DISORDERS OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

DISORDERS OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension):

Hypertension is the term for blood pressure that is higher than normal (120/80).

In this measurement 120 mm Hg (millimetres of mercury pressure) is the systolic, or pumping, pressure and 80 mm Hg is the diastolic, or resting, pressure.

If repeated checks of blood pressure of an individual is 140/90 (140 over 90) or Schematic plan of blood circulation in human higher, it shows hypertension.

High blood pressure leads to heart diseases and also affects vital organs like brain and kidney.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):

Coronary Artery Disease, often referred to as atherosclerosis, affects the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle.

It is caused by deposits of calcium, fat, cholesterol and fibrous tissues, which makes the lumen of arteries narrower.

Angina:

It is also called ‘angina pectoris’.

A symptom of acute chest pain appears when no enough oxygen is reaching the heart muscle.

Angina can occur in men and women of any age but it is more common among the middle-aged and elderly.

It occurs due to conditions that affect the blood flow.

Heart Failure:

Heart failure means the state of heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body.

It is sometimes called congestive heart failure because congestion of the lungs is one of the main symptoms of this disease.

Heart failure is not the same as cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) or a heart attack (when the heart muscle is suddenly damaged by an inadequate blood supply).

HUMAN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

😎 Human Circulatory System 😎 Human circulatory framework, additionally called the blood vascular framework comprises of a strong chambered heart, an organization of shut fanning veins and blood, the liquid which is circled. Heart, the mesodermal determined organ, is arranged in the thoracic hole, in the middle of the two lungs, marginally inclined to one side. It has the size of a held clench hand. It is ensured by a twofold walled membranous sack, pericardium, encasing the pericardial liquid. Our heart has four chambers, two moderately little upper chambers called atria and two bigger lower chambers called ventricles. A slight, solid divider called the interatrial septum isolates the privilege and the left atria, while a thick-walled, the between ventricular septum, isolates the left and the correct ventricles. The chamber and the ventricle of a similar side are likewise isolated by a thick stringy tissue called the atrio-ventricular septum. Notwithstand...

RADIOACTIVE WASTES

RADIOACTIVE WASTES Initially, nuclear energy was hailed as a non-polluting way for generating electricity. Later on, it was realised that the use of nuclear energy has two very serious inherent problems. The first is accidental leakage, as occurred in the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl incidents and the second is safe disposal of radioactive wastes. Radiation, that is given off by nuclear waste is extremely damaging to biological organisms, because it causes mutations to occur at a very high rate. At high doses, nuclear radiation is lethal but at lower doses, it creates various disorders, the most frequent of all being cancer. Therefore, nuclear waste is an extremely potent pollutant and has to be dealt with utmost caution. It has been recommended that storage of nuclear waste, after sufficient pre-treatment, should be done in suitably shielded containers buried within the rocks, about 500 m deep below the earth’s surface. However,...

RESPIRATORY ORGANS

😀RESPIRATORY ORGANS 😀 👉This cycle of change of O2 from the weather with CO2 introduced via way of means of the telephones is referred to as breathing, commonly referred to as breath . 👉 Uncommon vascularised systems referred to as gills ( branchial breath ) are used by the bulk of the amphibian arthropods and molluscs though vascularised sacks referred to as lungs (aspiratory breath) are used by the earthly systems for the buying and selling of gases. 👉 Among vertebrates, fishes use gills whilst creatures of land and water, reptiles, winged animals and heat blooded creatures breathe thru lungs. 👉 Creatures of land and water like frogs can breathe thru their soggy skin ( cutaneous breath ) moreover. Human Respiratory System We have more than one outer nostrils establishing out over the higher lips. It activates a nasal chamber thru the nasal phase. The nasal chamber opens into the pharynx , a section of that is the primary access for meals and air....
