Cardiovascular disease is a common chronic illness in our society and it causes over half the deaths in the US each year. It affects all aspects of the heart. It affects the arteries that supply blood to the heart‚ the valves which pumps the blood and the heart muscles‚ itself. People who don’t take care of themselves can develop cardiovascular disease‚ which can cause heart attacks‚ congestive heart failure or strokes. A patient’s risk of cardiovascular disease increases if

Trace the path of a drop of blood from the time it enters the vena cava until it reaches your little finger. Be sure to include the types of blood vessels involved. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from superior and inferior vena cava after having been circulated through the body. ----------------------- From the right atrium‚ blood moves to the right ventricle and is pumped through

Introduction: The capacity to perform physical exercise has been of paramount importance in the continuous process of animals’ adaptation to the environment throughout evolution. When challenged with any physical task‚ the human body responds through a series of integrated changes in function that involve most‚ if not all‚ of its physiological systems. Movement requires activation and control of the musculoskeletal system; the cardiovascular and respiratory systems provide the ability to sustain

The cardiovascular system is an organ system comprised of the heart‚ blood and blood vessels. The cardiovascular system forms a part of the circulatory system‚ which circulates blood‚ lymph and oxygen throughout the body. The cardiovascular system works in conjunction with the digestive system to move nutrients throughout the body‚ and is also closely related to nervous system function. Here are some facts and functions of the cardiovascular system. 1. The Heart is at the Center of the Cardiovascular

The Physiology of Fitness – Acute and long term effects on the body Musculoskeletal System Response to acute exercise Increased Blood Supply During exercise your blood supply increases to your muscles‚ the reason for this is to keep them working and making sure that they don’t get tired too easily. Increase in Muscle Pliability During exercise your muscles will also become more pliable because as the muscles contract quickly they will generate heat‚ this then makes the muscles more pliable
