micrometers from a blood vessel. There are 100,000 mile of the blood vessels in the human body. The circulatory system section showed the blood vessels of the body, the bronchia tree and pulmonary arteries. Arteries carry blood away from heart and veins carry blood to the heart. Then we move along to the respiratory system, the respiratory system consists of a number of a number of interconnection air passage way that begin in the nose and end in millions of alveoli within each lung. The…

People who have Endocarditis will have inflammation of the inner walls of the heart mainly in the heart valves. This can also infect artificial heart valves, pacemakers, or implantable defibrillators. Endocarditis infection is most commonly found in people with preexisting heart diseases. To get this infection the bacteria will enter the bloodstream and attach to damaged places of the inner parts of the heart, but not all the bacteria entering the bloodstream will cause this infection. If this…

This will promote chest expansion and reduced the workload of the heart. Early detection of respiratory distress will assist in emergency interventions and reduce the risk of complications (Jaffe & Cabrera, 2016). This is considered a high…

The nurse will want to listen to see how loud the heart murmur is. Once she listens she will need to rate the murmur on a scale of 1 to 6, with 6 being the loudest. When listening to the murmur the nurse needs to note on what position on the heart the murmur is located. For example, is it on the back of the heart? She should listen to the pitch of the murmur. It is high, medium or low-pitched. What things affects the sounds. Does moving the infant or laying the infant in a certain position.…

The cardiovascular, lymphatic, and circulatory system and effects of massage Megan Bernard Carrington College As the respiratory, lymphatic, and circulatory systems have been explored through the years, we have learned of the importance of their functions in the body. In more recent years there have been studies to try and understand the effects that massage may have on these different systems and the known pathologies that plague them. We will be looking at some of these studies…

The Effect of Compression Garments on Muscle Endurance in Trained Individuals. In recent years there has been a development of public acceptance that compression garments have a relationship with muscle performance in athletes. This can be seen through the marketing of compression garments, from companies such as Nike and Adidas, as well as being seen on professional athletes. Muscular endurance can be defined as the muscle’s ability to maintain a contraction or to continue repetitive…

Q2. Chances of developing atherosclerosis in john smith condition increase with the number of risk factors…

This essay is going to be talking about what body systems are affected by the symptoms provided in the case study and how the patient’s health can be improved. It will also be looking at the structure and function of one of the body systems affected. The patient from the case study has a BMI of 18.5, which means that she is underweight. According to NHS choices (2014), the immune system does not function properly when a person is underweight making them more susceptible to contracting the flu…

Introduction: From rest to exercise the human body’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems must integrate and adapt to changing conditions—especially during incremental increases in submaximal exercise to maximal exercise. The coordination of cardiovascular and respiratory systems coalesce to form what is known as the cardiorespiratory system (Lotric & Stefanovska, 2000). Within muscle cells there are extremely limited stores for anaerobic energy; thus, a well-coordinated cardiovascular and…

TERMINOLOGY CLINICAL CLARIFICATION 1 • Life-threatening condition characterized by the inability of the pulmonary system to meet the metabolic demands of the body with respect to oxygenation of the blood and systemic organs and/or CO2 elimination • May be accompanied by ventilatory failure 7 • Develops within minutes or hours as opposed to chronic respiratory failure that develops over several days, weeks or years CLASSIFICATION 2, 1 • Classification is mainly based on arterial blood gas (ABG)…
