CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM • Principles • Structures • Two circuits – Pulmonary – Systemic
• Fetal Circulation • Heart Details • Other details Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
What Does CV System do? • Circulate blood throughout entire body for
– Transport of oxygen to cells – Transport of CO2 away from cells – Transport of nutrients (glucose) to cells – Movement of immune system components (cells, antibodies) – Transport of endocrine gland secretions
Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
How does it do it? • Heart is pump • Arteries and veins are main tubes (plumbing) – Arteries Away from Heart – Veins to Heart
• Diffusion happens in capillaries (oxygen, CO2, glucose diffuse in or out of blood)
Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Overall Organization of System • Heart/Great Vessels 1 Route • Smaller aa. vv.many routes (collateral circulation) • Capillaries—network where diffusion occurs Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Collateral Circulation
Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Walls of Arteries and Veins • Tunica externa
– Outermost layer – CT w/elastin and collagen – Strengthens, Anchors
• Tunica media
– Middle layer – Circular Smooth Muscle – Vasoconstriction/dilation
• Tunica intima
– Innermost layer – Endothelium – Minimize friction
• Lumen

Capillaries • Microscopicone cell layer thick • Network • Bathed in extracellular matrix of areolar tissue • Entire goal of CV system is to get blood into capillaries where diffusion takes place

Heart Chambers and Valves
Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Right Heart Chambers: Pulmonary Circuit • Right Atrium (forms most of posterior of heart) – Receives O2poor blood from body via IVC, SVC, Coronary sinus – Ventral wall = rough Pectinate muscle – Fossa Ovalis on interatrial septum, remnant of Foramen Ovale
• Right Ventricle – Receives O2poor blood from right atrium through tricuspid valve – Pumps blood to lungs via Pulmonary Semilunar Valve in pulmonary trunk – Trabeculae Carnae along ventral surface – Papillary Muscleconeshaped muscle to which chordae tendinae
are anchored
Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Left Heart Chambers: Systemic Circuit • Left Atrium
– Receives O2rich blood from 4 Pulmonary Veins – Pectinate Muscles line only auricle
• Left Ventricle (forms apex of heart)
– Receives blood from Left Atrium via bicuspid valve – Pumps blood into aorta via Aortic Semilunar Valve to body – Same structures as Rt Ventricle: Trabeculae carnae, Papillary muscles, Chordae tendinae – No Moderator Band
Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Heart Valves: Lub*Dub** • *Tricuspid Valve: Right AV valve – 3 Cusps (flaps) made of endocardium and CT – Cusps anchored in Rt. Ventricle by Chordae Tendinae – Chordae Tendinae prevent inversion of cusps into atrium – Flow of blood pushes cusps open – When ventricle in diastole (relaxed), cusps hang limp in ventricle – Ventricular contraction increases pressure and forces cusps closed
• *Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve: Left AV valve – 2 cusps anchored in Lft. Ventricle by chordae tendinae – Functions same as Rt. AV valve
• **Semilunar valves: prevents backflow in large arteries – Pulmonary Semilunar Valve: Rt Ventricle and Pulmonary Trunk – Aortic Semilunar Valve: Left Ventricle and Aorta

Location of Heart in Chest • • • • • • •
Oblique Position Apex = Left of Midline (5th ICS), Anterior to rest of heart Base (posterior surface) sits on vertebral column Superior Right = 3rd Costal Cartilage, 1” right midsternum Superior Left = 2nd Costal Cartilage, 1” left midsternum Inferior Right = 6th Costal Cartilage, 1” right midsternum Inferior Left = 5th Intercostal Space at Midclavicular line
Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
• Epicardium (most superficial) – Visceral pleura Heart Wall • Myocardium (middle layer) – Cardiac muscle – Contracts
• Endocardium (inner) – Endothelium on CT – Lines the heart – Creates the valves
How does heart muscle get blood supply?
pg 524 Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Blood supply to heart wall • Rt and Lft Coronary Arteries – – – –
Branch from Ascending Aorta Have multiple branches along heart Sit in Coronary Sulcus Coronary Heart Disease
• Cardiac Veins
– Coronary Sinus (largest) – Many branches feed into sinus – Sit in Coronary Sulcus

Heart Innervation
• Heart receives visceral motor innervation
– Sympathetic (speeds up) – Parasympathetic (slows down) p. 534

Lymphatic System…The Players: • Lymph clear fluid from loose areolar CT around capillaries • Lymphatic capillaries (near blood capillaries) • Lymph collecting vessels (small, 3 tunicas, valves) • Lymph nodes (sit along collecting vessels)clean lymph of pathogens, they are NOT glands • Lymphatic trunks (convergence large collecting vessels)
– Lumbar, intestinal, bronchomediastinal, subclavian, jugular
• Lymphatic ducts empty into veins of neck Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D.,Human Anatomy
Lymphatic SystemFunction • Function: to collect excess tissue fluid collecting at arteriole end and return leaked blood proteins to blood (maintain osmotic pressure needed to take up water into bloodstream) • Lymph moved through vessels – – – –
Pulse of nearby arteries Contraction of surrounding skeletal muscle Regular movement of body (wiggling legs) Muscle in Tunica Media
• Lactealslymphatic capillaries w/unique function
– In mucosa of small intestine, receive digested fat from intestine – Fatty lymph becomes milky = Chyle – Chyle goes to bloodstream
