Emma J Cervantes Cardiovascular System, Per. 6
Major components and functions of blood
The main components of blood include, plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
As the main functions include transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues, also to form blood clots to prevent excess blood loss.
ABO, Rh blood types
ABO blood
types is based on the absence and presence of red blood cells. The four main blood types in this group are A, B, O, and AB
Rh blood or (Rhesus)
is a type of protein that is found on the surface of red blood cells. If you have these proteins your blood is Rh positive in which is the most common blood type, but if your blood lacks this protein you are Rh negative.
Major functions of the cardiovascular system
The cardiovascular contains the heart and blood vessels. These are important because mainly oxygen as well as nutrients to cells in the body. The cardiovascular system main major function is to supply nutrients and dispose of waste.

Endocardium
Pericardium(epicardium)
Myocardium
Layers of the heart
The outer layer of the heart is the
Epicardium
The middle layer of the heart is the
Myocardium
Lastly the inner layer of the heart is the
Endocardium
Blood flow through the heart and body
First the blood passes through the right atrium, then to the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle.
Structural and functional differences between blood vessel types
Arteries-
Thicker walls which are muscular and elastic to pump blood. -Carry blood under high pressure.
Veins-
Has thin walls with less muscular tissue. -Carry blood under low or negative pressure.
Capillaries-
Are the smallest. Are in tissues found all over the body
Cardiac cycle and the ECG
The atrial pace maker cells to the atrium and then down to the AV bundle to spread through the ventricular myocardial syncytium due to a wave of depolarization.
Major blood vessels
The major blood vessels are
arteries, veins
and
capillaries
. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veins carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all of the body's tissues. lastly capillaries allow oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide and waste products to pass through, to and from the tissue cells.
Vital signs (BP and Pulse)
Vital signs may include- Body temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure. A normal BP and pulse rate would be 120/80.
Disorders of the cardiovascular system
Some diseases/disorders that are associated with the cardiovascular system are heart disease, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, cardiac arrest, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, and some more.
