The cardiovascular system plays a very important role in keeping the body alive. It is responsible for transportation of blood around the body. Blood carries many important things such as oxygen and nutrients to various organs allowing them to function properly. Blood also carries waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs for gas exchange and metabolic waste to the kidneys for filtration and excretion. The cardiovascular system comprises of three different parts these being the heart‚ blood and

Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the important cardiovascular disease‚ which often leads to narrowed arteries that obstruct the flow of oxygenated blood which may limit the oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and can lead to a heart attack. The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

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

Dynamic Learning Program “Learning by doing” and ” Road map and a compass for learning”. The Dynamic Learning Program works on the principle of “learning is by doing”‚ it is student-centered‚ it’s a system of teaching that focuses on student activity rather than on traditional classroom lectures. The set-up is 70% student activity–30% lecture/discussion‚ and usually national experts do the majority of the lectures via video. The students learn independently‚ because each activity is provided
