Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The difference between a medium vein and a medium artery.
Introduction:
Arteries are defined as the cardiovascular system's afferent vessels, i.e., vessels carrying blood from the heart. Arteries are regarded as the cardiovascular system's resistance vessels because they have a tissue structure that is fairly strong and resistant to high blood pressure. Veins are classified as vessels afferent to carry blood back to the heart. Veins are considered to be the capacitance vessels of the cardiovascular system because they are relatively thin-walled and flaccid and easily expand to carry an increased volume of blood; that is, they have more capacity to store blood than arteries do

The left anterior descending artery was patent. Angioplasty of the distal right coronary artery resulted in a patent infarct- related artery with near normal flow.

(Preload)(Afterload) is the amount of tension, or stretch, in the ventricular muscle just before it contracts. 2. (Contractility)(Stroke volume) is the force with which ventricular ejection occurs. 3. Starling's law of the heart states that the more the ventricle is stretched-within limits-the (less)(more) forcefully it will contract. 4. The force against which the heart must work to eject its volume of blood is called the (cardiac output)(afterload). 5.

- Palpating a Superficial Pulse The pulse rate is the number of pulse per minute measured by palpating on superficial artery. The pulse may be felt easily on any superficial artery when the artery is compressed over a bone or firm tissue. Palpate the pulse by placing the fingertips of the first two or three fingers of one hand over the radial artery. It helps to compress the artery firmly as you begin your palpation and then immediately ease up on the pressure slightly. Notice the regularity of the pulse, and assess the degree of tension or amplitude. With your sitting quietly, practice counting the radial pulse for 1 minute. Make three counts and average the results. Upload your results in the correct file format: docx, PDF, Jeg or PNG. If you do not know how to measure pulse rate watch this video.
