Circulation and the Vascular System
• Septum divides the heart into a right and left side
• Has four chambers: • Right and left atrium• Right and left ventricle
• Valves allow blood to pass from the atria to the ventricles
• The pulmonary artery and aorta carry blood away from the heart
Chapter 2 8

• Provides blood supply to the heart• Receives oxygenated blood from the aorta
into the coronary arteries• Coronary veins carry deoxygenated blood to
the right atrium

Pulmonary circulation occurs when blood that has been used by the cells of the body is returned to the heart and transported to the lungs for gas exchange.

This network of blood vessels carrying oxygenated blood picks up essential nutrients from the digestive tract to deliver to all other cells of the body.
Systemic circulation also removes waste products from the body cells.
Venous Blood Arterial Blood
• Has a larger concentration of carbon dioxide
• Pumped by the heart to the lungs
• Has a larger concentration of oxygen than carbon dioxide
• Pumped by the heart to the body cells

Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs’ capillaries
O2 and CO2 exchange between capillary beds and body tissues.
Blood rich in oxygen
Blood low in oxygen
Blood moves from the vena cava to the right atrium and ventricle for pulmonary circulation. Blood then moves to the left atrium and ventricle and into the aorta for systemic circulation.

Arteries and veins are comprised of three layers of tissue:
• Tunica intima• Innermost,
smooth layer• Tunica media
• Middle, thickest layer
• Tunica adventitia
• Outer coveringCapillaries comprise only one layer of tissue.

• Carry blood under high pressure
• Are elastic, muscular, and thick-walled
• Dilate and constrict, which creates a pulse
• Appear bright red due to high oxygen levels

At a venipuncture site, a vein will feel bouncy and resilient, while an artery will feel firm and pulsate.
In case of an accidental puncturing of an artery, withdraw the needle and apply firm pressure for at least 5 minutes.
Instruct the patient to remain still and notify a nurse to assist in hematoma prevention.
Artery or Vein?

After properly selecting a vein, the phlebotomist must use proper technique and avoid “probing” around at the site.
Accidental puncturing of a nerve could result in a temporary loss of function and constitutes an act of negligence.

The most commonly used veins for venipuncture are located in the antecubital fossa.
1st Choice Median cubital vein
2nd Choice Cephalic vein
3rd Choice Basilic vein
Which vein is BEST for venipuncture?

Dorsal venous arch
Metacarpal plexus
Hand Veins
When the antecubital veins are not accessible, the hand veins may be used for venipuncture.
NOTE:• Hand veins are smaller and less
anchored.• This can be very painful for the
patient.

Liquid Solid
• Plasma, which is a straw-colored fluid comprised mostly of water
• Cellular components, including:
-red blood cells-white blood cells-platelets
Blood, when allowed to stand, will separate into two components:
Chapter 2 28
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display
• Originate in the bone marrow
• Resemble the shape of a doughnut without a hole (biconcave)
• Average lifespan is 120 days
• Normal value = approximately 4.5 to 5 million per cubic millimeter of blood
• Contains an iron-rich protein molecule called hemoglobin
• Responsible for carrying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from every body cell
Chapter 2 29

Normal Hemoglobin Levels
Male = 14–18 grams/100 mL of blood
Female = 12–16 grams/100 mL of blood
An abnormally low hemoglobin level and/or decrease in the number of red blood cells is called anemia.
Symptoms of Anemia
• Weakness• Headache• Pale skin color• Difficulty breathing

• Also known as white blood cells
• Primarily responsible for destroying foreign substances such as pathogens
• Appear round and white because they lack hemoglobin
• Normal adult has 5,000 to 10,000 white blood cells per cubic millimeter of blood
Types of White Blood Cells
Granulocytes Agranulocytes
• Neutrophils• Eosinophils• Basophils
• Monocytes• Lymphocytes
Chapter 2 31
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display
Granulocytes
Neutrophils• Most numerous of all the WBCs• Main warriors against infection
(phagocytosis)
Eosinophils• Present in a very small quantity• Ingest and destroy foreign proteins• Secrete chemicals to destroy parasites• Increase during allergic reactions and parasitic infections
Basophils• Least common granulocyte• Assist with the inflammatory
process• Release histamine and heparin
Chapter 2 32

Agranulocytes
Monocytes• Largest in size of all the
white blood cells• Primary function is
phagocytosis• Survive for several months• Effective against chronic
infections
Lymphocytes• Assist with the immune
system• Produce antibodies that
destroy pathogens• Aid in controlling allergic
reactions
Quantities of each type of WBC can be determined with a blood test known as a differential.

• Also known as platelets
• Smallest of all the cellular components
• Normal adult has 150,000 to 450,000 per cubic millimeter of blood
• Average lifespan is 9 to 12 days
• Prevent blood loss following an injury

Composition of Plasma
• Water• Nutrients• Hormones• Electrolytes• Proteins• Waste• Protective substances

Following an injury, four events are available to stop the bleeding:
• Vessels decrease in size to stop bleeding in small vessels
• Inner torn layer of the vessels releases chemical signals that call platelets to the site of injury
• Requires the presence of certain clotting factors to form fibrin

The blood group system recognizes four blood types:
• Type A, B, AB, and O
• They are distinguished from each other in part by their antigens and antibodies.
• Specific antibodies are found in the serum based on the type of antigen on the surface of the RBC.

Will make antibodies if given Rh-positive blood
Agglutination can occur if given Rh-positive blood
Clinically, it is very important for a female to know her Rh type if she becomes pregnant.

For all “type and cross-match” orders, additional identification is usually required. This may include a signature and identification number as well as initialing the tube and requisition form.
Always follow your facility’s policy

Chapter 2 Summary
The vascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels providing for circulation of blood.
Coronary circulation provides blood to the heart, while systemic circulation provides blood to the body.
Blood vessel layers include the tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia.
Arteries, except the pulmonary artery, carry blood to the body. Veins, except the pulmonary vein, carries blood back to the heart.

Chapter 2 Summary (cont’d)
The three veins most commonly used for phlebotomy are located in the antecubital fossa.
Blood is responsible for transporting oxygen, fluids, hormones, and antibodies and for eliminating waste materials.
The major components of blood include the formed elements and plasma.
RBCs transport oxygen and carbon dioxide; WBCs destroy foreign invaders.

Chapter 2 Summary (cont’d)
WBCs include granulocytes and agranulocytes.
Plasma is the liquid portion of unclotted blood. Serum is the liquid portion of clotted blood.
Hemostasis includes four stages: blood vessel spasm, platelet plug formation, blood clotting, and fibrinolysis.
ABO and Rh types are determined by the antigen found on the RBCs.
