Parts of the Circulatory SystemThe circulatory System is divided
into three major parts:The Heart The Blood The Blood Vessels

Major ComponentsMajor Components
Heart – Continuously circulates blood
Network of tubes– Arteries- blood away from heart– Veins- blood back to the heart– Capillaries
Blood– Fluid that fills the circulatory system
![Page 7: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Arteries– Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich
blood AWAY from the heart.
• Capillaries– Capillaries are tiny blood vessels .– Capillaries connect arteries to veins.
Veins– Veins carry blood back toward your heart.
The vascular system is made up of three types of blood vessels:

Blood Vessels
![Page 9: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In mammals and birds, the heart is divided into a right and left side and each side is divided into an atrium and ventricle.
Therefore, the heart is said to have four chambers (right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle).
![Page 10: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The atrioventricular valves (AV valve) separate the atrium and ventricle on each side of the heart.
The AV valves have flaps of tissues, called leaflets or cusps, which open and close to ensure that the blood flows only in one direction and does not backflow into the atriums.
![Page 11: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The AV valve on the right side of the heart is called the tr icuspid valve because it has three leaflets (cusps).
The AV valve on the left side of the heart is called the bicuspid valve (or mitral valve) because it has two leaflets.
![Page 12: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The pulmonary valve and the aortic valve prevent blood from back-flowing into their respective ventricles.
The pulmonary valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aortic artery.
![Page 13: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pulmonary Circulation System
Red portion of heart and red blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood.
Blue portion of heart and blue blood vessels carry oxygen-poor blood.
![Page 14: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Blood that is low in oxygen returns to the heart through two large veins called the superior (or cranial) vena cava and the inferior (or caudal) vena cava.
The un-oxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart.
Flow of Blood in Pulmonary Circulation
![Page 15: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The blood then passes through the right atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve into the right ventricle.
The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.
![Page 16: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The pulmonary artery quickly divides into two branches.
Each branch of the pulmonary artery carries blood to a lung.
In the lungs the pulmonary arteries branch into capil laries that surround the alveoli .
![Page 17: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Through diffusion, carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli and oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood.
The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium.
![Page 18: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
From the left atrium, the blood flows through the left atrioventricular (bicuspid) valve into the left ventricle. The thick-walled left ventricle pumps the blood through the aortic valve into the aorta.
![Page 19: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The amount of pressure that is required for pulmonary circulation is much less than what is required for systemic circulation.
Therefore, the muscle mass developed in the right ventricle is much less that of the left ventricle.

Plasma, which makes up 50 – 65% of the total volume of blood, is a straw-colored liquid containing water (90%) and solids (10%).
The solids in plasma include inorganic salts and organic substances such as antibodies, hormones, vitamins, enzymes, proteins, and glucose (blood sugar).
![Page 22: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The non-plasma, or cellular, portion of blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

![Page 23: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Red blood cells, called erythrocytes, are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to various body tissues.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which gives them their characteristic red color and helps them carry the oxygen.
![Page 24: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Anemia is a condition caused by low levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
Anemia can be caused by the following:• Loss of blood due to injury,
• Infestations of blood-sucking parasites, or
• Low levels of red cell production due to poor nutrition.
![Page 25: 13. circulatory system copy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/55961b7f1a28ab89018b4575/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Blood platelets, or thrombocytes, are oval-shaped discs that are formed in the bone marrow.
Blood platelets help prevent blood loss from injuries to blood vessels by forming clots (white thrombus).
