THREE CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS - overall there are 3 circulatory systems in your body 1) Systemic - delivers blood between the heart and body cells 2) Pulmonary - blood goes to the lungs to be oxygenated - delivers blood between the heart and the lungs 3) Cardiac - circulation of blood in the heart

The Heart CARDIAC CIRCULATION

the mammalian heart is a double pump, separated by a wall of muscles called a septum each side of the heart is divided into two chambers: an upper atrium and a lower ventricle (four chambers in total) it is used to push blood through the body and provides a connection between our pulmonary and systemic circulatory systems it is supplied by blood via the coronary arteries (come off main aorta)

Heart Sounds: lubb-dubb caused by the closing of the heart valves 1) Diastole - relaxation of the ventricles, atria fill with blood 2) Systole - contraction of the ventricles, atrioventricular valves close (lubb) and blood is pushed through the semilunar valves, as semilunar valves close you get the dubb (if valves don’t close properly, esp. the bicuspid (left), you get a murmur (soft gurgling as blood comes back to the atrium from the ventricle

SETTING THE HEART’S TEMPO the heart’s tempo or beat rate is set by the sinoatrial (SA) node –located where the venae cavae enter the right atrium –acts as a pacemaker, setting a rhythm to ~70 beats per minute –from the SA node the contractions travel to the atrioventricular (AV) node, which sends the contractions through to the walls of the heart, causing the atria to contract first, and then the ventricles (using Purkinje fibers) seen on an ECG, p.260, dead tissue doesn’t conduct electrical signals well to you can see where the problem is

Purkinje fibers - carry the signal from the AV node to the bottom tip of the heart, allowing the ventricles to contract simultaneously

seen on an ECG, dead tissue doesn’t conduct electrical signals well to you can see where the problem is

OVERALL CARDIAC CIRCULATION - deoxygenated blood is collected from your upper body through the superior vena cava from your lower body through the inferior vena cava right atrium (through atrioventricular tricuspid valve) right ventricle (through semilunar valve) right pulmonary artery left pulmonary artery

right lung left lung capillaries -> CO2 exchanged for O2 through simple diffusion pulmonary veins left atrium (through atrioventricular bicuspid valve) left ventricle (through semilunar valve) aorta arteries arterioles veins venules capillaries (O 2 is dropped off, CO 2 is picked up)
