Blood vessel

An Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) can be described simply as a tight rubber band ball of abnormal blood vessels with weak walls. These can be located anywhere in the body. Arteries carry blood containing oxygen from the heart to the brain. An AVM bypasses normal brain tissue and directs blood from the arteries to the veins without a capillary bed in between. Brain AVM’s occur in less than one percent of the population (per 100,000 people) and are more common in males than females. Being…

The two diseases I decided to research are tia stroke and mitochondrial disease. Tia stroke is an disease that can happen when your blood flow stops delivering blood to your brain for a short period of time. Mitochondrial disease on the other hand is a diversed condition due to dysfunction of the mitochondria. Tia stroke can sometimes last up for a short period of time, while a mitochondrial disease can last forever. In this essay I will be discussing the background information, treatments,…

Over 112 boxers have passed away in the ring from boxing between 2000 to 2011 and 10 died from ring wounds each year. The earliest proof of boxing goes back to Egypt about 3000 BC. The game was announced at the old Olympic Games by the Greeks in the late seventh century BC when smooth leather thongs were utilized to bind boxers’ hands and lower arms for safety. Boxing is a standout among the most favored sports, particularly in Europe and the Americas. Boxing was known by the name Pugilism,…

oxygenate the venous blood through the machine and then pump the blood back to the patient while the surgeon perform anastomosis between a graft and a coronary artery. During the surgical procedure, a cross-clamping was applied on the aortic artery to provide myocardial protection, and the heart was induced to cardioplegia with drugs, so the surgeon can perform anastomosis on a motionless field, thus guaranteeing the quality of the anastomosis. However, the prolonged blood contact with CPB…

normal routine. One of these we will be focusing on today is known as Reyes Syndrome. (Next Slide) The Cardiovascular, or Circulatory system consists of three main components; the heart, blood vessels and blood itself. The heart is a fist sized organ which weighs between 250-350 grams and can be found to the…

In the closed circulatory system, blood never leaves the arteries, capillaries, and veins. This system is pressurized and needs multiple arteries and veins. Evolutionists believe that once an animal could no longer diffuse its water and nutrients, it evolved to an open circulatory system…

Blood is the only liquid in the body that is classified as connective tissue. Its function is to transport oxygen, metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste from the kidneys. Regulation of the body’s pH, body temperature, and maintenance of the liquid volume in the circulatory system. Lastly, protection by way of Leukocyte activation and preventing blood loss by way of the platelets in the blood. Blood is composed of 55% plasma (water, salts, plasma proteins, and other…

changes many of these risk factors can be reduced, thus creating physiological changes. The cardiovascular system is a complex system made up of the heart and the many blood vessels throughout the body. It is an essential system for stability and maintaining homeostasis, supplying every region of the body with just the right amount of blood…

the “pumps” that expel blood into the blood vessels and keeps it flowing through the body (Rizzo, 2016). The left ventricle is a cavity that has thick muscular walls that contains the papillary muscles as well as the chordae tendinae that attaches the atrio-ventricular valve leaflets to the papillary muscles (Leeson, Augustine, Mitchell & Becher, 2012). The left ventricle is responsible for pumping blood through the entire body, while the right ventricle only has to pump blood to the nearby…

ischemic attack (TIA) occurs when there is a temporary decrease in the blood flow in the brain (McCance & Huether, 2010). This results in brief changes in brain function that can include changes in vision, inability to speak coherently, numbness and weakness in the upper and lower extremities, symptoms of dizziness or loss of consciousness (McCance & Huether, 2010). The causes of TIAs are from platelet clumps or narrowed vessels that result in an intermittent blockage of circulation (McCance &…
