Tricuspid valve

This essay is going to be talking about what body systems are affected by the symptoms provided in the case study and how the patient’s health can be improved. It will also be looking at the structure and function of one of the body systems affected. The patient from the case study has a BMI of 18.5, which means that she is underweight. According to NHS choices (2014), the immune system does not function properly when a person is underweight making them more susceptible to contracting the flu…

On June 23, 1858 a well established Medical Practitioner named Antoine Prosper Marfan and his wife Adelaïde Thuries bought a new life into the world. Antoine Prosper and Adelaide’s son was named Antoine Bernard-Jean Marfan. Bernard’s father, Antoine Prosper had refused to accept his son’s choice in pursuing a career in the medical field. Prosper later gave up on arguing with his son and Bernard went off to study at a medical school in Toulouse, France. Two years went by and Bernard decided to go…

sound of the closing of the aortic and pulmonary vales, occurring during ventricular systole. Abnormal- Heart murmurs are extraneous heart sounds due to the turbulent flow of blood going backwards through the valves when they do not close tightly (regurgitation) or forwards through the valves that do not open completely (stenosis). The Role of autonomic NS on heart rate The heart is controlled by two branches of the autonomic nervous system. • The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) • The…

Ventilation and perfusion work together in the body to provide oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide. Ventilation provides tissue and organs oxygen by the process of mechanical inspiration and exhalation of the lungs. This provides the alveoli within the lungs with oxygen, as well as the ability to expel waste products like carbon dioxide. Perfusion provides the tissues and organs with oxygen by the mechanism of diffusion between the pulmonary capillaries and alveoli. Ventilation Ventilation…

the human body. According to research, the heart is a muscle that repeats the same pumping action during the whole lifespan of an individual and is about the size of ones fist. The heart is made up of several elements like the aorta and the mitral valves, along with other vital parts. When we think of a muscle, we imagine skeletal muscles, the muscles that display how strong one is. In reality the heart is a cardiac muscle with thick muscle tissue that contracts to pump blood outward and when…

have the right atrium, from the right atrium the flows through the tricuspid valve. Upcoming the blood flow goes through the right ventricle, to the pulmonary valve, succeeding to the pulmonary artery than to the right and left lung. On the left side of the heart we have pulmonary veins the blood flow continues to the left atrium, through the bicuspid valve. The following the blood goes through the left ventricle to the aortic valve, than to the aorta, to the rest of the whole body. The heart is…

Function of heart and lungs The heart and the lungs are the most important part of the human body. The human body is able to function properly with the help of heart and lungs. The lungs help the human body in the respiration process and gas exchange, whereas the heart has the job to pump blood into the body. The heart uses the help of blood vessels to deliver blood into the body. The blood vessel, vein, has the duty to deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart. The deoxygenated blood pass into…

Acute heart failure may occur in instances such as MI whilst compensated heart failure customarily develops steadily, for example, in patients with degenerative valve diseases. Heart failure can also be categorised depending on the side of the heart affected. Reduced cardiac output from the left atrium and ventricle are termed Left-sided heart failure whereas right sided heart failure involves the right atrium…

1. What is the definition of your disease? How does someone know if they have this disease? What are the typical signs or symptoms of your disease or disorder? Include a maximum of 6. What is the typical test used to diagnose someone with this disease? Briefly explain this test. What is the positive test for this disease? Turner Syndrome is a rather unusual chromosomal disorder affecting females which was uncovered by Dr. Henry Turner in 1938 (Saikia, Sarma, & Yadav, 2017). The only way to…

• The nasal cavity makes up the main external opening of the mammalian respiratory system. The nasal cavity is lined with a mucous membrane composed of stratified squamous epithelium tissue. As air gets into the nasal cavity, hairs filter out any impurities or sticks to the mucous membrane. The mucous membrane cells secrete almost 1 liter per day, which moistens the air that is inspired. This mucous membrane is affluent in blood vessels; they warm the air when it goes into the nasal cavity. •…
