The abdominal aorta supplies the abdominal walls, viscera, and ends at T4 level where it branches into right and left common iliac arteries to supply the pelvis and lower limbs. The superior vena cava vein receives systemic blood draining from all areas superior to the diaphragm except the heart wall. It unites with the right and left brachiocephalic veins and empties into the right atrium. Both brachiocephalic veins are formed by the joining of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. The inferior
The physician will gain information from each of these tests to diagnose M.M. Blood coagulation studies screen for PE and also test to detect a prothrombotic state. ABG’s on room air will determine oxygenation of the tissues and pulmonary function. Continuous pulse oximetry is to ensure that he is profusing oxygen effectively and receiving as much oxygen as he needs. Chest x-ray will directly image blood clots causing blockages in the pulmonary arteries.
The lymph vessels collect fluid, called lymph from the body tissues and return it to the blood, maintaining the fluid balance within the body. Lymph filters through the lymph nodes, which are packed with white blood cells known as lymphocytes. These are produced in the bone marrow, spleen and thymus, and they help to protect the body against infections. Spleen: This is the largest lymphatic organ. It is located on the left side of the body just above the kidney.
Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed. * the density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas. Therefore, liquid and solid are both termed condensed matter STRESS * A stress is expressed as a quotient of a force divided by an area. There are many kinds of stress.

Year 10 Pre-Diploma Biology Heart Dissection Introduction This lab practical allows you to identify and compare the size, shape and tissue type of the major chambers and vessels of the heart. The goal of the lab is not just to observe anatomy, but to associate structure with function. The heart is a pump for blood that comes into the right atrium, goes out to the lungs through the right ventricle, returns through the left atrium, and leaves again through the left ventricle - a double circulation. Each chamber is separated by valves that prevent the backflow of blood. Try and figure out where the various components are, how each works, especially how the shape, composition, and even texture of each part contribute to its function.

Transition Sentence: Let’s begin with my first main idea. Body Main Idea 1: I will now tell you what organ donation is and some brief history on it. According to www.donatelife.net, organ donation is the process of giving an organ or parts of an organ for the purpose of transplantation into another person. You can donate eleven body parts. This includes heart, heart valves, kidneys, pancreas, lungs, liver, intestines, skin, bone marrow, connective tissue, and corneas.
Abdominal Vascular Physiology Abdominal Vascular Physiology by A Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements of Abdominal Vascular Diseases January, 2012 Abstract In the Abdominal Vascular Physiology paper that you are about to read, I briefly outline the anatomy of some of the abdominal arteries and veins. I also describes the basic, or normal, hemodynamics of those vessels. You will learn the anatomical location, what organ that vessel supplies and if there are any possible anatomic variations. You will learn what type of waveform you can expect when interogating the vessels through ultrasound. I also briefly touch on what an abdominal aortic aneurysm is and how to look at it with ultrasound.
