Vascular anomalies are a serious medical condition that affect blood vessel formation in as many as 1 in 10 people (Richter and Suen 2015). Vascular anomalies can be divided into two broad categories: vascular tumors and vascular malformations (Richter and Suen 2015). Vascular tumors, also known as hemangiomas, are characterized by rapid growth with most undergoing involution once the patient has reached a certain age (Richter and Suen 2015). On the other hand, vascular malformations are…

Arterial system of frog Blood vessels, which carry oxygenated blood away from heart to different part of the body, are called arteries. They constitute a system called arterial system. Truncus arterious gives two branches right aortic trunk and left aortic trunk. Each aortic trunk again divides into three branches- a) Carotid arch: it divides into – Lingual artery – it supplies blood to tongue and hyoid. Common carotid – it supplies blood to buccal cavity and brain. it consists swelling at the…

What are the different types of blood vessels? Which vessels carry blood towards the heart? Which carry blood away from the heart? Where does gas exchange occur? The functions of the cardiovascular system are: pumping blood to body tissues and organs; maintaining homeostasis; and transport gases, waste, and hormones. The different types of blood vessels are: arteries, capillaries, and veins. The vessels that carry blood towards the heart are veins and the vessels that carry blood away from the…

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a defect related to the cardiovascular system. CHD alters the way blood flows into the heart. The irregularity of the heart in people with CHD is developed from birth though symptoms of the condition may not be present until adulthood. During the time of birth the closure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) should occur about 15 hours after birth though functional closure may be delayed for up to 3 months of life. Thus, an open DA is the functional indicator of…

Compare and contrast Structure: The main objective of the cardiovascular system is to transport materials around the body with blood serving as its transport medium. Blood is contained and transported in hollow tubes known as blood vessels. The body has three main types: Arteries, capillaries and Veins. All arteries (with the exception of pulmonary and umbilical arteries) transport Oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They branch off into smaller structures named…

P3 – Describe the structure and contraction of different types of muscle. In regards to muscle, there are three main types. These include voluntary (skeletal) muscle, involuntary (smooth) muscle and cardiac muscle. Each have particular functions within the body. One of the main functions which skeletal muscle is responsible for is allowing movement including both fine and gross motor skills to be carried out. Another function which skeletal muscle is required for is protecting an individual’s…

or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrient In my opinion the circulatory system is the most important . Without it you will not get no blood across the whole body and won't function well.Blood vessels are the body’s highways that allow blood to flow quickly and efficiently from the heart to every region of the body and back again. Without blood being pumped through your body you will soon die because no blood means your heart will soon die…

Circulatory System Organs The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, blood and the lungs: Figure 1: circulatory system 1. The Heart It is located slightly to the left of the middle of the chest, the heart is made of strong muscle tissue and protected by rib cage. It consists of four chambers that are hollow, that are two ventricles and two atria. The blood that moves towards…

Our bodies maintain many complex systems in order to have a consistent internal environment to achieve homeostasis. The lungs which are part of the respiratory system play a crucial role in homeostasis by controlling our breathing. The lungs provide the appropriate interface for gas exchange to occur, this includes the delivery of oxygen to the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide carried in the blood to the alveoli which is then expired out of the body. The removal of carbon dioxide also…

the cause may be as simple as being in a cold environment or your body's natural response to maintain its normal temperature. Beyond making people jump at your touch, icy extremities could signal a problem with your blood circulation, or the blood vessels in your fingers and toes. We’ve dug into the common causes for cold digits and when they might be cause for concern. Common Causes of Cold Fingers and Toes • Dehydration If you’re adequately hydrated, water will trap heat and release it…
