Table 14-1
Arteries
Carry blood away from the heart
Usually carry oxygenated blood
Exception: pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs
Shown in red on the diagrams
Veins
Carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
Exception: pulmonary veins carry re-oxygenated
blood back to the heart
Shown in blue on the diagrams
Systemic Circulation
Heart (left ventricle) to body tissues then back to
the heart
Pulmonary Circulation
Right ventricle to lungs then back to heart (left
atrium)
Hepatic Portal Circulation
Digestive tract to liver via the hepatic portal vein.
This carries the digested nutrients directly to the
liver for processing
Portal Systems
Definition:
Two capillary beds directly connected by a set of
blood vessels
Other body portal systems:
Kidney portal system
Hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system

Heart Structure
Learn the following diagrams (if you don't already
know them)
Know, for the exam, pericardium, heart structures
(including valves, atria, ventricles, septum), arteries
and veins attached to the heart (including the coronary
arteriesnot shown on the diagrams), and the
circulation of blood through the heart
See Table 14-2 on page 478 for heart structures and
major blood vessels

Heart Valves
One-way flow through the heart, ensured by 2 sets of
heart valves
Atrioventricular (AV) valves
Located between the atria and ventricles
Tricuspid valve (has 3 flaps)
Between R. atrium and R. ventricle
Bicuspid valve (has 2 flaps)
Between L. atrium and L. ventricle
Also called mitral valve (looks like a bishop's
hat)
Figure 14-9a
Figure 14-9c
Chordae Tendinae
Collagenous tendons
Attached to the flaps of the AV valve on the
ventricular side
At opposite end, they are attached to papillary
muscles
Papillary Muscles
Mound-like extensions of ventricular muscle
Provide stability for the chordae tendinae
These muscles do not actively pull on the valve
flaps
The AV valves move passively, respond to flowing
blood pressing on them

Heart Valves
Semilunar valves
Separate the ventricles from the major arteries
Look like half-moon shapes
Each made of 3 cuplike leaflets that snap shut to
prevent backflow of blood (back into the ventricles)
Don't need connective tendons like the AV valves
Aortic semilunar valve
Located between L. ventricle and aorta
Pulmonary semilunar valve
Located between R. ventricle and pulmonary
trunk

Cardiac muscle

Spiral arrangement of
ventricular cardiac muscle
Allows ventricular contraction
to squeeze blood upward
from the heart apex
