THE AMAZING CIRCULATORY SYSTEM The circulatory system preforms many different jobs. It carries oxygen to the cells of the body and it also caries nutrients throughout the body to make heat and energy. In addition to that, the vascular system delivers hormones to specific organs. Another thing the circulatory system does is collect metabolic waste and deliver it to the excretory glands. Lastly, the circulatory system works with the immune system to help fight infection and defend. The fact that…

when you have a stroke? First of all, what is a stroke? A stroke is when blood vessels to the brain are disrupted. It can either be a blockage which is made of fatty tissue which causes a blood clot (which 85% of strokes are) or a bleed in the vessel (15% of them are). The cut off blood flow causes damaged brain cells which can cause different symptoms depending which part of the brain is affected. The blood vessels clots or the tears can be located in the brain, neck, heart. If the clot is…

Leadership Philosophy In the effort to create “a new wave of experimentation and advancement” (Senge, 2013, p. 11) within the STEM curricula at OCTC in this Action Research study, my leadership philosophy is guided by Senge’s (2013) disciplines which are building a shared vision, personal mastery, team learning, mental models, and systems thinking for effective leadership within a learning organization. Building a shared vision is sharing pictures of the future with the members to decide on a…

The heart is an essential part of a human’s body. It is a muscular organ located at the center of the circulatory system that pumps blood throughout the body. The system comprises of veins, arteries, and capillaries, and these blood vessels carry blood to and from all areas of one’s body to sustain life. It beats around 100,000 times and pumps around 2,000 gallons per day. The heart is vital to one’s health and everything that goes on in his or her body. The heart is also prone to many different…

Aneurysm is a common disease affecting about half of the world population, mostly find in men. Aneurysm origin is usually the walls of the blood vessels or the branches of the arteries. As the Aneurysm grows it tends to get larger in the walls of the arteries which can cause discomfort. There are two main types of aneurysm: cerebral aneurysm and aorta aneurysm. An aneurysm can be diagnose with .Regular screening or x-ray, and once taken place, the doctor can determine if surgery is needed…

homeostasis in the body. It is composed of the muscular pumping organ, the heart, and a closed system of vessels called arteries, veins, and capillaries. “A baby 's heart begins to develop at conception, but is completely formed by eight weeks into the pregnancy” (Stanford Children’s Health). As the heart reaches structural and functional maturation, it will involuntarily pump blood to the blood vessels to nourish cells with the oxygen and nutrients they need to carry out their metabolic…

There are multiple factors that contribute to the build-up of plaque in the vessels and in turn, the development of atherosclerosis (Silverthorn et al., 2009 p327). The disease attacks different arteries in the body, but the most harmful conditions involve damages to the vessels of the 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…

Blood is the only liquid in the body that is classified as connective tissue. Its function is to transport oxygen, metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste from the kidneys. Regulation of the body’s pH, body temperature, and maintenance of the liquid volume in the circulatory system. Lastly, protection by way of Leukocyte activation and preventing blood loss by way of the platelets in the blood. Blood is composed of 55% plasma (water, salts, plasma proteins, and other…

2.1. The left ventricle and interventricular septum The heart has two inferior chambers, called the right and left ventricles, respectively. These chambers are the “pumps” that expel blood into the blood vessels and keeps it flowing through the body (Rizzo, 2016). The left ventricle is a cavity that has thick muscular walls that contains the papillary muscles as well as the chordae tendinae that attaches the atrio-ventricular valve leaflets to the papillary muscles (Leeson, Augustine,…

blood-vessels (with their contained fluid, blood). The heart is a muscular organ and pumps blood to all parts of the human body by the process of contraction. Pure-.oxygenated blood is carried by the dhamani (arteries) and impure-deoxygenated blood by the sira (veins). Some common cardiac ailments and there Ayurvedic management is discussed below High blood pressure (Hypertension) Cause: Age factor is the leading cause of hypertension. With passage of time the elasticity of the blood vessels…
