The arteries carry nutrients and oxygenated blood to the body’s tissues. The veins return de-oxygenated blood to the heart, where the cycle repeats itself continuously. However the blood vessels have a closed type of cardiovascular system in which blood doesn’t come in direct contact with the body tissues. Instead the blood flows in restricted pathways called blood vessels. The blood vessels are pathways of blood flow in the body.
It is responsible for emotions, pain, and movement, just to name a few. The nervous system is also responsible the increase and the decrease of heart rate. When the body starts to undergo stressful conditions the sympathetic nervous system reacts by influencing the endocrine system to release hormones to deal with the stressful conditions. The endocrine system releases the chemicals norepinephrine and epinephrine which increase heart rate. When the body is at rest, the heart is influenced by the parasympathetic nervous system.
This paper aims to describe the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation and the rationale behind the information included in the patient education tool. Atrial Fibrillation: A Patient Education Guide The heart is a muscle that contains four chambers; the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. Each of these chambers has a purpose. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs and the left ventricle pumps blood to the rest of the body. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood via the superior and inferior vena cava.
The cardiac cycle is controlled by electrical waves that spread throughout the heart. The blood flows into the heart straight into the atria via the vena cava and pulmonary vein. A wave of electrical activity is firstly spread from the Sino-atrial node which spreads across both atria, this causes the atria to contract which forces blood down into the ventricles through the atrioventricular valves. The atrioventricular septum prevents the wave crossing the ventricles. The wave passes to the atrioventricular node where it is passed down the septum down specialised fibres known as the bundle of His.
Homeostasis mechanisms control the body temperature, breathing rate, heart rate, blood glucose levels and many more. The body gives two types of feedback within the body – Negative feedback and Positive feedback. The internal environment is everything that consists within the body everything within the body must be kept within a certain range to allow the cells within the body to still function. Negative feedback is used when the body detects changed in the body and corrects them. These are the steps, Receptors in the nervous system detect a change in the body, Impulses are sent to the control centre, often the brain, and then impulses are sent from the effectors to counteract the change.
How is aortic stenosis diagnosed? • A doctor may hear a heart murmur or other abnormal noises when listening with a stethoscope. Murmurs and noises are due to blood passing through abnormal valves, or to abnormal movement of valves. Aortic stenosis causes typical murmurs and noises. • Chest X-ray may show some calcification around the aortic valve.
It controls the redistribution of blood from the abdominal tract to the working muscles to meet oxygen demands. Vasodilation involves widening the lumen of blood vessels of the skin, this increases blood flow and rate of heat loss. The vessels are also brought near the surface of the skin sweat glands near the skin begin to secret sweat on the surface of the skin through the pores and hairs lay flat so that heat can be
They tend to enlarge following vigorous exercise, a phenomenon called muscular hypertrophy and are located around the body. Conversely, cardiac muscle is confined only to the heart, its main role being to distribute blood. Its myogenic nature means contractions are under involuntary control and cause prevention from fatigue. The natural beating rhythm is adjusted via sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons of the CNS to suit physiological conditions. The function of these muscles is closely related to their structure and any differences in structure allow these two types of muscle to be identified.
A carotid ultrasound uses sound waves to see the carotid arteries in your neck. With this you can see the blood flow going up to the brain and find any areas that are reducing blood flow. An echocardiogram also uses sound waves, but instead of imaging blood vessels, this images the heart. This is used to look for blood clots and to see if there is any narrowing of the carotid artery. An electrocardiogram is a device the shows the pattern of electrical activity that is in your heart.
I believe that if there is a God and He is great and loves us, then He would want us to think of others and volunteer and those type of things more than worshipping how amazing He is. That sounds very selfish to me. So this is why you should do what you think is right and not because someone tells you its right. Because if someone tells you something is right, they can still be wrong. No one can decide what is right or wrong except yourself.
