Study Notes
Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems Overview
- Systemic circulation involves the pumping of oxygen-enriched blood from the left ventricle to the aorta, through the arteries to the body tissue, and back to the heart via the veins.
- Arteries are a high-pressure system, while veins function as a low-pressure system and a reservoir.
- Blood vessels have three layers: tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica externa, each with specific functions.
- The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body tissue through the terminal vascular bed, which serves an exchange function.
- The terminal vascular bed includes arterioles, capillaries, and venules, regulating blood flow and fluid exchange with the interstitium.
- Veins facilitate blood flow from the periphery to the heart, with small and medium-sized veins equipped with valves for support.
- The superior vena cava receives deoxygenated blood from the upper body, while the inferior vena cava receives blood from the lower body.
- Portal circulation is a specialized part of the systemic circulation, involving two capillary beds in the digestive organs and the liver for metabolic processes.
- Pulmonary circulation involves oxygenating blood in the lungs and transporting it back to the heart via the pulmonary veins.
- The lymphatic vascular system, part of the immune system, transports lymph, aids in liquid and fat transport, and supports immune defense.
- The lymphatic vascular system includes lymphatic capillaries, precollectors, collectors, vessels, and major trunks, facilitating directional lymph flow with valves.
- The nervous system comprises the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, which includes cranial and spinal nerves.
