    The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The term cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio-) and blood vessels (vascular). The term circulatory refers to the circulation of the blood. The heart is a muscular pump and its regular contractions send 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. Vessels carrying oxygenated blood (usually arteries) are shown in red and those carrying deoxygenated blood (usually veins) are blue.…

    Cardiovascular Dynamics and the Cardiovascular Physiology experiments both have multiple goals. The first experiment aims to understand how blood flow, pressure gradient, and resistance relate to one another. To understand this, resistance and contributing factors, such as vessel radius, viscosity, and vessel length must be studied. The effects of vessel radius and stroke volume on the ventricular pump should also examined. The experiment also calls for an understanding of cardiovascular compensation. Pump mechanics are further understood through a design of further experiments. The Cardiovascular Physiology experiment attempts to understand the effects of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems on the heart, through vagus nerve stimulation. Refractory periods and relative refractory periods will be studied in direct stimulations of the heart, as well as the five phases of the cardiac cycle. Lastly, the effects of temperature, hormones, and ions will be understood. Epinephrine, pilocarpine, atropine and digitalis are the hormones used to modify the heart. Sodium, potassium and calcium are the ions used in this experiment.…

    The cardiovascular system is consists of the heart and network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that transport blood throughout the body. There are two primary circulatory loops in the human body: the pulmonary circulation loop and the systemic circulation loop. The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a closed fist that functions as the body’s circulatory pump. It takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries. The condition marked by the heart’s inability to pump enough blood to the rest of the body is called a heart failure, although it is generally long term or chronic, it may have a sudden onset. In the case study presented here the client complains: “I have shortness of breath, fatigue, cough, and swelling in feet”.…
