SYSTEM
CARDIO – HEART \ VASCULAR – BLOOD VESSELS
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
WHAT IS CARIOVASCULAR SYSTEM?
• Heart and many blood vessels in your
body make up your cardiovascular
system or circulatory system.
• This network also removes the things
your body doesn’t need and takes them
to organs that can get rid of the waste.
• Your blood carries the oxygen, nutrients
and waste through your entire body.
TYPES OF CIRCULATION
1. PULMONARY CIRCULATION
• Blood flow between heart and
lungs.
• Supplies oxygenated blood to
the rest of the body and
eliminates carbon dioxide from
the circulation.
SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
• Provides the functional blood supply
to all body tissue.
• Systemic circulation carries
oxygenated blood from the left
ventricle, through the arteries, to the
capillaries in the tissues of the body.
• From the tissue capillaries, the
deoxygenated blood returns through
a system of veins to the right atrium
of the heart.
CARDIAC CIRCULATION
FUNCTION :
HEART Pumping oxygenated blood to other body parts.
Pumping hormones and other vital substances to different
parts of the body.
Receiving deoxygenated blood and carrying metabolic waste
products from the body and pumping it to the lungs for
oxygenation.
Maintaining blood pressure
LOCATION :
The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist.
Heart is located in the front of your chest. It sits slightly
behind and to the left of your sternum (breastbone).
About two thirds of the heart's mass is located to the left of
the body's midline.
STRUCTURE :
Heart is roughly cone shaped. It is about 12cm long, 9cm
across the broadest point and about 6cm thick.
Covered by pericardium(fibrous layer)
CHAMBERS & VALVES
RIGHT ATRIUM TO RIGHT VENTRICLE – TRICUSPID VALVE
LEFT ATRIUM TO LEFT VENTRICLE – BICUSPID (or) MITRAL
VALVE
PULMONARY ARTERY – PULMONARY VALVE
PULMONARY VEINS – AORTIC VALVE

VALVES
BLOOD VESSELS
Blood vessels are channels that carry blood throughout your body.
They from a closed loop, like a circuit, that begins and ends at your
heart.
Your body contains about 60,000 miles of blood vessels.
The are 3 types of blood vessels: Arteries , Veins & Capillaries.
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Arteries also
contain a strong, muscular middle layer that helps pump blood
through the body.
Veins carry the blood back to the heart. They’re similar to arteries but
not as strong or as thick.
Capillaries connect the arteries to veins. The capillaries then deliver
the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and
heart.

RECAP
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood
vessels, and blood. Its primary function is to transport
nutrients and oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body and
to carry deoxygenated blood back to the lungs.
The heart: A muscular pump that forces blood around the
body.
There are 3 types of blood vessels:
Arteries: Vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Veins: Vessels that bring blood back to the heart.
Capillaries: Tiny vessels that branch off from arteries to
deliver blood to all body tissues
