Essays on Blood Vessel

The poster provides detailed information of the two kinds of stroke i.e. Ischemic and hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs as a result of blood vessels weakening and eventually bursting while ischemia occurs when a blood vessel gets clogged. The Ischemic stroke will occur when the blood vessel becomes quite narrow as a result of fat deposition. The narrowing of the vessel makes it difficult for blood to flow freely to the brains. Normally, Ischemic attacks are temporary and minor. However, in extreme cases, they cause major strokes that may leave the client hospitalized or even dead (Alway& Cole, 2009). There ...

The human body and the way in which it operates is a wonder in itself, but there are many more wondrous systems which keep this body going in the way that it does. One such system is the circulatory system which is exclusively responsible for the distribution of blood towards all of the organs scattered within the body. There are many organs and a scattered network of blood vessels which all come together to get this system up and running, and any hitch in any one of these individual blood carriers could become tedious and sometimes even chronic for ...

Abstract

Hemophilia is a genetic condition that is traceable in generations. The disease is usually linked to the excessive bleeding of the patient at a point where the blood vessel is damaged. A lot of research on the disease has been carried out trying to define the origin of the disease and offer extensive support to the solution of the condition. Over time, the disease has attracted extensive attention as the cases of the disease increase. It has not been easy to control the disease since the condition has been overwhelmingly disturbing to the patients as well as the family ...

Lupus

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus simply known as Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disorder. It is a disease of challenging nature due to its unknown etiology. Also, it can affect people of all ages and may affect any organ or system of the body. It is characterized by flares and remissions. The etiology of SLE include both genetic and environmental components with female sex more susceptible. Environmental factors of SLE are the following: Ultraviolet light, demethylating drugs and infectious or endogenous viruses or viral like elements (Bertsias, Cervera, & Boumpas, 2012). SLE involves the humoral and cellular aspects of the innate and ...

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the bruising of the brain due to an impact received on the head. The brain injury can be termed as primary if its caused directly by the impact blow or secondary if its caused by reaction processes such as swelling due to inflammation. Common types TBI include hematomas, contusions, diffuse axonal injury (DAI), concussion, and coup/contrecoup lesions. The type of injuries are characterized by symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, amnesia, loss of consciousness, going into a vegetative state or a coma or death in extreme cases. There is no clearly defined body of knowledge ...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stroke is the fifth leading illness that causes death in the United States. It is described as one of the primary causes of adult disability (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Approximately 800,000 people in the U.S alone suffer from a stroke annually. This figure translates to one American dying after every four minutes (Caplan 19). Owing to the serious prevalence the disease represents, the illness has received requisite attention regarding prevention and treatment techniques in an attempt to reduce its incidence. As a result of its quick ...

Health abnormlities of several kind require a thorough assessment in terms of management. With the technical advancements, medical field had evolved to simplify the complex assesssment tasks. For instance, medical imaging has come up to make feasible the analyis of body parts through the production of images. There is a need to know much about this particualr area. In such context, the present description deals with a topic Magentic Resonance Angiography (MRA) of the remal artery with a special emphasis on the 3D gradient echo sequencing in MRI. Briefly, magnetic resoannce angiography constitutes a kind of MRI (magnetic resonance ...

Circulatory and respiratory Systems: An anatomical and physiological analysis

Circulatory and respiratory systems form the most important organ systems in any animal as they are both responsible for transporting the life sustaining element of oxygen to every cell and tissue in the body, while also collecting the wastes and disposing of them through various organs. However, the anatomy and the physiology of these systems differ radically in each classification of animals, in effect throwing light on the various stages of evolution in different types of animals. In this paper we shall discuss the circulatory and respiratory systems in four animals with regards to their anatomy and physiology so ...
