Aorta

danger of being greatly damaged. The cardiac cycle is what causes the BP to rise and fall. This occurs first through a ventricular contraction. When this contraction of the ventricles happens the blood is forced to go into the pulmonary artery and the aorta. This causes the pressure to increase…

The human body is composed of eleven major systems that all work together to hold a stable internal environment: homeostasis. Each system consists of different organs that all play important roles in maintaining homeostasis. The circulatory, respiratory and renal systems greatly affect each other in the keeping of the internal environment. Homeostasis is defined as the tendency of an organism or a cell to regulate its internal conditions, usually by a system of feedback controls, so as to…

decelerating the car can cause the seatbelt to put pressure on the liver and spleen. Injuries from this pressure can range from bruising to the rupture of these organs and damage to the tissue that surrounds them. The shoulder strap can damage the aortas and veins in the neck, and lead to hyperextension and other similar injuries. The shoulder strap can also cause fractures in the sternum and ribs. A study was carried out on thoracic injuries and it was proven that drivers who wore seatbelts…

Contractions Cease When a patient presents with preterm labor symptoms, the nurse will have to be prepared to perform assessments and diagnostics. The patient has not received any prenatal care, meaning she may not be knowledgeable of the dangers and symptoms of preterm labor, including what to do if preterm labor arises. The nurse will need to assess the patient’s psychosocial and emotional status, as this can cause effects on the fetus and outcome of preterm labor. (Lowdermilk, Perry, &…

are attached to the AV valves and anchored to the papillary muscles, allow one-way flow by preventing eversion of the valves. Semilunar valves separate the ventricles from the arterial system. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta while the pulmonary valve divides the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. AV valves and semilunar valves perform an important role in the cardiac cycle because they only allow blood flow when pressure gradient is reached. During ventricular…

A Heart For A Heart It was close, I can feel the drumming in the left chest. I tried to opened my eyes but it felt heavy. My face felt like a stiff bread that had been left on the counter by some uncareful mothers. I couldn’t feel anything. The only thing I could hear was the distant echoes inside of my chest. I opened my swollen eyes widely and all I can see is blurriness. The echoes grew stronger and closer to me by every second. It was like I was at the world 's largest canyon and was…

Hanh U Nguyen Mrs. Lednicky Core English 12 16 December 2016 Organ Donation One of the greatest and earliest gift given from one human to another was an organ. Unknown to many, organ transplants have been recorded before Christ. By 800 B.C Indian doctors had likely begun grafting skin and this is also the start of numerous transplantation that take places later on (History.com Staff). This wonderful thing has happened since a very long time, but it seems as time goes by and along the rapid…
