cardiovascular system acts to provide substrates and sequester waste from muscle cells during exercise. As exercise increases the demand for oxygen and production of carbon dioxide, blood flow must also increase to meet demands. This is accomplished through an increase in cardiac output which is a function of the amount of blood pumped in one stroke by the heart (stroke volume) and the rate of cardiac contraction (heart rate). The stroke volume does not increase drastically for bouts of…

infection. The biochemicals that are spread in the blood stream to remove the infection causes swelling in the body. This inflammation becomes the root cause for organ damage and even the blood clotting during sepsis results in obstructed blood flow to limbs and internal organs that block the flow of nutrients and oxygen. In severe conditions, sepsis results in single or multiple organ failures. The advanced level of this condition leads to major falling blood pressure that is known as the…

tube with the pigtail strategically placed along the anterior apex of the pleural space under fluoroscopy- or CT-guidance to best decompress the pneumothorax and help resolve the persistent bronchopleural fistula (Fig. 5). Injection of an autologous blood patch may decrease likelihood of chest tube insertion…

skull becomes blocked or narrowed. This will cause the blood flow to your brain to become greatly reduced. Tiny blood vessels then open up at the base of the brain and attempt to supply the brain with blood. This outcome is presented in the image above and you can clearly see how the term a “puff of smoke” was coined. The tiny clusters of blood vessels are unable to properly…

human fetal development. Blood clots can form in the body and either be a hindrance or a help. Those that help the body, stop bleeding, so that an excess of blood is not lost all at one time. The blood clots that act as a hindrance to the body can lead to heart attacks, strokes and at times pulmonary embolisms. Warfarin (C19H16O4) is a prescription medication that is used to prevent the harmful blood clots within the body. It works by decreasing the body’s ability to form blood clots through…

In such condition, an individual's fingers turn white because the blood flow has been ceased or strikingly decreased due to constriction of the blood vessels.
