contraction
heart rate- # of times heart completes a cardiac cycle in a set amount of time (beats per minute)
STERLING’S LAW
increased filling of heart with blood results in increased force of cardiac contraction and increased stroke volume
SINOATRIAL (SA) NODE
- provides impulse for heart to beat!
- specialized area of cardiac muscle cells
- R. atrium
- pacemaker of heart
- automatically generates electrical impulses
ATRIOVENTRICULAR (AV) NODE
-only route for electrical impulse to travel from atria down to ventricles
BUNDLE OF HIS
- after impulse reaches AV Node..travels here
- specialized fibers in interventricular septum (wall between R and L ventricles)
- carries impulse to bottom (apex) of heart
PURKINJE FIBERS
- from bundle of his to here
- carry impulses up ventricular myocardium
- impulse spreads from cell to cell in R and L ventricles
- Ventricles then contract!!!
COMPLETE PATH OF ELECTRICAL IMPULSE
- SA NODE
- myocardial cells of R and L ATRIA
- R and L ATRIA contract
- AV NODE
- BUNDLE OF HIS
- PURKINJE FIBER
CAPILLARIES
- smallest vessels in the body
- no smooth muscle
- allows body cells to exchange nutrients, oxygen, etc., with blood cells
VASCULAR BLOOD FLOW
AORTA
ARTERIES
CRANIAL/CAUDAL VENA CAVA
AORTA
-leaves heart and travels through chest and abdomen
SUBCLAVIAN ARTERIES
-branch off aorta and travel toward thoracic limbs
CAROTID ARTERIES
branch off one or both subclavian arteries
-travels up sides of neck
ILIAC ARTERIES
main trunk of aorta splits at hind limbs
FEMORAL ARTERIES
pelvic limbs
COCCYGEAL ARTERY
emerges at caudal aorta- TAIL
WHERE DO YOU FEEL FOR A PULSE?
ARTERIES
-closer to heart, feel it pumping
WHERE DO YOU OBTAIN A BLOOD SAMPLE?
VENIPUNCTURE
- Cephalic Vein of forelimb (between elbow and carpus)
- Femoral Vein of hind limb (medial surface of thigh)
- Saphenous Vein (lateral aspect of hindlimb, dogs)

RES SYSTEM WORKS DIRECTLY WITH…
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

VOICE PRODUCTION (FUNCTION OF LARYNX)
- VOCAL CORDS- 2 connective tissue bands attached to arytenoid cartilages
- vocal cords vibrate as air passes over them
- muscles attached to arytenoid cartilages control tension of vocal cords
MORE FUNCTIONS OF LARYNX
- Prevention of foreign material being inhaled- fold epiglottis back over opening when swllowing
- Control airflow to and from the lungs- small adjustments in size of glottis and movement of air
TRACHEA
