Physiology Assignment Name Class Date Every organism has specific characteristics that make it ideal for living in the certain environment that it resides. For example‚ owls are birds that have adapted to hunting at night. They have many adaptations that allow them to be successful night hunters. One adaptation that the owl has involves their eyesight. The eyes of owls are sunk in. This allows an owl to collect and intensify light making it better able

The digestive‚ respiratory and the cardiovascular system are all interrelated in order to make the human body work effectively and efficiently by working as an orchestra. The cardiovascular system and the respiratory will work together in order to perform the gas exchange which is passing of oxygen from the alveoli into the blood flow and then the carbon dioxide passes trough the blood flow and is breathed out from the body. This means oxygen (in) CO2 (out).

1. What is the purpose of the cardiovascular system? The purpose of the cardiovascular system is to keep a steady circulation of blood and to transport vital nutrients throughout the body. 2. Where is the heart located? The heart is located under the sternum in the chest‚ below the nipples‚ towards the left side. 3. What is the shape of the heart? The shape of the heart is an upside-down pear. 4. What is the size of the heart? The heart is the size of a fist. 5. Name the three layers of the

The cardiovascular system is the movement of blood being permitted around the body to vital organs and muscles with the components of the heart‚ blood‚ and blood vessels combining together to make the cardiovascular system work. The cardiovascular systems is vital in the human body as it promotes the body’s delivery system for blood being pumped around the entire body for survival. The respiratory system also has importance in the body as it is the system to transport air into the lungs to aid the

Topic 1: I believe using abbreviations can truly help communications between health care professionals‚ because it makes it easier to convey what you are trying to say. For example‚ instead of saying or writing down “cardiopulmonary resuscitation” you could say “CPR”. This also helps speed up the process when a transcriptionist copies down a report; they don’t necessarily have to write out the full meaning and the physician who reads the report will still have a full understanding of what it

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 5 Cardiovascular Dynamics NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: Vessel Resistance The following questions refer to Activity 1: Studying the Effect of Flow Tube Radius on Fluid Flow. 1. At which radius was the fluid flow rate the highest? 6.0 mm 2. What was the flow rate at this radius? 1017.2 mmHg 3. Describe the relationship between flow rate and radius size. The relationship between the flow rate and the radius size is direct with the formula flow rate=radius to the fourth

* GROUP 2: Elrey Joseph Calitis Mae Anjneth Cuaton How Atrial Tachycardia happens? Electrical signals in the heart’s upper chambers fire abnormally‚ which interferes with electrical signals coming from the sinoatrial (SA) node --- the heart’s natural pacemaker. A series of early beats in the atria speeds up the heart rate. The rapid heartbeat does not allow enough time for the heart to fill before it contracts so blood flow to the rest of the body is compromised. Video Presentation

Chapter 19 The Cardiovascular System: The Heart 1. How is the heart positioned in the mediastinum? It rests on the diaphragm‚ near the midline of the thoracic cavity‚ with about two-thirds of the mass lying to the left of the body’s midline. 2. Which layer of the pericardium is both a part of the pericardium and a part of the heart wall? Serous pericardium 3. What is the function of pericardial fluid? Reduces friction between the membranes as the heart moves 4. From most superficial
