Pulmonary circuit:

Issue with heart structure and or function present from birth
Endocardium
the outermost layer; a serous membrane made up of connective tissue and epithelium; decreases friction in the heart
the middle layer; consists of cardiac muscle, and is the thickest layer of the heart wall; pumps blood out of heart
chambers
the inner layer; made up of connective tissue and epithelium; continuous with the endothelium of major vessels joining the heart; contains the Purkinje fibers (part of the cardiac conduction system)
Oxygen-poor blood goes into
1.Superior vena cava
- Right atrium
3 Tricuspid valve - Right ventricle
- Pulmonary semilunar valve
- Pulmonary arteries
- Lungs
- Pulmonary vein
- Left arteries
- Bicuspid valve
- Left ventricle
- Aortic semilunar valve
- Aorta
- Systemic veins
- Inferior vena cava
Capillaries
Venules
Arterioles
Veins
Arteries
strong, elastic vessels adapted for carrying high-
pressure blood
usually transport blood away from the heart
blood vessels with the smallest diameter
They connect small arterioles to small venules
They consist only of a layer of endothelium, through which substances are exchanged with tissue cells (diffusion)
Venules leading from capillaries merge to form larger veins, that
return blood to the heart
Veins also function as blood reservoirs
Transports blood under relatively low pressure from a venule to the heart; valves prevent backflow of blood; serves as a blood reservoir
Thinner wall than an artery but with similar layers; the vein middle layer is much thinner; some veins have flaplike valves
Thinner wall than an artery but with three layers; smaller arterioles have an endothelial lining, some smooth muscle tissue, and a small amount of connective tissue
Connects an artery to a capillary; helps control blood flow into a capillary by vasoconstricting or
vasodilating
Blood Pressure (BP)
Force blood exerts against the inner walls of blood vessels
BP exists all through the cardiovascular system
"blood pressure" usually refers to systemic arterial
pressure
Transports blood toward the heart
Veins
Capillaries
Arteries
structure: Thick, strong wall with three layers—an endothelial lining, a middle layer of smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue, and an outer layer of connective tissue
Function:Transports blood under relatively high pressure
from heart to arterioles
Structure: Thinner wall than an artery but with similar
layers;the vein middle layer is much thinner;
some veins have flaplike valves
Function:Transports blood under relatively low pressure
from a venule to the heart; valves prevent backflow of blood; serves as a blood reservoir
Structure: Single layer of squamous epithelium Allows nutrients, gases, and wastes to be

Functions: Allows nutrients, gases, and wastes to be exchanged between the blood and tissue fluid; connects an arteriole to a venule
ABO Blood Group
ABO blood types, including Rh factor, should be the same in the
donor and recipient, if possible
Type A blood has A antigens on RBC membranes and anti-B
antibodies in the plasma
Type B blood has B antigens on RBC membranes and anti-A
antibodies in the plasma
Type O blood has neither antigen on RBC membranes, but both
types of antibodies in the plasma; universal donor
Type AB blood has both A and B antigens on RBC membranes, but
neither type of antibodies in the plasma; universal recipient
Rh Blood group
In humans, group includes several Rh antigens or factors
Most common antigen of the group is Antigen D
Rh blood group was named after the rhesus monkey
If the Rh factor (antigen D) is present on a person’s red blood cells,
the blood is Rh positive; if absent, the blood is Rh negative
There are 2 ways in which an Rh-negative individual can have
contact with Rh-positive blood: a transfusion or pregnancy
If an Rh-negative woman carries an Rh-positive baby, she may be
exposed to the Rh-positive blood during delivery:
The mother will now make anti-Rh antibodies that could attack
the blood of a future Rh-positive baby; this is called erythroblastosis fetalis, or hemolytic disease of the fetus or
newborn
The problem can be prevented by giving the mother the drug,
RhoGAM, a type of anti-Rh antibody that binds to and shields he fetus’s RBCs from the mother’s immune system; this can be given at week 28 of pregnancy, and prevents the mother from producing anti-Rh antibodies
4 chambers
Valves
2 upper chambers called atria (left and right)
2
lower chambers called ventricles (left and right)
tricuspid valve
(bicuspid or mitral) valve
atrioventricular (AV) valve
Pulmonary valve
Aortic valve
Found in entrance to aorta
Prevents blood from moving from the aorta into the left ventricle during ventricular relaxation
Found in opening between left atrium
and left ventricle
Prevents blood from moving from the
left ventricle into the left atrium during
ventricular contraction
Found in entrance to the pulmonary trunk
Prevents blood from moving from the pulmonary trunk into the right ventricle
during ventricular relaxation
Found in Opening between right atrium
and right ventricle
Prevents blood from moving from the
right ventricle into the right atrium
during ventricular contraction
Supplies oxygen and nutrients to tissues
Removes waste from the tissues
Arteries transport blood away from the heart
Veins transport blood toward the heart
Capillaries are vessels that run between arteries and veins
ECG
Electrocardiogram (ECG): a recording of the electrical changes that occur during a cardiac cycle
P Wave: The first wave, which corresponds to the depolarization of the atria; this leads to the contraction of the atria
QRS Complex: Corresponds to the depolarization of ventricles, which leads to contraction of the ventricles; the repolarization of the atria occurs during the QRS complex, but is hidden behind the larger ventricular event
T Wave: Corresponds to ventricular repolarization, and leads to ventricular relaxation
Cardiac cycle
First the atria contract (called atrial systole), while ventricles
relax (called ventricular diastole)
Then the ventricles contract (called ventricular systole), while the atria relax (called atrial diastole)
Then the entire heart relaxes for a brief moment
