Regular Physical Activity High In Fat
820 wordsA heart attack occurs when the blood supply to a portion of the heart muscle is severely reduced or stopped. This happens when one of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle is blocked by an obstruction. This blockage can be due to a condition called atherosclerosis (a build up of fatty like substance along the wall of the artery), a blood clot or a coronary vessel spasm along with a total obstruction. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart stops, that area of the heart will no...

Coronary Artery Disease High Blood Pressure
2,644 wordsAneurysm-This term refers to a localized dilation of an artery or chamber of the heart. The behavior and prognosis for aneurysms varies, depending on their size and location. Aneurysms of the heart are usually the result of a prior heart attack. They generally don't require surgical resection. They may result in congestive heart failure and arrhythmias. Aneurysms of the main artery of the body, the aorta, generally require resection once they reach a certain size-anywhere from 4. 5 to 6. 0 centi...

When the right ventricle beats or contracts, the blood flows through the pulmonary valve and into the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart, pooling in the left atrium. The mitral valve allows the blood to pass from the left atrium to the left ventricle. When the left ventricle contracts the blood travels through the aortic valve into the aortic arch for distribution throughout the body. (Cardiac, Hea...

Vena Cava Blood Vessels
1,407 wordsThe Circulatory System The circulatory system in anatomy and physiology is the course taken by the blood through the arteries, capillaries, and veins and back to the heart. In humans and the higher vertebrates, the heart is made up of four chambers the right and left auricles, or atria, and the right and left ventricles. The right side of the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood from the cells of the body back to the lungs for new oxygen; the left side of the heart receives blood rich in oxygen from th...

Pulmonary Artery Vena Cava
1,945 wordsHeartthe human heart is a specialized, four-chambered muscle that maintains BLOOD flow in the CIRCULATORYSYSTEM. Located in the thorax, it lies left of the bodys midline, above and in contact with the diaphragm. It is situated immediately behind the breastbone, or sternum, and between the lungs, with its apex tilted to the body cavity's left side. In most people the apex can be felt during each heart contraction. At rest, the heart pumps about 59 cc (2 oz) of blood per beat and 5 l (5 qt) per mi...

Coronary Artery Disease Beats Per Minute
2,046 wordsThe Normal Cardiac Cycle During each heartbeat, the two upper chambers (right and left atria) contract, followed by contraction of the two lower pumping chambers (right and left ventricles). This action is coordinated by the hearts electrical system. Normal electrical activation of the heart occurs in an orderly fashion. With each beat, the electrical impulse starts in the sinus (or sino atrial) node (in the right atrium). The impulse spreads through the atria, stimulating the atria to contract....
