The Circulatory System
While small organisms may rely on diffusion and osmosis, large organisms need a transport system to distribute food and oxygen and to collect wastes efficiently.
The mammalian circulatory system is made up of blood, blood vessels and the heart

Blood
![Page 4: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Red Blood Cells Produced in the red bone marrow. The cells lose their nuclei becoming tiny, circular, discs. The biconcave structure made up of spongy cytoplasm in an
elastic cell membrane is extremely flexible and enables them to squeeze through tiny spaces.
The cytoplasm contains heamoglobin (protein plus iron) which gives blood its red colour
High O2 content Heamoglobin + oxygen oxyheamoglobin
(darker red) Low O2 content (bright red)

Red Blood Cells
Each cell lives for about 4 months. It breaks down to give a yellow pigment
(removed in the bile) and iron (stored in the liver).
200,000 million red blood cells are replaced each day!
![Page 6: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
White Blood Cells
Made in the bone marrow. They are larger than red cells and in the
ratio of 1 wbc:600 rbc. Many white blood cells require
development and maturation in spleen, lymph nodes and thymus.
![Page 7: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
White blood cells
Majority are phagocytes They move by the flowing of cytoplasm
and can squeeze out of blood capillaries into surrounding tissues.
They collect at wounds, ingest (engulf) and digest bacteria and cell debris.
![Page 9: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
White blood cells
Lymphocytes produce antibodies against antigens (any substance-usually foreign - that stimulates antibody production).
Antibodies (a kind of protein) are specific in their action eg flu antibodies only effective against flu virus
![Page 10: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Lymphocytes
Antibodies are released into the blood and
♦ destroy antigens
♦ become attached to their surface so
that they are more easily ingested
by phagocytes or
♦ clump antigens together so that they
cannot function.
![Page 11: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes also produce anti-toxins (chemicals that neutralize poisonous substances produced by bacteria).
Lymphocytes are produced quickly when the body is being attacked
Immunity- White blood cells, lymph nodes, spleen and thymus make up the immune system.
![Page 12: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Types of Immunity
Innate immunity: from mother’s milk to baby. Passive immunity
Natural acquired immunity: eg person who has had chicken pox unlikely to get it again. Active
Artificial acquired immunity: vaccination. Active
Passive immunity: Antibodies extracted from plasma and used to treat patients at risk
![Page 13: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Organ Transplants
Immune response protects our body against bacteria, viruses and any foreign proteins
All cells carry antigens (proteins) on their surface. Different people have different antigens and so have different ‘tissue types’ (cf fingerprints). Close relatives may have similar but not identical tissue types
In transplant surgery, donated tissue is foreign and attacked and destroyed by white blood cells.
Immunosuppressive drug, eg Cyclosporine A, must be given to transplant patients to suppress their immune response. This protects the transplant but leaves him vulnerable to attack by disease organisms
![Page 14: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Platelets
Fragments of cells budded off in the bone marrow. They clot blood over wounds
![Page 15: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Platelets and damaged cells produce thrombokinase, an enzyme that changes the protein prothrombin into thrombin. This enzyme converts soluble fibrinogen into fibrin, which forms a network of fibres across wound.
Red blood cells trapped and forms clot (Ca++ and vitamin K needed)
![Page 16: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Haemophilia?
Haemophilia, a heredity disease has an impaired blood clotting mechanism.
Defect impairs the production of the plasma protein, fibrinogen.
![Page 17: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Plasma Mainly water with ♦ many mineral ions: K+, Na+, Ca++, Cl-, HCO3- ♦ proteins: fibrinogen, albumins, globulins, prothrombin ♦ food substances: glucose, aa, fats ♦ wastes : urea ♦ hormones Composition kept constant by liver and kidneys

Double Circulation in Mammals
High pressure systemic circulation (thicker wall of left ventricle compared to right ventricle) and
lower pressure pulmonary circulation
![Page 27: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Heart beat
The two atria contract together and then the two ventricles
Cardiac muscle has a natural rhythmic contraction rate and a ‘pacemaker’; keeps heart rate at 50-100 beats/minute
Heartbeat varies with sex, exercise, age, emotions
![Page 32: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Blood Pressure
Pumping action of the heart produces blood pressure.
Varies with age, health
![Page 33: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Coronary heart disease
Deposits of fats may be laid down in wall of arteries – atheroma.
Patches become more numerous and spread with age, small blood clots may occur on inner surface of arteries.
Reduced blood flow causes pain in chest – angina - especially during exercise.
Atheroma may block important artery eg coronary arteries, producing a heart attack or coronary thrombosis. (A thrombosis in brain produces a stroke)
![Page 34: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Artherosclerosis and THrombosis
![Page 36: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Causes of CHD
Smoking. Smokers 2 to 3 times more likely to die from heart attack. CO and other chemicals in cigarette smoke may damage the lining of arteries and allow atheroma formation
Fatty diet. Atheroma contains cholesterol, lipids and protein. Eating animal fats lead to raised cholesterol levels
Stress. Stress raises blood pressure which may increase atheroma formation
Lack of exercise. Regular, vigorous exercise reduces the chances of a heart attack by improving coronary blood flow
![Page 38: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Blood Vessels
![Page 39: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Blood Vessels -Arteries
Carry blood away from heart. Walls with elastic and muscle fibres;
can withstand blood flow under high pressure.
Blood flow in pulses or waves. Arteries with oxygenated blood except
pulmonary arteries
![Page 40: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Blood Vessels - Arterioles
Arterioles are smaller arteries. When muscle in arteriole wall contract,
arterioles narrow and restrict blood flow so that blood flow to different parts of body controlled
![Page 41: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

TS Artery and Vein
![Page 43: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Blood Vessels - Capillaries
Tiny vessels, wall one cell thick and partially permeable.
Form dense network in body. Blood pressure forces part of plasma
through walls producing tissue fluid which bathes all living cells and supplies them with food and oxygen. Seeps back into capillaries with wastes
![Page 44: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Capillary
![Page 45: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Blood Vessels - Veins
Carry blood to heart. Larger diameter than arteries, walls thinner,
less elastic and muscular. Valves present to prevent backflow. Blood
pressure is steady and low. Contraction of skeletal muscles around veins
squeezes the thin-walled veins and pushes the blood along.
Carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary veins - less food, more CO2
![Page 47: The cardiovascular system HCIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102516/55691814d8b42aa8138b49a9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Lymphatic system
Not all tissue fluid return to capillaries. Some enter blind-ended, thin walled lymphatic vessels. (Lacteals in small intestine part of lymphatic system)
Valves present Movement of lymph helped by contraction of
skeletal muscles around them. Lymph similar to tissue fluid.
Rejoin blood circulation in thorax.

Lymphatic system
Swellings or lymph nodes store lymphocytes, some phagocytes, filter off disease organisms from lymph.
