right femoral vein to lower lobe of the right lung via the pulmonary artery. If blood did not flow through the body we as humans could not function the way we currently do. Oxygenated blood is carried through the body by veins and arteries and this is what feeds the body so it can function (Thibodeau‚ Patton‚ 2008.). Oxygenated blood is carried through the body by veins and arteries. The path blood take from the right femoral vein to lower lobe of the right lung via the pulmonary artery is as follows;

Advanced Biology Tuesday‚ January 17‚ 2012 Cardiovascular System The heart weighs 300 grams and is shaped like a grapefruit and has two atria‚ two ventricles‚ and four valves receive blood from both venae cavae and the four pulmonary veins‚ and throw it into the aorta and pulmonary trunk. The heart pumps blood to 9 liters per day‚ making from 60 to 160 beats per minute. The heart is covered with a dense fibrous membrane - the pericardium‚ forming serous cavity filled with liquid

Oxygenated blood is pumped away from the heart to the rest of the body‚ while deoxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs where it is re-oxygenated before returning to the heart. The total blood volume is unevenly distrubted among the arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. The heart arteries and capillaries in the pulmonary and systemic circuits normally contain30 percent of blood volume like 1.5 liters of whole blood. And the venous system contains the rest 65-70 percent and that’s about 3.5 liters. One third roughly

to all the arteries. Brachiocephalic artery: The brachiocephalic artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart. It supplies the brain‚ right arm‚ and neck with blood. Common carotid artery: The common carotid artery supplies oxygenated blood to the front of the brain as well as the head‚ neck‚ face‚ and spinal cord. Subclavian artery: The subclavian artery carries blood away from the heart and supplies oxygenated blood to the arms. Left pulmonary vein: The left pulmonary vein carries oxygenated

measures the pressure in the arteries as the left ventricle contracts. Diastolic blood pressure‚ the lowest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the ventricles relax and refill with blood just before the next ventricular contraction. We measure blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. To measure the systolic pressure‚ place the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm and inflate the cuff until blood flow in the brachial artery is stopped. Then we slowly

TOPIC 6‚ 11‚ & OPTION H: HUMAN HEALTH AND PHYSIOLOGY Digestive System Includes all the structures that are concerned with bringing food into the body to provide for the needs of the body’s cells. Each cell in an organism relies on a continuous expenditure of energy. Fats‚ carbs‚ and proteins are broken down during cellular metabolism and the energy derived from them is used to make ATP. The digestive system deals with: Ingestion‚ which is the bringing of nutrients into the body. Mechanical
