Blood circulation

Introduction: Disorders are diseases that usually affect one or more of the body systems. Cardiovascular disorders are diseases that affect the either the blood vessels (such as veins, capillaries and arteries) or the heart – in some cases both. These types of diseases affect the cardiovascular system, which is the system that circulates blood throughout the body system via the veins, capillaries and arteries. According to research by the Journal of American Medical Association, at least the lifetime

An explanation of the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. (P4) In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body, the Respiration system and the Digestive system. I will start off by giving a definition of energy metabolism in the body. Metabolism in the body is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body’s cells. Metabolism converts the nutrients in the

Dr. Olympia works in the department of emergency medicine and pediatrics at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. He is now a professor at Penn State College of Medicine. He was a biology major during his undergraduate years. He discussed demographics of head trauma in children. Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability in pediatric trauma patients. In the US, head trauma in children account for 7,400 deaths and 60,000 hospitalizations. Brain injuries occur in males more than females

Cryotherapy WHAT IS CRYOTHERAPY? Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is a treatment that uses cold temperatures to treat an injury or medical condition. It includes using cold packs or ice packs to reduce pain and swelling. WHO SHOULD NOT USE CRYOTHERAPY? Cryotherapy is not safe for people who cannot tell you if they are in pain, such as small children and people who have dementia. Cryotherapy is also not safe for people with certain conditions, such as: • Raynaud phenomenon. • Cold hypersensitivity

to restore partial flow of oxygenated blood to the heart and the brain. The overriding objective is to delay tissue death, thereby extending the brief window of opportunity to enable successful resuscitation without incurring permanent brain damage. The process prompts defibrillation or administers electric shock to the heart to initiate a viable heart rhythm (Cooper, Cooper & Cooper 2840). The process continues until a victim returns to spontaneous circulation, or when unfortunately declared dead

Soccer like other popular sports has a risk of injury for the athletes participating. As a part of the sports medicine team it is crucial to be able to treat these injuries effectively and ultimately have the athlete returning to play as soon as possible. Injuries to the lower extremities are the most common in soccer. These injuries may be traumatic, such as a kick to the leg or a twist to the knee, or result from overuse of a muscle, tendon, or bone (1). This information will be helpful when assessing

their lives. By age 50 about more than half adults have this condition. Many women experience increased pressure during pregnancy due, in part because the uterus sits directly on the blood vessels that drain the hemorrhoidal veins, this lead to the formation of hemorrhoids. Pathophysiology Obstruction to the flow of blood in the veins of the rectum, constipation or diarrhea, straining during bowel movements, lack of a high-fiber diet, sedentary life style, prolonged sitting in the toilet, postponing

Human body continuously need blood supply to the cell in order to deliver oxygen and nutrient to the cells and carrying out carbon dioxide out of the cell. In order to have good perfusion in tissue, a person has to have good cardiac health and patent vessels. Edema also affect tissue perfusion. There are many reasons that disturbed the normal flow of blood like ECG rhythm, congestive heart failure, hypertension, gestational hypertension, mitral valve prolapse, coronary artery disease, and peripheral

the four body humors: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile (wikipedia/humorism). In times of illness, health was restored by purging, starving, vomiting, and bloodletting. Astrology played a big part in healing according to the phases of the moon. Healing was mostly controlled by priests, and then passed along to barbers who took over the daunting tasks of body healing. The red and white stripes of the barber’s pole signified a place of healing. Red represented the blood, and white represented

All blood cells and components have vital roles making it necessary that they are replenished continuously; this is achieved by haematopoiesis, where there is a differentiation of a population of pluripotent cells, known as haematopoietic stem cells. HSCs are unspecialised cells that can be differentiated into multiple lineages (figure 1) of mature blood cells (Park et al., 2015). Not only do these cells possess the potential for multipotency they also have the ability of self-renewal, making them
