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.
