Describe the structures of the heart and cardiac muscle How does an electrical signaling lead to contraction? **Please review my action potential review video Silverthorn 7th ed: 443-452, 435-439, 8th ed: 440-449, 432-436 What are the main functions of the “CIRCULATORY SYSTEM”? 1. Transport and distribute essential substances to the tissues. 2. Remove metabolic byproducts. 3. Adjustment of oxygen and nutrient supply in different physiologic states. 4. Regulation of body temperature. 5. ‘Humoral’ communication. Cardiovascular system anatomy The cardiovascular system is a closed loop with two pumps working in series. The heart contains two pumps working simultaneously to circulate blood through the system. Arteries take blood away from the heart, and veins carry blood back to the heart. Pulmonary Circuit: Right ventricle ! pulmonary trunk ! pulmonary arteries (branches) ! lungs pulmonary veins return O2-rich blood to the left atrium. Systemic Circuit: Left ventricle !Aorta carrying O2rich blood from the left ventricle! branches with an artery to each organ. Arteries divide into arterioles and capillaries which then lead to venules. Structure of the Heart The heart is composed mostly of myocardium (muscle) 2 pumps – need muscle to squeeze STRUCTURE OF THE HEART Aorta Pulmonary artery Superior vena cava Pericardium Right atrium Auricle of left atrium Coronary artery and vein BASE Right ventricle Diaphragm (e) The heart is encased within a membranous fluid-filled sac, the pericardium. Left ventricle APEX (f) The ventricles occupy the bulk of the heart. The arteries and veins all attach to the base of the heart. The Cardiovascular System The Heart has 4 Valves to direct one-way blood flow Bicuspid (mitral) valve. Tricuspid valve. Pulmonary valve. Aortic valve. " Semilunar valves " cup-like leaflets, found at ventricular exit points " Pulmonary valve – between RV and pulmonary trunk " Aortic valve – between LV and aorta " Atrioventricular valves " found between the atria and ventricles " tricuspid valve on the right AV junction " bicuspid (mitral) valve on the left AV junction " valves are re-enforced by chordae tendinae attached to muscular projections within the ventricles.

Path of blood through the heart and body Review question: A red blood cell is just leaving the foot. Arrange the following structures in the order that the red blood cell will encounter them on its path if it travels once around the body back to the foot. 1) Inferior vena cava 2) Mitral valve 3) Pulmonary artery 4) Aorta 5) Pulmonary semilunar valve Coronary artery circulation Cardiac Muscle: Central piece in CV physiology Myocardial muscle cells are branched, have a single nucleus, and are attached to each other by specialized junctions known as intercalated disks. Intercalated disks Myocardial muscle cell Intercalated disk (sectioned) Nucleus Intercalated disk Mitochondria Cardiac muscle cell Contractile fibers Unique properties of cardiac muscle Cardiac Muscle Properties Syncytial network – branched myocyte connections (1 cell may be connected to several –think about waves of dominoes) Connected by intercalated disks containing desmosomes (VelcroTM) to allow force transfer, and gap junctions for electrical connectivity Mitochondria occupy one-third of cell volume A schematic diagram of a cardiac muscle shows T-tubules, sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofilaments in skeletal muscle D.

Cardiac action potentials are unique Cardiac muscle action potentials differ considerably from action potentials found in neural and skeletal muscle cells. Main difference Main difference is duration: Nerves, about 1 ms. Skeletal muscle cells, 2-5 ms. Cardiac action potentials range from 200 to 400 ms.

Case study: Beatrice is a 26-year-old pregnant woman with blood type A-. Her partner is type O+. Questions: 1) Why is this cause for concern? 2) What have Beatrice’s doctors done to alleviate this concern? Blood types and blood donation ABO blood groups 42% 9% 3% 46% Rh blood group Europeans: Rh positive = 85%; Rh negative =15% Asians, Africans, Native Americans: Rh pos= 99%; Rh neg = 1% ~Figure 24.19 Why is knowing your blood type important? Cross-reactions occur during blood transfusions if antigens on donor RBC meet antibodies in recipients plasma Figure from Martini (2006) Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology ~Figure 24.19 19 For example: Type B blood donor to Type A recipient type B antigens on donor’s red blood cells anti-B antibodies in recipient 20 Predict what would happen with the following combinations of donors and recipients Donor O Recipient A B O (anti-A, anti-B) A (anti-B) B (anti-A) AB + = agglutination - = no agglutination AB What is the connection between Rh factor (D antigen) and pregnancy? Unlike the ABO blood group, Rh- individuals do not normally have anti-D antibodies, but these can develop by: transfusion of Rh- individual with Rh+ (D antigen) blood pregnancy Rh- mother and Rh+ baby 22 Rh antigen and pregnancy Hemolytic disease of the newborn: Anemia, jaundice, enlarged liver and spleen, and severe edema. Figure from Martini (2006) Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology Rh+ means that the red blood cells have the D antigen 23 How do doctors prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn? Inject anti-D antigen antibodies into Rh- mother during and following her pregnancy The antibodies bind to and remove fetal red blood cells in mother’s bloodstream before they can trigger an immune response in the mother Thus, B cells are not activated in the mother and no immunological memory of the D antigen is acquired Therefore in a subsequent pregnancy with an Rh+ fetus, the mother does not produce anti-D antigen antibodies upon exposure to fetal red blood cells with D antigen Review question Lalit has suffered a wound on the job at the construction company he works at and requires a blood transfusion. His blood type is B-. Which blood type could you transfuse him with and why? A. O+ This type lacks anti-A and anti-B antibodies. B. B- or O- These types lack A antigens and would not react with the anti-A antibodies in his blood. C. B- This is the only blood type that you can transfuse because he has Rh negative blood. D. A- This type lacks B antigens and has anti-B antibodies Summary: Cells of the immune system Types of Cells Monocytes Basophils Neutrophils Lymphocytes Eosinophils Dendritic Cells Mast Cells Macrophages Classifications Plasma Cells Phagocytes Granulocytes Cytotoxic cells (some types) Cytotoxic cells Antigen-presenting cells % of WBCs in blood Rare Subtypes and nicknames Primary function(s) 50–70% 1–3% Called “polys” or “segs.” Immature forms called “bands” or “stabs.” Release chemicals that mediate inflammation and allergic responses Ingest and destroy invaders Destroy invaders, particularly antibodycoated parasites 1–6% 20–35% NA Called the mononuclear phagocyte system B lymphocytes Plasma cells Memory cells T lymphocytes Cytotoxic T cells Helper T cells Natural killer cells Also called Langerhans cells, veiled cells Ingest and destroy invaders.
