is to bring oxygen bearing blood to all the tissues of the Body. During Pulmonary Circulation blood circulates to and from the lungs to release carbon dioxide and pick up new oxygen. The veins bring waste rich blood back to the heart entering the Right Atrium through out two large veins Inferior and Superior Vena Cava. The Right Atrium fills with waste rich blood and contracts pushing blood out through a one way valve into the right ventricle. These one way valves are to prevent

Task 1a: Erythrocytes: These are also known as red blood cells and contain haemoglobin with their primary function being to carry oxygen from the lungs then disperse it into the tissues throughout the body through a series of capillaries. The distinctive red colour of the erythrocytes or red blood cells is due to their contents of haemoglobin. In order to facilitate its purpose the erythrocytes can be described as biconcave in shape therefore enabling them to diffuse oxygen around the body with

small intestine into amino acids. The villi on the walls of the small intestine absorb the amino acids into the hepatic portal vein. Hepatic portal vein is a special vein that transports digested material from the small intestine to the liver. The liver plays a big role in maintaining the level of protein in our body. It absorbs all amino acids from the hepatic portal vein. If the body needs proteins‚ they will pass through the liver into the blood stream to be used by the body cells to make protein

As we go north pass through the external and common iliac veins on our way to the small intestines where we can see most of the colon. The common iliac vein is one piece of a large system that allows blood circulation from the lower abdomen and legs. This vein is where the external iliac veins and internal iliac veins

Generalized Structure of Arteries‚ Veins and Capillaries Types of Blood Vessels Elastic arteries: Contain much elastic tissue Larger arteries closer to the heart Must expand when heart pumps much blood into them and then passively recoil after blood passes by. Thus‚ must withstand pressure fluctuations Muscular arteries: Have less elastic tissue‚ but substantial muscle tissue Smaller arteries farther from heart Exposed to less extreme pressure fluctuations Veins: Far from heart Not subjected

Superior vena cava: The superior vena cava is the superior It is a large-diameter (24 mm)‚ yet short‚ vein that receives venous return from the upper half of the body‚ above the diaphragm.

Our route from here will be to enter the body by injection into the right femoral vein‚ which is located in the upper thigh and pelvic region of the body and runs close to the femoral artery (Tamburlin & Severin‚ 2011). Once inside the body‚ we are to continue on a path that can lead us to the infected area. During my journey I will
