ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Chronic Kidney Disease Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the circulatory system. It consists of the heart‚ which is a muscular pumping device‚ and a closed system of vessels called arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. As the name implies‚ blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body. The Heart * The heart

of the cardiovascular system‚ which distributes blood‚[1] and the lymphatic system‚[2] which distributes lymph. While humans‚ as well as other vertebrates‚ have a closed cardiovascular system (meaning that the blood never leaves the network of arteries‚ veins and capillaries)‚ some invertebrate groups have an open cardiovascular system. The most primitive animal phyla lack circulatory systems. The lymphatic system‚ on the other hand‚ is an open system. Two types of fluids move through the circulatory

INTRODUCTION Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy‚ previously known as Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH)‚ are high blood pressure disorders of pregnancy. It has long been one of the major problems for mothers in pregnancy‚ along with infection and postpartum hemorrhage. PIH is classified as gestational hypertension‚ mild preeclampsia‚ severe preeclampsia and eclampsia‚ depending on how far development advances. A woman is said to be preeclamptic when her blood pressure increases and shows protein

unusual changes that would lead to to your death. The structure of the heart is made up of the atria‚ ventricles‚ bicuspid & tricuspid valve‚ chodae tendineae‚ aortic & pulmonary valve‚ aorta‚ superior & inferior vena cave and the pulmonary vein and artery. all of these serve their own purpose and help the heart function properly. Blood Vessels- Blood vessels are channels where blood gets dished out to the body’s tissues. The vessels are two systems of tubes that start and end at the heart. One

Bruce’s right leg. (4 marks) Deep vein thrombosis refers to the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein in the leg. Deep vein thrombosis tends to occur in leg veins‚ such as the popliteal or femoral veins‚ as well as deep veins within the pelvis. The blocked vein in Bruce’s right led caused edema and led to tissue ischemia. Edema developed inferior to the blocked vein. Blockage of the vein increased the capillary hydrostatic pressure increased the amount of fluid that flowed from the capillaries

The saphenous vein can be harvested from one or both legs‚ either endoscopically or openly. The vein will be divided into separate shorter segments according to the number of necessary bypasses‚ and each segment will be used for bypasses individually. The distal end of the vein will be anastomosed proximately with the aorta in a reversed position so that the semilunar valves
