General circulatory system
- 2 circuits: pulmonary and systemic
- Blood vessels take blood to heart, and to lungs from the heart
- In lungs: gas exchange, blood is oxygenated and CO2 removed from lungs
- Blood goes back to left side of heart and leaves heart to go to rest of body
Pulmonary circuit
- Smaller circuit
- Small pathway through which blood vessels travel
- Delivers deoxygenated blood to lungs for exchange of CO2 for O2 and returns
deoxygenated blood to heart
Systemic circuit
- Rest of body
- Where all oxygenated blood goes through all capillaries except capillaries supplying
lungs
- Delivers O2 blood to all body parts and returns deoxygenated blood to heart
Heart
- Referred to as left and right heart
- Superior and Inferior Vena Cavas are major vessels that return blood to heart
- Pulmonary vein and coronary sinus ( has deoxygenated blood - veins has deoxygenated
blood) return blood to heart
- coronary sinus is a major vein
- great cardiac vein goes up interventricular septum, around coronary sulcus and empties into
coronary sinus
- most cardiac veins empty into coronary sinus (1 or 2 empty directly into right atrium)
- coronary sinus return blood to right atrium: right ventricle (via tricuspid valve) - semilunar
valves - pulmonary trunk - pulmonary artery - lungs
- Pulmonary veins to pulmonary artery: bicuspid valve - left ventricle - aorta
Capillaries
- Most important part of circulatory system
- Allow food and nutrient to get into tissues
- Allow tissues to remove CO2 and other waste products into veins

Arteries
- Arterioles
- Smallest arteries that connect to capillary beds
- Allow CO2/O2 exchange to happen
- Come from arteries with oxygenated blood
- Involved in vasoconstriction and vasodilation b/c arteriole walls are muscle
- Venule
- Smallest vein leaving capillary bed
Pericardial membrane
- Fibrous layer anchors heat in place and is connected to diaphragm
-----------------------------
- Capillaries are endothelial cells
- When exchange happens in tissues, material return to heart via veins
- Blood leaves heart via arteries
- Arteries - oxygenated blood
- Capillaries - deoxygenated blood
- Exception - pulmonary system
- Arteries - deoxygenated blood
- Capillaries - oxygenated blood
- Coronary sinus
- Special veins, thin walls
- Only collects blood from coronary circuit
- Function of valves
- Prevent backflow
- Ex. AV valve
- Stenosis - valves don’t open fully
- Causes of pulmonary edema
- Simple squamous cell that lines cavities (pericardial membrane)
- Mesothelium
- Ex. mesothelioma - pleural membrane becomes cancerous

Document Summary

Blood vessels take blood to heart, and to lungs from the heart. In lungs: gas exchange, blood is oxygenated and co2 removed from lungs. Blood goes back to left side of heart and leaves heart to go to rest of body. Small pathway through which blood vessels travel. Delivers deoxygenated blood to lungs for exchange of co2 for o2 and returns deoxygenated blood to heart. Where all oxygenated blood goes through all capillaries except capillaries supplying lungs. Delivers o2 blood to all body parts and returns deoxygenated blood to heart. Referred to as left and right heart. Superior and inferior vena cavas are major vessels that return blood to heart. Pulmonary vein and coronary sinus ( has deoxygenated blood - veins has deoxygenated blood) return blood to heart. Great cardiac vein goes up interventricular septum, around coronary sulcus and empties into coronary sinus. Most cardiac veins empty into coronary sinus (1 or 2 empty directly into right atrium)
