Question
Chapter 33.2, Problem 1CSC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The structure of normal heart muscle and its contractions that coordinated to circulate blood effectively.
Introduction:
Heart is a muscular organ present in most of the organism. Heart serves as the pump to circulate the blood. The heart has four chambers. The cardiac muscles are of two types’ myocardial contractile cells and myocardial conducting cells.

Tia developed Rheumatic heart disease when she was 19 years old that caused stenosis of her mitral valve. Long-standing mitral stenosis led to left atrial enlargement. She is 29 now and her cardiologist, Dr. Irma Wu, advised her replacement of the mitral valve. According to her doctor, after the valve replacement, she would require life-long blood thinners.
Using your knowledge of physiology, explain how can clot formation be prevented prophylactically?
Knowing ECG. Do you think you can predict atrial enlargement from ECG? Why or why not? Support your answer with reasoning.
Several years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.
VSD, or ventricular septal defect, is a condition that accounts for half of all congenital cardiovascular anomalies. In this condition, a hole exists in the septum, the muscular wall between the ventricles, which allows blood from the right and left side of the heart to mix. What sort of problems might this condition cause?

Conclusion:arrow_forwardThe mother of a three-month-old infant was concerned because her child had little energy and did not seem to be thriving. You examine the child and suspect the presence of a congenital cardiac defect, most likely a patent ductus arteriosus. What other symptoms would accompany this diagnosis?

- The aorta is the principal blood vessel through which blood leaves the heart in order to circulate around the body. (a) Calculate the average speed of the blood in the aorta if the flow rate is 5.0 L/min. The aorta has a radius of 10 mm. (b) Blood also flows through smaller blood vessels known as capillaries. When the rate of blood flow in the aorta is 5.0 L/min, the speed of blood in the capillaries is about 0.33 mm/s. Given that the average diameter of a capillary is 8.0 μm (1 μm = 1 X 10 –6 m), calculate the number of capillaries in the blood circulatory system.arrow_forwardYour grandfather was told that his SA node (pacemaker) has stopped functioning.
