CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
HEART
PERICARDIAL MEMBRANES
Fibrous pericardium
Made from dense irregular connective tissue
Keeps heart from overfilling
A sack that encloses the heart
Serous pericardium
Partietal and viseral
Made from simple squamous epithelium
Pericardial cavity
Slippery and lubricated
Serous fluid is in here
LAYERS OF THE HEART WALL
Epicardium
Outer surface of the heart
Protective layer
Myocardium
Composed of cardiac muscle
Endocardium
Lines the inside of the heart
ANATOMY OF MYOCARDIUM
Intercalated discs
A site for strong adhesion
Fascia adherens
Desmosome like structures
Gap junctions
For electrical signals
T-tubules
Made with cardiac muscle
HEART VALVES
Atrioventricular valves
Pressure causes these valves to open
Blood flows in when open
Semilunar valves
Prevent back flow from the arteries
CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
Sinoatrial node
The pace maker of the heart
generates a signal
Atrioventricular node
They delay the signal while the ventricles fill with blood
BLOOD VESSELS
Arteries
Elastic artery
Able to move large amounts of blood
Muscular artery
Takes blood to organs and parts of organs
Arteriole
Little arteries
Veins
Veins
Few elastic fibers
Venules
Smaller
most like capillaries
still some exchange
Capillaries
Continuous
Most common type
Fenestrated
Have pores
high rates of exchange
Sinusoid
Large and winding
Makes it easy for large exchanges
Located in red bone marrow
Capillary bed
A network of capillaries
BLOOD
Plasma
90% water
10% of hundreds of molecules
Ions, sugar, hormones, lipids and nutrients
Cells
Proteins
Albumin
Helps keep water in our blood vessels
Grobulin
Protects us from pathogens
Fibrinogen
Helps with blood clotting
Erythrocytes
Bags of hemoglobin
needs iron to transport oxygen
Leukocytes
Neutrophil
Monocytes
Lymphocytes
Basophil
Eosinophil
Platelets
Smaller bits of erythrocytes
Help plug leaks
Helps with clot formation
