Homeostasis What is homeostasis? Homeostasis is the mechanism in our body that regulates and maintains a stable and constant environment. This enables our body to respond to changes in the environment around us as. The homeostatic mechanisms in our body‚ observe and monitor conditions and will then make a judgment whether to change the way the body functions is order to adapt to the outside surroundings better. The main organs involved in homeostasis are; the brain‚ liver‚ skin and kidney’s.

Cardiovascular system: The circulatory system: The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart‚ arteries‚ capillaries and veins. As blood begins to circulate‚ it leaves the heart from the left ventricle and goes into the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The blood leaving the aorta is full of oxygen. This is important for

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

The SA (sinoatrial node) is a pacemaker that is in the right atrium of the heart. SA node control the heart rate using the electrical impulses that sends to the heart muscles and this is how the heart pumping blood out to the entire body and how the heart contract. The stages of the pathway of action potential: 1) The Action Potential is in the Sinoatrial node (SA). Action potential then travels from the SA node to the AV (atrioventricular node) by crossing to the wall of the atrium. 2) Then the

In this article‚ we’ll explore a few of the most common simple CHDs‚ including septal defects and valve problems. Atrial Septal Defect Inside the heart‚ the left atrium and ventricle are separated from the right atrium and ventricle by a wall. This wall is called the septum. It prevents deoxygenated
