atrial systole, the ventricles have a maximum amount of blood that each can carry. The quantity of this is known as the end- diastolic volume. 4. In S2 is the occurrence of ventricular filling, when the semilunar vale closes and the AV valve opens. 5. Red Blood Cells have a protein, which is hemoglobin, oxygen binds to the hemoglobin and is transported from the lungs to the cells throughout the body.…

them to tie him over until he comes upon another source of energy. His town is dead and to him it seemed like no one survived, not even Ms. Manigat. He saw deserted cars that had rusted almost all of the color off of them with no life within. Old blood stained the streets along with filthy rags of cloth and unburied bodies on top of the dirt as if no one had the time. He continued to walk with little energy and he thought to himself if he couldn’t find fresh food before the dark comes, he needed…

implanted in the heart of the patient where the damaged heart valve was removed. Artificial heart valves allows for correct blood flow through the heart by opening and closing with each heartbeat (St Jude Medical, n.d.). The Medtronic mechanical heart valve contains two leaflets (Medtronic, 2011). The pressure in the heart causes the leaflets to open and close, allowing blood flow in only one direction (Allen K, 2011). The valve is made of solid pyrolytic carbon and has a titanium strengthening…

most bones. It is highly vascular and enriched with many blood vessels and capillaries. The average weight of bone marrow is about four percent of the total body weight (Bone Marrow Anatomy). Bones that contain bone marrow are: the hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae, shoulder blade and thigh bone. Bone marrow contains immature cells, called stem cells. It is the place where new blood cells are produced. 200 billion new red blood cells are made by bone marrow within a lifetime.…

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…

the blood meaning blood has an increased tendency to form clots. Blood clots are known as venous thromboses and they come in many forms linked with different parts of the body. For example, the most common form of blood clots is within the leg veins and this is known as deep vein thrombosis (DTV). The blood clotting process is a simple process in comparison to some of the bodily functions. When a cut to the skin is made or injury occurs where skin is broken, various chemicals within the blood…

the human body work together to maintain homeostasis. Typically, when someone hears the words organ system the first one that comes to mind is the circulatory system. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients in the blood to nearby cells as well as helping with the removal of waste products and carrying them away in plasma. The reproductive system maintains homeostasis by regulating the Ph of the vagina in the female reproductive system and the temperature in…

Name and identify the ureter, bladder and urethra Introduction: The urinary system consists of two kidneys. The urinary system performs many functions removing waste, products from the blood and regulating the bodies fluid, electrolytes, acid balance and producing a hormone call erythropoietin, which regulates blood cells formation. The urinary system helps detoxify the liver and certain compounds making glucose during times of starvation. The functions are all carried by the organs of the…

fistula “steals” too much blood from the hand. Causing poor circulation to the hand, symptoms include numbness and cold in the hand, can also cause pain in the hand. (break space) • Infection, both patient and caretakers need to watch for redness,…

. Blood tests may also be used to check the white blood cell count, which can sometimes reveal an acute infection. Blood tests along with chest x-rays can be used to assess for pneumonia, bronchitis, or other respiratory infections that can make emphysema worse. Arterial blood gases are also typically ordered to help doctors determine how much oxygen and carbon dioxide are in the blood. TREATMENT Even though there is no cure for emphysema, treatments can help relieve symptoms and slow the…
