The Human Body
• First aid providers must be familiar with the basic structure and functions of the human body.
• Using the proper medical terms allows you to communicate more effectively with the person and with medical care providers.

The Body Systems
• Most life-threatening conditions affect the respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems.
• Most important and sensitive organs:− Lungs− Heart− Brain− Spinal cord
![Page 7: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Respiratory System
• Death will result in about 4 to 6 minutes if the body’s oxygen supply is cut off.
• Oxygen from air is made available to the blood through the respiratory system.

Mechanics of Breathing
• Respiration: The passage of air into and out of the lungs.− Inhalation is breathing in.− Exhalation is breathing out.
• Ventilation: A mechanical process that alternately increases and decreases the size of the chest cavity.
![Page 10: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mechanics of Breathing
• Infants and children− Smaller respiratory structures− Easily obstructed airways− Tongues take up more space in the mouth.− More flexible trachea− Primary cause of cardiac arrest is an
uncorrected respiratory problem.
![Page 11: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Respiratory Rates
• Decreases at rest• Increases during
exercise• Controlled by the
brain
© Jones & Bartlett Learning.
![Page 12: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Signs of Inadequate Breathing
• A rate outside the normal range• Cool or clammy skin that is pale or
cyanotic• Nasal flaring
![Page 13: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Circulatory System
• Blood• Heart• Blood vessels
© Jones & Bartlett Learning.
![Page 14: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Heart
• Pumps blood through the vessels
• About the size of a man’s clenched fist
• Shaped like a pear• Located in the left
center of the chest
© Jones & Bartlett Learning.
![Page 15: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Heart
• Divided by a wall to create the right and left compartments
• Compartments are divided into chambers:− Atrium above− Ventricle below
![Page 16: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Heart
• During each contraction:− The heart pumps blood high in carbon dioxide
from the right ventricle to the lungs.− Oxygen-rich blood is returned to the left
atrium from the lungs.− Left ventricle pushes oxygen-rich blood to the
rest of the body.− Right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood.
![Page 17: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Heart
• At each relaxation:− Blood flows into the left atrium from the lungs.− Blood flows into the right atrium from the rest
of the body.
![Page 18: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Blood Vessels
• Arteries− Elastic, muscular tubes that carry blood away
from the heart− Begin at the heart as two large tubes
• Pulmonary artery: Carries blood to the lungs• Aorta: Carries blood to other parts of the body and
divides into capillaries
![Page 19: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Blood Vessels
• Capillaries− A network of extremely fine vessels− Oxygen and nourishment pass out of the
bloodstream into the body’s cells.− Cells discharge waste into the bloodstream.− In the lungs, carbon dioxide is released and
oxygen is absorbed.
![Page 20: Ch03 presentation human_body](https://reader036.vdocumento.com/reader036/viewer/2022081512/58ce8be01a28ab8c3b8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Blood Vessels
• Veins− Become larger and larger− Form major trunks that empty blood returning
from the body into the right atrium− Blood returning from the lungs goes into the
left atrium.

Pulse
• Surge of blood that occurs each time the heart contracts
• Can be felt at any point where an artery lies near the skin surface
• Blood from a cut artery spurts.• Blood from a cut vein flows.
