The sequence of blood flow through the heart The right atrium receives
blood low in oxygen from all body tissues through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava
The blood then enters the right ventricle and is pumped to the lungs through the pulmonary artery
Blood returns from the lungs high in oxygen and enters the left atrium through the pulmonary veins
Blood enters the left ventricle and is forcefully pumped into the aorta to be distributed to all tissues
One-way valves in the heart keep blood moving in a forward direction The valves between the
atrium and ventricle on each side are the atrioventricular (AV) valves

Cardiac contractions are stimulated by a built-in system that regularly transmits electrical impulses through the heart
The components of this system include the following (listed in the sequence of action): Sinoatrial (SA) node
Located in the upper right atrium
Called the pacemaker because it sets the rate of the heartbeat
Atrioventricular (AV) node Located at the bottom of
the right atrium near the ventricle
Internodal fibers between the SA and AV nodes carry stimulation throughout both atria
AV bundle (bundle of His) Located at the top of the
interventricular septum Left and right bundle
branches These travel along the

Blood pressure (BP) is the force exerted by blood against the wall of a blood vessel It falls as the blood travels
away from the heart It is influenced by a variety
of factors, including cardiac output, vessel diameters, and total blood volume Vasoconstriction
increases blood pressure in a vessel; vasodilation decreases pressure
Measuring blood pressure Commonly measured with
an inflatable cuff called a sphygmomanometer
The process The examiner inflates
the cuff to stop blood flow in a vessel
He or she then uses a stethoscope to listen for blood flow in the vessel as the pressure is slowly released

The blood pressure reading Includes the following:
Systolic pressure, measured while the heart is contracting
Diastolic pressure, measured when the heart relaxes
These are reported as systolic then diastolic separated by a slash, such as 120/80
Pressure is expressed as millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) This represents the
height to which the pressure can push a column of mercury in a tube

The Cardiovascular System Atherosclerosis
Accumulation of plaque (fatty deposits) within the lining of an artery Plaque begins to form
when a vessel receives tiny injuries, usually at a point of branching
Plaques gradually thicken and harden with fibrous material, cells, and other deposits
Plaques restrict the vessel’s lumen (opening) and reduce blood flow to the tissues This is known as
ischemia A major risk factor for the
development of atherosclerosis is dyslipidemia This refers to
abnormally high levels or imbalance in lipoproteins that are carried in the blood

Other risk factors for atherosclerosis include smoking, high blood pressure, poor diet, inactivity, stress, and a family history of the disorder
Atherosclerosis may involve any arteries Most of its effects are
seen in the coronary vessels of the heart aorta, the carotid arteries in the neck, and vessels in the brain
Atherosclerosis is the most common form of a more general condition known as arteriosclerosis With this condition,
vessel walls harden from any cause
Plaque, calcium, salts, and scar tissue may contribute to arterial wall thickening
Thrombosis and embolism Thrombosis is the formation
of a blood clot (thrombus) within a vessel This interrupts blood
flow to the tissues supplied by that vessel, resulting in necrosis
Blockage of a vessel by a thrombus or other mass carried in the bloodstream is embolism

The mass itself is called an embolus Can be a blood clot,
air, fat, bacteria, or other solid materials
Often a venous thrombus will travel through the heart and then lodge in an artery of the lungs This results in a life-
threatening pulmonary embolism
An embolus from a carotid artery often blocks a cerebral vessel This causes a
cerebrovascular accident (CVA), commonly called stroke
Aneurysm Formed when an arterial
wall weakened by atherosclerosis, malformation, injury, or other changes balloons out
If an aneurysm ruptures, hemorrhage results
Rupture of a cerebral artery is another cause of stroke The abdominal aorta
and carotid arteries are also common aneurysm sites
In a dissecting aneurysm blood hemorrhages into the
left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.p. 178

arterial wall’s thick middle layer, separating the muscle as it spreads and sometimes rupturing the vessel
Hypertension (HTN; high blood pressure) Defined as a systolic
pressure greater than 140 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure greater than 90 mm Hg
Causes the left ventricle to enlarge as a result of increased work
Some cases of HTN are secondary to other disorders, such as kidney malfunction or endocrine disturbance
Most of the time, the causes are unknown (primary, or essential, HTN)
Changes in diet and life habits are the first line of defense in controlling HTN
Drugs that are used include the following: Diuretics to eliminate
fluids Vasodilators to relax the
blood vessels Drugs that prevent the
formation or action of angiotensin This is a substance
in the blood that normally acts to
back into the pulmonary artery. E. Coarctation of the aorta restricts outward blood flow in the aorta.p. 180

Heart disease Coronary artery disease
(CAD) Results from
atherosclerosis in the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle
An early sign of CAD is the type of chest pain known as angina pectoris This is a feeling of
constriction around the heart
Can also be pain that may radiate to the left arm or shoulder, usually brought on by exertion
Often there is anxiety, diaphoresis, and dyspnea
Diagnosis tools include ECG, stress tests, echocardiography, coronary angiography, coronary CT angiography, coronary calcium scan, measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and the hs-CRP
Page 19 of 35Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Cohen: Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide (Eighth Edition)Chapter 9 — Circulation: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
test Treatments include
control of exercise and diet, drug therapy, and surgical intervention when appropriate
Myocardial infarction (MI) Development of an area
of myocardial necrosis, or an infarct Caused by
degenerative changes in the arteries leading to thrombosis and sudden coronary artery occlusion (obstruction)
Also called a “heart attack”
Can cause sudden death Symptoms include
precordial pain or epigastric pain that may extend to the jaw or arms, pallor (paleness), diaphoresis, nausea, fatigue, anxiety, and dyspnea There may also be a
burning sensation similar to indigestion or heartburn
In women, MI symptoms are often more long-term and
Page 20 of 35Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Cohen: Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide (Eighth Edition)Chapter 9 — Circulation: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
more subtle and diffuse This is because
degenerative changes more commonly affect multiple small vessels rather than the major coronary pathways
MI is diagnosed by ECG and assays for specific substances in the blood These substances
include creatine kinase and troponin
Patient outcome is based on the degree of damage and the speed of treatment
Arrhythmia Any irregularity of heart
rhythm, such as an altered heart rate, extra beats, or a change in the pattern of the beat
Bradycardia is a slower-than-average rate
Tachycardia is a higher-than-average rate
Damage to cardiac tissue, as by MI, may result in an interruption in the heart’s electrical conduction system
Page 21 of 35Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Cohen: Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide (Eighth Edition)Chapter 9 — Circulation: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
resulting in arrhythmia If, for any reason, the
SA node is not generating a normal heartbeat or there is heart block, an artificial pacemaker may be implanted to regulate the beat
Fibrillation is an extremely rapid, ineffective heartbeat Commonly caused
by MI Especially
dangerous when it affects the ventricles
Cardioversion is the general term for restoration of a normal heart rhythm with drugs or application of an electric current Automated external
defibrillators detect fatal arrhythmia and automatically deliver a correct preprogrammed shock
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) detects potential fibrillation and automatically
Page 22 of 35Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Cohen: Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide (Eighth Edition)Chapter 9 — Circulation: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
shocks the heart to restore normal rhythm
Cardiac ablation is a newer type of treatment for arrhythmia
Heart failure Any condition in which
the heart fails to empty effectively The resulting
increased pressure in the venous system leads to edema Left-side
failure results in pulmonary edema with breathing difficulties
Right-side failure causes peripheral edema with tissue swelling, especially in the legs, along with weight gain from fluid retention
Heart failure is treated with rest, drugs to strengthen heart contractions, diuretics to eliminate fluid, and restriction of salt in the
Page 23 of 35Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Cohen: Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide (Eighth Edition)Chapter 9 — Circulation: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
diet Heart failure is one
cause of shock This is a severe
disturbance in the circulatory system resulting in inadequate blood delivery to the tissues
Congenital heart disease Any defect that is
present at birth Septal defect
The most common type of congenital heart disease
This is a hole in the septum (wall) that separates the atria or the septum that separates the ventricles
A septal defect permits blood to shunt from the left to the right side of the heart and return to the lungs instead of flowing out to the body The heart has
to work harder to meet the tissues’ oxygen needs
Page 24 of 35Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Cohen: Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide (Eighth Edition)Chapter 9 — Circulation: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
Symptoms of septal defect include cyanosis, syncope, and clubbing of the fingers
Patent ductus arteriosus Also results from
persistence of a fetal modification
In this case, a small bypass between the pulmonary artery and the aorta fails to close at birth
Blood then can flow from the aorta to the pulmonary artery and return to the lungs
Heart valve malformation Failure of a valve to
open or close properly is evidenced by a murmur
A localized aortic narrowing restricts blood flow through that vessel
Most congenital defects described can be corrected surgically
Rheumatic heart disease Infection with a specific
type of Streptococcus

sets up an immune reaction that ultimately damages the heart valves
The infection usually begins as a “strep throat”
Most often the mitral valve is involved Scar tissue fuses the
valve’s leaflets, causing a narrowing or stenosis that interferes with proper function
People with rheumatic heart disease are subject to repeated valvular infections
Severe cases of rheumatic heart disease may require surgical correction or even valve replacement
The incidence of rheumatic heart disease has declined with the use of antibiotics
Disorders of the veins Varicose veins
This results from breakdown in the valves of the veins in combination with a chronic dilatation of these vessels
Page 26 of 35Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Cohen: Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide (Eighth Edition)Chapter 9 — Circulation: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
The veins appear twisted and swollen under the skin, most commonly in the legs
Contributing factors include heredity, obesity, prolonged standing, and pregnancy
Varicosities can impede blood flow and lead to edema, thrombosis, hemorrhage, or ulceration
Treatment includes the wearing of elastic stockings and in some cases, surgical removal of the varicose veins
A varicose vein in the rectum or anal canal is referred to as a hemorrhoid
Phlebitis Any inflammation of the
veins May be caused by
infection, injury, poor circulation, or damage to valves in the veins
Typically initiates blood clot formation, resulting in thrombophlebitis A more serious
condition, deep vein thrombosis, involves the deep veins as opposed to

the superficial veins The most
common sites for DVT are the deep leg veins
The Lymphatic System Changes in the lymphatic system
are often related to infection Lymphadenitis:
inflammation and enlargement of the nodes
Lymphangitis: inflammation of the vessels
Lymphedema Tissue swelling Results from obstruction of
lymphatic vessels because of surgical excision or infection
Lymphoma: any neoplastic disease involving lymph nodes is termed These neoplastic disorders
affect the white cells found in the lymphatic system

In-Class Activities1. Place flash cards of various terms face down in a stack. Divide the class into two groups. Instruct students, one at a time, to draw a flash card, read the term, and correctly define the word. If that individual is incorrect, the other team gets a chance. Give points for correct definitions. The team with the most points wins.

Functions of the lymphatic system Return excess fluid and
proteins from tissues to bloodstream Blind-ended lymphatic
capillaries pick up these materials in the tissues and carry them into larger vessels
Protect the body from impurities and invading microorganisms Lymph nodes filter
lymph as it passes through
Absorb digested fats from the small intestine These fats are then
added to the blood with the lymph that drains from the thoracic duct
Components of the system Lymph: the fluid carried in
the lymphatic system Thoracic duct: travels
upward through the chest and empties into the left subclavian vein near the heart

Right lymphatic duct: drains the body’s upper right side and empties into the right subclavian vein
Lymph nodes: filter the lymph as it passes through the lymphatic vessels Concentrated in the
cervical (neck), axillary (armpit), mediastinal (chest), and inguinal (groin) regions
Tonsils: filter inhaled or swallowed materials and aid in immunity early in life
Thymus: processes and stimulates lymphocytes active in immunity
Spleen: filters blood and destroys old red blood cells
