Pulmonary edema

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and extracellular matrix (ECM): Blood vessels, include arteries that transport blood from the heart to the systemic circulation, and veins that transport blood back again into the heart. A remarkable change in blood vessel structure and function happened, with the emergence of a high-pressure, pulsatile circulatory system in vertebrates. Blood vessels then evolved from simple tubes for channeling blood or other body fluids from a low-pressure heart. According…

More importantly, however, the alleged injuries sustained as a result of Mr. Tolley’s fall are greatly exaggerated, and in no way have a causal connection to his death. Mr. Tolley’s medical records show that he died of a pulmonary embolism three months after the date of his fall at Bethel Ridge. Following his fall, medical records show that Mr. Tolley rolled approximately fifty feet (our witnesses are prepared to testify that he rolled ten feet—and a witness with personal…

The service I work for operates just south of the Metro Atlanta area and is owned by an established and successful hospital system. Our service is relatively small, four twenty-four hour trucks and one day truck, compared to number of call we handle per year, but also one of the most respected services in the metro Atlanta area as well. So, the areas that I would benchmark for clinical areas are the administration of pain medication along with the associated symptoms and the number of successful…

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a serious and oftentimes life threatening condition that is sadly easily treatable if caught early. The definition of Pulmonary Embolism is a blockage or thrombi in one of the pulmonary arteries of your lungs (Pulmonary Embolism). Most of these thrombi originate in the veins in your lower extremities; though sometimes the thrombi can come from upper extremity veins, renal, pelvic, or right heart chambers, instead. Once in the pulmonary arteries, large thrombi sometimes…

circulation, meaning the blood passes through the heart twice before completing one round; this allows for the blood to be “re-pressurized”. Once the right side of the heart receives blood from the body, it pumps it to the lungs. This is known as the pulmonary circuit. The left side of the heart is dedicated to taking the blood from the lungs and pumping it to the rest of the body. This is the systemic circuit. We are able to measure how fast the heart in contracting by taking arterial…

1. Explain the relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems. So in the simplest terms, the skeletal system (Bones) make it so that way you have structure in you’re not a blob of skin and cartilage, and the muscular system makes it so that way you can get up and move around. The skeletal system provides the framework for your body, while the muscular system consists of soft tissues that support the skeleton. 2. Why is the circulatory system important? Because it circulates the blood in…

circulatory system is composed of vessels that take blood from the heart, thin-walled capillaries where exchange occurs, and vessels that return blood to the heart. Blood is pumped by the heart simultaneously into two ways the pulmonary and systemic circuits. The pulmonary system takes blood through the lungs where gas exchange occurs and the systemic system transports blood to all parts of the body where exchange with tissue fluid takes place. In practical terms, we can think of the systemic…

Venous thromboembolism, encompassing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, has been increased in cancer patients, adversely affecting their prognosis. Low-molecular-weight heparins are recommended as efficacious and safe anticoagulation treatment in cancer patients. However, in clinical practice, oncologists prefer oral anticoagulation, especially if long-term or extended treatment is necessary. The novel oral anticoagulants have recently emerged as an alternative to the standard therapy…

c) Pulmo-cutanous arch- it divides into Pulmonary artery – it receives deoxygenated blood from different parts of the body and open into lungs. Cutanous artery- it supplies oxygenated blood to skin. Venous System of frog Blood vessels, which carry the deoxygenated blood from different parts of…

the right atrium of the heart -> right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary artery -> lungs -> oxygen rich blood is transported to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins -> left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta -> body. The pattern of blood flow through the cardiovascular system is through the lungs (the pulmonary circuit) and through the rest of the body to all of the cells (the systemic circuit) simultaneously. The pulmonary circuit transports oxygen-poor…
