Question
Chapter 21.5, Problem 21BYGO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The two changes that occur in the blood vessels in old age, other than specific vascular diseases.
Introduction:
Our arteries become less distensible as we get older and absorb lea systolic strength. This growing rigidity is referred to as arteriosclerosis. The primary cause of this is a lifeline of free radicals damage that causes the elastic and other tissues of the arterial walls to deteriorate gradually. Another contributing factor is atherosclerosis, the growth of lipid deposits in the arterial walls. The most common vascular disease, atherosclerosis, can lead to stroke, kidney failure, or heart failure.

This is Anatomy and Physiology II related questions. More specifically on blood vessels. Please help me answer these questions, thank you :)
List all the blood vessels a blood cell from the left fibula vein would have to go through to arrive in the right ulnar artery. There is no left brachiocephalic artery. How does the anatomy of the left side of the body differ from the right in this region? What type of tissue creates a valve? A piece of the great saphenous vein is removed from the leg and used to bypass clots that form in the arteries that supply the heart muscle. Why doesn't the leg suffer from the removal of a piece of this vein?
Illuminate the Truth Capillaries
Highlight the word or phrase that makes cach of the following statements true.
1. Capillaries (are)(are not) evenly distributed throughout the body.
2. The majority of the capillaries in skeletal muscles are (constantly filled with blood)(shut down during periods
of rest).
3. Capillaries (take up)(release) wastes, such as carbon dioxide and ammonia.
4. Water (flows into)(moves into and out of) capillaries.
5. In diffusion, substances move from areas of (greater)(lesser) to (greater)(lesser) concentration.
6. The concentration of oxygen within capillaries is (greater than)(less than) the concentration of oxygen in the
surrounding tissue fluid; therefore, oxygen diffuses (into)(out of) the capillaries.
7. (Osmosis) (Filtration) occurs close to the arterial side of the capillary bed, while (colloid osmotic
pressure)(diffusion) operates toward the venous side.
8. Of all the fluid filtered at the arterial end of the capillary bed. about (85%)(15%) is…

- Above is a link to a patient's story. The patient's name is Kepo Savou and he was diagnosed with heart failure at an early age. Many think that heart disease, especially heart failure is a condition of the elderly; however, many people have been diagnosed with this condition as young adults. 1. Discuss the pathophysiology of heart failure from the perspective of the following systems listed below. Cardiovascular Respiratory Neurological Renal 2. Based on your study of the condition of heart failure above; what symptoms did the patient have? 3. Why is the detection of this disease so difficult? What complications in this young man presented challenges in the recognition of heart failure? 4.

Explain what happened to his heart muscle and vascular system. What is a STEMII? 2. Mr. Garcia's chest pain resolved after two sublingual NTF at 3-minute intervals and 2 mg of IV morphine. In the cardiac catheterization lab he was "found to have a totally occluded distal right coronary artery and a 70% occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery. 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. A stent was left in place to stabilize the patient and limit infarct size. Left ventricular ejection fraction was normal at 42%, and a posterobasilar scar was present with hypokinesis." a.
