During pregnancy the cardiorespiratory system of the fetus adapts for survival in utero and then changes to an independent postnatal circulatory system. In order to understand the differences in fetal circulation versus postnatal circulation it is important to note that in a fully functioning not pregnant mammal blood circulates in the following way: vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary semi lunar valve, pulmonary arteries, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium,…

My temperature rises as if my cheeks were slowly absorbing the heat from a hot stove. I support the weight of high expectations on my shoulder from myself and my family. I get onto my starting block and after every second going by I can hear my heart beating in my own ears so deafeningly as if it were pounding on my ribcage to rip free from my chest. I concentrate on gulping as much of oxygen I can accommodate in my mouth like a lion deprived of food and is ferociously stuffing…

Circadian Rhythm – a cycle that tells the body when to rise, sleep, eat which regulates many physiological processes. The internal body clock is affected by cues. Like sunrise and temperature. According to Professor Russell Foster in 2007, an Oxford University Neurologist said that student would gain more if their classes start in the afternoon. Forcing a student who arrives in the morning could be a result of poor memory and stress. He also added that teenager's body clocks between two hours…

strengthening muscles and enhancing immune system. It reduces the risk of many diseases including heart diseases, obesity or diabetes. It also maintains mental health and boosts the confidence too. Types of Exercises Considering their reactions and the effects on a person, exercises are divided into two main categories: • Aerobic Exercises…

Gaseous exchange Breathing is the body’s way of exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide. The lungs get oxygen through alveoli. The air is transported though the trachea and diverted though the bronchi into a lung, the bronchi extends into smaller tubes called bronchioles witch at the end of them are little air sacks (the alveoli). Oxygen is needed to get into the blood stream to allow oxygen to be supplied throughout the body in order for it to function normally. It does this by gaseous exchange.…

Case Study Assignment #1- Stroke Patient Assessment Introduction Stroke is the single leading cause of adult disability in Canada, also accounting for one third of all deaths (Ontario Stroke Network, 2017). Approximately 14,000 Canadians die from strokes annually, and around 430,000 Canadians live with the debilitating effects of stroke (Ontario Stroke Network, 2017). For the purpose of this assignment and to maintain patent confidentiality, the examined patient will be referred to as a…

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…
