CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
-
THE HEART
size & location
-
located mediastinum,
superior to diaphragm
-
-
-
-

-
Tissue Fluid and Lymph
-
lacks large proteins, blood cap filter out
As the protein concentration of tissue fluid increases, colloid osmotic pressure increases
Increasing hydrostatic pressure in interstitial spaces forces some tissue fluid into lymphatic capillaries. This fluid becomes lymph
-
-
Lymphatic pathways
Lymphatic capillaries
microscopic, closed-ended tubes

-
Blood Pressure
-
arterial BP
Systolic pressure occurs when the ventricles contract; diastolic pressure occurs when the ventricles relax.
paths of circulations
-
The systemic circuit is composed of vessels that lead from the left ventricle to all body parts (including vessels supplying the heart itself) and back to the heart
General Characteristics
heart pumps blood
to pulmonary circuit
-
reaches lungs, where blood picks up
oxygen & unloads co2
