Cardiovascular system consists of the heart which pumping and transporting blood to the body through blood vessels which is the other part of the cardiovascular system. The blood vessels consist of veins‚ capillaries‚ and arteries. Each one of the blood vessels has a specific function such as arteries which transfer the blood from the heart to the whole body‚ and veins which have the reverse process which carries the blood back to the heart. This is a simple definition of cardiovascular system. Then

This essay will explain the function of the respiratory‚ digestive and cardiovascular systems and how they work together to produce nutrients and oxygen to the cells for cellular respiration (energy for the body) The first system in the body is the digestive system. When food enters the mouth the salivary glands secrete saliva which mixes with the food. This makes it easy to chew and swallow. Once the food has been chewed enough the food travels down the oesophagus to the stomach. Once the food

Introduction In the United States‚ Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) remains the greatest common cause of death. Cardiovascular Diseases‚ also known as the common heart diseases‚ are any conditions that involve blocked blood vessels that can lead to either a heart attack or other heart problems. The common types of CVD are coronary artery disease‚ high blood pressure‚ stroke‚ and arrhythmia. CVD is a major disease that will not show any symptoms until the disease is at its extreme. Yet numerous adults

health in two ways. First of all‚ exercise provides to strengthen the cardiovascular health. That is‚ regular exercise decreases the risk of heart attack. In that way‚ exercise improves the circulation of blood. Also‚ the heart pumps a lot of blood through the veins with more than the normal amount of oxygen. Therefore‚ regular exercise is important for cardiovascular health. The second way is that regular exercise helps people to increase

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

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
