the ground, but will occasionally catch birds in trees. Gas Exchange Ocelots are a type of feline or cat, respiratory system is similar to one of a cat’s. Their respiratory system is liable for performing two actions. First, it is responsible for transferring oxygen to the blood and exhaling waste gasses like Carbon Dioxide from the lungs. It is also responsible for cooling the cat, as cats do not have sweat glands (except on their feet).…

Heart Failure Congestive heart failure is a progressive condition in which fluid builds up around the heart and causes pumping of the heart to become more and more difficult. Heart failure (CHF) occurs when the ventricles of your heart can’t pump blood sufficiently, causing fluid to build up not only around your heart but lungs, abdomen, and liver as well. There are multiple different types of CHF, the most common being left-sided which is when the left ventricle is weakened. Along with that,…

diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). In addition it's known as the transfer factor of the lung for CO (TLCO). This test measures the capability of the lungs to transmit gas from inhaled air to the pulmonary capillaries in the red blood cells and to determine the efficiency of the lungs to exchange gases. The indication of using this test is to recognize the cause of hypoxemia and Dyspnea, identify pulmonary hypertension in patient at risk, to diagnosis of obstructive and…

The thickest muscle of the heart composed of cardiac muscle responsible for heart contraction to facilitate blood pumping in the ventricles. Results of myocarditis is because of bacterial infection to the heart tissue through the bloodstream. Depending on the severity and type of infection it is, myocarditis symptoms can vary. Mild carditis symptoms majority…

He is rather an organism that is trying to fulfill its biological requirements to reproduce and continue its…

serious damage to the valves of the heart, which are the mitral and sometimes the aortic valves, which are the valves that allow blood to pass through the left side of the heart. Damaged valves due to having rheumatic heart disease can cause the valves of the heart to not open all the way like they should or the valves of the heart won’t be able to close fully causing blood to…

a variety of different factors promoting or inhibiting post-operative wound healing. Rund et al (1) covers many factors linked to wound healing such as smoking, oxygen availability, nutrition, hyperglycemia, alcohol intake, and patient adherence. First of all, smoking exerts a pervert effect on peripheral vasculature. For instance, a single cigarette causes a decrease in O2 because of ligation of carbon monoxide (CO) to hemoglobin and nicotine has an added effect of peripheral vasoconstriction…
