There are many diseases that humans should try to avoid‚ but if they happen it is best to get them situated. Arteriosclerosis‚ Hypertension‚ Aortic Aneurysm‚ Heart Disease‚ Varicose Veins‚ and Chronic Venous Insufficiency‚ Angina‚ and Peripheral Vascular Disease are all problems that can proceed in the cardiovascular system. Arteriosclerosis is a circulatory disease that is caused by fat buildup

Disseminated gonococcal infection is caused by hematogenous infection of N. gonorrhoeae from the primary site of infection. It occurs in both men and women‚ but is seen more frequently in women‚ because women with gonorrhea are often asymptomatic‚ which allows the dissemination of infection before the patient experiences symptoms. Pregnancy‚ menses‚ and terminal component complement deficiencies also increase the risk for disseminated gonococcal infection as a result of endometrial exposure of submucosal

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a disease in which waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries are used to supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart‚ so if they’re continuously blocked up‚ it can be very dangerous. If the flow of this oxygen-rich blood is reduced or blocked‚ a heart attack can occur. It is the number one cause of death in the United States for both men and women and although this type of disease mainly happens at an older age‚ it can happen

ἀνεύρυσμα - aneurusma "dilation"‚ from ἀνευρύνειν - aneurunein "to dilate") is a localized‚ blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel.[1] Aneurysms can commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and an aortic aneurysm occurs in the main artery carrying blood from the left ventricle of the heart. When the size of an aneurysm increases‚ there is a significant risk of rupture‚ resulting in severe hemorrhage‚ other complications or death. Aneurysms can be

Valves * The heart contains the two atrioventricular valves (AV) and two semilunar valves as well as the Chordae Tendineae and the Papillary Muscles * AV valves are Tricuspid Valve and Mitral Valve * Semilunar valves are Pulmonic Valve and Aortic Valve * Chordae Tendineae and Papillary Muscles work together to prevent valve leaflets from turning inside out. * Normally‚ the cavity between the pericardial

PHYSIOEX 3.0 EXERCISE 33: CARDIOVASCULAR DYNAMICS Objectives 1. To define the following: blood flow; viscosity; peripheral resistance; systole; diastole; end diastolic volume; end systolic volume; stroke volume; cardiac output. 2. To explore cardiovascular dynamics using an experimental setup to simulate a human body function. 3. To understand that heart and blood vessel functions are highly coordinated. 4. To comprehend that pressure differences provide the driving force that moves blood

Describe (P4) the role of energy in the body and explain (M1) the physiology of three named body system in relation to energy metabolism. Introduction I will try to describe the role of energy in the body and explain the physiology of three names body system in relation to energy metabolism. I will try explain where energy comes from‚ how the body uses energy‚ how many calories do we need‚ what is metabolism/catabolism and anabolism and also I will try explain cellular respiration aerobic/anaerobic

coronary sinus. The blood then passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. With each contraction‚ the right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs. Blood flows from the lungs to the left atium by way of the pulmonary veins. It then passes through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle. As the heart contracts‚ blood is ejected through the aortic valve into the aorta and thus enters the high-pressure systemic

As the ventricles contract‚ what prevents the atrioventricular valves from swinging upward into the atria? Pressure of the ventricular blood driving the cusps upward until the valve are closed 11. Why does blood ejected into the pulmonary trunk or aorta normally not flow back through the semilunar valve? Back-flowing blood in the ventricles
