life-threatening condition that arises when blood supply to a certain part of the body is interrupted for an extended time. When blood cannot move freely through the body, cells die and infection can develop. When this occurs, the result is localized death of soft tissue (necrosis). Interruption in blood supply may result from an injury or infection, or in people suffering from any long-lasting health problem affecting blood flow. Any condition that affects blood flow increases the risk of…

bleeding disorder that slows down or prevents the blood clotting process. There are two main types of hemophilia: hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A, which is known as classic hemophilia, is caused by a mutation in the F8 gene. People with hemophilia often display excessive bleeding, including bleeding in the stool and urine, though it is usually painless. Joints are also heavily affected, causing swelling and decreased mobility. Rupture of a blood vessel in the brain however, although…

pressures in the blood vessels in the airway) due to any internal or external stimuli. The system that is closely associated with asthma is the respiratory system. The way that the respiratory system is responsible for many things such as proving our internal organs with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide from the body. There are many components of the respiratory system; the first part of it is the nose. The nose…

heart, deoxygenated blood returning to the heart from the body is pumped from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary artery to the lungs and to the left side of the heart then back out to the rest of the body with oxygenated blood and the cycle repeats. In TGA, deoxygenated blood returning are not going to the lungs to be oxygenated, but is pumped back out to the body. This happens because…

adults? Briefly discuss treatment options for children and adults with ASD and VSD. Our text defines a murmur as a turbulent blood flow through the heart as a result of one or more etiologies (Cash, 2014). The abnormal opening through chambers, atrial or ventricular septal defect is the selected etiology appropriate for this discussion topic (Cash, 2014). During the first 8 weeks of pregnancy the heart forms as a hollow tube and then it eventually divides into 4 chambers (University of Utah…

One of these being the ventricle of the heart. The ventricle of the heart is the main heart muscle that pumps blood. When HCM occurs the left ventricle within the heart thickens. When the thickening of the ventricle occurs there will be a decreased ventricular chamber volume, and abnormal ventricular relaxation. This deals with the diastolic aspect of the heart. Since the amount of blood pumped and ejected by the heart per minute will be decreased, the heart rate will increase. The heart is…

Hematology is the study of blood and how it relates to health and disease (“Blood Disorders”). Hematologists study blood disorders, what causes them, and how to prevent, treat, and cure them (“Blood Basics”). Advances in this field have helped increase the quality of life in people who suffer from blood disorders. For example, CML (Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia) used to be treated with chemotherapy, which kills rapidly dividing cells, both healthy and diseased. Because of studies in hematology,…
