The cardiovascular system plays a very important role in keeping the body alive. It is responsible for transportation of blood around the body. Blood carries many important things such as oxygen and nutrients to various organs allowing them to function properly. Blood also carries waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs for gas exchange and metabolic waste to the kidneys for filtration and excretion. The cardiovascular system comprises of three different parts these being the heart‚ blood and

Questions to Accompany Physio-Ex: Cardiovascular Dynamics 1. Describe the relationship between blood pressure and blood flow. Blood flow is the amount of blood flowing through a vessel‚ tissue‚ or organ during a given period of time and Blood pressure is the force exerted on a vessel wall by the blood traveling through it. 2. Describe the relationship between blood viscosity and blood flow. As blood viscosity increases‚ blood flow decreases. 3. Describe the relationship between vessel

Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the important cardiovascular disease‚ which often leads to narrowed arteries that obstruct the flow of oxygenated blood which may limit the oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and can lead to a heart attack. The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

becoming something in the medical field. Anatomy has always been a very important factor to have in my life because of all the things I’ve witnessed growing up in a place where there was no one educated enough to help out. Thus‚ I took the Anatomy and Physiology course provided at my school. Taking this class informed me of the structure and functions of the body parts in the human system such as the Immune and Digestive system‚ which can affect pregnant women. Taking this course along with other science

the body. These are just a few of the many contributors who added to our understanding of the human body and how it functions. Anatomy is the study of the structure or morphology of the body and how the body parts are organized. | | | Physiology is the study of the functions of body parts‚ what they do and how they do it. These two areas of the organization of the body are so closely associated that it is difficult to separate them. For example‚ our mouth has teeth to break down food mechanically

3. There are two types of blood‚ oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor in cardiovascular system. 3a. What’s the partial pressure of O2 and CO2 in oxygen-rich blood respectively? How do they affect the pH value of the blood (6 points)? Decides the development of CO2 and O2 amongst air and lungs‚ amongst lungs and blood‚ and amongst blood and body cells.Blood gets to be acidic when there is an expansion in CO2 content (this relationship will be portrayed further amid your class on blood-gas examination)
