The CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Part 1.kjsp

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The blood transports oxygen, nutrients, waste, hormones, and more throughout the body. It also helps regulate body temperature and protects against disease. Blood is made up of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The heart pumps blood through vessels to supply the entire body with oxygen and nutrients and remove carbon dioxide and waste.

o Cardiovascular System (aka
Circulatory System) b.) Regulation: Body temperature
c.) Protection: Diseases; *healing
3 COMPONENTS:
1. BLOOD Physical Characteristics of the Blood:

2. HEART  Denser and more viscous > H2O


3. BLOOD VESSELS  Temperature: 38⁰C (100.4⁰F)

I. BLOOD  Blood volume:


 made/ produced in the bone marrow. Male Adult: 5-6 L
Functions: Female Adult: 4-5 L

a.) Transportation: O2, CO2,


nutrients, waste products, hormones
* Venipuncture: withdrawal of blood Components of Blood:
from a vein using a needle and a
1. Blood Plasma: Liquid part of the
syringe
blood that contains H2O and dissolved
substances; Transport medium

2. Formed Elements:
a. ) Red Blood Cells (RBCs)/Erythrocytes:

Carry O2 to and CO2 away from the


cells;
• biconcave discs
• 120 days life span
• Hemoglobin: “O2 Carrier”; pigment
that gives blood its color

• RBC Disorders:
 Anemia: decrease RBC = decrease
Hgb count
 Polycythemia: ‘poly’ = many; Bone
• “Soldiers of the body”
marrow produces many RBCs
• WBC Disorder:
b.) White Blood Cells (WBCs)/ Leukocytes:
 Leukemia: Infection WBC rushes
Helps fight disease and infection by
attacking germs. to the site of infection  multiply
• 9 days life span rapidly  increase WBC  Leukemia
• Colorless; No Hemoglobin (Hgb)
• Types of WBC:

1. Monocytes – Mature to become   c.) Platelets/ Thrombocytes:


macrophages (engulfing). Helps in the clotting of blood which
2. Lymphocytes – Fight off viral seals cuts and prevents excessive
infection. bleeding.
3. Neutrophils – Fight Off bacterial • Vit. K- “clotting factor”
infection.
• Hemophilia: bleeding  decreased
4. Basophils – Allergic Reactions, also
clotting factors
contains           Heparin (prevents blood
• 5-9 days life span
clot).
5. Eosinophils – Combats parasitic
infections.
* Hemostasis: sequence of responses c. Blood Clotting: Blood (platelets)
that stops bleeding will clump up together to form a plug
a. Vascular Spasm: The circularly  Fibrin blood clot .
arranged smooth muscles (Endothelial
cells) in the walls of the arteries/
arterioles contracts immediately to
stop bleeding. -Vasoconstriction

b. Platelet Plug Formation: A mass


(collagen fibers) is formed by the
accumulation and attachment of large
number of platelets.
* Complete Blood Count (CBC):
 a group of test that evaluates • Type AB: universal recipient or
the cells that circulate in the receiver
blood • Type O: Universal donor
 Screens for anemia, leukemia, • Antigen: contained in the RBC
and other various infections • Antibody: contained in the

Blood Type: plasma

* Transfusion: transfer of blood


from the donor to the receiver
