    Study Notes

    Cardiovascular System Definition

    • The cardiovascular system (CVS) is composed of the organs and tissues that circulate blood and lymph through the body.

    Cardiovascular System Components

    • There are three main components: the heart (biological pump), blood and lymph (carrier), and blood vessels (transport paths).

    • All components have built-in control systems regulating overall system function.

    Circulation

    • The CVS has two circuits: systemic and pulmonary circuits.
    • These circuits are connected by the heart.
    • The systemic circuit perfuses most tissues and organs with blood; it's a high-pressure circuit.
    • The pulmonary circuit circulates blood to and from the lungs; it's a low-pressure circuit.

    Blood Flow Matching

    • Blood flow in both circuits must be matched over time to prevent blood pooling.
    • The cardiac output of the right heart matches the cardiac output of the left heart.

    Blood Volume Distribution

    • Blood volume is unevenly distributed.
    • The systemic circuit contains the majority of the circulating blood.
    • Systemic veins act as blood volume reservoirs, allowing for utilization when needed.

    Blood Pressure and Flow

    • Blood pressure is the force per unit area exerted by blood on vessel walls.
    • Blood flow is the volume of blood moving through vessels per unit time.
    • Resistance opposes blood flow; it is the friction between blood layers and vessel walls.

    Resistance Factors

    • Resistance depends on:
      • Vessel geometry and flow type (laminar vs. turbulent)
      • Blood viscosity
      • Vessel length
      • Vessel width (radius)

    Hagen-Poiseuille Law

    • This law describes laminar flow of Newtonian fluids in cylindrical tubes.
    • It highlights the relationship between flow, pressure, and resistance.

    Poiseuille's Law Implications

    • Flow is directly proportional to pressure difference and the fourth power of vessel radius.
    • Flow is inversely proportional to vessel length and blood viscosity.

    Assumptions in Poiseuille's Equation

    • Incompressible fluid (blood)
    • Simple vessel geometry (straight, rigid, cylindrical, unbranched)
    • Zero velocity at the vessel wall
    • Laminar flow
    • Steady flow
    • Constant viscosity

    Blood as a Non-Newtonian Fluid

    • Blood's viscosity is influenced by shear stress and shear rate, making it a non-Newtonian fluid.
    • This is due to the elastic behavior of red blood cells.

    Heart as a Pump

    • The heart acts as a pump, generating pressure needed for blood circulation.
    • It's essential for maintaining 5L per minute flow (400 million L in a lifetime).

    Cardiac Output

    • Cardiac output (CO) is the volume of blood pumped per minute by the heart.
    • It is calculated as CO = stroke volume (SV) x heart rate (HR).

    Haemodynamics

    • Haemodynamics describes the relationship between blood flow, pressure, and resistance within the CVS.
    • Flow is directly proportional to pressure difference and inversely proportional to total peripheral resistance (TPR).

    Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

    • MAP is the average pressure across a cardiac cycle, driving blood flow.
    • MAP is calculated as MAP = CO x TPR.
    • MAP is approximately equal to diastolic pressure plus one-third of the pulse pressure.

    MAP Regulation

    • MAP is regulated by two main factors:
      • Short-term: Cardiac output and peripheral resistance
      • Longer-term: Blood volume and arterial compliance

    The Text Does Not Explain:

    • The mechanisms by which the body regulates blood pressure.
    • The details of the baroreceptor and chemoreceptor reflexes.
    • The specific roles of different blood vessels in regulating blood flow.
    • The pathological conditions associated with hypertension.
    • The role of the lymphatic system in fluid exchange.

    Cardiovascular System

    • The cardiovascular system (CVS) is a network of organs and tissues responsible for blood and lymph circulation.
    • It comprises three key components: the heart, blood and lymph, and blood vessels, which together create the circulatory system.
    • The heart acts as a biological pump, blood and lymph carry nutrients and waste, and blood vessels provide the transport paths.

    The Circulation

    • The CVS has two interconnected circuits: the systemic and pulmonary circuits.
    • The systemic circuit is a high-pressure circuit that supplies blood to most organs and tissues.
    • The pulmonary circuit is a low-pressure circuit that carries blood to and from the lungs.
    • The blood flow in both circuits needs to be synchronized to prevent blood pooling in one of the circuits.
    • The cardiac output of the right and left sides of the heart is linked to ensure this synchronization.
    • The distribution of blood in the circulation is uneven with the majority of blood in the systemic circuit.
    • Systemic veins act as blood volume reservoirs that can be utilized when needed.

    Blood Pressure & Flow

    • Pressure is defined as force per unit area; Flow is the volume of fluid moving per unit time.
    • Resistance is the opposition to blood flow in a vessel, influenced by vessel geometry, blood viscosity, vessel length, and vessel width.
    • Hagen-Poiseuille law describes laminar flow of Newtonian fluids in cylindrical tubes, demonstrating the relationship between flow, pressure difference, vessel radius, vessel length, and fluid viscosity.
    • Flow is directly proportional to the pressure difference and the fourth power of the vessel radius, but inversely proportional to vessel length and fluid viscosity.
    • The heart acts as a pump to create pressure, essential for blood circulation.

    Cardiac Output

    • Cardiac Output (CO) is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute.
    • CO is calculated as Stroke Volume (SV) multiplied by Heart Rate (HR).
    • Stroke Volume (SV) is the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat.
    • Heart Rate (HR) is the number of heartbeats per minute.

    Haemodynamics

    • Flow is the volume of blood moving per unit time, influenced by the pressure difference (ΔP) and total peripheral resistance (TPR).
    • Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) is the overall resistance to blood flow in the vascular system, encompassing the resistance of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins in both systemic and pulmonary circuits.
    • The formula for calculating CO is CO = ΔP / TPR.
    • The pressure difference can be simplified to MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) minus CVP (Central Venous Pressure), where CVP is close to zero.
    • The formula can be rearranged to calculate MAP = CO x TPR.

    Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

    • MAP is the average pressure in the arteries throughout one cardiac cycle, representing the pressure that drives blood flow.
    • MAP is calculated as Diastolic Blood Pressure + 1/3 Pulse Pressure.
    • MAP is influenced by Cardiac Output (CO) and Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR).
    • Increasing CO or TPR will increase MAP.
    • Decreasing CO or TPR will decrease MAP.

    Blood Pressure Regulation

    • Arterial blood volume, Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), Cardiac Output (CO), Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR), and Arterial compliance all contribute to short-term and long-term regulation of blood pressure.
