Demonstrate the role of stents in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (coronary angioplasty) Introduction The heart is a pump that circulates blood to the rest of the human body. It is positioned at the centre of the chest, just between the lungs. The network of blood vessels that branch over the surface of the heart are the coronary arteries.…
CASE STUDY 1 1. The cardiovascular system consists of the following- Blood – It is a red color fluid in the body. Heart – It is also called the control center of our body. It pumps and collects blood to and from the various parts of our body.…
M1 outline the adaptations to cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and energy systems, brought about by regular exercise Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system consists of the blood vessels and the heart. They function is to circulate the blood around the body to all the muscles. The red blood cells carry oxygen to all the muscles through the vein (carries blood to the heart). The veins have thin walls and contain blood under the low pressure.…
Then, the right atrium then the right ventricle and leaves through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Oxygenated blood enters into the pulmonary veins from the lungs and enters the left atrium and the left ventricle then it leaves through the aorta then travels to the rest of the body. In the heart beat there is sinoatrial nodes, atrioventricular nodes, bundles of his, and perkinje fibers. Sinoatrial nodes are a small muscle in the heart that produces some kind of signal. Atrioventricular nodes act as a relay station that controls the heart rate.…
Explain the significance of the thickness of the left ventricular wall. The left ventricle works harder as it pumps blood to the systemic circuit, not just to the pulmonary portions as the right ventricular does. Therefore, the left ventricular walls are thicker, to support the hard work that it has to do throughout the body (Martini & Nath,2014 p.685) The major coronary vessels are on the surface of the heart.…
The right ventricle squeezes the blood to pass through the pulmonic valve and the pulmonary artery to reach the lungs where it picks up oxygen. The oxygenated blood comes back to the left atrium and passes through the mitral valve to reach the left ventricle. The walls of the left ventricle have to compress to pump the oxygenated blood to the aorta which supplies the rest of the body. When the process fails heart failure may occur and the walls of the left ventricles can become thicker and thicker, and at the end not able to perform its normal function.…
Who has been benefited by the AHA? The American Heart Association has benefited many people. They help people who face heart problems, stroke, and diabetes. In other words, they want to reduce the number of deaths.…
The heart is about the size of a fist pushing approximately an average 1,900 gallons of blood per day. The heart is made up of cardiac muscle tissue and has four chambers. There are two atria which are responsible for receiving the deoxygenated blood that is coming back from the veins. The other two chambers are the ventricles, which pump oxygenated blood in the arteries is carried away from heart. Separating the chambers are valves.…
Heart disease is a major health issue in the United States. It effects all genders, races, and ethnicities. The heart disease epidemic peaked in the mid-1960s. CHD rose from the late 19th century and hit hard in the 20th century. By 1960, it killed one third of Americans.…
The heart is roughly the size of a fist, composed of a three layered wall, and separated into four chambers. The layers include the superficial epicardium, the middle myocardium, and the deepest layer called the endocardium. The four chambers consists of the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle. The right and left atriums are separated by the interatrial septum and the interventricular septum divides the right and left ventricles. There are atrial-ventricular junctions that differentiate between the atriums and ventricles which contains atrioventricular valves.…
Cardiovascular Disorders Hunter Boumans Central Louisiana Technical Community College CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS A. Definition- Abnormal heart conditions related to the structure, function, or vessels of the heart or its muscles & valves. • Congenital Heart Disease- Any abnormality with the heart at the time of birth. Patent ductus arteriosus- ductus arteriosus fails to close after birth…
THE AMAZING CIRCULATORY SYSTEM The circulatory system preforms many different jobs. It carries oxygen to the cells of the body and it also caries nutrients throughout the body to make heat and energy. In addition to that, the vascular system delivers hormones to specific organs. Another thing the circulatory system does is collect metabolic waste and deliver it to the excretory glands.…
In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two body systems, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system in the relation to energy metabolism in the body. Energy metabolism is where energy is generated from nutrients and delivered to the organs around the body. Energy is needed in the body in order muscular movement, circulation of the blood, lymph and tissue fluid, breathing process, cell growth and repair, the transition of nerve impulses and for the building of different complex molecules. The cardiovascular system There are four major functions of the cardiovascular system, these include: the transportation of nutrients, gases and waste products around the body, the protection of the body from infections and blood…
The heart in our body is what keeps us going. If our heart stops beating, we pass out and die. There are many diseases that are related to the heart. There are three different kinds of vessels in our body, arteries are one of the three, and the other two are veins and capillaries.…
The heart is an essential part of a human’s body. It is a muscular organ located at the center of the circulatory system that pumps blood throughout the body. The system comprises of veins, arteries, and capillaries, and these blood vessels carry blood to and from all areas of one’s body to sustain life. It beats around 100,000 times and pumps around 2,000 gallons per day. The heart is vital to one’s health and everything that goes on in his or her body.…
