Comparing Venous And Arterial Blood
The differences between Venous and Arterial blood are as follows, arterial blood is carried away from the heart and taken to other parts of our bodies, while Venous blood is carried from other parts of our bodies and taken to the heart. Arterial is an oxygenated blood that is carried from the heart apart from the pulmonary artery. Venous blood is deoxygenated and is carried from other various parts of the body to the heart, except the pulmonary vain. Arterial blood flows at a high pressure while Venous blood flows under low pressure. Arterial blood runs through arteries, starting from the left chamber of the heart and

    Blood enters the heart through the Superior Vena Cava which is the large vein at the top of the heart, and the Inferior Vena Cava, which is the large vein at the bottom of the heart. Blood flows into the right atrium, passes through the tricuspid valve, and makes its way into the right ventricle. It then moves through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery to the lungs.” After picking up oxygen in the lungs, the blood moves out of the lungs into the pulmonary vein, into the left atrium, through the mitral valve, and into the left ventricle that pushes blood to the body through the aortic valve. Once blood leaves the heart it is in the aorta where it flows to various parts of the body” (Whitlock, J. 2017).…

The materials that are used are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In the tube the combination of the two liquids is called blood. The liquid (plasma) is on the top and the materials are on the bottom. We discussed why the heart is important and what it does. The heart is important because it pumps the blood through our body and how the vessels travel to and from the heart. The heart has two parts the right and left atrium, they send oxygen blood to lung and is a power circulation the body. We talked about the 2 types of Circuits (pulmonary and systemic). The pulmonary circuit pumps blood to the lungs and back, where the red blood cells can get oxygen while the systemic circuits blood pump from the heart to the body tissues and back. Another part we learned about being the vessels and three parts. According to google online dictionary the blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system that transports blood throughout the human body. We discussed the three parts the vessels consist of, arteries, veins, and capillaries.

    Analyzing blood is the worst part of the job to me. It is one the main reasons why I might not pursue this specific career in Criminal Justice. I can’t deal with blood because it affects me mentally. I can talk about it, but the sight may make me nauseous or I could faint, especially if it’s a large amount (pool stains). I could sit and watch the most gruesome horror movie and eat dinner while watching it. However, I do feel I may get over that hump like if I talk about it more and the repetitive experience through the job. I searched around the web and found a few interesting facts about blood splatter analysis. I also found a video explaining blood splatter and its relation to the murder case involving a hammer in Arizona. I will post the…
