Deep vein

Problem: For this procedure we tested are heart rate to see how it changed depending on what level activity we did. Heart rate is when the heart contracts because it is pumping the oxygenated blood through the aorta. Then the blood goes through your heart through the vena cava. Once you start moving the blood go through the capillaries to your lungs, legs, head and arms the blood flows through the inferior and superior capillaries. The part of the heart blood that that keeps the blood from…

subclavian vein. The other trunk is called the thoracic duct and drains the remaining part of the fluid into the left subclavian vein. The lymph is transported along the system of vessels by muscle contractions and the valves prevent the lymph from flowing backward. The vessels are punctuated at small intervals which are called lymph nodes and these remove foreign materials like infectious microorganisms from the lymph filtering through…

punctured a vein. Usually phlebotomist tend to draw from the cephalic and basilic veins in the antecubital area. Ways that you can collect blood from the vein is by using a syringe and using a needle with a vacutainer. The vacutainer is when you have a needle and another needle with rubber. The vacutainer gets hooked up to the area with the rubber needle. This method is prefered when you need to collect blood for more than one tube. Apply the tourniquet so that you can see the veins more clearly…

An 85 year old male experienced muscle damage in the lower part of the heart because of blocked blood flow. As this happened he fell unconscious because the extra electrical pathways of his heart's chambers stimulated, causing a rapid abnormal heart rate and an insufficient blood supply to the brain. After placing sensors on his body to monitor his heart's electrical activity the healthcare provider established that the front of his heart experienced a blockage in the past. Both events were…

Endoscopic Saphenous Vein Harvesting Endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting (EVH) is a procedure to remove part of the saphenous vein in your leg. The saphenous vein is also called the great saphenous vein or the long saphenous vein. This vein runs from the inside of your ankle, up along the inside of your knee, and up to your groin. It returns blood from your leg to your heart. This vein is used to make a detour (bypass) around a blocked heart artery. EVH is done as part of heart surgery.…

Stella Nickell used Cyanide to kill her victims. Sue Snow collapsed in her bathroom of her home in the Seattle, Washington, suburb of Auburn. Paramedics found her unconscious and gasping for breath. They had thought it was drug overdose, but she was not a known user, and had taken only a couple of Extra - Strength Excedrin. Strength Excedrin is a safe medication. But…

glomerulus and into the efferent arteriole. The varying sizes of these arterioles help to create the hydrostatic pressure and to maintain consistency of glomerular capillary pressure and renal blood flow within the glomerulus Before returning to the renal vein, blood from the efferent arteriole enters the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta and flows slowly through the cortex and medulla of the kidney close to the tubules. peritubular capillaries - surround the proximal and distal…

The arteries are blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients to all organs in the body during the heart pulses. During the blood circulation a pressure is exerted on the walls of the blood vessels or arteries. The case where the ability of such walls to expand or contract in response to blood pressure changes is called Arterial Stiffness (AS). Arteries need to be flexible to expand when oxygen is needed by muscles and heart, and stiffening of the arteries place an extra load on heart which…

Homeostasis is a key factor in helping the body to maintain optimum conditions for life. It aids in keeping a steady environment inside the body when the external environment is constantly changing. ( Peate, I. and Nair, M. 2011) Humans need to maintain a near constant environment internally to be able to function and to survive. There are various control systems at work in the process of homeostasis, such as negative feedback and the receptor, controller and effector loop. The receptor,…

Pseudoaneurysm A pseudoaneurysm occurs when there is injury to an artery. The injury allows blood to leak out of the artery. The leaking blood collects or pools and is contained in the nearby tissues. CAUSES The most common cause of this condition is a procedure that involves inserting a thin tube (catheter) into an artery, such as an angiogram. After an angiogram, if the insertion site does not fully seal, blood may leak out of the artery. Other causes include: • Trauma to the walls of an…
