Physical Characteristics of Blood
• Color range–Oxygen-rich blood is scarlet red–Oxygen-poor blood is dull red
• pH must remain between 7.35–7.45• Blood temperature is slightly higher
than body temperature

Plasma Proteins
• Albumin – regulates osmotic pressure
• Clotting proteins – help to stop blood loss when a blood vessel is injured
• Antibodies – help protect the body from antigens

Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells)
• The main function is to carry oxygen• Contains hemoglobin• Anatomy of circulating erythrocytes–Biconcave disks–Essentially bags of hemoglobin–Anucleate (no nucleus)–Contain very few organelles
• 4 - 6 million per mm3 of blood
![Page 10: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hemoglobin
• Iron-containing protein• Binds strongly, but reversibly, to
oxygen• Each hemoglobin molecule has four
oxygen binding sites• Each erythrocyte has 250 million
hemoglobin molecules
![Page 11: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Homeostatic Imbalance
• Anemia – decrease in oxygen-carrying ability of blood• May be caused by:
– Low red blood cell count (RBC)– Abnormal or deficient hemoglobin– Lack of B12 or intrinsic factor– Lack of iron– Cancer
• Sickle cell anemia – genetically defective hemoglobin
• Polycythemia – abnormal increase in RBC– May be from bone marrow cancer or living at high
altitudes– Causes increased viscosity of blood

Sickle Cell Anemia
![Page 13: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Leukocytes (White Blood Cells)
• Crucial in the body’s defense against disease
• These are complete cells, with a nucleus and organelles
• Able to move into and out of blood vessels (diapedesis)
• Can move by ameboid motion• Can respond to chemicals released
by damaged tissues
![Page 14: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Leukocyte Levels in the Blood
• Normal levels are between 4,000 and 11,000 cells per mm3
• Abnormal leukocyte levels– Leukocytosis• Above 11,000 leukocytes/ml• Generally indicates an infection• Could indicate leukemia (WBC cancer)
– Leukopenia• Abnormally low leukocyte level• Commonly caused by certain drugs
![Page 15: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Platelets
• Derived from ruptured cells• Needed for the clotting process• Normal platelet count is 250,000 -
500,000/mm3
![Page 16: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hematopoiesis
• Blood cell formation• Occurs in red bone marrow• All blood cells are derived from a
common stem cell (hemocytoblast)• Hemocytoblast differentiation–Lymphoid stem cell produces
lymphocytes–Myeloid stem cell produces other
formed elements
![Page 17: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Fate of Erythrocytes
• Unable to divide, grow, or synthesize proteins
• Wear out in 100 to 120 days• When worn out, are eliminated by
phagocytes in the spleen or liver• Lost cells are replaced by division of
hemocytoblasts
![Page 18: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Control of Erythrocyte Production
• Rate is controlled by a hormone (erythropoietin)
• Kidneys produce most erythropoietin as a response to reduced oxygen levels in the blood
• Homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback from blood oxygen levels
![Page 19: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Control of Erythrocyte Production
![Page 20: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hemostasis
• Stoppage of blood flow• Result of a break in a blood vessel• Hemostasis involves three phases–Platelet plug formation–Vascular spasms–Coagulation
![Page 21: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hemostasis – blooding clotting
![Page 22: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Platelet Plug Formation
• Collagen fibers are exposed by a break in a blood vessel
• Platelets become “sticky” and cling to fibers
• Anchored platelets release chemicals to attract more platelets
• Platelets pile up to form a platelet plug
![Page 23: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Vascular Spasms
• Anchored platelets release serotonin• Serotonin causes blood vessel
muscles to spasm• Spasms narrow the blood vessel,
decreasing blood loss
![Page 24: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Coagulation
• Injured tissues release thromboplastin
• PF3 (a phospholipid) interacts with thromboplastin, blood protein clotting factors, and calcium ions to trigger a clotting cascade
• Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin (an enzyme)
• Thrombin joins fibrinogen proteins into hair-like fibrin
• Fibrin forms a meshwork (the basis for a clot)
![Page 25: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Blood Clotting
• Blood usually clots within 3 to 6 minutes
• The clot remains as endothelium regenerates
• The clot is broken down after tissue repair
![Page 26: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Fibrin Clot
![Page 27: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Undesirable Clotting
• Thrombus–A clot in an unbroken blood vessel–Can be deadly in areas like the
heart• Embolus–A thrombus that breaks away and
floats freely in the bloodstream–Can later clog vessels in critical
areas such as the brain
![Page 28: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Bleeding Disorders
• Thrombocytopenia–Platelet deficiency–Even normal movements can
cause bleeding from small blood vessels that require platelets for clotting
• Hemophilia–Hereditary bleeding disorder–Normal clotting factors are
missing
![Page 29: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Blood Groups and Transfusions
• Large losses of blood have serious consequences–Loss of 15 to 30 percent causes
weakness–Loss of over 30 percent causes
shock, which can be fatal• Transfusions are the only way to
replace blood quickly• Transfused blood must be of the
same blood group
![Page 30: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Human Blood Groups
• Blood contains genetically determined proteins
• A foreign protein (antigen) may be attacked by the immune system
• Blood is “typed” by using antibodies that will cause blood with certain proteins to clump (agglutination)
![Page 31: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Human Blood Groups
• There are over 30 common red blood cell antigens
• The most vigorous transfusion reactions are caused by ABO and Rh blood group antigens
![Page 32: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ABO Blood Groups
• Based on the presence or absence of two antigens–Type A (only A antigen)–Type B (only B antigen)–Type AB (both A and B antigen)–Type O (neither A or B)
![Page 33: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Rh Blood Groups
• Named because of the presence or absence of one of eight Rh antigens (agglutinogen D)
• Most Americans are Rh+
• Problems can occur in mixing Rh+ blood into a body with Rh– blood
![Page 34: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Rh Dangers During Pregnancy
• Danger is only when the mother is Rh– and the father is Rh+, and the child inherits the Rh+ factor
• The mismatch of an Rh– mother carrying an Rh+ baby can cause problems for the unborn child– The first pregnancy usually proceeds
without problems– The immune system is sensitized after
the first pregnancy– In a second pregnancy, the mother’s
immune system produces antibodies to attack the Rh+ blood (hemolytic disease of the newborn)
![Page 35: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Developmental Aspects of Blood
• Sites of blood cell formation–The fetal liver and spleen are early
sites of blood cell formation–Bone marrow takes over
hematopoiesis by the seventh month
• Fetal hemoglobin differs from hemoglobin produced after birth
![Page 36: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
![Page 37: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Cardiovascular System
• A closed system of the heart and blood vessels–The heart pumps blood–Blood vessels allow blood to
circulate to all parts of the body• The function of the cardiovascular
system is to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove carbon dioxide and other waste products
![Page 38: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Heart

![Page 40: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Heart: Coverings
• Pericardium – a double serous membrane–Visceral pericardium• Next to heart
–Parietal pericardium• Outside layer
• Serous fluid fills the space between the layers of pericardium
• Pericarditis – inflammation of pericardium, which causes a decrease in serous fluid
![Page 41: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Heart: Heart Wall
• Three layers– Epicardium• Outside layer• This layer is the parietal pericardium• Connective tissue layer
– Myocardium• Middle layer• Mostly cardiac muscle
– Endocardium• Inner layer• Endothelium
![Page 42: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

The Heart: Chambers
• Right and left side act as separate pumps
• Four chambers–Atria• Receiving chambers–Right atrium–Left atrium
–Ventricles• Discharging chambers–Right ventricle–Left ventricle
![Page 44: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Blood Circulation
![Page 45: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Heart: Valves
• Allow blood to flow in only one direction• Four valves–Atrioventricular valves – between
atria and ventricles• Bicuspid valve or mitral (left)• Tricuspid valve (right)
–Semilunar valves between ventricle and artery• Pulmonary semilunar valve• Aortic semilunar valve
![Page 46: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Heart: Valves
• Valves open as blood is pumped through
• Held in place by chordae tendineae (“heart strings”)
• Close to prevent backflow
![Page 47: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

The Heart: Associated Great Vessels
• Aorta–Leaves left ventricle
• Pulmonary arteries–Leave right ventricle
• Vena cava–Enters right atrium
• Pulmonary veins (four)–Enter left atrium
![Page 49: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Coronary Circulation
• Blood in the heart chambers does not nourish the myocardium
• The heart has its own nourishing circulatory system–Coronary arteries–Cardiac veins–Blood empties into the right
atrium via the coronary sinus
![Page 50: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Homeostatic Imbalance
• Valvular stenosis – valve flaps become stiff, often from endocarditis (bacterial infection of endocardium)
• Faulty valves may be replaced by synthetic or pig valves
• Angina pectoris – chest pain as a result of the myocardium being deprived of oxygen
• Myocardial infarction (heart attack) – prolonged angina that kills heart cells
![Page 51: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The Heart: Conduction System
• Intrinsic conduction system (nodal system)–Heart muscle cells contract,
without nerve impulses, in a regular and continuous way
![Page 52: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Heart: Conduction System
• Special tissue sets the pace• Sinoatrial node or pacemaker– In right atrium–Starts impulse
• Atrioventricular node–At junction of right atrium and
ventricle• Atrioventricular bundle – In interventricular septum
• Bundle branches• Purkinje fibers– In wall of ventricles

![Page 55: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Homeostatic Imbalance
• Heart block – damage to AV node causing ventricular contraction to beat at own rate (much slower)
• Ischemia – lack of adequate blood supply to heart muscle
• Fibrillation – rapid uncoordinated shuddering of heart muscle (caused by ischemia)
• Tachycardia – rapid heart rate (over 100 bpm)
• Brachycardia – much slower rate (under 60 bpm)
![Page 56: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The Heart: Cardiac Cycle
• Atria contract simultaneously• Atria relax, then ventricles contract• Systole = contraction• Diastole = relaxation
![Page 57: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The Heart: Cardiac Cycle
• Cardiac cycle – events of one complete heart beat–Mid-to-late diastole – blood flows into
ventricles–Ventricular systole – blood pressure
builds before ventricle contracts, pushing out blood
– Early diastole – atria finish re-filling, ventricular pressure is low
• Heart sounds – lub (closing AV valves) dub (semilunar valves close)
![Page 58: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
• Heart murmur – abnormal or unusual heart sounds–From blood hitting thin walls–Valves not closing tightly–Narrowed valves
![Page 59: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The Heart: Cardiac Output
• Cardiac output (CO)–Amount of blood pumped by each
side of the heart in one minute–CO = (heart rate [HR]) x (stroke
volume [SV])• Stroke volume–Volume of blood pumped by each
ventricle in one contraction
![Page 60: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Cardiac Output Regulation
![Page 61: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The Heart: Regulation of Heart Rate
• Stroke volume usually remains relatively constant–Starling’s law of the heart – the
more that the cardiac muscle is stretched, the stronger the contraction
• Changing heart rate is the most common way to change cardiac output
![Page 62: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The Heart: Regulation of Heart Rate
• Increased heart rate– Sympathetic nervous system• Crisis• Low blood pressure
–Hormones• Epinephrine• Thyroxine
– Exercise–Decreased blood volume
![Page 63: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
The Heart: Regulation of Heart Rate
• Decreased heart rate–Parasympathetic nervous system–High blood pressure or blood
volume–Dereased venous return
![Page 64: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Homeostatic Imbalance
• Congestive heart failure – pumping efficiency of heart is diminished–Often from clogging of coronary
arteries (atherosclerosis), persistent high blood pressure, and MI
• Pulmonary edema – left side of heart fails so blood not pumped out to body, but blood continues to move into lungs causing fluid to leak into lungs–Can lead to suffocation
![Page 65: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Blood Vessels: The Vascular System
• Taking blood to the tissues and back–Arteries (away from heart)–Arterioles–Capillaries–Venules–Veins (toward heart)
![Page 66: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
The Vascular System
![Page 67: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Differences Between Blood Vessel Types
• Walls of arteries are the thickest• Lumens of veins are larger• Skeletal muscle “milks” blood in
veins toward the heart• Walls of capillaries are only one cell
layer thick to allow for exchanges between blood and tissue
![Page 68: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Movement of Blood Through Vessels
• Most arterial blood is pumped by the heart
• Veins use the milking action of muscles to help move blood
![Page 69: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Capillary Beds
• Capillary beds consist of two types of vessels–Vascular shunt
– directly connects an arteriole to a venule
![Page 70: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Capillary Beds
• True capillaries – exchange vessels•Oxygen and nutrients cross to cells• Carbon dioxide and metabolic waste products cross into blood
![Page 71: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Homeostatic Imbalance
• Varicose veins – pooling of blood in feet and legs and inefficient venous return resulting from inactivity or pressure on the veins; veins become twisted and dilated
• Thrombophlebitis – inflammation of vein that results when clot forms in a vessel with poor circulation; if the clot moves to the lungs it causes a pulmonary embolism

Pulse
• Pulse – pressure wave of blood
• Monitored at “pressure points” where pulse is easily palpated
![Page 79: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Blood Pressure
• Measurements by health professionals are made on the pressure in large arteries–Systolic – pressure at the peak of
ventricular contraction–Diastolic – pressure when ventricles
relax• Pressure in blood vessels decreases as
the distance away from the heart increases

Factors Determining Blood Pressure
![Page 85: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Variations in Blood Pressure
• Human normal range is variable–Normal• 140–110 mm Hg systolic• 80–75 mm Hg diastolic
–Hypotension• Low systolic (below 110 mm HG)• Often associated with illness
–Hypertension• High systolic (above 140 mm HG)• Can be dangerous if it is chronic; weakens myocardium and causes atherosclerosis
![Page 86: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Capillary Exchange
• Substances exchanged due to concentration gradients–Oxygen and nutrients leave the
blood–Carbon dioxide and other wastes
leave the cells
![Page 87: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Capillary Exchange: Mechanisms
• Direct diffusion across plasma membranes
• Endocytosis or exocytosis• Some capillaries have gaps
(intercellular clefts)–Plasma membrane not joined by
tight junctions• Fenestrations of some capillaries–Fenestrations = pores
![Page 88: BLOOD. Blood The only fluid tissue in the human body Classified as a connective tissue – Living cells = formed elements – Non-living matrix = plasma.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e385503460f94b2896a/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Developmental Aspects of the Cardiovascular System
• A simple “tube heart” develops in the embryo and pumps by the fourth week
• The heart becomes a four-chambered organ by the end of seven weeks
• Few structural changes occur after the seventh week
