Question
Chapter 18, Problem 15RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
1. The differences between the circulatory system and the cardiovascular system.
2. The differences between complete blood count and complete blood count with differential.
Introduction:
Various tissues of the body need proper supply of oxygen which is accomplished by the fluid connective tissue termed as blood. A special protein called hemoglobin in the blood serves as the carrier of oxygen and transports oxygen from the heart to various tissues of the body. The oxygenated blood flows through blood vessels called arteries.

- The exact cause of blood clotting in the left atrium of the heart during atrial fibrillation (AF) is not known. In part it might be due to blood stasis (not moving) or it may result in combination with endothelial cells damage. (A) What are the potential mechanisms that might drive clotting and what markers might you look for in the blood to predict potential risk? (B) Other than treating the arrhythmia, what other pharmacological intervention might be provided to AF sufferers?arrow_forwardSystemic blood pressure is defined as the ratio of two pressures—systolic and diastolic—both expressed in millimeters of mercury. Normal blood pressure is about 120mm/80mm which is usually just stated as 120/80. What would normal systemic blood pressure be if, instead of millimeters of mercury, we expressed pressure in each of the following units, but continued to use the same ratio format?
