Aorta

A neonatologist is a doctor that specializes in the field of neonatology. So... "Neonatologist" is basically a fancy technical term for "baby doctor." Marfan Syndrome Marfan syndrome and related disorders affect the body’s connective tissue. Connective tissue holds the body together and plays a role in its growth and development. This disorder can affect many parts of the body since connective tissue is found all over the body. Bones, joints, eye, skin, lungs, the heart and blood vessels are…

disease more difficult” (35). After the initial incision and retraction of the skin, I look for the thymus, remove and weigh it. If the thymus is not present, which is often the case with adults, I move on to examine the “ascending aorta, its arch and the arch branches”. The aorta should be cut just distal to the great vessels. Next, I find and open the pulmonary arteries examining them for thromboembolism. After examining the pulmonary arteries, I detach the heart from the lungs by cutting the…

Cardiovascular System Have you ever felt your heart racing before a big exam? How about after running a marathon? That fast, steady pace, making you breathe heavily. This is part of your cardiovascular system. A larger system made up of your heart system and circulatory system. The heart works to push out about 5 liters, on average, of blood every minute, to the organs, tissues and cells of the human body. This hard working organ, fully matured is only about the size of your clenched fist. Each…

bulge and ruptures, it creates chaotic internal bleeding. However, URMC surgeons can now repair certain aneurysm using a brand new device, which is a tubular, fabric endograft with custom-designed holes to create proper blood circulation through the aorta and then to the kidneys and close organs. What treatments appear to work best? The treatment for aortic aneurysm entirely relies on the patient's overall health, its size and location, and whether or not symptoms have shown. Aneurysms in its…

Fetal circulation differs greatly from that of a newborn heart. Although, outwardly appearances may seem similar. By taking an internal look we may be able to distinguish four adaptations that fetal hearts undergo while in utero. First, we must understand that the fetus receives all blood and nutrients from the parental placenta. The fetus receives this blood from the placenta through the umbilical vein. This is the first adaptation that we see in the fetal cardiovascular circulatory system.…

oxygen is needed by muscles and heart, and stiffening of the arteries place an extra load on heart which can lead to hypertension. Globally, hypertension is the major factor for serious conditions such as heart diseases, strokes and kidney diseases. Aorta is the main artery originating from the left ventricle of the heart, and extending to the lower part…

properly by not allowing the valve to fully open. With the aortic valve not working correctly, it causes extra stress on the valve. Since the heart has extra stress on it, the blood flow is often reduced. The blood that cannot make it through the aorta causes the heart to work harder in order to supply the body with the correct amount of blood that the…

that makes geneticist classify Marfan as pleiotrophy are their lens and the ligament damage. To tell whether an individual has Marfan Syndrome is based on the dislocation of the lens and deformity of the largest blood vessel connecting to the heart, aorta. The dislocation of the eye lens or a more scientific term is called Ectopia Lentis which causes vision problems. The vision problems that a person may have can cause blurriness resulting in glaucoma and cataracts. The lens of the eye becomes…

The kidney of the albino rat is a paired organ bean shaped, smooth and possess convex and concave borders. Each kidney has dorsal and ventral surface, medial and lateral borders. The lateral border is convex while, the medial border is concave, indented hilus, and an upper and lower pole. The hilus and sides of the kidney of albino rat are surrounded by adipose tissue. Anatomically, the rat kidneys lay alongside the vertebral column in the abdominal cavity and suprarenal glands situated above…

structures of the heart for the diagram. Aorta is the major artery that carries oxygenated blood to the body. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart. Left atrium is one of the left upper chambers that takes oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it into the left ventricle which carries it to the body (MedicineNet, 2016). Left ventricle is one of the left lower chambers that takes blood from the left atrium and pumps it through the aorta to the rest of the body…
