Artery

prevention program no matter what type of dog. The parasite is commonly called “heartworm”. It gets its name from the location where it is found most often; the heart. Nevertheless, it has been known to be in the pulmonary arterial system (lung arteries) and can have further damaging affects to lung vessels and…

hypertension affect a community? Before I go further, let me first define hypertension, how it’s occur and what is the long time effect of hypertension. Hypertension which we also call high blood pressure is a condition in which the force of the blood in the artery reached higher than normal. As the years have gone by, it has been found that lower and lower blood pressure are better for preventing some complications of high blood pressure. In kidney disease this is particularly true. Really low…

Venous return is the flow of blood back to the heart. This process is achieved by five mechanisms. The Pressure Gradient, now this mechanisms work via the heart generating pressure even though the pressure is weaker in the veins than in the arteries it is still the most important force in the venous flow. Gravity, but only when you are sitting or standing anywhere above the heart simple gravity is at work in returning blood back to the heart, not to say that very thing isn’t still working…

blockage in the arteries of the heart. The common signs and symptoms include- Pain and discomfort in the heart and it may radiate to arm, shoulder, neck or throat. Nausea Fatigue or tiredness Shortness of…

Homeostasis is a key factor in helping the body to maintain optimum conditions for life. It aids in keeping a steady environment inside the body when the external environment is constantly changing. ( Peate, I. and Nair, M. 2011) Humans need to maintain a near constant environment internally to be able to function and to survive. There are various control systems at work in the process of homeostasis, such as negative feedback and the receptor, controller and effector loop. The receptor,…

explore how your arteries work, who is at risk of developing high blood pressure, and the difference between essential and secondary hypertension. Your Arteries Blood moves through your arteries on its way to various parts of your body. Under normal circumstances, the pressure within your arteries is fine. However, there are times when the pressure builds and the blood pushes against the arterial walls. When that happens, especially over prolonged periods, the health of the artery can be…

the heart’s left and right atria and a plastic model is placed into chest inorder to determine the proper placement for the artificial heart.A special type of synthetic tissue is then cut up by suregons and sewn to the atora (artery to the body) and the pulmonary artery (artery to the lungs) This synthetic is used to help connect the artificial heart to the remaning parts the natural heart. The artificial heart is then placed into the chest and connected by quick connects which are similar to…

There are several causes of high blood pressure (Hypertension) some of which we do not have any direct control over, and yet we can still modify the effects of these factors by ensuring that we pay attention to the things that we do have some control, over. I will discuss both kinds on this page so that by the end you know exactly the kind of things you can easily change to reduce the risks associated with high blood pressure, and you know the things that you cannot change so easily and yet can…

Introduction In this paper the illness stroke, specifically ischemic stroke (IS), will be discussed. The majority of strokes are ischemic; they are one of the prominent causes of death worldwide making it a major global health problem. The number of people who have suffer from stroke every year, or who have suffered, or have died from their stroke, are significantly increasing (Feigin et al., 2015). Ischemic stroke has been increasingly effecting people globally. Feigin and collegues (2015),…

Similar aspects of the endocrine and nervous systems are also located within major arteries, responding to changes in the cardiovascular system during hypovolemic shock. When baroreceptors sense there has been a fluid loss and that blood pressure has decreased, a “sympathetic response” throughout the body where nerve impulses cause the heart rate to increase to attempt to compensate for a decrease in oxygen circulating throughout the body (Tortura 782). An increase in the heart also causes…
