“Circulation”
Heart DiseaseA. The Silent Killer
B. Atherosclerosis: Building up of cholesterol/plaque within the artery walls.
C. Symptoms:
(1) High Blood Pressure
-Increased blood pressure due to the narrow diameter of the
artery.

What is cholesterol?A. Cholesterol is a fatty, waxy non-polar
substance manufactured by the liver.
B. The liver produces about 1,000 mg daily, which is sufficient for cell membrane and hormone development.
C. Because cholesterol is waxy, it doesn't readily dissolve in blood.
D. Cholesterol combines with certain proteins to form lipoproteins, which are more soluble and able to enter the bloodstream
04/19/23 5
Cholesterol LevelsA. Levels less than 200 mg/dl =
Low Risk of heart disease
B. 240 mg/dl and above = High blood cholesterol.
(1) A person with this level has more than twice the risk of coronary heart disease as someone whose cholesterol is below 200 mg/dL.

Symptoms of Coronary Artery (Heart) Disease:
1. Angina (Chest Pain)
– Most Common Sign.
(Can be mistaken for heart burn)
2. Palpitations (Irregular heart beats)
3. Faster Heart Beat.
4. Weakness & Dizziness
5. Nausea
6. Sweating

Cell Requirements:1. Each cell requires a supply of
oxygen and food molecules.
04/19/23 12
Cell Requirements:2. The cells must get rid of
waste products.
04/19/23 13
Cell Requirements:3. In all animals that
have a transport system, two parts are essential:
(1) Circulating Fluid
(2) One or more hearts to pump the blood.
04/19/23 14
The Circulatory SystemA. The transport system of
animals is called the circulatory system.
04/19/23 15
Open Circulatory SystemA. Blood sloshes around freely in
a body cavity.B. Example: Grasshopper’s Open
Circulatory System(1)The blood is pumped toward the head by a dorsal, segmented heart, into the aorta, the only blood vessel in its body. (2) From the aorta, blood empties into the insect’s body cavity.
04/19/23 16
Closed Circulatory SystemA. Blood is enclosed at all
times within vessels.
B. Example: Humans
04/19/23 17
Closed Circulatory SystemC. Circulation in vertebrates is
made up of:
1. Heart
a. Atrium: Thin-walled chamber receiving and collecting blood.
b. Ventricle: Larger, more muscular, thicker walled chamber, it pumps blood to the body.
04/19/23 18
Closed Circulatory System
2. Arteries: Transport oxygenated blood away from the heart.
04/19/23 19
Closed Circulatory System3. Veins transport deoxygenated
blood back to the heart.
a. One-way valves keep the blood from flowing backwards.
04/19/23 20
Closed Circulatory System4. Capillaries: Consist of a
single cell layer.
a. Function: Exchange of materials
04/19/23 21
Types of Hearts
04/19/23 22
Different Types of Hearts:
1. Hearts with 2 chambers: Fish (only have one atrium and one ventricle)
a. Low pressure, low energy demands.
04/19/23 23
Different Types of Hearts:2. Hearts with 3 chambers:
Amphibians
(Two atria and one ventricle)
04/19/23 24
Different Types of Hearts:
3. Heart with 4 chambers: Mammals
a. High Pressure, Double Circulation:
(1) Once through the lungs and once through the body tissues.
04/19/23 25
CirculationA. Animals in which body
temperature is determined by the environment are called “ectotherms,” or cold-blooded.
(1) Reptiles, Amphibians
04/19/23 26
Circulation in Mammals A. Mammals are endotherms
(warm-blooded)
(1) Maintain a constant body temperature and have high energy demands.
04/19/23 27
Circulation in MammalsB. In humans, blood goes to
and from the lungs.
-Called “Pulmonary Circulation”
04/19/23 28
Circulation in MammalsC. There is
circulation of blood to and from all the organs, tissues, and cells of the body.
Called “Systemic Circulation”
04/19/23 29
Circulation in Mammals
D. Thousands of arteries and veins are linked by capillaries within the tissues to form a closed circulatory system.
04/19/23 30
Lymphatic SystemA. Excess fluid in the tissues
moves into tiny vessels of the lymphatic system. -This fluid is called lymph.
B. Lymph is moved by the squeezing of skeletal muscles.
04/19/23 31
High Blood Pressure is Called “Hypertension”1. Hypertension is the biggest risk
factor in heart disease.
2. Normal (average) blood pressure is around 120/80.
a. The top number “120” refers to the systolic pressure.
(Ventricles Contract)
b. The bottom number “80” refers to the diastolic pressure.
(Atria fill up with blood)
04/19/23 32
The Human Circulatory System
Coloring Activity:
Accurately color the heart diagram: (1) Use the color “blue” for deoxygenated blood.
(2) Use the color “red” for oxygenated blood.
The Human Circulatory SystemA. The heart is the muscular pump
of the blood vascular system.
04/19/23 33
The Human Circulatory SystemB. It has four chambers:
(1) Two on the right relate to the lungs (Pulmonary Circulation)
(2) Two on the left relate to the rest of the body (Systemic Circulation)
04/19/23 34
The Human Circulatory SystemC. Deoxygenated blood from the body
enters the right atrium and is pumped to the lungs by the right ventricle under relatively low pressure.
04/19/23 35
The Human Circulatory SystemD. Oxygenated blood returns to the left
atrium and is pumped to the body tissues by the left ventricle under rather high pressure, a fact reflected in the thicker left ventricular walls.
04/19/23 36
The Human Circulatory System
E. The bicuspid and tricuspid valves prevent regurgitation of blood back into the atria.
04/19/23 37
The Human Circulatory SystemF. The semi-lunar valves prevent
reflux of blood back into the ventricles.
04/19/23 38
Electrical Impulses in the HeartA. An action potential is initiated
by the S-A Node, the impulse spreads out over both atria causing them to contract.
04/19/23 39
Electrical Impulses in the HeartB. The S-A Node is located in the right
atrial wall and it initiates each cardiac cycle; consequently, it is also known as the pacemaker of the heart.
04/19/23 40
Electrical Impulses in the HeartC. The A-V Node sends an
electrical impulse down the septum and up the ventricle walls.
