AHS 100 Chapter 9: The Cardiovascular System- Cardiology
The cardiovascular system is the body’s transport system that
provides nourishment, cleanup services, and communication. There
are two parts to this system: the cardio(heart) and the
vascular(blood vessels). The heart is the pump that squeezes blood
out to the body, and the vessels are the tubes that carry the blood.
Together they transport all manner of essential nutrients, blood
cells, and chemical signals. They also work together to help rid the
body of waste.
9.1 Word Parts of the Cardiovascular System
Heart: the heart is the workhouse of the critical transport
system. It constantly pumps, getting blood to all the places it
needs to go. Heart is divided into four chambers: the left and
right receiving rooms(atria) and left and right sending
rooms(ventricles). Left side of the heart handles oxygen- rich
blood and the right side handled the oxygen- poor blood. A
thick wall of muscle, the septum, divides the left and right sides
Blood constantly cycles between the body and the heart and
collects in the atria. Blood that has nourished the body and is
ready to go to the lungs for more oxygen collects in the right
atrium. After getting a fresh supply of oxygen, blood returns to
the heart via the left atrium. From the atria, blood on both
sides, passes through the one- way doors of the valves into the
ventricles.
In a normal heart, there is no blood flow between the left and
right side. There are connections between the atria and
ventricles, and between the ventricles and the blood vessels.
The connection between each atrium and ventricle is a valve
that allows blood to flow in one direction. The mitral valve
connects the left atrium and ventricle. The aortic valve
connects the left ventricle to the outgoing blood vessel, the
aorta. On the right side, the connector between the atrium and
ventricle is the tricuspid valve. The pulmonary valve connects
the right ventricle and the outgoing blood vessel, the
pulmonary artery.
