Introduction to the circulatory
system and lymphatics
Week Week 6
Traffic Light System Intermediate
Lecturer Dr Ian Jenkins Deputy Director of Anatomy
Learning Objectives
Understand the differences between the pulmonary circulation and systemic
circulation
Identify the anatomical structures associated with the circulatory system
Identify large arterial and paired venous vessels in the body
Identify the chambers of the heart and describe the flow of blood through the
chambers in relation to the lungs and the rest of the body
Identify large arterial and paired venous vessels in the body
Introduction to the circulatory system and lymphatics 1
, Identify the chambers of the heart and describe the flow of blood through the
chambers in relation to the lungs and the rest of the body
Identify the differences between types of blood vessels
Understand the flow of lymph through body
Identify the structures associated with the flow of lymph
Identify the structures associated with the flow of lymph
Understand the flow of blood through the hepatic portal system
Describe the three main functions of the circulatory system, lymphatic system,
and the hepatic portal system
Describe how a vascular ultrasound works and why it might be used
Peripheral vascular system
Functions:
transport blood; to and from heart to everywhere (oxygen/carbon dioxide
exchanged at lungs)
Capillaries are everywhere
Head & Neck → Upper limbs → Thorax → Abdomen → pelvis → Lower Limbs
Arteries = supply & branches
Veins = drain & tributaries
Lymphatics = drain & tributaries
Lymphatics closely follow venous system
General organisation of the peripheral vascular system:
Head and Neck
Upper Limbs
Thorax
