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

The role of the cardiovascular system in maintaining homeostasis can be considered one of the most important. Cardiovascular homeostasis regulates the delivery of hormones and nutrients in the body‚ along with the removal of waste products through the blood stream. It responsible for maintaining stability in the face of changes of the internal and external sort. One way the cardiovascular system performs homeostasis is when the body is exposed to a hot

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

Cardiovascular risk factors There are many risk factors associated with coronary heart disease and stroke. Some risk factors such as family history‚ ethnicity and age‚ cannot be changed. Other risk factors that can be treated or changed include tobacco exposure‚ high blood pressure (hypertension)‚ high cholesterol‚ obesity‚ physical inactivity‚ diabetes‚ unhealthy diets‚ and harmful use of alcohol. Of particular significance in developing countries is the fact that while they are grappling with

Chemical and Environmental Effects on the Heart Introduction The heart is the centerpiece of the circulatory system‚ its muscular contractions allow for the timely delivery of essential gases and nutrients to virtually all cells of the body. The pressure created by the heart also plays a vital role in eliminating wastes through organs such as the kidney‚ thus the heart delivers and helps maintain nutrient and waste composition throughout the body. The heart‚ like all muscle cells‚ releases ionic
