What is the heart? The heart is the organ that supplies blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. It is about the size of a clenched fist‚ weighs about 10.5 ounces and is shaped like a cone. The heart is located in the chest cavity just posterior to the breastbone‚ between the lungs and superior to the diaphragm. The heart is surrounded by a fluid filled sac called the pericardium. Blood is pumped away from the heart through arteries and returns to the heart through veins. The major artery of the

increase in hydrogen ions‚ activating the central chemoreceptors to stimulate the Dorsal (DRG) and Ventral Respiratory group (VRG) which reflexly increase ventilation. Furthermore‚ the peripheral chemoreceptors located on the carotid arteries and aortic bodies is also responsible for detecting changes in arterial PCO2. Therefore‚ the human body tend to favour the hypercapnic drive‚ where response for increased ventilation occurs to exhale excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as arterial and

Oceanographic. 3. Study Organism: The organism studied in this experiment was the bottle nosed dolphin‚ specifically its aortic valve and left ventricle. 4. What the authors are studying: This paper is investigating the stroke volume and cardiac output of bottle nose dolphins at rest and 1‚ 3‚ and 4 minutes after exercise. They used “transthoracic ultrasound Doppler’s at the level of the aortic valve” to “compare blood flow velocities in the left

Even though Hippocrates was a very prominent person known in the medical field for his many theories about medical practices‚ such as neurosurgery‚ there are many other people to thank for the advancements in the neurosurgery field. These people include Walter Dandy‚ Benjamin Carson‚ and Harvey Williams Cushing. Walter Dandy is regarded as the founder of neurosurgery‚ alongside his mentor Harvey Cushing. Walter Dandy was a graduate of the well-known University John Hopkins and after graduating‚ went

carotid arteries in the neck) and the aortic arch detect changes in blood pressure. These non-encapsulated nerve endings‚ located in the adventitial layer of arteries‚ are technically mechanoreceptors; they respond to arterial distension occurring due to a change in blood pressure. Afferents from the carotid region form the fine carotid sinus nerve which ascends into the glossopharyngeal nerve (9th cranial nerve). Afferents from the aortic region form the aortic (depressor) nerve before ascending into

Joselyn Bodnar Heart lab dissection 3/2/15 The Human heart has many complicated processes. Dissecting a sheep’s heart can help to provide an active‚ firsthand learning experience that allows to illustrate what has been previously heard and read. The sheep heart and a human heart share the same function and purpose‚ which is to keep the body alive by continually circulating blood around the body. Like a human heart‚ a sheep’s heart contains two atria and two ventricles. These four chambers
