What the valves do: • Prevent backflow into the atria and ventricles‚ ensuring that blood only flows one way through the heart. what vessels bring blood to the heart and take blood away‚ etc...

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Chronic Kidney Disease Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the circulatory system. It consists of the heart‚ which is a muscular pumping device‚ and a closed system of vessels called arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. As the name implies‚ blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body.

systemic route differs from the other route. In the systemic route blood is moved through the body providing it with oxygen and nutrients while blood with no oxygen is sent back to the heart. When the pulmonary enters the left to part of the heart called the atrium oxygen goes through the pulmonary veins. After it leaves the left atrium and goes to the ventricle through a valve that is called the martial

BLS CPR Training Guide CPR stands for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. This involves the giving if life giving breaths and a series of external chest compression to person who has no breathing and no pulse. Often‚ CPR is associated with medical emergencies such as heart attack‚ drowning‚ chocking. It should be noted however that CPR is applicable to any situation where in the victim or patient has no breathing and no signs of life The Chain of Survival The chain of survival

attached to the heart‚ and what does it do? The largest vessel that is attached to the heart is the aorta. This carries nutrient filled blood to the rest of the body. 3. What is pulmonary circulation? Pulmonary circulation is the circulation of blood from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins. The heart pumps deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and then the blood is sent back being oxygenated‚ where it is then pumped to the rest of the body. 4

Peripheral Artery Disease and Risks The common cause of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is atherosclerosis. Less common causes of peripheral artery disease may be blood vessel inflammation‚ injury to your limbs‚ unusual anatomy of your ligaments or muscles‚ or radiation exposure (Mayo Clinic‚ 2016). The risk factors for PAD are the same as those for atherosclerotic disease; they are smoking‚ hypertension‚ diabetes‚ increased levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)‚ decreased levels of high-density
