Blood Flow

Pulmonary circulation involves blood flow from the heart to the lungs, and back to the heart.
Systemic circulation involves blood flow from the heart to the other tissues in the body, and back to the heart.

Vascular System

Pulmonary circulation (low pressure): poorly oxygenated blood to lungs, and highly oxygenated blood to the heart.
Systemic circulation (high pressure): highly oxygenated blood to tissues, and poorly oxygenated blood back to the heart.

Functional Components of the Circulatory System

Pump (heart): responsible for pumping blood
Distributing tubes (arterial system): carry blood away from the heart
Collecting tubes (venous system): collect blood returning to the heart
Exchange system (capillary beds): allow for exchange of substances between blood and tissues

The Pumps

Right ventricle: pumps blood through the lungs (pulmonary circulation) acquires O2, expels CO2
Left ventricle: pumps blood through all other tissues (systemic circulation) delivers O2 & nutrients, obtains CO2 & waste products

Distributing (arterial system) & Collecting tubes (venous system)

Arterial system: branching of aorta & pulmonary artery; progressively smaller vessels (arteries → arterioles → capillaries)
Venous system: empties into vena cava & pulmonary vein; smaller vessels join to form larger vessels (capillaries → venules → veins)

Exchange System (capillary beds)

Exchange of O2, CO2, nutrients, & waste products between blood & tissues via capillaries

Cardiac Output

CO = SV x HR
Stroke Volume (SV): volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per beat (average 70 mL/beat)
Heart Rate (HR): heart beats per minute (average 70 beats/min)
Resting cardiac output: approximately 5 liters/minute
Exercise cardiac output: can increase to 20-25 liters/minute

Heart Valves

Atrioventricular valves: between atria and ventricles (left - mitral, right - tricuspid)
Semilunar valves: between ventricles and major arteries (left - aortic, right - pulmonic)

Electrical Activity of Cardiac Muscle Cells

Specialized muscle cells in the SA node spontaneously depolarize, creating an action potential.
The action potential spreads through the heart via gap junctions.
Pacemaker cells depolarize without neural stimulation, setting the basic heart rate.
Motor neurons from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems modify the heart rate.

Cardiac Action Potentials

Cardiac action potentials are relatively long (100–250 ms).
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are important in prolonging these action potentials
Phase 4 (Resting Membrane Potential): Membrane is more permeable to potassium (K+) than sodium (Na+) or calcium (Ca2+)
Phase 0 (Depolarization): Voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels open, causing a rapid influx of Na+
Phase 1 (Initial Repolarization): Sodium channels inactivate, and potassium (K+) channels open, leading to a rapid outflow of K+
Phase 2 (Plateau): Calcium channels open, causing a slow influx of Ca2+. This plateau prevents the ventricles from contracting too quickly
Phase 3 (Repolarization): Calcium channels close, and potassium (K+) efflux accelerates, returning the membrane potential to the resting state.
Phase 4 (Resting Membrane Potential): Voltage-gated sodium, potassium, and calcium channels close.

Cardiac Cycle

Contraction of cardiac muscle increases ventricular chamber pressure, causing the opening of semilunar valves and the closing of atrioventricular valves.
Relaxation of cardiac muscle decreases ventricular chamber pressure; atrioventricular valves open and semilunar valves close.

Blood Pressures

Circulation is pressure-driven flow of blood throughout the body
Pressures are additive when vessels are below the heart, and subtractive when above the heart
Blood pressure values vary between a minimum (diastolic) & maximum (systolic) pressure.
Pulse pressure = systolic pressure - diastolic pressure
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) = diastolic pressure + (1/3) pulse pressure

Resistance & Blood Pressures

Resistance is opposition to blood flow in a vascular bed.
Arterioles have the highest resistance.
Capillaries & venules have intermediate resistance.
Veins have the lowest resistance.

Total Peripheral Resistance & Blood Pressures

TPR= (change in pressure) / resistance
Organ receives aortic blood
Organ drained by vena cava
Arteriolar diameter is what determines vascular resistance in each organ

Clinical Applications

Blood viscosity
Blood pressure measurement
Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Blood Pressure Regulation

Sympathetic nervous system: norepinephrine and epinephrine increase heart rate and contractility & cause vasoconstriction.
Parasympathetic nervous system: acetylcholine decreases heart rates and causes vasodilation.

Baroreceptor Reflex

Baroreceptors sense blood pressure changes
Sends signals to the CNS for control (sympathetic, parasympathetic effect
This reflex helps restore normal blood pressures.

Atrial Volume Receptor Reflex

Atrial volume receptors sense blood volume
Sends signals to the CNS for control (hormonal, nervous system effects
This reflex helps restore normal blood volume.

Blood Pressure & RAAS

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is activated by reduced blood pressure and low blood volume
RAAS, promotes sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing blood volume and pressure.
