•CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
The system that moves blood
throughout the body. The system is
also responsible for the flow of
nutrients, oxygen and other gases,
and as well as hormones to and from
cells.
The circulatory system consists of three independent systems that work
together:

•HEART (CARDIOVASCULAR)
•LUNG (PULMONARY)
•ARTERIES, VEINS, CORONARY
ARTERIES AND PORTAL VEINS
(SYSTEMIC)
HEART
•The heart is a muscular organ in
most animals and humans, which
pumps blood through the blood
vessels of the circulatory system.
HOW DOES THE
HEART WORKS?
•The right atrium receives
oxygen-poor blood from the
body and pumps it to the
right ventricle through the
tricuspid valve.
•The right ventricle pumps
the oxygen-poor blood to the
lungs through the pulmonary
valve.
HOW DOES THE
HEART WORKS?
•The left atrium receives
oxygen-rich blood from the
lungs and pumps it to the
left ventricle through the
mitral valve.
•The left ventricle pumps
the oxygen-rich blood
through the aortic valve
out to the rest of the body.
HOW DOES THE
HEART WORKS?
•The left and right atria are
smaller chambers that pump
blood into the ventricles. The left
and right ventricles are stronger
pumps. The left ventricle is the
strongest because it has to
pump blood out to the entire
body.
LUNGS
•part of the respiratory system, a
group of organs and tissues that
work together to help you breathe.
The respiratory system's main job
is to move fresh air into your body
while removing waste gases.
HOW DOES LUNGS
WORKS?
•When you inhale through your nose or
mouth, air travels down the pharynx (back of
the throat), passes through your larynx (voice
box) and into your trachea (windpipe).

•Your trachea is divided into 2 air passages

called bronchial tubes. One bronchial tube
leads to the left lung, the other to the right
lung.

•The right lung has 3 sections called lobes

and is a little larger than the left lung, which
has 2 lobes. The bronchial tubes divide into
smaller air passages called bronchi, and then
into bronchioles.
HOW DOES LUNGS
WORKS?
•You inhale air into your nose or mouth,
and it travels down the back of your throat
and into your windpipe, or trachea. Your
trachea then divides into air passages
called bronchial tubes.

•As the bronchial tubes pass through the

lungs, they divide into smaller air
passages called bronchioles. The
bronchioles end in tiny balloon-like air
sacs called alveoli. Your body has over
300 million alveoli.

•The alveoli are surrounded by a mesh of

tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Here,
oxygen from the inhaled air passes
through the alveoli walls and into
the blood.
HOW DOES LUNGS
WORKS?
•After absorbing oxygen, the blood leaves
the lungs and is carried to the heart. The
blood then is pumped through your body to
provide oxygen to the cells of your tissues
and organs. When cells use oxygen, carbon
dioxide (CO 2 ) is produced and transferred
to the blood. Your blood carries the CO 2
back to your lungs and it is removed when
you exhale.
ARTERIES
•Any of the muscular-walled tubes forming
part of the circulation system by which blood
(mainly that which has been oxygenated) is
conveyed from the heart to all parts of the
body.
ARTERIES
There are 3 layers of Artery

1. Tunica Adventitia- provides a limiting

barrier, protecting the vessel from
overexpansion.

2. Tunica Media- is made up of smooth

muscle cells, elastic tissue and collagen.

3. Tunica Intima- this ultra-thin design allows

for the exchange of gases and nutrients
through the capillary walls.
VEINS
•Veins are blood vessels that
carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry
deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to
the heart; exceptions are
the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of
which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In
contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away
from the heart.
CORONARY ARTERIES
•are the blood vessels (arteries)
of coronary circulation, which transports
oxygenated blood to the substance of
the heart.

•The heart requires a continuous supply of

oxygen to function and survive, much like any
other tissue or organ of the body.
The coronary arteries wrap around the
entire heart.
PORTAL VEINS
• is a blood vessel that carries blood from the
gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder, pancreas
and spleen to the liver.

•This blood contains nutrients and toxins

extracted from digested contents.
Approximately 75% of total liver blood flow is
through the portal vein, with the remainder
coming from the hepatic artery proper. The
blood leaves the liver to the heart in
the hepatic veins.

•The portal vein is not a true vein, because it

conducts blood to capillary beds in the liver
and not directly to the heart. It is a major
component of the hepatic portal system, one
of only two portal venous systems in the body
