PPT-Lividity When the heart stops pumping blood through the body, blood will travel in the

The pooling of blood in the direction of gravity is called lividity Lividity begins to appear about 30 minutes to 2 hours after death and continues to become more apparent and darker for up to 12 hours. Blood pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day but it can damage your heart and cause health problems if it stays high for a long time High blood pressure is also called hypertension High Blood Pressure in the United States Having high b Video Introduction. (22min). The Body’s Transport System. Made up of the . heart. , . blood. and a series of . blood vessels. .. Functions. :. Delivers . nutrients. and . oxygen. to the body cells.. S. ystems: . The Circulatory System. Project by Tyson, . Natori. , and Emily.. What is the circulatory system and what does it do?. The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system, is a vital organ system in the human body composed of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.. Blood pressure (BP) . is the pressure or tension exerted on the arterial walls as blood pulsates through them (principal vital sign). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) . – pressure exerted on the arteries during the contraction phase of the heartbeat. . ♦ An average adult human contains. about 5 liters (5.3qt) of blood.. ♦ The blood makes up about . onethirteenth. of the body’s weight.. ♦ The adult heart weighs about 280 grams (10 oz.). ♦ At rest, the heart pumps out about 80 millimeters. Atrium. : Also known as Auricles. the smaller superior chambers of the heart where blood collects either from the body or the lungs..  . Ventricle. : these are the larger chambers that collect the blood from the atriums.. REGULATION MEANS. Intrinsic cardiac regulation of pumping in response to changes in volume of blood flowing into the heart.. Autonomic nervous System by controlling heart rate and strength of heart pumping.. THE PULMONARY AND SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION. .. THE PULMONARY CIRCULATION. CARRIES BLOOD BETWEEN THE HEART AND THE LUNGS.  THIS CIRCULATION BEGINS AT THE RIGHT VENTRICLE AND ENDS AT THE LEFT ATRIUM. 3. Oxygen-Poor blood is pumped out of the Right Ventricle of the Heart into the Lungs through the Pulmonary Arteries.  These are the only Arteries in the Body to Carry Deoxygenated Blood. . .. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body and deoxygenated blood to the lungs. In the human . heart. there is one . atrium. and one . ventricle. for each circulation, and with both a systemic and a pulmonary circulation there are four chambers in total: . IN BRIEF: its underlying cause. Most anemias are treatable, so an accurate diagnosis is important. Medical and Family Histories Your doctor will want to know about your signs and symptoms and how Leading cause of death in the United States for adults. 1 in 4 adults are ill with a form of this disease.. Heart disease develops slowly over a lifetime.. What is the difference between heart disease and cardiovascular disease?. each time your heart contracts, it causes a wave or pulsation in the blood system of the body. This can be seen very clearly when an artery is cut and the blood spurts out of the cut vessel with each beat of the heart. . Identify the role of the arteries, veins and capillaries. Why do veins need valves but arteries do not?. Explain the role of the systemic and pulmonary circulation in the double circulatory system. . . system. Blood. The cardiovascular. . system.
