capillaries) (Martini, 548). Moreover, the bodily fluid that flows inside these structures is blood and it has traveled from all parts of the body. The heart is a complex organ that contains four chambers the left atria, right atria, left ventricle and right ventricle which pump the blood throughout the body. (Martini, Tallitsch and Timmons, 550). Furthermore, within the heart, are four valves called the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, the mitral valve and the aortic valve which is…

remains, “how does it do it?” To understand that, we first need to know a little about the structure of the heart, the heart has four chambers or “rooms”. The atria, are the two upper chambers that collect blood as it flows into the heart, and the ventricles are the two lower chambers that pump blood out of the heart to the lungs or other parts of the body. It has four valves, the tricuspid valves is in the right side of the heart, between the right atrium and the…

which is a structure in the ventricles of the brain. The viscosity of the Cerebrospinal fluid is similar to the blood plasma. It produces approximately 500 ml each day and provides a fundamental mechanics and immunological protection to the brain and inside the bone. Cerebrospinal fluid spread all through the brain in the…

the most common type of cardiomyopathies, occurring mostly in adults 20 to 60, more common in men, usually starting in the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle), the muscles of the heart starts to stretch and to become thinner leading consequently to enlargement inside the chamber of the heart and can spreads to the right ventricle and then to the atria (Bhf.org.uk, 2017). When the heart chambers dilate, the heart muscle can’t contract normally and it became more difficult for blood to…

weakness, fatigue, syncope, dizziness, decreased exercise tolerance. CHF also manifests increased pressure and congestion behind a failing ventricle. For example in the left ventricle failure sign and symptoms will include SOB, dyspnea, tachypnea; orthopnea, crackles, cough, and s3 gallops. Cyanosis may also be present in left ventricle failure. In right ventricle failure signs and symptoms include distended neck veins, liver enlargement with right upper quadrant pain, nausea, anorexia, and…

Last there is the brain. The brain is the control focal point of the human body. The human brain stores data, corresponding that data with other data to offer the body some assistance with making selections and to have the body put the decisions into actions. The brain and spinal cord are created from the neural tube. The neural tube then extends causing the tube to then makes three locales called the primary brain vesicles: prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and the rhombencephalon. The…

Assessment Task Two Case Study Question 1 Mr. Harding has a number of ‘pre-morbid’ chronic conditions that may be impacting on his admission and the care you will need to provide. Choose two (2) of Mr. Harding’s chronic diseases, explain the pathophysiology. What organs are affected by each disorder? (20 marks/10 per disorder) Asthma Asthma is a chronic syndrome related to the inflamed airways of the lungs (Rogers 2010). This is due to the constriction of the airways from an exaggerated…

pulmonary blood contains deoxygenated blood. In order to prevent oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing there is a structure called an interventricular septum. The septum separates the cardiac chambers; right and left atria and the right and left ventricles. There are four valves, which regulate backflow to the chambers. There are two types of valves, which are the atrioventricular valves and the semilunar valves. The atrioventricular…

(Anatomy of the Heart, 2015). The heart is oddly shaped, almost oval at the bottom but with a series of veins and arteries at the top and sides. It definitely is not “heart” shaped. It is made up of four chambers consisting of two atria (upper) and two ventricles (lower). These chambers are separated into right and left side by the septum, which is a wall of muscle. The four layers of the heart are the pericardium, epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium (Ireland, 2012). It can weigh between…

with the beat of your heartrate. There are 4 different types of arrhythmias, premature which is when you get extra beats (the most common type), Supraventricular tachycardia is when your heart beats too fast, ventricular rhythm issues can halt the ventricle from pumping blood into your body (this could result in cardiac arrest), and Bradycardia is when your heart beats too slow meaning not enough blood gets to your brains sometimes meaning you could pass out. If someone is unlucky to have…
