unilateral colonic seizures, vomiting and loss of consciousness. Cranial CT Scan revealed an acute non-communicating hydrocephalus with dilated bilateral and third ventricles that was interpreted to a blockage in cfs circulation at forth ventricle level by fungal infection or granuloma formation (Figure 3). Placing an external ventricle drainage, increased her level of consciousness and after a while a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was replaced and her antifungal regiment was changed to…

turn controls the rate in which the heart beats. The atrioventricular (AV) node later receives the electrical current and sends the current to the ventricles thru cells known as the AV bundle. This is the area that this victim had a blockage. When this system is healthy and functioning properly the electrical current flow is carried into both ventricles and a synchronized contraction is created this is known as the heart beat. The term cardiac arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat, this victim…

The doctors gave him medication to slow down the closing of the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale in the heart so blood could be pumped to both the lungs and the rest of his body by the right ventricle. His first open heart surgery was successful. The surgeon’s performed the Norwood Procedure which basically removed the wall separating the atrium and also attached the pulmonary trunk to the aorta. This procedure was the first of three open heart…

anterior-superior, left anterior-superior and the left posterior-inferior bundle branches that run along inter ventricular septum. The atria and the ventricles are functionally linked only by the AV node and the conduction system. From the SA node the impulse spreads over the atrial muscles causing atrial contraction. These electrical impulse blowouts into the ventricles, causing the muscle to contract and to pump blood to the lungs and body. Since the SA node suddenly generates action…

four chambers. The four chambers are the left atrium, the right atrium, left ventricle and the right ventricle. The left atrium is the collecting chamber. It collects oxygen and rich blood returning from the heart. The right atrium is also the collecting chamber for blood returning from the trip. The left ventricle is a part of the pumping chamber and it pumps blood through all body parts. Lastly, the right ventricle is also a part of the pumping chamber and it forces blood out of the…

lungs. 3. What are the major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart? out of the right side of the heart? The major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart are the right pulmonary veins and the right ventricle carries the blood out. 4. What are the major blood vessels that bring blood into…

Jessica Grandier Bio 204 section 201 Case Study 1a What are the normal values for PH, Erythrocyte count, Leucocyte count, Platelet count. ( 1 point each) The normal values for PH are 7.35-7.45, the normal erythrocyte count for males is 4.7 - 6.1*10^6 /ul million and for women it is 4.2 -5.4*10^6/ ul million, Leucocyte count is 4,800-10,00 mmm^3 of blood and normal platelet count is 150,00-450,00 platelet for microliters. 1b What are the terms used for increase and decrease in PH…

The heart has 4 sections inside: left and right atria and left and right ventricle. The right atrium receives blood that is low on oxygen molecules from the superior and inferior vena cavae. The superior vena cava is one of the largest veins in the body that brings de-oxygenated blood from the lower part of the body to the right…

Study of the brain is significant in gaining insights on its structural and functional design and mechanisms which help explain the cause of various existing neurological and psychiatric diseases (Kotter, 2001). Consequently, the histological study of the nervous system and its components which underlies the understanding of the brain forms the basis and foundation of neuroscientific research (Annese, 2012). Important components of the nervous system include the spinal cord which consists of…

Explain the significance of the thickness of the left ventricular wall. The left ventricle works harder as it pumps blood to the systemic circuit, not just to the pulmonary portions as the right ventricular does. Therefore, the left ventricular walls are thicker, to support the hard work that it has to do throughout the body (Martini & Nath,2014 p.685) The major coronary vessels are on the surface of the heart. What is the advantage of that location? The heart has its own blood supply from the…
