Circulatory system

They can affect your urinary tract system and can cause several problems. They can form when minerals crystallize and get stuck together. Symptoms include pain in the back and/or side, pain when urinating, red or brown urine, nausea, urinating in small amounts, and cloudy urine. The treatments…

Cardiovascular Response: When exercising the muscles requires a constant supply of oxygen, it is the hearts job to make sure there is enough oxygen being pumped round the body for the muscles, the heart has to pump harder and faster as more oxygen is required to get round the body to the muscles in use otherwise they will fatigue quicker. If this is repeated regularly, then over time the heart will become stronger as will become more used to the higher demands. At the start of exercise, the…

Clear! The physics behind the electrical life savers, defibrillators “Defibrillation has become an integral part of the emergency response routine. In fact, the American Heart Association considers defibrillation a basic life support skill for paramedics and rescue workers.” (DIRECT QUOTE) The human heart is arguably the most vital organ of the human body, as its coordinated and controlled two-part pumping is necessary to supply blood to the entire body. This supply rate is regulated by the…

The cardiovascular system is the bodies system that is in charge of regulating blood throughout the body. The main job of the cardiovascular systems are transportation of blood which allows the body to receive oxygen, nutrients, and hormones while disposing of wastes. The second job of the cardiovascular system is protection via the white blood cells. White blood cells clean up cellular debris and fight pathogens that have entered the body. The cardio vascular system will also offer protection…

The heart is considered the “engine of life” through its ability to rhythmically pump oxygen rich blood throughout the body to supply life. Unfortunately, this vital organ is vulnerable to damage through actions of everyday life ranging from smoking, diet, physical inactivity, and consumption of alcohol. Damage to the heart results in heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease. Because of the vast complexity of the heart, heart disease branches off into various categories including…

neuroendocrine system for support. The Hematologic system responds to major blood loss by activating coagulation cascades and constricting the vessels that are currently bleeding by release of thromboxane A2 and platelets. What this does is form a colt on the bleeding site. Collagen is exposed by damaged vessels which cause fibrin production and stabilize the clots that have been formed. Usually it takes between 15-25 hours for a clot to mature in form. Joannes cardiovascular system is…

Blood, Guts and... Am I cut out for this? Receiving that unexpected yet exciting text message, was like an invitation to meet the Queen or maybe better in my case. Was I going to hold a human beings heart in which I had no idea who they were or have any clue what I was doing. Or maybe I was going to be lifting their blood pumping organ out of his chest like a sacrifice I was making to the hospital gods. I drove down to the hospital as calmly as possible, trying not to let my thoughts get the…

Demonstrate the role of stents in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (coronary angioplasty) Introduction The heart is a pump that circulates blood to the rest of the human body. It is positioned at the centre of the chest, just between the lungs. The network of blood vessels that branch over the surface of the heart are the coronary arteries. Figure 1 outlines the coronary arteries on the heart which supply the cardiac muscles with nutrients such as oxygen and glucose needed to survive [1].…

will prepare for it by increasing the heart rate slightly. ACTIVITY RESPONSE: The start of exercise, there are nerve centres in our brain which become aware of the cardiovascular activity. This results in adjustments which start the cardiovascular system to help increase our heart rate and also the local blood flow is improved to the right proportion to the intensity of activity. INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE: Our blood pressure is the pressure of the blood against the walls of our arteries and…

8)Thermoregulation is the process your body goes through to keep your body's temperature regulated to 60-38°C. 9)The hypothalamus is the portion of the brain that monitors and regulates the body's temperature. 10a)The body will expand blood flow in the skin and have the sweat glands produce more sweat. 10b)The body will restrict blood flow in the skin and have muscles shiver to generate and keep heat. 11a)The stimulus is the hypothalamus sensing to little heat in the body and the response is…
