nova net right its pulmonary embolism
Dissecting aneurysm and vena cava compression are obstructions which may cause this type of shock syndrome another common example is?
pulmonary embolism
4 blood vessels in the heart?
# Aorta # pulmonary artery # pulmonary vein # infereior vena cava # superiorvena cava
What is the difference between cor pulmonale and pulmonary embolism?
A pulmonary embolism is a tissue fragment (part of a blood clot, fat, amniotic fluid, part of a tumour or bullet fragment) that became loose in the blood stream and was carried by the blood stream to a different location. A pulmonary embolism is, in most cases, a thromboembolism (part of a blood clot), which is carried from the deep veins of the legs or the pevis. It travels up the blood stream, through the inferior vena cava, into the heart, and subsequently into the pulmonary artery. In the pulmonary artery, it arrests, forming a potentially life threating occlusion. Cor pulmonale is hypertrophy of the right ventricle due to chronic pulmonary hypertension. The pulmonay hypertension means that the right ventricle has to pump blood with greater force, causing its muscle to hypertrophy (enlarge in size). Therefore, to summarize, a pulmonary embolism is an obstruction of pulmonary blood flow while cor pulmonale is the morphological change of the right ventricle due to pulmonary hypertension.
The main blood vessels?
The pulmonary artery, the pulmonary vein, the aorta and the vena cava.
How does the texture of the pulmonary artery compare to the vena cava leading to the right atrium?
The vena cava is purple while the pulmonary artery is blue/green. hope this helps!
Who requires a vena cava filter?
Insertion of a vena cava filter is indicated for patients who:
What is the nearest veins to the heart?
Inferior Vena Cava, Superior Vena Cava, Pulmonary veins (left and right)
What is caval-pulmonary artery anastomosis?
a surgical procedure that joins the superior vena cava and the pulmonary artery
Do the pulmonary veins have valve?
Vena Cava has valves, if im not wrong, but pulmonary veins definitely do not have valves.
Name all the veins that carry blood to the heart?
pulmonary, inferior vena cava, coronary, superior vena cava
What is the order for superior vena cava right ventricle left ventricle right atrium left atrium pulmonary vein pulmonary artery and aorta?
Vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, bicuspid valve, left ventricle, aortic semilunar valve, aorta.
