transportation of nutrients‚ gases and waste products‚ protection from infection and blood loss‚ maintenance of constant body temperature and maintaining fluid balance within the body. Arteries‚ capillaries and veins are major blood vessels. Arterioles are the smaller versions of arteries and they feed the capillaries. Capillaries are where exchange between blood and cells take places. The capillaries gives the cells nutrients‚ hormones and dissolved gases. The capillaries flush antigens

MD‚ PhD‚ St. Louis‚ Mo Objectives: Juxta-anastomotic stenosis (JAS) is one of the predominant causes of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure‚ with the reported incidence as high as 65%. We hypothesized that technical modification to alter the outflow vein configuration using the novel piggyback Straight Line Onlay Technique (pSLOT) would prevent JAS and improve AVF maturation. Methods: Intention-to-treat analysis of the outcomes of consecutive distal radiocephalic (RC) fistulas performed by a single operator

Consumer Fitness The bandwagon technique involves persuading people to do something by letting them know others are doing it. For example‚ "Everyone else has this product." or "Be part of the in-crowd." The glittering generalities technique is a generalized statement that is exaggerated. For example‚ "Brand X contains greater whitening agents than Brand Y." The plain folks technique implies there are no surprises or gimmicks because this product is for the common man. For example‚ "Just

blood into tough‚ elastic tubes called arteries‚ which branch into smaller vessels and convey oxygen-rich blood through the body. The arteries eventually divide into tiny capillaries‚ which have such thin walls‚ that oxygen‚ nutrients‚ minerals‚ and other substances pass through to surrounding cells and tissues. Waste substances flow from the tissues and cells into the blood for disposal. The capillaries join and enlarge to create tubes that eventually become veins‚ which take blood back to the heart

The heart is a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the blood vessels to various parts of the body by repeated‚ rhythmic contractions. It is found in all animals with a circulatory system‚ which includes the vertebrates. The adjective cardiac means "related to the heart" and comes from the Greek καρδιά‚ kardia‚ for "heart". Cardiology is the medical speciality that deals with cardiac diseases and abnormalities. The vertebrate heart is principally composed of cardiac muscle and connective

The human heart is slightly bigger than the size of ones fist. It is situated at a very safe place which is between the cage bones‚ i.e.‚ in the center of the chest. Usually it is slightly on the left side of the chest but in rare cases‚ it can be found on the right side. Heart is responsible for the blood flow to every single part of the body by constant contraction and relaxation of cardiac muscles. This is the reason why we hear rhythmic beats all the time. Heart pumps the pure blood to the different

pumps blood forward from the left side of the heart through the aorta (the main artery leaving the heart) and into the arteries. The arteries divide off into smaller and smaller branches to supply a microscopic network of capillaries‚ taking the blood to every part of your body. The blood then travels back to the heart from the capillaries into the veins‚ back to the heart. The branches of the veins join to form larger veins‚ which deliver the blood back to the right side of your heart. [pic] As
