Study Notes
- The circulatory system includes the blood and lymphatic vascular systems.
- The blood vascular system consists of the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins.
- The heart has four chambers and three layers: endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium.
- The walls of larger blood vessels contain three components: endothelium, smooth muscle, and connective tissue.
- Blood vessels have three layers: tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia.
- The lymphatic vascular system collects excess interstitial fluid and returns it to the blood as lymph.
- Blood is a specialized connective tissue with formed elements suspended in plasma.
- Formed elements include erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes.
- When blood leaves the circulatory system, plasma proteins react to form a clot and serum.
- Serum contains growth factors and proteins released from platelets during clot formation.
