3. List 4 abdominal organs that you observed. Describe their position relative to each other using correct anatomical terms. (Rachel Mindel) The pancreas is located in the upper abdomen‚ is posterior to the stomach and some parts are in between both the stomach and the spine. The right side of the organ which is called the head‚ is nestled in the curve of the duodenum (juncture where the stomach meets the first part of the small intestine). The tapered left side of the organ is called the body

Catheters are also used to inject dye into the coronary arteries. CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION CPT PROCEDURE A common medical diagnostic procedure used to examine the heart. This test can measure blood pressure within the heart and how much oxygen is in the blood. It’s also used to get information about the pumping

Atherosclerosis Effect of the heart: Plaques build up in the coronary arteries‚ which leads to decreased blood flow causing some of the heart tissue to become oxygen deprived. Also if a artery is completely blocked then tissue death occurs which can cause a heart attack. Symptoms: This disease develops gradually‚ usually doesn’t have symptoms. Symptoms are similar to those of a heart attack and may cause chest pain. If you have it in your arteries leading to your brain then you may have symptoms such as numbness

* The pulmonary circulation – sends blood from the heart to the lungs. * The systemic circulation – sends blood from the heart to all the other parts of our bodies. Blood consists of red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ platelets‚ and plasma. It is pumped by the heart to flow through blood vessels to provide nutrients to and remove waste from cells and tissues of the body. The heart is the key organ in

He had gained weight from eating fatty foods‚ and had started smoking again. Joseph had a lot of stress from working long hours‚ and did nothing when he had felt tightness in his chest. These risk factors all affect cellular function. The blood slows‚ along with oxygen‚ glucose‚ and essential ions it carries that

vessels (arteries) have persistently raised pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood exerting against the walls of arteries as it is pumped by the heart through out the body. Therefore‚ hypertension occurs when the blood is pushes harder against the arterial wall. It is called the “SILENT KILLER" because it shows no signs and symptoms that is why it is important to check blood pressure regularly. A blood pressure reading has a top number (systolic) which is the pressure in the arteries as heart

muscle. It often happens at rest. Unstable angina is not a heart attack. 3 Heart attack Heart attack is different from angina. A means a coronary artery has been blocked and the heart has been damaged. Without blood flow and oxygen‚ part of the heart starts to die. 4 Hypotension hypotension is low blood pressure‚ especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension‚ which is high blood pressure. It is best understood as a physiological state

in African Americans Heart disease‚ technically known as cardiovascular disease (CVD)‚ is the number one killer of African Americans. Cardiovascular disease is the narrowing of arteries due to the build-up of atherosclerosis‚ or plaque‚ in the walls of arteries (Heart.org). This narrowing of the blood vessels and arteries causes the blockage of oxygen and blood supply needed for proper function of the heart. African Americans are at much higher risk for heart disease because of socioeconomic status
