Topics in Circulation
1. Need for a Circulatory System
- All living organisms need nutrients, gases, and liquids for growth and body maintenance.
- In unicellular organisms, diffusion and osmosis are enough because the distance is small.
- In multicellular organisms, materials must be transported over long distances, so a special transport system is needed.
2. Heartbeat, Pulse, and Stethoscope
- Pulse is the rhythmic movement felt at the wrist due to blood flow in arteries.
- Pulse rate equals heart beat rate.
- The heart beat sends blood to different parts of the body.
3. Structure of the Heart
- The heart is located between the lungs and protected by the rib cage.
- The heart is approximately the size of a fist.
- The heart is pear shaped and triangular in outline, wider at the anterior end and narrower at the posterior end.
4. Valves, Septa, and Major Blood Vessels
- The atria and ventricles are separated by muscular partitions called septa.
- The openings between atria and ventricles are guarded by valves.
- The tricuspid valve lies between the right atrium and right ventricle.
