SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION: Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels and the blood inside them. It’s responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrition and waste products throughout the body. The heart is the circulatory pump that transports blood to the entire body. Cardiovascular system has two circulations: systemic and the pulmonary circulations. Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood between the heart and lungs. Pulmonary circulation starts when the deoxygenated blood enters

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT Adv Nursing questions (110 points) Adv Pharmacology (55 points) Adv Pathophysiology (35 points) CASE PRESENTATION Mr. Howard, a 57-year-old man, had a 3-month history of progressive typical anginal chest pain. He reported that the symptoms first occurred with heavy exertion and involved what he described as“heaviness” in his chest. The symptoms were promptly relieved with rest. Over the past weeks, he had been experiencing increasingly frequent episodes of chest

Treatments in Pulmonary Hypertension Brooke Throckmorton Kettering College Abstract This paper discusses some of the different medications used in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. There are six different articles being used for each the medications, and other basic information pertaining to pulmonary hypertension. The articles discuss studies performed on the drugs to demonstrate their effectiveness on pulmonary hypertension. The articles exhibit important information about

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) has been a huge drain the United Kingdom’s resource’s, not only for the long term care and treatment of those with an existing CHD condition, but also for the continuing public education and campaigning to reverse the negative health trends that cause CHD and CHD related maladies. The largest natural cause of death in the developed world are deaths under the CHD umbrella, beating communicable diseases into a cocked hat. CHD is at not an inevitable event. The slow

Congenital heart defects are problems intrinsic to the heart that present at birth. They develop during fetal growth in utero mainly due to genetic malformations, environmental factors, and multifactorial reasons. The environment within which the fetus develops (the uterus) is a very crucial contribution to normal fetal growth and development. It is common to find disruptions within this microenvironment; the consequent effect being the disruption of normal growth and organ developments. The timing

causes women to live longer. This was contradicted in 2002 when women in the WHI trial who were on HPT had a higher risk for heart attack and stroke. Researchers then set out to find out what was going on with the hormone to produce two effects. Dr. White and others started to study the direct affect of estrogen on the coronary arteries. This research is so important because heart disease is the number one killer. Its medical relevance is crucial to women and men because both have these hormones present

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 the chest in the middle of the lungs and beneath the sternum. At the base, or top of the heart, is the aorta

much acceleration, they camouflaged within the stormy scenery. I recall the power of the silence that would submerge us all once the commotion beyond the trench would cease, I felt I was tangled and drowning within its forceful and mighty waves. My heart pummeled the inside of my chest with built up momentum, my pulse was as repetitive as the constant firing of a machine gun. I remember scuttling to my abscessed, aching, drenched feet. Panic-stricken as I blindly stepped through the mud and slush of

In 162 AD, Claudius Galen; a Greek physician and philosopher, suggested his theory of the circulatory system. He was the first physician in history to provide a proper understanding of how the blood forms, and how blood vessels and the heart function. Galen’s theory was left unquestionable until the fifteenth century. He was also very popular within the western medical thought as he was their main influence for more than a millennium. (1) His theory came about from his observations from the dissection

Introduction This assessment will explain what the role of the liver and pancreas is and how it aids digestion, including what they produce and how this makes the digestive system efficient. It will also include the interaction of the circulatory and respiratory systems during exercise and at rest and how they work separately and together. Lastly, it will discuss what could go wrong with these systems and how it will affect the horse. The Pancreas (M1) Figure 1 Pancreas Diagram (Anon, Unknown)
