The next organ system we will be considering can be known by two names…..
Blood system Circulatory system
The circulatory system is made of two parts:
1. The heart2. The blood vessels
How are substances transported in our bodies?
![Page 3: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
One of the substances that the circulatory system transports are respiratory gases.
For example, the oxygen that the body needs, must be taken to the cells and the carbon dioxide waste gas must be taken away from the cells.
What we use in the air
![Page 4: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
As these gases are carried by the blood, it means that in terms of the presence of gas, we have two types of blood.
blood low in oxygen
deoxygenated
blood high in oxygen
oxygenated
At all times these two types of blood cannot mix. Why do you think this is?
Dissolved gases in blood

This section of the system including the right side of the heart, deals with the deoxygenated blood.
This section of the system including the left side of the heart, deals with the oxygenated blood.
Lungs
Body cells
Because of this our circulatory system is in two parts. It is in fact called a double circulatory system.

The human circulatory system
![Page 7: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In this unit we are going to focus on the heart..
This is the pump at the centre of the circulatory system.
Not all living organisms have hearts. Also, the shape of the heart can change, depending on what species you look at.
The Heart
The heart: structure and function
![Page 8: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The heart is made almost entirely of muscle. It is unlike any other muscle in your body because it never tires. And even though it is full of blood it still needs it own blood supply. Oxygenated blood is carried to the heart by the coronary arteries.
Each side of the heart has two chambers.
1. An top chamber or atrium and2. A bottom chamber or ventricle
Each of these chambers has its own function. Look at the diagram on the next slide to see what that is.
One big muscle

Diagrammatical representation
![Page 10: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Besides the chambers there is also another very important part of the heart – the valves.
These valves are found between the top and bottom chambers on both sides of the heart.
blood
valve
These valves are rather like doors that only open in one direction.
The valves: structure and function
![Page 11: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
As the atrium fills with blood, the valves are closed.
When the atrium contracts and squeeze the blood, the valves are pushed open.
These valves are connected to the side wall of the heart by tough tendons.
These tendons allow the valves to close but not invert.
Valves in action
![Page 12: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
valve
tendon
wall of ventricle
These tendons can be compared to an arm holding onto the handle of a door.
Tendon holding a valve
![Page 13: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The arm bends as the door is opened.
When the door is closed the arm is fully extended.
It would be impossible for the door to open in the other direction without the person moving with it.
The tendon (represented by the arm) is held in a fixed position and therefore the valve (door) can only open in one direction.
Analogy of a valve
![Page 14: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The blood will naturally push against the valve.
However, the valves remain firmly shut.
In this way, the blood can be moved from chamber to chamber quite efficiently.
The valves prevent the blood from moving in the wrong direction.
Preventing backflow
![Page 15: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
we also find valves here ...and here!
These extra valves stop the blood from re-entering the heart when it is pumped from the ventricles.
More valves

When the blood knocks against the second set of heart valves, it makes a ‘dub’ like sound.
valve
ventricle
artery The blood ‘slaps’ against the valve and then passes along the artery.
These two sounds – lub and dub – are actually what we hear as our heartbeat. So our heartbeat is in fact the sound of the valves opening and closing.
When the blood knocks against the first heart valves, it makes a ‘lub’ like sound.
Lub - dub

The heart’s main valves
![Page 18: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Now that we can name all of the parts of the heart it is time to see how they work to push blood around the body.
The heart pumps blood when its muscle contracts. As the muscle contracts the chamber gets smaller and squeeze the blood out.
The two sides of the heart work together. The atria contract and relax at the same time, as do the ventricles.
The next two slides describe what occurs inside the heart during one heart cycle.
The action in motion
![Page 19: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
blood from the body
blood from the lungs
1. The heart beat begins when the heart muscles relax and blood flows into the atria.
2. The atria then contract and the valves open to allow blood into the ventricles.
The action in motion
![Page 20: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The staged cycle then repeats itself.
3. The ventricles contract forcing the blood to leave the heart. At the same time, the atria are relaxing and once again filling with blood.
The action in motion
![Page 21: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Do you notice anything different about the two sides of the heart?
Well, the left ventricle wall is clearly thicker than the right ventricle wall.
Why is this?
To answer this question, think about where the blood is going when it leaves the right and left ventricles.
Left and right ventricles
![Page 22: Heart & Circulatory System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815022550346895dbe0727/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This journey is far less demanding. The right ventricle only has to pump blood from the heart to the adjacent lungs.
This journey is enormous. The left ventricle has to pump blood all over the body!
Therefore, the left ventricle needs a thicker wall to generate a stronger ‘squeeze’ on the blood.
body cells
lungs
