INTRO TO CVS Flashcards
transport system of body
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
It comprises blood, heart and blood vessels.
The system SUPPLIES NUTRIENTS to and remove waste products from various tissue of body.
The CONVEYING MEDIA is liquid IN FORM OF BLOOD which flows in close tubular system.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Heart pumps blood through
BLOOD VESSELS
_____ transport blood
BLOOD VESSELS
RBC
ERYTHROCYTES
WBC
LEUCOCYTES
the FLUID PORTION of the blood
PLASMA
3 TYPES OF BLOOD CELLS
ERYTHROCYTES
LEUCOCYTES
THROMBOCYTES
a four chambered, hollow muscular organ approximately the size of your fist
HEART
ensure one-way flow
HEART VALVES
Heart separates _____ and _______ circulations
PULMONARY & SYSTEMIC
A closed network of tubes
BLOOD VESSELS
TYPES OF BLOOD VESSELS
ARTERIES
CAPILLARIES
VEINS
- THICK WALLED tubes
- ELASTIC Fibers
- Circular SMOOTH Muscle
ARTERIES
DISTRIBUTING CHANNEL
ARTERIES
- One cell thick
- Serves the RESPIRATORY system
CAPILLARIES
MICROSCOPIC VESSELS
CAPILLARIES
DRAINING CHANNEL
VEINS
- blood vessels that carry blood AWAY from the heart
- they are the THICKEST blood vessels and they carry blood HIGH in oxygen known as OXYGENATED BLOOD (oxygen rich blood)
ARTERIES
smooth muscle cells & elastic fibers
TUNICA MEDIA
collagen fibers
TUNICA ADVENTITIA
endothelium that LINES THE LUMEN of all vessels
TUNICA INTIMA
- Accompanied by vein and nerves
- Lumen is small
- No valves
- Repeated branching
ARTERIES
CLASSIFICATION OF ARTERIES
ELASTIC
MUSCULAR
ARETERIOLES
Aorta & its Major branches
ELASTIC ARTERIES
Renal, Testicular, Radial, Tibial
MUSCULAR ARTERIES
(<0.1 mm)-
Terminal
Meta-
Thoroughfare
channel/ preferred
ARTERIOLES
- the SMALLEST blood vessels and they CONNECT the arteries & veins
- this is where the EXCHANGE OF NUTRIENTS & GASES occurs
CAPILLARIES
2 KINDS OF CAPILLARIES
CONTINUOUS
FENESTRATED
SKIN, LUNG, SMMOTH MUSCLE, CONNECTIVE TISSUES
CONTINUOUS CAPILLARIES
PANCREAS,ENDOCRINE GLANDS, SMALL INTESTINE,CHOROID PLEXUS,CILLIARY PROCESS etc.
FENESTRATED CAPILLARIES
LARGE IRREGULAR vascular space (30-40 micron) eg.Liver, Spleen, Bone marrow, suprarenal, Parathyroid etc.
SINUSOIDS
- Blood vessels that carry blood BACK TO THE HEART
- They have ONE-WAY VALVES which prevent blood from flowing backwards.
- They carry blood that is HIGH IN CARBON DIOXIDE known as DEOXYGENATED BLOOD (oxygen poor blood).
VEINS
- Thin Walled
- Large irregular lumen
- Have valves
- Dead space around
- Types:
Large
Medium
Small
VEINS
➢ SVC & IVC
➢ Hepatic, Renal
➢ Uterine, Ovarian not Testicular
➢ Facial
➢ Pulmonary
➢ Umbilical
➢ Emissary
➢ Portal Veins <2mm
VEINS W/O VALVES
➢ Dural venous sinuses
➢ Pial Veins
➢ Retinal
➢ Veins of erectile tissue of sex organs
➢ Veins of spongy bones
VEINS W/O MUSCULAR TISSUE
Communication between vessels
ANASTOMOSIS
Palmar, plantar, Circle of Willis, Labial Intestinal arcade, etc
Actual (end to end & convergent)
Coronary, around joints etc.
POTENTIAL
- Central artery of retina
- Arteries of spleen, liver, kidneys, metaphyses of long bones
- Central branches of cerebral cortex
END ARTERIES
the circulation of blood WITHIN the heart
CORONARY CIRCULATION
the flow of blood between the HEART & LUNGS
PULMONARY CIRCULATION
the flow of blood between the HEART & CELLS of the body.
SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
the flow of blood between TOW SET OF CAPILLARIES before draining in systemic veins
PORTAL CIRCULATION
