    ALTERED HEMODYNAMICS Hemodynamics is the study of blood flow and circulation throughout the body. A muscle known as the heart is a major organ that circulates blood through the human body by veins and arteries known as the circulatory system. During the pumping action it carries deoxygenated blood through the veins to the lungs where oxygenation takes place and is then circulated through the arteries back to the heart. Anatomy and Physiology of the Heart The heart is located in the thoracic cavity

    of four chambers or rooms. The top two chambers are called atriums, and these are the collecting chambers of the heart. The bottom two chambers are called ventricles, and these are the pumping chambers of the heart. The right side of the heart collects oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The left side of the heart collects oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body. More specifically, the right atrium collects oxygen-poor blood from the body through two large

    without O2) to the lungs to get deoxygenated. Left atrium: The left atrium is one of the four chambers of the heart, located on the left posterior side. Its primary roles are to act as a vessel for blood returning from the lungs and to act a pump to transport blood to other areas of the heart. The walls of the left atrium are slightly thicker than the walls of the right atrium. Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the left atrium through the pulmonary vein. The blood is then pumped into

    Homework # 1 1) The heart has four chambers, associated with the pulmonary and systemic circuit. It starts from the systemic circuit by receiving blood to the right atrium and passing it to the right ventricle and then pumps into the pulmonary circuit. Then it collects it at the left atrium and empties into the left ventricle which pumps blood back to the systemic circuit. Arties carry blood away from the heart and veins return blood to the heart. The pericardial sac is also known as the fibrous
