Chapter Forty-Two: Circulation and Gas Exchange Preface All animals must exchange substances with the environment. Unicellular animals may directly exchange with the environment. Nutrients and oxygen enter through the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm while carbon dioxide and metabolic by-products exit from the cytoplasm through the plasma membrane. Multicellular organisms cannot exchange material at the cellular level and therefore rely on specialized systems that carry out exchange with the environment and transport the material from the sites of exchange to the rest of the body. Concept One: Circulatory systems link exchange surfaces with cells throughout the body

Cardiovascular Vocabulary Diastolic Pressure - the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) after the contraction of the heart while the chambers of the heart refill with blood. Arteriole - A small branch of an artery leading into capillaries. Cardiac Output - the amount of blood pumped out by the ventricles in a given period of time. Atrioventricular valve - either of two heart valves through which blood flows from the atria to the ventricles; prevents return of blood to the atrium. Bicuspid Valve - valve with two cusps; situated between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Systolic Pressure - the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) during the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart.

Chapter 13 - Cardiovascular SystemPRIVATE ? 13.1 Introduction (p. 329; Fig. 13.1) A. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, and vessels, arteries, capillaries and veins. B. A functional cardiovascular system is vital for supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing wastes from them. 13.2 Structure of the Heart (p. 329; Fig. 13.2) A. The heart is a hollow, cone-shaped, muscular pump within the thoracic cavity. B. Size and Location of the Heart (p. 329) 1. The average adult heart is 14 cm long and 9 cm wide. 2. The heart lies in the mediastinum under the sternum; its apex extends to the fifth intercostal space. C. Coverings of the Heart (p. 329; Fig. 13.3) 1. The pericardium encloses the heart.

EMI Huang: First third of NED CIRC NOTES 2009 Systole: Heart ventricles contract/chamber pump Diastole: Heart ventricles relax/chamber fills AIM: What are the parts of the heart and blood? William Harvey established direction of blood flow and elucidated difference between pulmo and systemic circulation. TYPES OF CIRCULATION: Pulmonary: travel of blood between heart and lungs Coronary: supplies blood to heart Renal: supplies blood to kidneys Hepatic portal: supplies liver with nutrients; receive oxygenated blood from the aorta HEART: CHAMBERS AND VALVES Atria: blood into upper chambers Ventricles: blood out of lower chambers. Valves/regulated one-way flow. A/V: Atria Ventricular S/L: Semilunar (Valves separate chambers, preventing blood from mixing)
