Let’s see closer Do you remember cell? What characteristics of life find in the cell?
Activities of the cell Can you name activities of the cell and what they require and released?
Transport system in mammals Blood vessel Heart Blood
Transport in mammals Closed, the blood always remained in the vessel Double, blood travels twice through the heart on one complete circulation
Transport in mammals Double: systemic and pulmonary circulation Systemic circulation, blood pumped out of the left ventricle travel along parts of body and back to the right atrium Pulmonary circulation, The blood pumped out of the right ventricle into the lungs and return it to the left atrium
Blood vessels
3 layers of blood vessel an inner endothelium (lining tissue), called the tunica intima , made up of a layer of flat cells (squamous epithelium ) fitting together; this layer is very smooth, minimising friction with the moving blood a middle layer called the tunica media (‘middle coat ’), containing smooth muscle, collagen and elastic fibres an outer layer called the tunica externa (‘outer coat ’), containing elastic fibres and collagen fibres .
Cross section of an artery Structure vs function
Cross section of a vein Structure vs function
Veins Veins contain half-moon valves, or semilunar valves, formed from their endothelium
Cross section of a capillary Structure vs function
Thickness of the walls is related to their functions
The cardiac cycle
Atrial systole atrium contracts blood flows from atrium to the ventricle
Ventricular Systole Ventricles contract Atrioventricular valves close Semi lunar valves open
Diastole whole heart is relaxed
Electrical impulses control the pace. These impulses are provided by two electrical nodes: the sinoatrial (SA) node and the atrioventricular ( AV) node. Called the natural pacemakers of the heart.
Diastole no electrical activity during this phase Atrial Systole Sinoatrial node fires an electrical impulse , it spreads throughout the right and left atria, causing the muscle to contract and push blood into the ventricles. Towards the end of the atrial systole the electrical impulse reaches and triggers the atrioventricular node.
Ventricular Systole The atrioventricular node (after a short delay) fires an impulse, it spreads throughout the thick ventricular muscle, causing contraction from the bottom of the ventricles, pushing blood through the lungs and body.
Blood Blood is made of blood cells and blood plasma Blood cells Red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelets Blood plasma liquid part of blood, contain water, nutrients, protein, hormone .
Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) Bi-concave shape increases surface area and keeps the haemoglobin as close as possible to the membrane Shape makes them flexible to squeeze along capillaries. No nucleus or mitochondria, so more room for haemoglobin. Cannot reproduce, and die after 3 months, so are manufactured in liver, spleen and bone marrow.
White blood cells (leucocytes) Two parts: phagocytes and lymphocytes Phagocytes destroy the invaders by phagocytosis Lymphocytes B plasma produce antibody Killer T cells kill the infected cells
B cells
The action of the T cells Cytotoxic T cell Perforin Granzymes TCR CD8 Class I MHC molecule Target cell Peptide antigen Pore Released cytotoxic T cell Dying target cell 1 . 2 . 3 . lysis
BLOOD PLASMA This is the fluid that the cells are surrounded by. It contains Nutrients Waste Products, Plasma Proteins
T issue fluid Cells are bathed in tissue fluid Source of nutrients and oxygen Blood at the arterial end is under high pressure which forces water and small molecules out into interstitial spaces (ultrafiltration) Proteins are too big to move so they create an osmotic effect which keeps some fluid in the capillary. The pressure at the venous end is low so water, waste and carbon dioxide move back in to the capillary.
Lymphatic system Not all tissue fluid circulates back into the capillary Some drains into the lymphatic system Similar in composition to tissue fluid but has more fatty substances Works in defence system as well.
