The force in the arteries when blood pumped by the heart hits the walls of arteries is known as blood pressure . When the heart contracts,the highest pressure in the arteries is known as the systolic pressure . Whereas , the lowest pressure in the arteries in between two heart beats is referred to as diastolic pressure . A normal individual would have a blood pressure of below 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure or otherwise known as hypertension is a condition when the force in the arteries are…

4. Notice how it feels to fully focus on your inhale. As you inhale, notice any particular feelings of tension or strain, and notice the sensation of your lungs and abdomen filling up as you inhale. 5. Now gently shift your awareness to focus more on your exhale. With each exhale, notice what it’s like to feel your breath passing out through your nostrils. And observe, without judgment, anything that you feel in your body. 6. For the next few minutes, continue to breathe gently and evenly.…

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a defect related to the cardiovascular system. CHD alters the way blood flows into the heart. The irregularity of the heart in people with CHD is developed from birth though symptoms of the condition may not be present until adulthood. During the time of birth the closure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) should occur about 15 hours after birth though functional closure may be delayed for up to 3 months of life. Thus, an open DA is the functional indicator of…

Emily Howard (Laboratory Section 4019) Jennifer Dierkes (Laboratory Section 4019) Nicole Danh (Laboratory Section 4020) Wesley Ng (Laboratory Section 4020) Kayoti Farinholt (Laboratory Section 4020) Cardiovascular Assignment Work in groups (3-5) on this assignment and hand in one page of answers. I prefer you turn it in using the Canvas groups you have established and using the TurnItIn feature on Canvas. According to the ‘Frank – Starling Law” increasing preload will do what to stroke volume?…

The mitral valve (MV) plays a crucial role in cardiac function, controlling blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle. The components of the valve include an anterior leaflet, a posterior leaflet, tendinous chords, papillary muscles, and a saddle shaped annulus at the atrioventricular junction.[1] Deviation in the morphology of any of these components of the valve may result in comprised mechanical integrity of the valve and abnormal leaflet closure.[1] With studies suggesting that…

P3 – Describe the structure and contraction of different types of muscle. In regards to muscle, there are three main types. These include voluntary (skeletal) muscle, involuntary (smooth) muscle and cardiac muscle. Each have particular functions within the body. One of the main functions which skeletal muscle is responsible for is allowing movement including both fine and gross motor skills to be carried out. Another function which skeletal muscle is required for is protecting an individual’s…

heart from all over the body. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen. The oxygen-rich blood then flows to the left side of the heart through blood vessels (pulmonary veins) and back out to the body. If your child has TAPVR, the pulmonary veins return all the oxygen-rich blood to the right side of the heart instead. The oxygen-rich blood mixes with the returning oxygen-poor blood and passes through a hole between the right side of the heart and the…

sometimes be puzzling. These are two diverse conditions. One kind of prolapse discussed below can be a result of long-lasting hemorrhoids. In rectal prolapse, the portion of the rectal wall projects via the anus. In hemorrhoids, it is the swollen veins that may project through the anus. It may also develop below the skin around the anus. Straining to pass stool over a lengthy period of time can upsurge the jeopardy of hemorrhoids and rectal…

The three basic types of blood vessels, including capillaries, arteries and veins. • Arteries take oxygen-rich blood away from heart. • Veins take blood back toward heart. • Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels that form a connection between arteries and veins. Transfer of nutrients, oxygen and wastes in and out of body facilitated by the capillary. 3. The Blood The heart pumps blood throughout body. The blood is…
