Capillary

protein in the matrix which delivers antibodies. The last difference between the two connecting tissues is that the matrix in cartilage is not thick (semi rigid) the reason for this is that a shorter diffusion distance allows nutrients from blood capillaries to diffuse through. Secondly the matrix is providing cushion and strength to the tissue. On the other hand in blood the matrix is known as ‘plasma’ which is a liquid containing waste…

and more elastic then the other blood vessels. Branching off of the arteries are arterioles which carries blood to the second type of blood vessels the capillaries. These are the smallest and thinnest of the three types of blood vessels but also the most common in the body. They can be found running through almost every tissue in the body. Capillaries carry blood very close to the cells of the tissues of the body in order to exchange gases, nutrients, and waste products. The final type of blood…

Patient Center Presentation Patient Background Information D.D is a 56 years old female she was admitted to the hospital with complain of flue-like symptoms. The patient symptoms started on Monday. On Friday she stated that “I felt weakness all over and I called my cousin to take me to the hospital. In the ER patient presented with productive cough, body aches, runny nose, feeling feverish, and weakness. The patient history is diabetes, gastric bypass in 4/2015, hypertension, asthma and…

The transportation of the gas and nutrients in the blood is brought about by angiogenesis through the vascular network. It is therefore a physiologic process important to mechanisms like wound healing, menstruation, tissue growth and embryonic development (Griffioen & Molema, 2000). Endothelial cells which line the blood vessels are in direct contact with blood. Below the layer of endothelial cells, the pericytes (structural support cells) surround the blood vessels along with fibroblasts,…

human body. Veins, arteries, capillaries, all carry blood that is being pumped by the heart throughout the body. Oxygenated blood from the lungs travels to the arteries and around the body, and then this blood is carried back through veins to be reoxygenated. Hemoglobin, a vital protein present in blood, binds to oxygen as you breathe air in. The oxygen in the air enters the alveoli and is picked up by the hemoglobin in the blood as it flows through the alveoli’s capillaries, and the hemoglobin…

The Upper Respiratory Tract The human respiratory system involves complex organization of structural and defense mechanisms for the inhalation and exhalation of gases. The primary function of the respiratory system is to breathe air, provide oxygen to the bloodstream, and expel carbon dioxide. The respiratory system also provides transport of respiratory gases, internal respiration, pulmonary ventilation, and external respiration. There are two zones of the respiratory system, the conducting…

There are two major classifications of living things, plants and animals, and all species that are under these two kingdoms are required to have proper functions of their body processes to survive. The most important in all of the body processes is the transport system, it is the one that is responsible for well being of all other body systems to function smoothly and properly by supplying nutrients for it to live.These organisms need to have the ability to transport particles such as molecules…

Sickle Cell Anemia India is one of the biggest countries with a population of 1.3 billion, but with a high population comes a high percentage in disease specifically sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia’s history goes as far back as 1846, since numerous discoveries have been made in understanding how sickle cell manifests. Therefore Dr. Herrick in 1910 was the first to distinguish the “pelicular elongated and sickle shaped” platelets (Vasaikar, 2015). While in 1949 sickle cell was identified…

The heart uses the help of blood vessels and capillaries to deliver blood from left ventricle to the body with the help of aorta and atria diastole cardiac cycle. With the help of capillaries and blood vessel transport system the oxygenated blood is delivered to the cells present in a muscle such as cardiac muscle. At this point the oxygenated blood provides oxygen to…

The respiratory system is the major system of organs that facilitates the process of respiration. This system controls a gas exchange which involves the distribution of oxygen throughout the body and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body as waste. In other words, it plays a crucial role along with the circulatory system during the action of breathing and maintains a constant supply of oxygen into the bloodstream. In turn, the respiratory system provides trillions of cells with energy from…
