Circulation
The circulatory system connects with all body tissues
• In many animals, microscopic blood vessels called capillaries
– Form an intricate network among the tissue
Capillary
Nuclei of smooth muscle cells

Land vertebrates have double circulation with separate pulmonary and systemic circuits
• Birds and mammals have four-chambered hearts

Pulmonary artery External Respiration
At pulmonary capillaries, HCO3– is
converted inside red blood cells to H2O and CO2. CO2 leaves red blood cells
and capillaries.
External Respiration At pulmonary capillaries, O2 enters red
blood cells where it combines with Hb to form HbO2 .
Internal Respiration At systemic capillaries, CO2 enters red
blood cells. Some combine with Hb to form HbCO2. Most is converted to
HCO3–, which is carried in the plasma.
Hb now combines with H+ to form HHb.
Internal Respiration At systemic capillaries, HbO2 inside red blood cells becomes Hb and O2.
O2 leaves red blood cells and capillaries.
The Mammalian Cardiovascular System
• The mammalian heart
– Has two thin-walled atria that pump blood into the ventricles
– Has thick-walled ventricles that pump blood to all other body organs

Blood Flow through the Human Cardiovascular System The structure of blood vessels fits their functions
• A single layer of epithelial cells
– Forms the walls capillaries
• Arteries and veins
– Have smooth muscle and connective tissue

The heart contracts and relaxes rhythmically • During diastole
– Blood flows from the veins into the heart chambers
• During systole
– Contractions of the atria push blood into the ventricles
– Stronger contractions of the ventricles propel blood into the large arteries
A cardiac cycle
Heart is relaxed. AV valves are open.

• Cardiac output
– Is the amount of blood/minute pumped into the systemic circuit
• Heart valves
– Prevent the backflow of blood
The pacemaker sets the tempo of the heartbeat • The pacemaker (SA node) generates electrical
signals that trigger contraction of the atria
• The AV node relays these signals to the ventricles

ECG
• An electrocardiogram (ECG)
– Records the electrical changes in the heart
• Heart rate
– Adjusts to body needs

What is a heart attack? • A heart attack is damage to cardiac muscle
– Usually resulting from a blocked coronary artery

– Plaques develop in the inner walls of arteries and can block blood flow

Blood exerts pressure on vessel walls • Blood pressure
– Is the force blood exerts on vessel walls
– Depends on cardiac output and the resistance of vessels
• Pressure is highest in the arteries
– And lowest in the veins
• Pressure is highest in the arteries
– And lowest in the veins

Measuring blood pressure can reveal cardiovascular problems • Blood pressure
– Is measured as systolic and diastolic pressures
