External carotid artery

Atrial Fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia. An arrhythmia is an irregular heart rhythm, where the heart beats too fast or too slow. In order to understand what Atrial Fibrillation is it is best to understand the hearts internal electrical system. The hearts internal electrical system controls the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. With each heartbeat an electrical signal spreads from the top of the heart to the bottom. As the signal travels, it causes the heart to contract and pump…

Heart Failure is a condition that develops over time and can be caused by many different heart problems. Heart failure is most often a chronic condition. There is several classifications under this condition for example in systolic failure the heart cannot contract adequately to eject sufficient blood volume. In diastolic heart failure there is impaired ventricular relaxation and impaired filling creating the inability of the heart to fill with blood or to pump enough blood to the body to meet…

The cardiovascular system operates our body by distributing and circulating blood to parts of our body. The blood in our body contains red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Those are then distributed through the body to the pulmonary circulation. The human heart is the engine of the pulmonary circulation (Farley,2012). Blood is then delivered to our heart. Waste from the cells of our body is removed and blood is distributed to our vines (Farley, 2012). Therefore when we engage in…

Inhalation is the process of air being drawn into the lungs. During the process of inhalation the external intercostal muscles contract, therefore pulling the chest wall upwards and outwards, these intercostal muscles are between the ribs. As the air is drawn into the lungs, this causes for the thoracic cavity volume to increases, during inspiration the diaphragm also contracts, therefore moving the diaphragm downwards. There are three more muscles that contract during the process of inspiration…

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…

" Hyperoxia results from the inhalation of mixtures of gas containing higher partial pressures of oxygen (O2) than normal air at sea level." Therefore our first questions are: how the human body can use the oxygen? Witch pathway needs Oxygen? Here we can introduce the entire aerobic pathway. How the oxygen pass from the lung to the blood? How the oxygen is carry in the blood vessel? Then how the oxygen crosses to pass in the organ that needs oxygen? Now we can start to talk about why we need…

Paul Salem is a 70 year-old male with significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He has no medication allergies and reports using prescribed albuterol inhaler 90mcg, about 4-5 times per week for his COPD, and Phenytoin 3 capsules of 100mg each at bedtime for his seizure treatment. Patient states he has been adherent to his medication regimen through the use of his med box. He also reported he has not had a seizure for several years and his COPD is well stable at the moment. He…

and mouth where fat is loss the dermis become thinner, and the skin may become transparent and lose its elasticity, its mostly can be found in the older patient. The integument (of skin provides several important functions, namely protection from external environmental influences, thermoregulation, electrolyte balance and sensation – pain, touch, heat and cold. The skin comprises three major layers – the dermis, the epidermis and the subcutaneous fatty layer (containing the major nerves and…

clavicle. The needle is advanced toward the tip of the contralateral index finger, which is placed in the suprasternal notch. The direction of the needle is now aligned with the central axis of the SCV, minimizing the risk of puncturing the subclavian artery, pleura, or apex of the lung [46]. By keeping the needle in a horizontal plane, the risk of arterial or pleural injury is minimized [47]. On its course the needle goes through skin, superficial fascia, subclavius, clavipectoral fascia, and…

Angiogram: This test uses X-ray innovation to take pictures of blood stream inside of an artery. 3. Magntic resonance imaging (MRI): This kind of imaging test may help your specialist see the brain all the more plainly to better recognize the reason for the dying. 4. Blood tests might likewise be utilized to recognize safe framework issue…
