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.
What are the two types of circulation of blood in the body?
Pulmonary and systemic
In A puncture of the dural sinus there is greater danger of blocking cardiac output because?
air embolism
Has a greater partial pressure in the pulmonary capillaries than in the alveoli so it diffuses into the?
C02:alveoli
What open and allow blood to flow into pulmonary trunk?
The pulmonic valve, a semilunar valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk, opens to allow blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. This valve opens when the pressure in the right ventricle is greater than the pressure in the pulmonary artery, allowing blood to be pumped from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
An additional or greater amount of something?
The answer is more!
Which structure(s) carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart?
The right ventricle pumps O2 poor blood into the lungs. The ventricular pressure has to be greater than that of the pulmonary artery to open the pulmonary valve and push the blood to the lungs.
How much air in syringe needed to kill a person when injected to his vein?
I hope that you are not planning to murder someone, and that you are asking this question only out of curiosity. Any visible bubble could potentially cause an embolism, although there is no guaranteee that any given embolism will be fatal. The more air you inject, the greater the chance of fatality.
what is greater 0.15 or 0.155?
0.155 is greater than 0.15. When comparing the two numbers, 0.155 has an additional digit in the hundredths place, making it larger. Therefore, 0.155 is the greater value.
Is greater 4.7 or 4.75?
4.75 is greater than 4.7. In decimal terms, 4.75 has an additional hundredth, making it a larger value than 4.7. Therefore, 4.75 is the greater number.
What is greater 0.4 or 0.439?
0.439 is greater than 0.4. When comparing the two numbers, 0.439 has an additional digit in the thousandths place, making it larger. Therefore, 0.439 is the greater value.
Is o2 concentration greater in the pulmonary capillaries or alveoli?
In the alveoli
