Broken heart

“are the largest portion of blood cells” ranging between “4,200,000 – 6,100,000/mm3” and depended on age and gender in the body of a healthy individual. (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2013). RBCs have a lifespan of “approximately 120 days” where it is “broken down in the spleen” and degraded products, “such as iron and amino acids, are recycled.” When matured, RBCs are non-nucleated and have…

It also occurs when not enough oxygen can get from your lungs to your blood, mean it cannot be transported. Oxygen is not only needed for energy but also for other organs like the heart and brain so they can work to their best ability. However, this is not an actual disease and something which can occur when the respiratory system is on its last legs. Emphysema A disease involving the respiratory system is Emphysema. Emphysema is…

TAQ 1 Explain the term Homeostasis. The term homeostasis is derived from two Greek words; homios meaning ‘the same’ and stasis meaning ‘steady’. It refers to the processes by which the body and internal cells seek to constantly maintain an internal state of balance and equilibrium even when faced with external environmental changes. This is achieved through either positive or negative feedback loop controls associated mainly with the endocrine and nervous systems. Principal homeostatic…

STEP 1 •Check the area to make sure there is no immediate danger or hazards, if there is anything that can endanger yourself or the victim if possible try to do something in order to counteract it. E.g. open a window if possible, if this is impossible then try to move the victim. •Check to see if the individual is conscious by gently tapping their shoulder and asking them if they are Ok, if they responds and say yeah, CPR is most likely unnecessary and not needed, however basic first aid…

list hypotheses from most (1) to least likely (4) (Differential Diagnosis). 1 GERD: This is a 55 year old male. C/O upset stomach and belching. 1. The onset it vague. Not really getting worse or better. 2. The pain in described as burning, like heart burn pain rated 5/10. 3. Pain comes and goes. 4. The belching really doesn’t relieve the symptoms. 5. Can’t point to any exact area on the stomach. 6. The pain moves up from his stomach into his chest. 7. He says that tums helps for a while.…

Since the mid-1800’s, research contributing to the vast amount of information we know today about stem cells has broadened our horizons in the field of medicine, as well as led to several discoveries involving humanity’s origin. Although they comprise only a small portion of known stem cells, muscle stem cells are indeed equally as important to science because of their aid in helping us to gather new facts about the human body. Therefore, to completely understand how these cells affect our…

begin with discussion Arrhythmia (abnormal heart beat). There are different types of Arrhythmia, and they include Premature atrial contractions, theses are extra heartbeats that happen in the atria (upper chamber of the heart). These contractions usually do not cause harm and don’t require treatment. Another one is Atrial fibrillation, it’s a heart rhythm that causes the atria to contract abnormally. Multiple things such as coronary artery disease, heart attack injury, and electrolyte imbalances…

specific metabolites like AMP, H+, and K+. Consequently, an increase in blood flow accords with a higher cardiac output that is determined by heart rate and stroke volume. At high work rate, cardiac output (amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute) composed by the product of stroke volume (amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle per beat) and heart rate can reach up to 90% of theoretical maximum value as well as having moderate to high increases in blood pressure. (Burton et al.,…

cause extreme internal bleeding in the abdomen. Nandrolone can also decrease HDL, which is good cholesterol, and increase LDL which is the bad. Since the ratio for LDL will be higher than HDL, this will increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and other heart diseases. Wild mood swings may also occur which is commonly known as “steroid rage”. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and it is used to increase growth in children and adolescents. This hormone is widely found in a number of…

occur and the blood that leaves the lungs is now oxygenated and can be transported to the systemic circulation after traveling back through the heart and leaving the left ventricle. Within the systemic circulation, oxygenated blood is not only transported systemically, but wastes are removed from tissues and then returned to the right side of the heart for the pulmonary circulation to start its cycle again. In the pulmonary and systemic circulation systems, there are different types of blood…
