The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood vessels‚ which are divided into arteries‚ veins and capillaries. The blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to the cells in the body. The arteries carry blood away from the heart and the veins carry it back to the heart. Capillaries are found in the muscles and the lungs‚ they have valves to stop the blood flowing backwards and this is also where gaseous exchange takes place. The heart works as a pump that pushes blood to the organs‚ tissues

Chapter 11 ARDS INTRODUCTION Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - lung inflammation seen at the level of the alveolar capillary membrane with increased vascular permeability. ARDS results in: bilateral pulmonary edema and atelectasis despite no evidence of left heart failure (e.g.‚ normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). ARDS is present when the ALI results in such severe hypoxia that at the PaO2/FIO2 ratio is 200 mm Hg or less. Approximately 10% to 15% of intensive care

distinctive howls. Big in size yet only weighing 10kg‚ their distinctive howls can be heard over 3 miles away from their location even in the dense rainforest. Their ability to emit howls is the result of their large hyoid bones and their throat structure that works together to project the loud howls. Various studies have been done to exam their social patterns and if the loud howls they emit are part of a larger scheme in their social behaviors. Howler monkeys not only use their howls to communicate

Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms‚ and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ alveoli‚ pleura and pleural cavity‚ and the nerves and muscles of breathing. Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting‚ such as the common cold‚ to life-threatening entities like bacterial pneumonia‚ pulmonary embolism‚ and lung cancer
