It is important to gather a patient’s symptoms and carefully examine them to make the correct diagnosis because there are too many categories that simple symptoms can fall under. This paper will explain the purpose of plasma‚ red blood cells‚ and platelets. It will also share scenarios of

Abstract The objective of this study was to observe and record the effects that exercise has on cardiovascular functions such as mean blood pressure‚ cardiac output‚ and total peripheral resistance by comparing each numerical function’s numerical data before and after exercise. Before exercise‚ the mean blood pressure (MPB) was 84.03 mmHg with a standard deviation of 10.3. After exercise‚ MBP was 92.19 with a standard deviation of 10.5. The cardiac output (CO) before exercise was 5.45 Liters/minute

1.6 Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the main factor in sustaining blood flow through tissues. The force applied to the arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the circulatory system defines the physiological meaning of blood pressure (Bojanov‚ 2009). Blood pressure is determined by the force‚ heartbeat rate‚ and resistance to blood flow through vessels. Cyclic changes in arterial blood pressure are partially attributed to the rhythmic contractions in the left ventricle (Iaizzo‚ 2009)

Blood Transfusions A blood transfusion is a safe‚ common procedure in which blood is given to you through an intravenous (IV) line in one of your blood vessels. Blood transfusions are done to replace blood lost during surgery or due to a serious injury. A transfusion also may be done if your body can’t make blood properly because of an illness. During a blood transfusion‚ a small needle is used to insert an IV line into one of your blood vessels. Through this line‚ you receive healthy blood. The

Hormones can react to increase blood pressure when it becomes low‚ the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system uses several ways to temporarily increase blood pressure when it has dropped for example during the fight or flight response. During the response‚ the sympathetic division is needed to stimulate the adrenal glands to release the hormones epinephrine and norepineprine which stimulate the heart to beat faster and for blood to flow more forcefully‚ this effect makes most of the

Bloodstain pattern analysis is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. Blood spatter analysis can tell the distance from the source of the blood to the pattern‚ the direction from which the blood impacted‚ the speed the droplet was traveling‚ the location of the point of origin‚ and even the movement of a bleeding individual throughout the scene. There are three basic types of bloodstains. The first type of bloodstains are passive

When a baby is developing maternal blood supplies the oxygen‚ blood‚ and nutrients to the fetus and takes away the waste. The exchange of maternal blood and fetal blood to the fetus happens through the placental membrane and the umbilical cord vessels. The umbilical vein goes into the body through the umbilical ring‚ and half of the blood running though it goes to the liver and the rest goes to the ductus venous. It joins with the inferior vena cava. Blood goes to the fetal right atrium from the

about the circulatory system and the blood that runs through it‚ the use of blood transfusions have steadily declined. As a result transfusion alternatives have steadily increased. Through out this progression of knowledge such debates have come up‚ such as religious and ethical questions regarding transfusions of blood and blood fractions. There are also arguments regarding whose choice it should be to refuse a medical treatment‚ much less the transfusion of blood. At times some doctors will not go
