    Study Notes

    Cardiovascular System, Blood Types, and Immune System Summary

    • Blood flow in the heart: Deoxygenated blood flows from the superior vena cava to the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery, where it goes to the tissues, and returns through the pulmonary veins.
    • Coronary circulation: The coronary arteries originate at the base of the ascending aorta, branching into right and left coronary arteries.
    • Ventricular differences: The right ventricle has a thinner wall and lower pressure, while the left ventricle has a thicker wall and produces higher pressure, propelling blood to the entire systemic circuit.
    • Heart dynamics: Stroke volume is the volume of blood ejected by a ventricle in one beat, while cardiac output is the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle in one minute, calculated as the product of stroke volume and heart rate.
    • Homeostasis: Normal blood pressure range is 120/80, and it aims to maintain stability in the body when needed.
    • Cardiac cycle: It encompasses the period between one heartbeat and the next, involving systole (contraction phase) and diastole (relaxation phase) with alternating periods of contraction and relaxation.
    • Blood types: There are four blood types (A, B, AB, O) characterized by different surface antigens and antibodies in plasma.
    • Neutrophils: Make up 50-70% of circulating white blood cells, are active phagocytes, and are the first to arrive at an injury site.
    • Lymphocytes: Comprise 20-40% of circulating white blood cells, migrate in and out of peripheral tissues, and play a role in immune responses and antibody secretion.
    • Coagulation phase: Involves a complex sequence of steps or cascade leading to the conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin, forming a blood clot.
    • Lymphatic system: It carries fluids back to the bloodstream, filters out and phagocytoses pathogens, and produces lymphocytes in the red bone marrow and thymus.
    • Innate defenses: The body's innate defenses against pathogens include the lymphatic system, nonspecific immunity, and specific immune responses.

    Anatomy and Function of Blood Vessels and Lymphatic System

    • Arteries have a smaller lumen and greater wall thickness than veins
    • Arteries consist of elastic and muscular types, while arterioles have poorly defined tunica externa and thin tunica media
    • Capillaries are the only vessels allowing exchange between blood and interstitial fluid
    • Veins contain valves to ensure one-way blood flow and prevent backflow
    • The pulmonary circuit transports blood between the heart and lungs, while the systemic circuit supplies oxygenated blood to all organs and tissues
    • The main components of the lymphatic system are lymphatic vessels, lymphocytes, and lymph fluid
    • Lymphocytes are white blood cells that provide defense against specific pathogens
    • The lymphatic system carries fluid back to the bloodstream and filters out pathogens
    • The lymphatic system produces lymphocytes in the red bone marrow and thymus
    • Innate immunity includes physical barriers, phagocytes, immune surveillance, interferons, complement, inflammation, and fever
    • Mast cells, basophils, and platelets release histamine in response to injury, causing vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels
    • The lymphatic system does not have vessels in certain areas such as the cornea of the eye, bone marrow, and the central nervous system
