What is the Human Heart?• It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump
receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.
• It measures about 12 cm in length and 8.5 cm width• Weighs about 300 grams in men and 250 grams in
women• Beats about 100,000 times per day• Beats 2.5 billion times in an average 70 yr. lifetime• Pumps about 9000 litres of blood each day• Circulates blood completely 1000 times each day

Where is the heart situated?
• It is situated in the thorax (chest cage) to the left side of the chest
• The lungs are its neighbours
• It is guarded by the ribs.

What Does the Heart Do?
Its function is to receive deoxygenated [‘impure’] blood through veins
Send it to the lungs for oxygenation [‘purification’]
Collect oxygenated [‘purified’] blood from lungs
Pump oxygenated [‘purified] blood into the rest of the body through the arteries

How Does the Heart Look From the Outside?
![Page 6: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What roles do various parts of the heart play?
• The heart has two veins flowing into the right atrium carrying deoxygenated (‘impure’) blood from various parts of the body called:
1. Superior Vena Cava (SVC)2. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) SVC drains head, neck & upper limbs IVC drains blood from the thoracic & abdominal
organs and the lower limbs• SVC and IVC drain into the right atrium (RA)• There is a valve allowing unidirectional flow between
the RA & RV called tricuspid valve (TV)

What roles do various parts of the heart play?
• Blood then enters the right ventricle (RV) from the RA across TV
• The RV pumps blood to the lungs via pulmonary artery (PA).
• The main pulmonary artery (MPA) or the pulmonary trunk divides into two i.e. Left pulmonary artery (LPA) and right pulmonary artery (RPA) thereby carrying blood to the left and right lungs respectively.
• There is a unidirectional valve between RV and PA known as the pulmonary valve (PV)

What roles do various parts of the heart play?
• Blood is then oxygenated (‘purified’) in the lungs.• Flow of blood from lungs back to the heart is
through four pulmonary veins (PV) known as left upper (LAPV), left lower (LLPV), right upper (RUPV) and right lower (RLPV) pulmonary veins respectively
• Blood from the PV flows into the left atrium (LA)• There is a unidirectional valve separating LA

What roles do various parts of the heart play?
• Blood enters LV through MV• Oxygenated (‘pure’) blood is pumped out of the LV to the
rest of the body into the main artery called aorta (AO).• There exists an unidirectional valve between LV and AO
known as the Aortic valve (AV)• The atria are separated from each-other by a muscular
wall known as inter-atrial septum (IAS)• The ventricles are separated from each-other by a
muscular wall known as inter-ventricular septum (IVS)S

• The Left Ventricle & the arterial system is a high pressure – high resistance circuit.
• The right sided chambers and lungs are a low pressure – low resistance.

How does the Inside of the Heart Look?
![Page 12: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How Does the heart pump?• It is first electrically activated. • The impulse forming point of the
heart is known as the Sino-atrial (SA) node
• The impulse of activation then passes through the atria
• Then on to the Atrio-ventricular (AV) node
• The impulse is delayed at the AV node for a few hundredths of a second (nodal delay) and then passes to the bundle of His
• The bundle of His divides into left & right branches, activating the corresponding ventricles.
• The muscle fibres of the ventricles are supplied by Purkinje fibres.

How can heart’s electrical activity be captured on paper?
• The graphic representation of heart’s electrical activity is known as the electrocardiogram (ECG / EKG)
![Page 14: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What happens to the heart after it is electrically activated?
• Electrical activation triggers mechanical action i.e. contraction. In other words it is the electrical activation that activate the muscle to contract in an orderly & rhythmic manner.
• Thereby enabling reception & distribution of blood
Slides that follow will explain heart’s mechanical action

Blood Supply to the Heart• Heart is supplied by coronary arteries.• They have their origin just above the aortic root. [Aortic
root is the area of the aorta just above the aortic valve i.e. the point of attachment of aorta to the heart]
• There are two of coronary arteries i.e. the left and right• The left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcates into two
i.e. the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCx)
• The right coronary artery (RCA) continues as such and gives off its branches.
• Majority of the venous drainage of the heart is from the corresponding coronary veins which drain into the coronary sinus which empties into RA

Paths of Circulation
Pulmonary Circuit• Consists of vessels
that carry blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart
Systemic Circuit• Carries blood from
the heart to all other parts of the body and back again
• Includes coronary circulation (supplies the heart)

Blood Vessels
• They are a closed circuit of tubes that carry blood from heart to cells and back
• They include: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins
• 100,000 Km of blood vessels in the body (2 ½ times around the world)
![Page 28: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Arteries
• Strong elastic vessels adapted for carrying blood away from the heart under high pressure
• Subdivide into progressively thinner tubes and give rise to arterioles (finer branched tubes that connect artery to capillary)
• Walls of artery consist of 3 layers– Arterioles have 3 layers similar to arteries, but
thin as they approach capillaries.

Tunica Intima (Interna)
• Innermost layer• Composed of endothelium (squamous
epithelium) and collagenous and elastic connective tissue
• Helps prevent blood clotting by providing a smooth surface that allows blood cells and platelets to flow through without being damaged.
• Secretes chemical substances that inhibit platelet aggregation (thereby preventing establishment of blood clots)
• May help regulate blood flow by secreting substances that dilate or constrict blood vessels.

Tunica Media
• Middle layer
• Bulk of arterial wall
• Comprises of
- Smooth muscle fibers encircling it
- Thick layer of elastic connective tissue
![Page 32: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Tunica Adventitia (Externa)
• Outer layer
• Connective tissue with irregularly organized elastic and collagen fibers
• Attaches the artery to surrounding tissues.
![Page 33: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Nerve Supply to Blood Vessels
• Sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system use vasomotor fibers to innervate smooth muscle in artery and arteriole walls
• Vasoconstriction: vasomotor impulses stimulate contraction which reduces diameter of vessel
• Vasodilation: vasomotor impulses are inhibited, muscle fibers relax and diameter of vessel increases.
• Changes in diameter of vessels greatly influence blood flow and pressure.
![Page 34: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Capillaries
• Smallest-diameter blood vessels• Connect the smallest arterioles and smallest
venules• Composed of extensions of the inner linings of
arterioles in that their walls are endothelium• Thin walls form semipermeable layer through
which substances in blood are exchanged with tissue fluid surrounding body cells
![Page 35: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Capillaries
• Osmotic Pressure: force due to salts etc. in the blood that brings water into vessel.
• Blood Pressure: force exerted by the heart in contractions.
• BP changes as the arteries get further away from heart.
• OP remains the same.• Difference between BP & OP determines
materials movement in or out of vessel.

Capillaries
• At arterial end: nutrients, oxygen etc. move from vessel to cells.
• At venous end: waste, carbon dioxide etc. move from cells to vessel.
• But not all fluid moves into the vessels.
• A third vessel found along vein, Lymphatic Vessel.
![Page 38: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Exchanges in capillaries
• Gases, nutrients, and metabolic by-products are exchanged by diffusion, filtration and osmosis
• Diffusion– Substances diffuse down concentration
gradient.– Plasma proteins remain in blood. Too large
to diffuse through membrane pores and also are not soluble in the lipid portion of capillary cell membranes.
![Page 39: The Heart. What is the Human Heart? It is an electro-mechanical muscular pump receiving blood from all parts of the body and pumps blood back to them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5516c8b8550346fc4e8b467e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Venules and Veins
• Venules: microscopic vessels that continue from capillaries and merge to from veins.
• Veins: carry blood back to the atria following pathways that roughly parallel arteries.

Venous Valves
• Found in many veins, especially in lower limbs• Project inward from the lining• Composed of 2 leaflets that close if blood begins
to back up in a vein.• Aid in returning blood to the heart (open if flow is
toward the heart)

Veins as Blood Reservoirs
• In a hemorrhage accompanied by a drop in arterial pressure, sympathetic nerve impulses reflexively stimulate venous constriction of the walls.
• This helps maintain blood pressure by returning more blood to the heart.
• Normal flow can be maintained when even as much as 25% volume is lost.
