called breathing or ventilation. Pulmonary Ventilation is the term given to the movement of air in and out of the lungs; the rate of pulmonary ventilation is defined as the tidal volume multiplied by the number of breaths taken per minute. Tidal volume is the volume of air breathed in or out during one cycle of quiet breathing. There are a few different factors that can affect the pulmonary ventilation rate but the most common and often most noticeable variation in pulmonary variation rate occurs during

When your heart contracts and forces blood into the blood vessels‚ there is a certain path that the blood follows through our body. The blood moves through pulmonary circulation and then continues on through systemic circulation. Pulmonary and systemic are the two circuits in the two-circuit system of higher animals with closed circulatory systems. As the heart pumps‚ blood is pushed through our body through the entire circulatory system. Oxygenated blood is pumped away from the heart to the rest

II. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS Three days prior to admission‚ the patient suffered from fever‚ cough‚ and colds. He didn’t receive any medications or even consulted a physician. One day prior to admission‚ he suffered difficulty of breathing which triggered his parents to bring him to the hospital. They went first in the OPD and he was assessed with (+) head hobbing‚ (+) nasal flaring‚ and (+) rales. He was admitted at the PICU ward for further evaluation. Through the diagnosis

The cardiovascular system is an organ system that distributes blood to all parts of the body. The cardiovascular system is a very important system in your body because it is the body delivery system for circulation of blood‚ which is made up of blood‚ blood vessels‚ and the heart. Cardiovascular can be compared to the muscular pump equipped with one-way valves‚ also a system of large and small plumbing tube where the blood travels through. The circulatory system is important because it transport

The Incredible Human Body Jennifer Perez HS130 Professor Rice Kaplan University Hello folks and welcome to the tour of a lifetime! We are going to be seeing many incredible sights today so buckle up and enjoy the ride. We begin our journey in the femoral artery of this extremely fit female subject‚ Miss Waters. (Be sure to thank her when the ride has come to an end.) Okay‚ here go. The femoral artery is very large in size and is located in the inner part of the thigh. A femoral artery can

Pulmonary artery haemorrhage is dark red (venous blood) at around 30 mmHg (4 kPa)‚ while bleeding from the pulmonary veins is bright red (oxygenated). Capillary haemorrhage is bright red‚ often rapid‚ ooze. If it continued for many hours‚ blood loss may become

ventricular septal defect (VSD)‚ which is a hole between the left and right ventricles. The second is an overriding aorta. The aorta‚ instead of rising from the left ventricle‚ is located further to the right‚ directly above the VSD. Third‚ there is pulmonary valve stenosis. The narrowing of the pulmonic valve induces the right side of the heart to work harder to push blood through it and results in the fourth defect‚ right ventricular hypertrophy (Children’s MN‚ 2012).
