Performing cardiovascular and respiratory assessments is important in patients of all ages. Respiratory assessments determine the sufficiency of the oxygen in the body. This type of assessment can determine of there is enough oxygen in the body and if it is traveling adequately to maintain the health of the patient. Cardiovascular assessments are important for comparable reasons. They ensure that the heart is performing sufficiently enough to properly deliver blood throughout the body. There are

Ginkgo biloba affects the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. Elasticity of the blood vessels‚ from the largest arteries to the smallest capillaries‚ improves the circulation in the limbs and brain. Similarly‚ acetylsalicylic acid acts by reducing blood viscosity and by reducing the risk of blood clots. It also has antioxidant properties. It removes free radicals and protects healthy blood cells. Some researchers claim that it supports the nervous system. increasing the supply of

The structures and functions of organs determine their relationships within body systems of an organism. Homeostasis allows the body to perform its normal functions. Explain how the circulatory system (heart‚ arteries‚ veins‚ capillaries‚ red blood cells) transports nutrients and oxygen to cells and removes cell wastes

Age Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System Age Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System In the normal conduction of the heart the electrical impulse starts in the SA node‚ also called the pacemaker of the heart. The electrical impulse travels through the right atrium and through the Bachmann’s bundle into the left atrium. This stimulates the atria to contract. Next the signal travel to the AV node. The AV node slightly delays the signal. This delay is needed

Describe the physiology of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy. A.T.P is stored‚ chemical energy in the cell‚ without A.T.P we would die. To make A.T.P we need glucose oxygen. Carbon dioxide and heat are the waste products. The main function of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy is to transport the oxygen and glucose to the cells‚ and to transport the waste products such as carbon dioxide and urea (waste product from protein digestion) away from the cells and to the lungs

Future of Respiratory Therapy By entering the field of respiratory therapy‚ one is entering a growing field of opportunity. There are continually emergent job opportunities in this field whereas there is also a rise of growth in the technology and developments in the field such as medicines‚ techniques‚ and other aspects. Respiratory therapy refers to both a subject area within clinical medicine and to a distinct health care profession. During the 20th century‚ there were many health care fundamental

oxygen and respiratory disease. Respiratory disease is the term used for defining diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‚ emphysema and asthma. Common signs and symptoms of respiratory disease are coughing‚ wheezing‚ dyspnoea and production of abnormal secretions like sputum and haemoptysis (Jenkins et al 2008). Respiratory disease accounted for 8.4% of the registered deaths in Australia in 2007. There was an estimated 6.6% increase in deaths caused by respiratory disease from

The cardiovascular system is a vital part of our body and it is crucial for us to lead a healthy lifestyle to maintain the structures of our body. Structures of the cardiovascular system include the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. Structures of the Cardiovascular System Heart The heart is the most important organ in our body as it provides every part with blood. The heart pumps blood by producing electrical impulses which cause the ventricles to contract and relax and pump blood to the
