My Foolish Heart

Every part of the body is essential to its function. The heart is one of the most essential organs in the body; it essentially gives us life. Without the heart, the blood in our bodies would not be able to run its course through our veins and arteries. Without the heart, fresh oxygenated blood could not be produced for the many components of the body that depend on it. Without the heart, a body could not be kept alive. The heart is an organ that pumps blood through the body, supplies oxygen and…

supplements to and from the area in need. Then there’s plasma, which is the liquid like substance in the blood. The way that the Cardiovascular System works is that the heart receives the deoxygenated blood (blood that is low in oxygen) through the Vena Cava (is a vessel called a vein that carries blood that needs oxygen to the heart) then the blood flows into the right atrium. From the right atrium the blood goes through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve then…

Defects and Arterial Aneurysms According to Maternal Child Nursing Care, 5th Edition, Chapter 47 – Cardiovascular Dysfunction, congenital heart defects occur in about 5 to 8 of every 1000 live births, and 2 to 3 of those affected will be symptomatic within the first year of life (Hockenberry, 2014). When looking at the different pathophysiologies of congenital heart defects, the most common form of defect is the ventricular septal defect or VSD and there are genetic and environmental factors…

with the benefit of many positive enhancements. Exercise is no magic remedy to relieving depression, nor is it recommended over medication. it is a viable boost that is backed up by study after study for the recovery of depression. A persons brain, heart, lungs, and any other organs only gain benefits from exercise to the average person. That only applies if the person has no current conditions and is exercising properly and safely. After exercise your body will have more restful sleep the next…

You’re a highschool student walking in the cafeteria with your brand new outfit and stylish new-fangled shoes. So far things couldn’t get better for you. Good grades. Great friends. Fantastic parents. Then out of nowhere, as if somebody had woke up with the fixation of ruining your day, they bump into you and spill that week old sloppy joe that nobody wants all over your decorative attire. Let’s face it, in life, more than likely, you will run across someone that will upset you. how do you take…

organisms, vertebrates and invertebrates, must have necessary nutrients to maintain life. In invertebrates, either a transport system or diffusion provides nutrients to the body. For vertebrates, a closed transport is used to transport blood away from the heart. Both of these scenarios are key to an organism 's health. Some invertebrates do not require a circulatory system. While these organisms do not require a circulatory system, they require certain nutrients to be readily available.…

receptive teaching of the hearing the Word of God, now it is time to take it to heart and allow it to take place in one’s actions and hearts, depending on which category of soil…

“Aerobic conditioning activities such as running, rowing and walking along with resistance strength training exercises have been shown to be inversely associated with the risk of coronary heart disease.” (WCPT organization). The intersection between aging and cardiovascular disease is very important. The average lifespan of person increases. Human beings 65 or older are at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases. Within this age group cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death. The…

Identify or trace the path of a red blood cell through all anatomical/structural areas of the heart. The path of a RBC consist of it first beginning in the heart as the RBC transports oxygen into the aorta by the aortic valve through contracting of the left ventricle. From the aorta, the RBC then travels through an artery with the help of arterioles to reach the capillaries. When in the capillary, the oxygen molecule that is carried by the RBC then detaches and travels through the capillary into…

brain and the heart (Silverthorn et al., 2009 p329). Understanding of the structures and mechanisms that take place in the heart and the brain to allow for blood distribution is a critical component for anyone trying to determine the development or characteristics of this condition (Silverthorn et al., 2009 p327). In a healthy person, the cardiovascular system is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body accordingly (lecture 4). This system consists…
