Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

come together in form little clusters that cannot pass through the blood vessels. The reaction occurs from the complement system when the person receiving the blood has a rare protein on their blood cells. So antibodies to this certain antigen are not present until after the patient is exposed to the blood. This is why all blood is typed‚ crossed‚ and then cross-matched with the potential recipients’ blood. 4. Our lymphatic systems have several jobs‚ from body tissues it removes extra fluids‚ it

High or Low Blood Pressure? Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to compare blood pressure as related to gender and athletic status. Hypothesis: I predict that males have a higher blood pressure than women and athletes have a higher blood pressure than non athletes Background Info: Blood pressure is the amount of force that blood pushes against the inside walls of blood vessels as it passes through. This pressure

Title: Observing Bacteria and Blood Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to use a compound microscope and an oil immersion lens while observing prepared bacterial slides. Additionally‚ it will be necessary to prepare slides so as to observe bacterial cultures from yogurt as well as to observe the composition of blood (i.e. red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and platelets). Procedure: Exercise 1: Viewing Prepared Slides To begin this lab experiment I first constructed

This essay will explain the function of the respiratory‚ digestive and cardiovascular systems and how they work together to produce nutrients and oxygen to the cells for cellular respiration (energy for the body) The first system in the body is the digestive system. When food enters the mouth the salivary glands secrete saliva which mixes with the food. This makes it easy to chew and swallow. Once the food has been chewed enough the food travels down the oesophagus to the stomach. Once the food

Introduction In this lab experiment our group was given four different types of synthetic blood samples‚ along with three types of synthetic anti- A‚ B‚ and Rh‚ to help identify the ABO-Rh blood types. Its purpose of this experiment is to learn about the form and functions of the bloods components‚ as well as to examine and identify different blood types‚ as many already do so and apply it to real life events‚ whether its through forensics‚ crime scene investigations or at hospitals to help identify
