The smallest arteries are called __________________________.The ____________________ the largest artery, is about 25 mm in diameter. Arterioles are about 0.2 mm in diameter.Artery walls are ______________, ________________ and _________________ and made of three tissue layers.The inner most layer is the _______________________ – a smooth, thin sheet of tightly packed cells.The middle layer is made of _________________and ______________________.The arteries outer most layer is made up of ____________, ____________________, __________________, and ___________________________ that nourish the artery’s walls. 83375518288000Functions of the Arteries:Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. This blood is normally oxygenated, with the exception of the pulmonary and umbilical arteries.The arterial system is the _____________________________________ of the circulatory system with the pressure varying between the peak pressure during heart contraction, called the systolic pressure, and the minimum, or diastolic pressure between contractions, when the heart expands and refills.The increase in arterial pressure during systole, or ventricular contraction, results in the ____________________________ which is an indicator of __________________________.CAPILLARIESThe capillaries have very ________________ composed of a single layer of endothelial cells.The average diameter is 7/1000 mm – just wide enough to let red blood cells pass __________________________________________The two outermost layers of the arteries disappear and the arterioles branch into a network of capillaries. There are approximately 100,000 km of capillaries in an adult.They provide a great deal of ________________________ that contacts other tissue; more than 6000 square meters allow for a great deal of exchange between blood and the tissues.The capillaries consist of _____________________ alone, the walls being only _______ cell thick.Substances in the blood and substances in the body tissue are ________________________ _______________________________, and not across the walls of arteries and veins.34671010795000Functions of the CapillariesCapillaries function in a group, or a __________________, which is an __________________________________________of capillaries. The _________________ a cell is the ____________________________ that are needed to supply the proper blood flow and exchange of materials. These blood vessels are microscopic, but their presence is viewable at times. When a person blushes, this occurs in the capillaries and turns the cheeks red. This is partially possible because the wall of the capillary is only one cell thick.VEINSAlthough blood is forced into the arteries under pressure, by the time it reaches the capillaries this pressure is ______________________Since the blood pressure in the veins is less than 1/10 of the pressure in the aorta it is obvious that another mechanism must be present for getting blood back to the heart.350393055118000Capillaries reunite to form _________________, which join to form larger and larger ______________, having progressively thicker layers ________________________________ ______________________________________The structure of a vein is similar to that of an artery, except the middle section containing muscle and elastic fiber is ________________ because there is very little blood pressure in it.Veins act as ____________________________ for the flow of blood from the tissues back to the heart.The veins depend largely on the pressure exerted on them by ______________________ to return blood to the heart.Most veins, particularly in the arms and legs have ___________________________ that prevent the backflow of blood into the capillaries. While standing a person unconsciously contracts muscles in his legs to force blood through the leg veins. When blood is not being forced forward in the vein the _________________________ to prevent blood from flowing backwardsFunctions of the VeinsVeins serve to return blood from organs to the heart. Veins are also called "___________________________" because most of the blood volume (60%) is contained within veins. Standing or sitting for a prolonged period of time can cause low venous return from venous pooling. Jet pilots wear pressurized suits to help maintain their venous return and blood pressure.The difference between veins and arteries is their _______________________________ (out of the heart by arteries, returning to the heart for veins), not their oxygen content. One Exception:Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen.Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body.

The heart is a _________________________________ which beats about 72 times and pumps 5 litres of blood every minute. Pumping over ___________________ of blood each day, 35 million litres in the life time of a grade 11 student, your heart provides the ___________________ for the circulatory system. The human heart is really ______________________ working side by side. A thick wall of muscle, called the __________________, separates the hearts right and left sides.Each side is divided into two chambers: ___________________________________.The upper chambers, the _______________, collect blood ______________________ to the heart through veins. The think muscles of their walls push blood a short distance to the lower chambers, the ventricles. The thick, muscular walls of the __________________ contract_________________, pushing blood _____________________ to the _____________and ___________ through arteries.8352431652900The Human Heart Video: STRUCTURE OF THE HEART:FOUR CHAMBERS: two upper chambers called ATRIA two lower chambers called VENTRICLESTHE SEPTUMThe right and left sides of your heart are divided by an _______________________________ called the _____________________. The septum ________________________________________________________________.VALVES in the Heart:There are _____________________________ (4 individual valves) located within the heart. Function is to _____________________________________________________________________.1st set - ___________________________________ (AV valves):located between the ______________________________________flaps of tissue are supported by __________________________________________ to muscles that pull the flaps open.when blood ________________________________, the valves close ________________ valve contains _____________ and is called the ____________________________________ valve contains _____________ and is called the ____________________ (also known as the MITRAL Valve)401637528575002nd set - __________________________________:these valves resemble little pockets or __________________________flaps of tissue located in the arteries that leave the ventricles___________________________________ alone (no muscular control)______________________________ of blood into the heart from the aorta and pulmonary arterieseach valve consists of three half moon cusps attached to the arterial wallsFound at the opening of the ______________________________ is the ___________________________________Found at the opening of the ____________ is the ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.BLOOD FLOW THROUGH THE HEART AND BODYBlood from any body tissue other than the lungs returns to the heart through either one of two veins: ____________________________________________________________. The superior vena cava drains blood from the _____________________________________. The inferior vena cava drains the _______________________________________________. Having come from living and therefore respiring tissues, the blood in these veins is called ______________________, has a _______oxygen content and a _________ carbon dioxide content. Deoxygenated blood passes from the superior and interior vena cava into the __________________ of the heart. A contraction of the atrium forces blood into the lower chamber, the ______________________. The __________________________________ valve between the two chambers prevents the backward flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium. This valve, commonly called the ______________________, consists of _________________ of tissue that together form a more or less funnel-shaped arrangement, the narrow end extending into the ventricle. The ___________________________ in the atrium forces the valve ____________, but when pressure develops in the ventricle, the pressure pushes the flaps against each other, effectively _____________________the opening. A _______________________ of the right ventricle can force blood out only though the ____________________________________, the only artery departing from the right ventricle. Another valve, the _______________________________________, between the right ventricle and the pulmonary truck prevents backflow of blood. Shortly after leaving the right ventricle, the pulmonary trunk branches into the _____________________________________, each of which serves a different __________. In the capillaries of the lungs, _________________________________ releases the ______________________________ received from the body tissues and receives a fresh supply of ___________________________. After passing through the lungs, ____________________________ returns to the _____________by way of the ___________________________, which enter the ___________________. Contraction of this chamber forces blood into the _______________________. Another AV valve, known as the __________________________, between the left atrium and left ventricle prevents the backflow into the left atrium. Contraction of the left ventricle forces blood into the ________________, the largest artery of the body. The ____________________________________ prevents backflow into the left ventricle when the ventricle relaxes. The branches of the aorta carry oxygenated blood to _____________________________________. In the brain, a muscle, a gland, or some other organ the oxygenated blood becomes deoxygenated blood as it _________________________________ and ___________________________________ from the tissues. The venules and veins that drain capillaries carry deoxygenated blood to either the _______________________________________, both of which return blood to the right atrium of the heart. In the human circulatory system, there are two prominent blood circuits: the ________________________________ and the __________________________________.The pulmonary system is concerned with the passage of blood from the heart through the lungs and back to the heart.The systemic system is concerned with the passage of blood from the heart and all other organs (except the lungs) and back to the heart. One complete cycle of the flow of blood through the systemic circuit takes about 90 seconds. The two-circuit arrangement is an efficient circulatory pattern that avoids the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. -163830-2476500THE CARDIAC CYCLE (THE HEARTBEAT)Each heartbeat requires approximately ________________________________________________, although this varies with age, exercise, state of health, and emotion. Unlike other striated muscles, the heart requires no _____________________________to contract. A heart continues to beat if all nerve connections to it are severed. However the nerves serving the heart do control the _______________________________________________________.A single beat of the heart consists of a contraction of the atria followed by a contraction of the ventricles and a period of relaxation of all four chambers of the heart.Contractions are called ___________________, and relaxations are called ___________________.An atrial systole lasts one eight of a second, and permits blood to flow from the _______________ into the ________________________. It is followed by an atrial diastole, lasting seven eights of a second, which allows blood from the ___________________________________________________ and the _________________________________ to enter the __________________. The beginning of the atrial diastole coincides with the beginning of the ventricular systole, which lasts three eights of a second and forces blood into the __________________________________ and the __________________. The ventricular diastole lasts through the atrial systole of the next beat. For half of the beat (half a second) all the chambers of the heart _____________________. The contraction of the heart muscles of the atria and ventricles is initiated by a mass of specialized cells known as the ________________________ (SA node). The SA node is located in the posterior wall of the _________________________, near the entrance of the superior vena cava. The SA node is called the _________________________ because it produces the ______________________ that starts each _________________________. The nerve impulse spreads quickly over both atria, causing the atrial muscles to contract. The impulse reaches a second node, the ________________________(AV node), located in the septum between the ventricles but in contact with the lower portion of the right atrium. The stimulation of the AV node causes never impulses to be sent down the bundle of nerve fibres, known as the ____________________________. The Bundle of His branches into a pair of nerve fibres going down the septum with one going around the base of each ventricle. The impulse started in the SA node and picked up by the AV node reaches the muscles of the ventricles and causes them to contract.THE HEART CYCLE:Each heartbeat has two basic parts: ____________________(di-AS-toe-lee, or relaxation) and atrial and __________________________________ (SIS-toe-lee, or contraction). ____________________________: is the contraction of the heart muscle and blood is being pumped out(emptying of blood)high pressure____________________________:is the relaxation of the heart muscle and blood is flowing into the heart (filling with blood)low pressureSystole or DiastoleWhat is occurring?-both atria contract to finish filling the ventricles-ventricle muscles relax-heart is passively filling with blood again as blood is returned to heart by the veins-AV valves are open and SL valves are closed (“dub”)-both atria are at rest-ventricle muscles are contracting simultaneously-AV valves are closed and SL valves are open (“LUB”)-blood passes into aorta and pulmonary arteryELECTROCARDIOGRAM (EKG or ECG)Video: What is an ECG? 160972567183000If you’ve ever seen the heart test called an ___________________(electrocardiogram), you’ve seen a graphical picture of the electrical activity of your heart.The ______________________ is a record of the electrical activity through the upper heart chambers (atria). The ______________________ is a record of the movement of electrical impulses through the lower heart chambers (ventricles). The______________________ corresponds to the time when the ventricle is contracting but no electricity is flowing through it. The ST segment usually appears as a straight, level line between the QRS complex and the T wave. The ______________________ corresponds to the period when the lower heart chambers are relaxing electrically and preparing for their next muscle contraction.Electrical signals within the heart can be measured and recorded by a machine called an ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH. This recording is then shown as an electrocardiogram. An EKG is a technological device that monitors the heart’s electrical activity.The EKG is an important tool used in ____________________________________. Each _____________________________________in the EKG tracing represents a ________________ ___________________________that takes place during a heartbeat.WHAT IS AN ARRHYTHMIA?An arrhythmia (also referred to as dysrhythmia) is an ___________________________________, which can __________________________________________________.Arrhythmias can cause problems with contractions of the heart chambers by:_________________________________________________________________ because the electrical signal is causing the heart to pump too fast._________________________________________________________________ because the electrical signal is causing the heart to pump too slowly or too irregularly. In any of these situations, the body may not receive enough blood because the heart cannot pump out an adequate amount with each beat as a result of the arrhythmia's effects on the heart rate.?What is an Arrhythmia Video: FIBRILLATION:Is the condition that results when the __________________________________________________ In this situation, the ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.Therefore the heart can only be restored to normal beating by means of ______________________.DEFIBRILLATION: Is the delivery of an __________________________ into the heart muscle. This “shock” stops the uncontrolled electrical activity and allows the heart’s normal pacer to take over.53721014541500What is a defibrillator and how does it work Video: NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTROL OF THE HEART:the _______________________________(SA node) controls _____________________________________________, a portion of the brain called the ____________________________________ regulates the rate of the pacemaker, speeding or slowing its nerve impulses.if the heart beats too _________________, sensory cells in the arteries (aorta) near the heart become stretched.

However, that was a bit embarrassing for many people. So in 1817, a French?doctor named _______________________________ began using a ______________________________________ for the task. The idea caught on, and by the early 1900s, the stethoscope had evolved into its present form with rubber tubes and a metal bell on the end.An acoustic medical device for ____________________________________ of an animal or human body. It is often used to listen to lung and heart sounds. listens for two sounds--_________________________________________. The "lub" is the sound of the first set of heart valves closing The “dub” is the second set closing. In-between the “lub” and “dub”, the heart should be quiet. If it isn't, there might be a problem.also listens for a ____________________________________ heard in-between the lub and dub. This is called a murmur. Murmurs can be caused by a rough edge on a valve. A murmur may tell your doctor that some blood is leaking backward with every beat.It is also used to listen to intestines and blood flow in arteries and veins. In combination with a sphygmomanometer, it is commonly used for measurements of ________________________________.
