This section needs to be deleted‚ only used for submission purposes (misspelled): Dialated Veins Sclerptherapy Reticular veins are also referred to as ‘blue veins’ or ‘feeder veins.’ This condition occurs when dilated veins allow the outgoing blood to flow the opposite direction (backward). This increase in the pressure causes the veins to become enlarged. They can also twist and cause green or blue lines beneath the skin‚ which often creates an unsightly marbling effect.

1.6 Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the main factor in sustaining blood flow through tissues. The force applied to the arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the circulatory system defines the physiological meaning of blood pressure (Bojanov‚ 2009). Blood pressure is determined by the force‚ heartbeat rate‚ and resistance to blood flow through vessels. Cyclic changes in arterial blood pressure are partially attributed to the rhythmic contractions in the left ventricle (Iaizzo‚ 2009)

Portocaval anastomosis In medicine‚ portal anastomosis is considered as an alternative route of the blood circulation‚ which enables the Blood to bleed off to the vena cava inferior‚ if the vena portae hepatis is blocked. Such an anastomosis occurs between the veins of portal circulation and those of systemic circulation. A congestion of the vena portae (caused for example by cirrhosis of the liver) hepatis can cause a portal hypertension. Blood flowes directly to the vena cava by portalcaval

NRSG258 Acute Care Nursing – S00169019 1- My chosen patient Paul is a 45-year-old man who has torn his rotator cuff during a rugby game. After consultation the surgeon informs Paul that he will require a shoulder arthroscopy with rotator cuff repair followed by rehabilitation. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons (supraspinatus‚ infraspinatus‚ teres minor and subscapularis) attached to the bones of the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff connects the humerus (upper arm) to the scapula

The septum form is that ist a wall that divides the left side of the heart from the right side. This keeps the deoxygenated blood from mixing with the oxygenated blood. With the septum having the function of being like a wall it allows it to keep its function of being a barrier between the left and right side of the heart. Respiratory The lungs form is pretty much a sac that is like a balloon. It is flexible in order to inflate and deflate. The lung being like a balloon and flexible allows it to

Introduction In the United States‚ Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) remains the greatest common cause of death. Cardiovascular Diseases‚ also known as the common heart diseases‚ are any conditions that involve blocked blood vessels that can lead to either a heart attack or other heart problems. The common types of CVD are coronary artery disease‚ high blood pressure‚ stroke‚ and arrhythmia. CVD is a major disease that will not show any symptoms until the disease is at its extreme. Yet numerous adults

Anatomy and Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory
