Cardiovascular System
Heart
-
-
Layers of the heart wall
Endocardium
Inner layer of the heart wall, simple squamous linging valves and heart chambers
-
Epicardium
Visceral layer of serous membrane, outer layer of the heart
Conduction system
-
Bundle branches
In the interventricular septum the bundle of his splits into a bundle branch send the signal to each side of the heart.
AV Node
Controls heart rate by slowing the signal from SA node so all the blood can be pushed out of the artium to the ventricle.
Purkinje fibers
Further in the septum, bundle branches split into Purkinje fibers. Sending the current to the apex and then up (superior) the ventricular walls, contracting the ventricles and pushing out the blood.
SA Node
In the right atrium "pacemaker of the heart" starts the electrical signal in the heart - sets heart rate. Ejects blood from atria into ventricles
Blood
-
Erythroctyes
Red blood cells, gets rid of organelles and nucleus. Increased surface area for oxygen transport
-
Plasma
90% water, the extracellular matrix for blood (hence blood is connective tissue), transports all sorts of water soluble materials and proteins
Proteins
Globulins
Antibodies, aids immunity
-
-
Blood Vessels
Capillaries
Fenestrated
has pores, high exchange rate, in kidneys, small intestines, choroid plexus....
Sinusoid
Very porous, larger molecules can exchange like proteins and whole cells. Found in liver, red bone marrow, and spleen
Continuous Capillary
Most common type,in CNS, lungs, skin, smooth and skeletal muscle. Transfer through intercellular clefts
Veins
-
-
Venules
The smallest veins, almost like capillaries - only one or two layers of smooth muscle
Arteries
-
Arterioles
Smallest artery, has 1-2 layers of smooth muscle, can contract or dilate.
Elastic artery
The first arteries out of the heart, elastic/stretchy to handle the blood pressure
