1.a. Increase pressure from the thoracic cavity onto the venae cavae causes the stroke volume to decreases‚ cardiac output would decrease‚ venous blood pressure would eventually increase and venous return would also eventually increase. b. Fainting is due to a drop in blood flow to the brain. And holding your breath causes the heart rate to slow and blood vessels to dilate‚ which then leads to blood pools in the lower body and less blood going up to the brain. c. Compensatory mechanism that become

The human body is a well-oiled machine that serves as a capsule throughout its first and last breath. When this synergy of organs‚ bones and muscles is presented with an ailment‚ this system falls short of the masterpiece it is thought to be and affects not only the patient‚ but also others around them. Regardless of the ailment at hand‚ the effects or analysis of the ailment can be seen through three different lenses: illness seen from oneself‚ disease seen by physicians and medical professionals

Diagnosis: The patient seems to be suffering from Dilated Congestive Cardiomyopathy (DCM)‚ or in simple terms‚ congestive heart failure; specifically ventricular failure. Justification for Diagnosis: The patient said he had been suffering of acute dyspnea which would be caused by the lungs filling with fluid since the heart isn’t able to pump properly. Due to the patients hip replacement it is possible for him to have an infective agent even though he was said to not have one. Sometimes the disorder

Cardiac Output most used tool to measure heart function The volume of blood ejected by the heart per minute. CO= Heart Rate x Stroke Volume EX: 70bt/min X 70ml/bt = 4900ml/min ~ 5L/min Regulation of Heart Beat HR is regulated through the balance of parasympathetic and sympathetic influence on the SA node. 1 action potential = 1 electrical impulse Parasympathetic: Slows HR Sympathetic: Speeds HR Parasympathetic Regulation of HR At rest‚ parasympathetic nerves will release Acetylcholine

Cardiovascular Pathology The heart has many components to it and all of them are essential to keep the heart pumping. Three problems that can occur in a heart are atria or ventricles not functioning properly‚ the electrical activity‚ or coronary artery disease. While all of these problems are different they can all be deadly if left untreated. The heart is a very important organ and should be taken care of properly. When an atria or ventricle goes isn’t working right it completely changes your

Potassium is a major electrolyte that helps the body maintain fluid balance and action potentials. It does this by moving in and out of the body’s cells with the help of the sodium-potassium pump‚ an active transport system than moves potassium against its concentration gradient. This is what gives cells their membrane potential. In acidosis‚ there is a high concentration of hydrogen ions in the extracellular fluid‚ this promotes an influx of Hydrogen ions into the cells. As the electro positive

Systemic Lupus erythematosus and Hypertension are both diseases that are involved with the Visele family. Systemic Lupus is an autoimmune disease while hypertension is a disease that is considered genetic. Systemic Lupus erythematosus is “a chronic inflammatory condition caused by an autoimmune disease (1)” “Hypertension is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as it flows through them. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated

Tetralogy Of Fallot‚ Adult Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is a heart condition present at birth (congenital heart defect). ToF develops early in pregnancy‚ when the heart is dividing and forming its pumping chambers. The heart defects of ToF prevent some of the blood from your body from going directly to your lungs for oxygen. This causes the blood entering your heart to mix with the blood leaving your heart. ToF makes it difficult for your body to get enough oxygen-rich blood. There are 4 defects that
