Depening on the severity of the defect, the person will have right ventricular hypertrophy (right ventricle of heart is enlarged) and have problems with all parts of the body getting enough oxygen. This can cause them to be cyanotic (turn blue) and experience fainting during exercise. With this type of defect, the body is not getting the normal amount of oxygen that it normally would and the effect of this is usually noticed during exercise.
How do you get vains in your arms?
The circulatory system is made up of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the deepest, except at the neck and groin. Veins are less deep and in some places can rise along the skin's surface, such as in the crook of the elbow and the backs of hands. Capillaries extend to the skin but are small so are mostly not noticeable. The same person can have arm veins that are deeper or more superficial when looking at both arms.
What is meant by 'abdominal aorta is not of normal calibre'?
Means that the aorta, the body's biggest blood vessel isn't the size - the caliber - it's expected to be for the part of the aorta that runs in the abdomen - the stomach.

How does respiratory system help the body maintain homeostasis?
The respiratory system is the group of tissues and organs in the body that enables the body to breathe. This system includes airways, lungs and the blood vessels and muscles attached to them that work together so the body can breathe. The respiratory system's primary function is to supply oxygen to all the parts of the body.
What is the circulatory systems function?
The circulatory system includes the heart, blood, and blood vessels. It is responsible for keeping the body alive and functioning properly.
How do you resive oxygen and remove carbon dioxide?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are moved to and from body tissues via the circulatory system. These materials diffuse through the cell membrane, and then diffuse through the capillary wall into or out of the bloodstream.
How does circulatory system help maintain homeostasis in mammals and birds?
regulates temperature - if you are cold, it constricts your blood vessels so that you lose less heat. If you are hot, it allows your blood vessels to dilate, letting out heat
How can a person's lifestyle affect the performance of the respiratory and circulatory systems?
Smoking, lack of exercise, lack of attention to asthma, and exposure to irritants such as dust can all affect the performance of the respiratory and circulatory systems.
What oxygen pushes blood through your body?

Which section of the heart receives blood from the right coronary artery?
The right atrium and ventricle receives blood from the right coronary artery. This blood supply is specific to the heart and is received from the coronary arteries.
What do the respiratory and the circulatory systems do together?
Working together, the respiratory and circulatory systems perform gas exchange from the blood to the lungs. This exchange occurs at the alveoli.
How do the digestive and circulatory system work?
They work together to deliver nutrients to the cells of the body.
Which system of comunication developed from ARPANET?
The Internet is the system of communication that developed from ARPANET. The internet is its civilian counterpart.
The importance of the lungs in the circulatory system is that they are responsible for?
adding oxygen
What two features of the circulatory system may produce high blood pressure?
Two features of the cirulatory sytem that might produce high blood pressure are heart rate and artery size. If your hert is beating fast, it will push blood rapidly through the arteries, building up blood pressure. If your artery size are small, then the narrow or partly clogged arteries produce high blood pressure. A third option would be artery elasticity. If you artery looses their elasticity and becomes hard, it may also produce high blood pressure as well.
Hope that answers your question!! ;)
Which diagnostic test measures the amount of oxygenated blood in the circulatory system?
Pulse oximeter
