Plasma
•
•
•
•
•
~91% water, 7% proteins, 1.5 % other solutes
Proteins: Albumin (54%)- osmosis and carriers;
Globulins (38%)- antibodies
Fibrinogen (7%)- clotting

–
A. granular Leukocytes
1. Neutrophils
2. Eosinophils
3. Basophils
–
B. Agranular leukocytes
1. T & B lymphocytes & natural Killer cells
2. monocytes
III Platelets
Formation of Blood Cells
• Called hemopoiesis
• Just before birth and throughout life occurs
in red bone marrow
• Contains pluripotent stem cells
• In response to specific hormones these
develop through a series of changes to form
all of the blood cells
Figure 14.2a
Figure 14.2b
Erythrocytes (RBCs)
• Hemoglobin package- carries oxygen
– Also carries some CO2
• Male has ~ 5.4 million cells/µl; Female has ~4.8
million
• membrane, no nucleus, flexible structure
• use glucose for ATP production to maintain ionic
composition
– No mitochondria
• Wear out fast- live ~120 days
RBC Cycling
• cleared by macrophages (liver & Spleen)
• Fe- recycled in bone marrow
– Carried in blood on transferrin
• Heme bilirubin and excreted (bile)
• Globin A.A. recycled.
Figure 14.3
RBC Synthesis
• called erythropoiesis
• From stem cells: hemocytoblasts
• Released as reticulocytes
– Mature to erythrocytes in 1-2 days
•
•
•
•
Production & destruction is balanced
Low O2 delivery (hypoxia) 
erythropoietin release (EPO) from kidney
Stimulates erythropoiesis
Figure 14.4
White Blood Cells
• Defenses: phagocytes, antibody production and
antibacterial action
• Phagocytes:
– Neutrophil- first responders
– Monocytes macrophages (big eaters)
– Eosinophil- phagocitize antibody-antigen complexes Involved in
suppressing allergic responses
– Basophil- intensify allergic reactions
• Immune response:
– T-cells, B-cells& natural killer (NK) cells
WBC Life Span
•
•
•
•
•
5000-10,00 WBC /µl blood
Limited number of bacteria can be eaten
Life span is a few days
During active infection may be hours
Leukocytosis= increased WBC numbers
response to stresses
• Leukopenia = decreased WBC numbers
Platelets
• Myeloid stem cells  megakaryocytes 
2000 -3000 fragments = platelets
• Plug damaged blood vessels
• Promote blood clotting
• Life span 5-9 days
Hemostasis
• Hemostasis = stationary blood
• 1. Vascular reactions (spasm)
– Response to damage
– Quick reduction of blood loss
• 2. platelet plug formation
– Become sticky when contact damaged vessel wall
• 3. blood clotting (coagulation)
– Series of chemical reactions involving clotting factors
• Clotting in unbroken vessel= thrombosis
Coagulation
• Extrinsic pathway common steps
– tissue factor(TF) from damaged cells 1
• Intrinsic Pathway  common steps
– Materials “intrinsic” to blood 1
• 1. prothrombinase which causes
• 2. prothrombin thrombin causes
• 3. fibrinogen  fibrin  clot
Clot Retraction & Vessel Repair
•
•
•
•
•
Clot pugs ruptured area
Gradually contracts (retraction)
Pulls sides of wound together
Fibroblasts replace connective tissue
epithelial cells repair lining
Control Mechanisms
• Fibrinolysis: dissolving of clot by activated
plasmin enclosed in clot
• Clots can be triggered by roughness on
vessel wall = thrombosis
• Loose clot = embolus and can block a small
vessel = embolism
Figure 14.5
Blood Types
• Surface antigens- react with antibodies
• Divided into groups based on antigens
– > 24 blood groups and > 100 different antigens
• We will deal with ABO and Rh groups
ABO Group
•
•
•
•
•
Two antigens = A & B
If have only A –type A
If have only B –type B
If neither then Type O
Blood usually has antibodies that can react with
antigens
– e.g. anti-A antibody or anti-B antibody
• You don’t react with your own antigens
– Thus: type A has anti-B and vice versa
Figure 14.6
Rh Blood Group
•
•
•
•
Antigen discovered in rhesus monkey
If have antigen- Rh+
Normally don’t have antibodies
antibodies develop after the first exposure
from transfusion
Transfusions
• If mismatched blood given antibodies bind to it and
hemolyze cells
• Type AB has no AB antibodies so can receive any
ABO type blood called Universal recipients
• Type O have neither antigen so can donate to any
other ABO type called Universal donors
• Misleading because of many other blood groups
that must be matched
The Cardiovascular system:
Heart
Chapter 15
Location
• Thoracic cavity between two lungs
– ~2/3 to left of midline
• surrounded by pericardium:
• Fibrous pericardium– Inelastic and anchors heart in place
• Inside is serous pericardium- double layer around
heart
– Parietal layer fused to fibrous pericardium
– Inner visceral layer adheres tightly to heart
– Filled with pericardial fluid- reduces friction during beat.
Figure 15.1
Heart Wall
• Epicardium- outer layer
• Myocardium- cardiac muscle
– Two separate networks via gap junctions in
intercalated discs- atrial & ventricular
– Networks- contract as a unit
• Endocardium- Squamous epithelium
– lines inside of myocardium
Figure 15.2a
Figure 15.2b
Figure 15.2c
Chambers
• 4 chambers
• 2 upper chambers= Atria
– Between is interatrial septum
– Contains fossa ovalis- remnant of foramen ovalis
• 2 lower chambers = ventricles
– Between is interventricular septum
• Wall thickness depends on work load
– Atria thinnest
– Right ventricle pumps to lungs & thinner than left
Great Vessels Of Heart- Right
• Superior & inferior Vena Cavae
– Delivers deoxygenated blood to R. atrium from
body
– Coronary sinus drains heart muscle veins
•
•
•
•
R. Atrium  R. Ventricle
pumps through Pulmonary Trunk
R & L pulmonary arteries
 lungs
Great Vessels Of Heart-Left
• Pulmonary Veins from lungs
– oxygenated blood
• L. atrium Left ventricle
• ascending aorta body
• Between pulmonary trunk & aortic arch is
ligamentum arteriosum
• fetal ductus arteriosum remnant
Figure 15.3a
Figure 15.3b
Figure 15.3c
Valves
• Designed to prevent back flow in response to
pressure changes
• Atrioventricular (AV) valves
– Between atria and ventricles
• Right = tricuspid valve (3 cusps)
• Left = bicuspid or mitral valve
• Semilunar valves near origin of aorta &
pulmonary trunk
• Aortic & pulmonary valves respectively
Figure 15.4ab
Figure 15.4c
Figure 15.4d
Figure 15.5a
Figure 15.5b
Blood Supply Of Heart
• Blood flow through vessels in myocardium
= coronary circulation
• L. & Right coronary arteries
– branch from aorta
– branch to carry blood throughout muscle
• Deoxygenated blood collected by Coronary
Sinus (posterior)
• Empties into R. Atrium
Conduction System
• 1% of cardiac muscle generate action
potentials= Pacemaker & Conduction system
• Normally begins at sinoatrial (SA) node
• Atria & atria contract
• AV node -slows
• AV bundle (Bundle of His)
• bundle branches Purkinje fibers
•  apex and up- then ventricles contract
Pacemaker
•
•
•
•
•
•
Depolarize spontaneously
sinoatrial node ~100times /min
also AV node ~40-60 times/min
in ventricle ~20-35 /min
Fastest one run runs the heart = pacemaker
Normally the sinoatrial node
Figure 15.6
Electrocardiogram
• Recording of currents from cardiac conduction on
skin = electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG)
• P wave= atrial depolarization
– Contraction begins right after peak
– Repolarization is masked in QRS
• QRS complex= Ventricular depolarization
– Contraction of ventricle
• T-wave = ventricular repolarization
– Just after ventricles relax
Figure 15.7
Cardiac Cycle
• after T-wave ventricular diastole
– Ventricular pressure drops below atrial & AV valves open 
ventricular filling occurs
• After P-wave atrial systole
– Finishes filling ventricle (`25%)
• After QRS ventricular systole
– Pressure pushes AV valves closed
– Pushes semilunar valves open and ejection occurs
– Ejection until ventricle relaxes enough for arterial pressure to
close semilunar valves
Action Potential
•
•
•
•
•
Review muscle
Heart has addition of External Ca2+
creates a plateau
prolonged depolarized period.
Can not go into tetanus.
Figure 15.8
Flow Terms
• Cardiac Output (CO) = liters/min pumped
• Heart Rate (HR) = beats/minute (bpm)
• Stroke volume (SV) = volume/beat
•
CO = HR x SV
Controls- Stroke Volume (S.V.)
• Degree of stretch = Frank-Starling law
– Increase diastolic Volume increases strength of
contraction increased S.V.
– Increased venous return  increased S.V.
• increased sympathetic activity
• High back pressure in artery  decreased S.V.
– Slows semilunar valve opening
Controls- Heart Rate
• Pacemaker adjusted by nerves
– Cardiovascular center in Medulla
• parasympathetic- ACh slows
– Via vagus nerve
• Sympathetic - norepinephrine speeds
• Sensory input for control:
– baroreceptors (aortic arch & carotid sinus)- B.P.
– Chemoreceptors- O2, CO2, pH
Other Controls
• Hormones:
– Epinephrine & norepinephrine increase H.R.
– Thyroid hormones stimulate H.R.
– Called tachycardia
• Ions
– Increased Na+ or K+ decrease H.R. & contraction force
– Increased Ca2+ increases H.R. & contraction force
Figure 15.9
Exercise
• Aerobic exercise (longer than 20 min)
strengthens cardiovascular system
• Well trained athlete doubles maximum
C.O.
• Resting C.O. about the same but resting
H.R. decreased

Blood Vessels and Circulation
Chapter 16
Blood Vessels
•
Arteries- from heart
1. Elastic => large
2. Muscular => distribution to organs
3. Arterioles => distribution to capillaries- mostly
muscle
•
•
Capillaries- thin walled for diffusion
Veins- to heart
1. Venules => from capillaries
2. Veins from tissue to vena cavae to heart
Figure 16.1ab
Figure 16.1c
Blood Vessel Structure
• Three layers
• Arteries-> thicker tunica media
– Elastic tissue and/or muscle
– As they get smaller-> more muscle
– Arterioles-> very muscular- control
• Veins- bigger lumen and thinner walls
• Veins-> valves to prevent backflow
– Venules very thin, no valves
Vessel Functions
• Muscular arteries & arterioles regulate flow
• Sympathetic activity to smooth muscle
vasoconstriction (narrowing)
• Decreased sympathetic activity or NO causes
relaxation or dilation
• Arterioles adjust flow into capillaries
• Systemic veins & venules serve as blood
reservoirs (~64% total blood volume)
Capillary Details
• Capillaries only have endothelium
– Very thin cells & cell nuclei protrude into
lumen- easy diffusion
• Connected from arterioles to venules in
networks
– Sometimes direct route from arteriole to venule
• Filling controlled by small arterioles &
precapillary sphincters
Figure 16.2a
Figure 16.2b
Capillary Exchange
• Slow flow through capillaries
– Allows time for exchange through wall
• Blood pressure 
– filtration of fluid out of capillary
– Mostly in first ½ of vessel length
• Osmosis (protein concentration)
– Reabsorption of fluid from outside to inside
– Mostly in last ½ of vessel length
• Balance determines fluid in circulation
– Excess fluid returned via lymphatic system
– Local signals can adjust capillary flow
Figure 16.3
Venous Return
• Blood enters veins at very low pressure.
• Needs more pumping to get back to heart
• = action of heart; muscle pumps; respiratory
pump
• Some pressure from heart action
• Not enough to overcome gravity
Muscle & Respiratory Pumps
• Contracting skeletal muscles squeeze veins
emptying them
• Because of venous valves flow is toward heart
• Respiratory pump has similar action
• Inhalation decreased thoracic pressure &
increased abdominal pressure
– Blood flows toward heart
• Exhalation allows refilling of abdominal veins
Figure 16.4
Blood Flow
• from high pressure area to lower pressure area, i.e. down pressure
gradient
– Greater gradient greater flow
• Ventricular contraction blood pressure (BP)
– Highest in aorta and declines as flows through vessels
– 110-70 mmHg in aorta ~16 mmHg at venules
–  0 at R. Atrium
• Resistance= opposition to flow
• depends on lumen diameter & length & blood viscosity
– Smaller lumen  greater resistance
– Higher viscosity greater resistance
– viscosity of blood depends on Hct
Resistance
• Depends on vessel lumen diameter
– Smaller lumen  greater resistance
• And blood viscosity
– Higher viscosity greater resistance
– viscosity of blood depends on Hct
• And total vessel length
– Longer the length of flow the more friction with wall
– Total body resistance increases with growth and
addition of tissue
Anatomical Design
• Length and pressure
• Design and local flow control- central
pressure
Pressure Gradients
• Adult anatomy gives constant length
• If central blood pressure is controlled it is
constant
• Only variable is radius of the arterioles
• Each tissue can do it separately
• Review design in picture below
– All tissues have the same pressure gradient
Pressure Gradients (Cont.)
• Note pulse in aorta & large arteries
– MAP
• pressure fall related to resistance
– Note role of arterioles
• Note low venous pressures
– can’t get back to the heart!

Checking Circulation- Pulse
• Pulse in arteries = HR
– Use radial artery at wrist,
– carotid artery,
– brachial artery
• Tachycardia = rapid rest rate (>100 bpm)
• Bradycardia= slow rest rate (<50 bpm)
Blood Pressure
• Use sphygmomanometer
– Usually on brachial artery
• Raise pressure above systolic– stop flow
• Lower pressure in cuff until flow just starts
– first sound  Systolic Pressure
• Lower until sound suddenly gets faint
– Diastolic pressure
• Normal values <120 mmHg for systolic & < 80
mmHg for diastolic
Circulatory Routes
• Two parts: Systemic & Pulmonary
• Systemic circulation- throughout body
– Oxygenated blood deoxygenated as it goes
• All systemic arteries branch from aorta
• All systemic veins empty into Superior
