Document Summary
Pulmonary circulation: deoxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs and oxygenated blood is returned to back to the heart. + shorter than systemic + works with right ventricle. Systemic circulation: carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Ventricular fibrillation: it(cid:859)s a heart rhythm problem that occurs when the heart beats with rapid, When the arterial pressure is less than the intracranial pressure, a reflex called the "cns ischemic response" is initiated by the hypothalamus in the brain. Baroreceptor reflex: the body"s homeostatic mechanisms that helps to maintain blood pressure at nearly constant levels. Thoracic cavity: above the diaphragm and it contains the heart and lungs. Dipolar ions: molecule with two or more functional groups, of which at least one has a positive and one has a negative electrical charge: the net charge is zero.
