CASE STUDY 1 1. The cardiovascular system consists of the following- Blood – It is a red color fluid in the body. Heart – It is also called the control center of our body. It pumps and collects blood to and from the various parts of our body. Blood vessels – Blood vessels are path through which transport medium circulates in our body. 2. The functions of cardiovascular system are as follows- Transportation- It transports blood to all the parts of body. The blood delivers oxygen and nutrients…

Sarah Hill 0583028 BIOL 3830H F03 Simon Tapper Wednesday, October 11th, 2017 The relationship between blood physiology and cardiac ability in Equus caballus compared to Bos taurus and Capra aegagrus hircus compared to Canis lupus familiaris Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to study the relationship between blood physiology and the ability to transport oxygen. The red blood cell content, hematocrit percent, and hemoglobin concentrations of Equus caballus (horse) and Bos taurus…

- The purpose of the Electrocardiogram test is to monitor and measure the quantity and quality of the electrical rhythm of the heart. Understanding the electrical rhythms of the heart is important because your heart's electrical system controls the timing of your heartbeat and you would have to understand how the electrical rhythm of the heart should be to know what problems may be occurring. There are three common variables that are encountered in an electrocardiogram which are the direction…

Seeing how the Frog uses veins to carry its blood through the body, then that means it has a closed circulatory system, rather than an open one where the blood is just kinda floating about. Moving on the digestion of a Frog, they use their long tongues to latch onto various types…

Have health organizations been warning us about the dangers in sodium(table salt)? Today, i’m going to tell you about the health benefits and dangers in sodium(table salt). Also, i’m going to discuss the diseases you can get from too sodium. First, i’m going to tell you what sodium is. Sodium is a chemical element, it is a soft silver- white reactive metal of the alkali metal group; it is also the an electrolyte the body needs to regulate blood sugar. Sodium is extremely reactive, it never…

begin to function abnormally, it can throw off the body's entire homeostasis, or steady state. The cardiovascular systems distributes oxygen rich blood from the lungs to all of the body's organs and tissues by its heart pump and many arteries and veins. Cells throughout absorb what oxygen and nutrients are needed and then dispose of any carbon dioxide and waste which then flow back to the heart's right chambers and on to the lungs to be exchanged for more oxygen. As you inhale, air passes…

The heart is one of the strongest muscles in the human body. It is mostly made up of cardiac muscle, which causes the contractions of the heart, or heartbeat. The cardiac muscle works constantly to pump blood throughout the body and is one of the three major types of muscle. The cells in the heart are closely connected so that they all beat at the same time, and they form the thick middle layer of the heart, in between the outer epicardium and the inner endocardium layers. There are two main…

will therefore increase. 6. What symptoms might result from hypernatremia? Symptoms that might result from hypernatremia are weakness, nausea, confusion, thirst due to stimulation of the thirst center in the brain, difficulty in breathing due to pulmonary edema and muscle twitching. 7. How would this increase in salt load affect the patient's blood-aldosterone level? In your answer, explain the function of the hormone aldosterone. The increase in salt load will cause the patient’s…

During one year, the heart initiates approximately 32 million heartbeats to pump blood around the body, beating a total of 60-80 times per minute at a normal pace. It is a highly efficient organ and constantly works to keep our blood circulation going and ourselves alive. The high efficiency of the heart pumping system originates in a conductive system, which is linked to the Sinoatrial (S-A) and Atrioventricular (A-V) node. The Sinoatrial node, also known as the natural cardiac pacemaker, is…

The carotid-toe pulse wave velocity (PWV) increases more with age than the carotid-radial PWV. This is due to the reduction of elasticity in central arteries; the PWV of these arteries is included in the carotid-toe measurement but not the carotid-radial measurement. First of all, the propagative model of the circulatory system is used when examining PWV. This model consists of distensible arteries that end with resistance vessels, whose distributed elastic properties allow the generation of a…
