Chapter 14: Critical Care Nursing (Pg 338-366‚ 412-437) Chapter 15: Cardiovascular Disorders Coronary Artery Disease Description and Etiology The biggest contributor to cardiovascular system- related morbidity and mortality is coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease that affects arteries throughout the body. (CAD) Risk Factors for CAD 1. Age‚ Gender‚ Race (non-modifiable) a. More common in men than women b. Higher in women over 75 years of age 2. Family History

one particular system that is extraordinary‚ and it is devised to channel blood in or bodies. It has many organs put together that helps your body maintain your internal environment and fight diseases. This system is called the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory‚ system has a mission to convey components‚ defend‚ and support. It contains the heart‚ the blood vessels‚ the blood‚ and the lungs. The main three functions are

1. Why do we need a cardiovascular system? Because we need to get oxygen through our system. 2. Make sure you know which circuits the left and right heart pump into (pulmonary or systemic). Also know the status of blood (fully oxygenated or not) at -the aorta: Left‚systematic‚ and fully oxygenated. -a pulmonary vein: Left side‚ pulmonary‚ and fully oxygenated. Goes from the right side of the body(heart) into the (left) pulmonary veins then goes to the left atrium then to the left ventricle then

breathing? If so‚ how? The pH did not change during the normal breathing. 5. Was the pH level always within the “normal” range for the human body? Yes it was. 6. Did the PCO2 level change during the course of normal breathing? If so‚ how? No it did not change either. Activity 2a: Hyperventilation – Run 1 1. At 20 seconds‚ pH = 7.48 2. At 40 seconds‚ pH = 7.52 3. At 60 seconds‚ pH = 7.65 4. Maximum pH = 7.65 5. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during this run? If so‚ how?

COT3103 10/21/2014 Exercises Section 2.5 2. Determine whether each of these sets is finite‚ countably infinite‚ or uncountable. For those that are countably infinite‚ exhibit a one-to-one correspondence between the set of positive integers and that set. a. The integers greater than 10. This is countably infinite. Starting from the first integer greater than 10‚ which is 11‚ one can infinitely count upwards since there is no boundary on the right side of the number line for this instance. The equation

following: m · Ra = RF ‚ where Ra = is the acceleration. The velocity v obtained by application of a constant force is given as a function of the time t by the expression Rv (t) = t for Rv (0) = 0 . Assuming that Rv (0) = 0 ; Rr (0) = 0 the position of Rr of the mass point is Rr (t) = · t2 . (0) In the present case the motion is unidimensional and the force produce by a weight of m1 is | RF | = m1 · | Rg | ; m1 · g where g is the acceleration of gravity. If the total mass of the glider

Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic____ __cardiac__ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses_____ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of ____heart depolarization____. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3. List the functions for the following parts of the intrinsic conduction system: a. SA node _sets the pace for the

DYNAMICS Dynamics-is the degree of loudness or softness of sound. It indicates the particular level of intensity in which a music or sound is to be played. Usually loud and intensified music creates great tension and soft music creates a feeling of calmness and tranquillity. It makes music so expressive that may affect the listener’s mood. Dynamics describe the volume‚ or how loud or soft the music is played; Italian terms for dynamics include forte (loud) and piano (soft). Dynamics signs-are

The cardiovascular system is an organ system comprised of the heart‚ blood and blood vessels. The cardiovascular system forms a part of the circulatory system‚ which circulates blood‚ lymph and oxygen throughout the body. The cardiovascular system works in conjunction with the digestive system to move nutrients throughout the body‚ and is also closely related to nervous system function. Here are some facts and functions of the cardiovascular system. 1. The Heart is at the Center of the Cardiovascular
