    Study Notes

    Circulatory System Composition

    • The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.

    Heart Anatomy

    • The outermost layer of the heart is called the epicardium.
    • The middle layer of the heart is called the myocardium.
    • The innermost layer of the heart is called the endocardium.

    Circulations

    • The pulmonary circulation is responsible for carrying blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and back to the left side of the heart.
    • The systemic circulation is responsible for carrying blood from the left side of the heart to the capillary beds of organs and tissues.

    Conduction System

    • The electrical impulse starts in the sinoatrial (SA) node.
    • The electrical impulse travels through the atrioventricular (AV) node.
    • When the electrical impulse reaches the AV node, the atrioventricular bundle contracts.

    Blood Vessels

    • The tunica media is the layer of the blood vessel responsible for contracting and relaxing to regulate blood flow.

    Anastomoses

    • Anastomoses are connections between blood vessels that allow for collateral circulation.
    • The purpose of anastomoses in the circulatory system is to provide an alternative route for blood flow in case of blockage.

    Blood Flow Regulation

    • The sympathetic tone causes arterioles to constrict, increasing blood pressure.

    Cardiovascular System

    • The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.

    Lymphatic System

    • Lymphatic capillaries are responsible for the uptake of interstitial fluid and proteins.
    • The purpose of the hepatic portal venous system is to deliver nutrient-rich blood from the digestive system to the liver for processing.

    Venous Return

    • The skeletal muscle pump plays a crucial role in venous return by contracting and relaxing to push blood back towards the heart.

    Occlusion of End Artery

    • The result of an untreated occlusion of an end artery is tissue death due to lack of oxygen and nutrients.
