The action of ANS-related drugs on smooth muscle Introduction In the following experiment‚ the key objective is to compare the mechanical changes in tonic force by longitudinal smooth muscle after the addition of different concentrations of the drugs noradrenaline and acetylcholine. Peristalsis is the wave of muscle contractions that allow circular muscles to constrict the gut and longitudinal muscles to shorten it in an attempt to move the food bolus towards the rectum.

One study implied that the quality of life for a child‚ five years after ECMO treatment‚ was less than that of average children without health caries. It also indicated that quality of life was like those who had implanted pacemaker defibrillators or even those with Fontan physiology.

Heart Failure Heart failure (HF)‚ often called congestive heart failure (CHF) or congestive cardiac failure (CCF)‚ occurs when the heart is unable to provide sufficient pump action to distribute blood flow to meet the needs of the body. Heart failure can cause a number of symptoms including shortness of breath‚ leg swelling‚ and exercise intolerance. The condition is diagnosed with echocardiography and blood tests. Treatment commonly consists of: lifestyle measures such as smoking cessation

Tetralogy Of Fallot‚ Adult Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is a heart condition present at birth (congenital heart defect). ToF develops early in pregnancy‚ when the heart is dividing and forming its pumping chambers. The heart defects of ToF prevent some of the blood from your body from going directly to your lungs for oxygen. This causes the blood entering your heart to mix with the blood leaving your heart. ToF makes it difficult for your body to get enough oxygen-rich blood. There are 4 defects that
Premium Heart Blood Myocardial infarction
The left coronary artery supplies blood to the left atrium and ventricle‚ while the right artery supplies blood to the right atrium and ventricle‚ as well as the SA and AV nodes. The SA node causes the atria to contract being the body’s natural pacemaker and the AV node receives the signal from the SA node which causes a pause until the atria is fully emptied of blood. When these arteries in the heart begin to be filled with plaque and cholesterol‚ it is known as atherosclerosis. This is how the
