blood
c. Fighting disease
Transport cells that attack disease
B. The Heart
Heart a hollow,
muscular organ that
pumps blood
throughout the body
Each time the heart
beats, it pushes blood
through the blood
vessels
Ventricle the
lower chambers of
the heart that pump
blood out of the
heart, separated by
valves
Valves a flap of
tissue that prevents
blood from flowing
backward
Warm up 5/8/15
1. What is the Cardiovascular System?
2. What are the Cardiovascular System main
functions?
3. How does the cardiovascular system help
fight disease?
4. What divides the heart?
5. How many chambers does the heart have
and what are the names of them?
C. Two Loops
After leaving the heart the blood travels
into the blood vessels
There are three (3) kinds of blood vessels:
b.
c.
d.
From lungs
To body
b.
c.
d.
e.
From lungs
To body
D. Arteries
a. When blood leaves the heart it travels
through the arteries
b. Right Ventricle arteries go to the lungs
c. Left Ventricle arteries go to the aorta
d. Smaller arteries branch off the aorta the
first are called the coronary arteries
e. Coronary arteries carry blood away
from the heart
1. Artery Structure
a.
b.
2. Pulse
a. Pulse the alternating expansion and
relaxation of the artery wall
b. The faster your heart beats, the faster
your pulse will be
c. Heartbeats = pulse beats
E. Capillaries
1. In capillaries, materials are exchanged
between the blood and the bodys cells.
2. Capillary walls are only one cell thick.
3. Diffusion the process by which
molecules move from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower
concentration
F. Veins
1. After blood moves through
capillaries, it enters larger
blood vessels called veins,
which carry blood back to the
heart
2. The walls of veins, like those
of arteries, have three layers
with muscle in the middle
layer, but are thinner than
arteries
G. Blood Pressure
1. Blood pressure the pressure that is
exerted by the blood against the walls of
blood vessels caused by the force of
ventricle contraction
2. As blood moves away from the heart the
blood pressure decreases
3. Measured by a sphygmomanometer
