Human Physiology(circulatory system)

Circulatory system :
The human circulatory system demonstrates the
organisational complexity of the human. It is
made up of a number of different tissues
organised into organs such as the heart, arteries,
arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins.
DLB 3
Open versus closed circulatory
systems: Open Circulatory System: blood is
pumped from a simple heart and flows out of
blood vessels and around tissue cells of the
organism, e.g. invertebrates, such as insects. The
blood is then returned to the heart via small
pores called ostia.
4
Closed Circulatory System: blood flows around the body enclosed in blood
vessels and does not leaves the blood vessels, e.g. human.
Structure of the human circulatory system
The human circulatory system consists of: Blood vessels,
Heart, Blood
Blood vessels: Arteries: blood vessels that carry blood away
from the heart in pulses. It has a thick wall and small lumen.
The thick wall of arteries contains a tough outer layer of
collagen that gives strength to the artery that supports the
pressure the blood is under from the heart.
DLB 8
It also contains a layer of smooth (involuntary) muscle that contracts pushing blood
along. The internal layer of the artery is composed of a layer of cells called the
endothelium.
Veins: blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart in an even flow. They have thin
walls, a large lumen and valves.
Blood pressure in veins is much lower than arteries, hence the thinner wall. They
also have smooth muscle to push blood along in one direction and have valves to prevent
back flow of blood.
DLB 11
Capillaries: blood vessels with walls one cell thick that carries blood from arterioles to
venules through tissues, releasing nutrients and taking away wastes.
Systemic and pulmonary circuits
The human circulatory system consists of two blood circuits: the
systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit. This is why the human
circulatory system is described as a double circulatory system.
The systemic circuit carries blood to all the major organs of the body,
except the lungs.
The lungs have their own blood circuit, called the pulmonary circuit.
The diagram below shows all the arteries and veins emanating from,
and returning to, the heart and internal organs.
DLB 14
Structure of the heart.
Aorta: largest artery in the body carrying oxygenated blood away
from the left side of the heart to all the major organs of the body
(except the lungs).
Pulmonary artery: carries deoxygenated blood away from the
right side of the heart to the lungs to excrete carbon dioxide and
absorb more oxygen.
Pulmonary vein: carries oxygenated blood towards the right hand
side of the heart from the lungs.
Left atrium: upper left chamber of the heart that receives blood
from the lungs and contracts pumping blood into the left ventricle.
DLB 18
Inferior vena cava: carries deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the
body back to the heart.
Tricuspid valve: allows one-way flow of blood from the right atrium to the
right ventricle - preventing back-flow of blood.
Right atrium: upper right chamber of the heart that receives blood from the
vena cavae and contracts pumping blood into the right ventricle.
Superior vena cava: carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the
body back to the heart.
Semilunar valves: allow one-way flow of blood out of the heart - prevent
back-flow of blood into the heart.
DLB 20
Pulse and blood pressure
Pulse: alternate contraction and relaxation of an artery as blood passes
through.
Blood pressure: force blood exerts on the walls of blood vessels. Blood
pressure is measured as two values: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg, where mmHg stands for millimetres
of mercury. Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer. Effects
of smoking, diet and exercise on the circulatory system
Smoking: Cigarettes contain many addictive chemicals, of which the most
important is nicotine.
Nicotine raises heart rate and blood pressure putting a strain on the
circulatory system.
DLB 23
Diet: A diet high in saturated fats increases blood pressure and the risk of atherosclerosis
(or hardening of the arteries).
Salt in the diet also raises blood pressure by increasing thirst and water intake.
Exercise: Exercise stimulates a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
It strengthens the heart and promotes healthy blood vessels.
12. HEART RATE AND CARDIAC OUTAPUT
The heart beats about 72 times per minute, i.e., these many cardiac
cycles occur in a minute.
So it could be deduced that the duration of one cardiac cycle is
about 0.8 seconds.
The volume of blood pumped by each ventricle during a cardiac
cycle, is called stroke volume, its is about 70 ml.
The cardiac output refers to the volume of blood pumped out by
each ventricle in a minute, i.e., stroke volume multiplied by number
of cardiac cycles in a minute, which is 70 ml x 72 approximately 5000
ml or 5 litres.
The cardiac output of athletes is much higher than normal people.
DLB 25
13. ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (ECG)
Electrocardiogram is the graphic record of the electrical potential
differences produced by the excitation of heart muscles as a function
of time.
Electrocardiograph is the machine used to monitor the heart
function. To obtain a standard ECG, the patient is connected to the
machine with three electrical leads, one in each of the wrists and one
to the left ankle, that monitor the heart function.
. By counting the number of QRS complexes formed in a given time
period, one can determine the rate of heart beat of an individual.
Since normal ECG has a fixed pattern, any deviation from it
indicates an abnormality or disorder in the heart functioning.
DLB 26
15. REGULATION OF CARDIAC ACTIVITY
The normal functioning of heart is auto regulated, i.e.,
regulated intrinsically by specialized nodal muscles; hence
the heart is described as myogenic.
A special nerve centre in the medulla oblongata can moderate
the cardiac activity through autonomic nervous system
(ANS).
Hormones of adrenal medulla (adrenaline and
noradrenaline) also increase the heart beat rate and cardiac
output.

DLB 27
16. LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Lymphatic system includes the fluid, lymph. lymphocytes and lymph
vessels.
A. Lymph
– As blood is flowing with pressure in the arteries, some water and
dissolved materials seep out into the tissue spaces; this fluid is called
interstitial fluid.
– The part of the interstitial fluid that enters the lymph channels, is
called the lymph.
– Lymph has a composition similar to that of plasma, except that it
has less proteins, as the capillary wall is not permeable to the large
plasma proteins; lymph also has lymphocytes, a type of
agranulocytes.
DLB 28
B. Circulation of Lymph
– Fine channels arising from the tissue spaces, into which a portion
of the interstitial fluid flows, are the lymph vessels.
– The lymph vessels join and ultimately open into the venous blood
system and reach the heart.

DLB 29
C. Functions
– It acts as the medium for exchange of gases, nutrients, etc. between
the blood and tissue cells.
– It acts as an accessory route for the flow of interstitial fluid into
the blood.
– The lymphocytes play an important role in the immune system. - It
takes the larger biomolecules into blood for circulation.

DLB 30
17. DISRDERS OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
A. Hypertension
– It is commonly known as high blood pressure, to indicate a blood
pressure that is higher than the normal, i.e., 120/80 mm Hg.
– A sustained high blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg or higher, is
called hypertension. - It leads to heart diseases and affects the
functioning of vital organs like kidney and brain.

DLB 31
B. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
– It is a disorder which affects the blood vessels (coronary arteries)
that supply blood to the heart muscles. Atherosclerosis is a form of
CAD, which. is caused by the deposition of cholesterol on the wall
lining the lumen of blood vessels.
It makes the lumen narrow and reduces the blood flow to the heart.
– When the cholesterol deposits on the wall of blood vessels become
calcified and hardened, the condition is called arteriosclerosis; such
blood vessels lose their elasticity and become stiff, apart from having
narrow lumen.

DLB 32
C. Angina pectoris
– It is commonly called angina and occurs due to any condition that
affects the blood flow to the heart muscle.
– Due to this, cnough of oxygen is not supplied to the heart muscle
and a symptom of acute chest pain appears.
– It can occur in men and women of any age.

DLB 33
D. Heart Failure
– It is the condition or state of the heart when it cannot pump
sufficient blood to meet the needs of the body.
– More often the cause for this condition is congestion of lungs;
hence it is called congestive heart failure.
– Heart failure is different from cardiac arrest, where the heart
stops beating and heart attack, where the heart muscle is damaged
suddenly due to insufficient blood supply.
