 What is the
cardiovascular
system?
The cardiovascular system
consists of the heart, blood
vessels, and the
approximately 5 liters of Responsible for transporting
blood that the blood oxygen, nutrients, hormones,
vessels transport. and cellular waste products
throughout the body
 BLOOD
The blood is made up of liquid and
solids.

The liquid part The solid part

Called plasma; is Contains:

over half of the
blood. • Red blood cells
Contains: • White blood
cells
• Water
• Platelets
• Salts

 TYPES OF CIRCULATION

MINOR CIRCULATION

the right side of the heart

pumps blood lacking
oxygen, which comes from
the tissues and reaches it
through the superior vena
cava and the inferior vena
cava, into the lungs, where
it is oxygenated.
GREATER
CIRCULATION

the left side receives the

oxygenated blood from the
lungs, through the
pulmonary veins, and
pushes it through the
arteries to all tissues of the
body
 Arteries and Arterioles
1. Arteries
• Vessels whose walls are
formed by three layers
(inner layer or endothelium,
middle layer and outer layer
or adventitia), with a
predominance of muscle
fibers and elastic fibers in
the middle layer.
 Classification of the arteries
• Elastic Arteries: Greater
proportion of elastic fibers in its
middle layer and its walls are
relatively thin in relation to its
diameter.
• Muscle Arteries: They are those
of intermediate caliber and their
middle layer contains more
smooth muscle and less elastic
fibers
 Arterioles
• Arteries of small caliber whose function is to regulate the flow to the
capillaries. The wall of the arterioles has a large amount of muscle
fibers that allow to vary its caliber and, therefore, the blood supply to
the capillary bed.
 CAPILLARIES
Capillaries are the smallest and thinnest of
the blood vessels in the body and the
most common.

Also distribute the nutrients and

oxygen to the body's tissues and
remove deoxygenated blood and
waste.

The walls of capillaries consist of only a

thin layer of endothelium
TYPES
CONTINUOUS FENESTRATED SINUSOID

- Muscle, nervous - Pancreas

- Bone marrow
and connective - Intestine
- Liver
tissue - Endocrine glands
- Spleen
- Lungs - Kidneys
 VEINS
Veins are blood vessels that
carry blood toward the heart. In
contrast to veins, arteries carry
blood away from the heart. Veins
are less muscular than arteries and
are often closer to the skin. There
are valves in most veins to
prevent backflow.
Venous
system
• The largest veins in the human
body are the venae cavae. These
are two large veins which enter
the right atrium of the heart from
above and below. The superior
vena cava carries blood from the
arms and head to the right atrium
of the heart, while the inferior
vena cava carries blood from the
legs and abdomen to the heart.
