Document Summary

Oxygen transport and cardiorespiratory conditioning: explain some of the long-term benefits of following an aerobic exercise. Reduce occurrence of coronary heart disease (#1 killer) Increase cardiac output: what is the name of the blood vessel that enters the right atrium and carries. Aorta: differentiate between the pulmonary circulation and the systemic circulation. Pulmonary circulaion where deoxygenated blood is pumped from the heart through the lungs and oxygenated blood is returned back to the heart. Systemic circulaion where oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart around the rest of the body and deoxygenated blood is returned back to the heart: differentiate between arteries, capillaries, and veins. Arteries pump blood away from the heart. Capillaries small and provide oxygen to the needed organs: define the terms cardiac output and stroke volume . Cardiac output (q) the amount of blood pumped in one min by either the right/let ventricle of the heart.

Explain the flow of blood through the body by using the following terms: pulmonary circuit, systemic circuit, arteries, veins, capillaries, left ventricle and right ventricle, left atrium, right atrium, deoxygenated and oxygenated blood. What role do the heart valves have with the flow of blood through the heart?

Match the part of the human heart with its function

Right ventricle

Left atrium

Left ventricle

Aorta

Pulmonary artery

Vena

Pulmonary veins
A.

Receives blood from the vena cava, delivers blood to the right ventricle.
B.

Blood enters this chamber via the right atrioventricular valve, delivers oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.
C.

Receives oxygen rich blood from the lungs, delivers blood immediately through the left atrioventricular valve.
D.

Receives blood from the left atium, delivers blood to the body via the aorta.
E.

Largest artery in the body.
F.

Delivers blood to the lungs from the right ventricle.
G.

There are actually two of these veins, superior and inferior.
H.

These veins have the highest concentration of oxygen in them and deliver blood back to the heart from the lungs.

An important aspect of this qustion is relatively the need to understand the Cardiovascular System/Circulatory System, in order to answer the question. The main role of the cardiovascular system is to move blood through the body. The composition includes: Heart, capillaries, veins and arteries. The system moves oxygenated blood from the lungs and heart through the whole body via arteries. Blood also travels through the capillaries that are found between the arteries and veins. There are multiple diseases that affect the Cardiovascular System Angina, Arrhythmia, Congenital Heart Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Myocardial Infarction, CHF, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Mitral Regurgitation, Mitral Valve Prolapse, Pulmonary Stenosis, etc. In Addition there are Vascular Diseases: Peripheral Artery Disease, Aneurism, Atherosclerosis, Renal Artery Disease, Raynauds Disease, BuergerҀ™s Disease, Peripheral Venous Disease, Stroke, Venous Blood Clots, and Blood Clotting Disorders (American Heart Association, 2015). Multiple treatments exist for each and every one of these diseases, and hopefully more to come. American Heart Association. (2015). What is cardiovascular disease? Retrieved from http://www.heart.org.
