Spleen, Splenic vein, hepatic portal vein, LIVER, hepatic sinusoids, hepatic veins, inferior vena cava, HEART (right atrium, tricuspic valve, right ventricle, semilunar or pulmonary valve, pulmonary arteries, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, bicuspid or mitral valve, left ventricle, semilunar/aortic valve, aorta, brachiocephalic artery, right subclavian artery, right axillary artery, right brachial artery, then either right ulnar or radial artery to the hand
It is a small organ on the left hand side of your abdomen ("patient's left", so to anyone looking at you it would be the right hand side), just under the lower edge of your ribs. The spleen is responsible for removing old platelets from your blood, creating cells that aid tissue healing, mopping up some bacterias that you're already immune to, and also helps create and store red blood cells. To clarify, it is not the same as your gallbladder (this seems to be a common misconception).Your spleen is the part of your body that stores extra blood.
Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body and returns oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. Pulmonary circulation, on the other hand, is the circulation of blood between the heart and lungs, where blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Systemic circulation follows pulmonary circulation in the blood flow cycle.
Blood vessel radius has a larger effect on the body because changes in radius significantly impact blood flow resistance, which affects blood pressure regulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Vessel length, on the other hand, has a smaller direct effect on blood flow resistance and overall cardiovascular function.
Putting your hand to sleep intentionally by cutting off blood flow can be harmful and may result in nerve damage or other complications. It is best to avoid doing this and prioritize your health and well-being.
Blood from the heart is pumped through the aorta, then into the subclavian artery which branches into the brachial artery. From the brachial artery, blood flows into the radial and ulnar arteries in the forearm, finally reaching the hand through smaller arteries and arterioles.
It is possible for blood clots to obstruct blood flow. It's not likely that all of the blood flow to your hand could be blocked, though.
It is most likely that your symptom is caused by a significantly decreased blood flow to your right hand - you should seek professional medical attention immediately.
The oxygen rich blood is usually pumped out of the heart from the left side. It is then pumped to the various parts of the body.
No, applying ice causes vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the area. Ice helps to decrease inflammation and swelling by restricting blood flow. Heat, on the other hand, can increase blood flow and promote healing in some situations.
The difference of color is because of blood. When you lower your hand, more blood will flow into it from gravity. When your hand is above your head, blood flows back into your body.
Blood flow begins in the right atrium, where deoxygenated blood is pumped into the right ventricle and then into the pulmonary artery to the lungs for oxygenation. Once oxygenated, blood returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins, moves into the left ventricle, and is then pumped into the aorta. From the aorta, blood travels through the subclavian artery, the brachial artery, and into the radial or ulnar arteries to reach the hand, specifically the arteries supplying the fifth digit. After delivering oxygen, deoxygenated blood returns through the digital veins, the radial or ulnar veins, the brachial vein, and back to the heart via the superior vena cava into the right atrium.
To balance the flow of blood.
yes they are there bite stops blood flow to the hand
If we consider where the blood flows in/out of the heart, this question becomes relatively easy. Blood flows through the inferior and superior vena cava and into the right atrium. From here, the right atrium acts as a primer and then flows into the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve. From the right ventricle, blood is pushed out through the pulmonary valves and into the pulmonary arteries. Note that the blood that is received and hence pumped out on the right hand side of the heart is deoxygenated. From here, the blood will flow into the lungs where it sill be oxygenated. These are the major characteristics of the RIGHT hand side of the heart.Essentially, the left hand side of the heart is the same as the right. Oxygenated Blood will flow in through the pulmonary veins and into the left atrium, which will then flow via the mitral/bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. A notable difference here is that if we consider where the left hand side of the heart must pump out to (the systemic circulation, i.e. the rest of the body), it will require more force, therefore the myocardium of the left hand side of the heart is noticable thicker and stronger than the right hand side, which must only reach the lungs.) The blood will be pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta via the aortic valve.So, as noted above the major differences in the left and right hand side of the heart are in bold - however, there are also a few more noticable features, which i will sum up in dot points below:The right hand side of the heart receives blood from the rest of the body and therefore the pressure in the right hand side of the heart will be close to 0 mmHg. However, with the left hand side of the heart, the ventricle does significant work to accelarate and force the blood out, pushing the pressure to around 120 mmHg.Finally, the Sinoatrial node (where the electric impulse of the heart begins) is located on the right hand side of the heart, just where the superior vena cava articulates with the right atrium.These last two dot points are slightly more noticable differences between the sides of the heart. Hope this is comprehensive enough :)
Your spleen is on your left hand side.
You're going to lose your hand if you don't get the clot taken care of. It will stop blood flow to your hand and it will have to be amputated.
