The Human Heart Is A Muscular Organ That Provides A Continuous Blood Circulation

The human body is in a constant state of movement even when seemingly still. This constant movement is crucial for the human body and all the organ systems it contains. Movement although overlooked is more complicate than many would believe. The human body has many functions which are maintained by the movement of muscles and blood, as well as other bi-products of the organ systems. The Integumentary, Cardiovascular, and Tissue systems are capable of movement both internal and external allowing for

So we already know that the blood vessels are the vessels that transport the blood to and from the heart and to the tissues throughout our body. Let us now quickly review the basic structure of the vessels that the human body contains. The five main types of blood vessels are the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. We have already learned that the arteries carry blood away from the heart to the tissues via systemic circulation. Well these large arteries eventually divide into smaller

circulatory loops in the human body which include pulmonary circulation loop and the systemic circulation loop. The pulmonary circulation transport deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. During pulmonary circulation blood picks up oxygen and returns to the left side of the heart. The right atrium and the right ventricle support the pulmonary circulation loop. The systemic circulation carries highly oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to all of the tissues of

consists of the heart, which is a muscular pumping device, and vessels called arteries, veins, and capillaries (Silverthorn, D.U, et al. 2016). The heart pumps blood around a closed unit of vessels as it passes through circulations of the body. The human heart is a four-chambered muscular organ. The heart is enclosed in a pericardial sac that is lined with the parietal layers of a serous membrane (Silverthorn, D.U, et al. 2016). There are three layers of tissue that form the heart wall: the inner

occupy a sliding scale of complexity. On one hand we have the single cell organisms, where all necessary functions for their life are carried out within that one cell. At the other extreme we have extremely complex multicellular organisms, of which humans are perhaps the cardinal member. Obviously, with increased capacity comes increased abilities. Complex organisms are able to manipulate their environment to a greater extent then their simpler cousins. While this has a lot of advantages, it also presents

Inside our body there is a powerful muscular pump, which is known as the one of the main organs in the human body. This hollow, cone shaped, pump lies slightly left within the center of the chest called our heart. The heart is made up of different structures and actions in order for it to work, combined with a network of blood vessels form what we know as the cardiovascular system. The heart size varies with body size pumping blood to

interest in the use of alternative therapies led me to develop the following question: In hospitalized preterm infants, does the use of massage therapy promote overall adaptation and development? Massage therapy is defined as, “a systematic touch by human hands, which stimulates the tactile sense of the infant and which has been documented for several decades to have a positive effect on both full term and preterm infants” (Abdallah et al., 2013, p. 663). The goal of this paper is to describe the transition

Congestive Heart Failure Armi Gonzales Western Governors University Congestive Heart Failure A. Investigated Disease Process Congestive Heart Failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump a sufficient amount of blood for the body to function. If the heart’s ability to pump blood decreases, blood and fluids may start to pool into the lungs and accumulate in the legs, ankles, and feet causing an edema, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
