circulatory system
a system of blood vessels with a pump (heart) and valves to ensure one-way flow of blood.
single circulation
In fish, blood passes through the heart once in each complete circuit of the body.
flow of a single circulation
Heart → gills → body → back to heart
doble circulation
Heart → gills → body → back to heart
advantage of double circulation
Allows higher pressure and more efficient delivery of oxygen to the body.
atria
recieves blood
ventricles
pump blood out
septum
separates left and right side
prevents mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated
valves
prevent backflow of blood
coronary arteries
supply oxygenated blood to heart muscle
muscular wall
-thick
-pumps blood with force
how the heart works
Atria contract ✔️
→ push blood into ventricles
Ventricles contract ✔️
→ pump blood out of heart
Valves close ✔️
→ prevent backflow
monitoring heart activity
-ECG(measure electrical activity)
-Pulse rate(HBPM)
-listening valves(lub-dub)
effect of physical activity on heart rate
heart rate increases during physical activity
why heart rate increases during physical activity?
Muscles need more oxygen and glucose ✔️
More respiration ✔️
Heart pumps faster to deliver these ✔️
coronary heart disease
caused by blockage of the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.
risk factors of coronary heart diesease
Unhealthy diet (high fat) ✔️
Lack of exercise ✔️
Smoking ✔️
Stress ✔️
Genetic factors ✔️
Age and sex ✔️
unhealthy diet CHD
fat builds up in artery walls
causes narrowing/blockage
lack of exercise CHD
less energy used=fats accumulates
heart becomes less efficient
smoking CHD
CO reduces oxygen transport
stress CHD
-hormones raise heart rate
-can damage arteries over time
genetic predisposition CHD
family history increases risk
AGE CHD
risk increases as u get older
gender
males are at higher rick than females
