Case Study # 2: Age-Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System Sarah Miller ITT Technical Institute As the heart ages it goes through changes such as thickening of the walls‚ slowing heart rate‚ decrease in maximum heart rate‚ loss of efficiency in pumping. The layers of the heart include the pericardium‚ epicardium‚ myocardium‚ and endocardium. The pericardium is the membrane that protects; it is a sac that the heart sits in and has a layer of fluid between for shock and absorption

Ginkgo biloba affects the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. Elasticity of the blood vessels‚ from the largest arteries to the smallest capillaries‚ improves the circulation in the limbs and brain. Similarly‚ acetylsalicylic acid acts by reducing blood viscosity and by reducing the risk of blood clots. It also has antioxidant properties. It removes free radicals and protects healthy blood cells. Some researchers claim that it supports the nervous system. increasing the supply of

the cardiovascular system in relation to energy. A.T.P is stored‚ chemical energy in the cell‚ without A.T.P we would die. To make A.T.P we need glucose oxygen. Carbon dioxide and heat are the waste products. The main function of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy is to transport the oxygen and glucose to the cells‚ and to transport the waste products such as carbon dioxide and urea (waste product from protein digestion) away from the cells and to the lungs or kidneys. Blood is a

The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood vessels‚ which are divided into arteries‚ veins and capillaries. The blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to the cells in the body. The arteries carry blood away from the heart and the veins carry it back to the heart. Capillaries are found in the muscles and the lungs‚ they have valves to stop the blood flowing backwards and this is also where gaseous exchange takes place. The heart works as a pump that pushes blood to the organs‚ tissues

The human body has to be controlled from advanced systems internally of which connect in order to function effectively. There are ten main systems within the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed
