Coronary Artery Disease

Introduction Coronary artery disease is plaque buildup that gets accumulated in the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. Plaque causes a blockage or constriction in the arteries, leading to a heart attack. Chest pain or discomfort and shortness of breath are some of the most common symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Bleeding Disorders

The term common symptoms of bleeding disorders refer to a collection of problems when the blood fails to clot correctly. Platelets, a kind of blood cell, adhere together and form a plug at the site of a broken blood artery in normal clotting. Clotting factors interact with platelets in the blood to produce a fibrin clot, which

Commisures

A structure that forms a junction or bridge between two anatomical areas, especially in the two cerebral hemispheres or the halves of the spinal cord, is called commissures. It is located in various anatomical regions of the human body.  Commissural neurons are the neuronal cells that can grow their axons all through the midline of

Coagulation of Blood

Introduction The process of clotting of blood is known as coagulation of blood. Coagulation is the transformation of blood from a liquid to a gel that results in the formation of a blood clot. Coagulation is a crucial and complex procedure that permits blood to plug and mend wounds.  Coagulation can lead to haemostasis, or

Circulatory Organs

The circulatory system, alternatively referred to as the cardiovascular system, comprises the heart and blood arteries. It is responsible for transporting oxygen and other nutrients to all of your body’s organs and tissues. Additionally, it is capable of removing carbon dioxide and other waste products. A healthy circulatory system is critical for your overall health

Circulatory Fluids

Most animals use the circulatory system to move blood around the body. Water, nutrients, and gases are diffused in certain primitive species. However, complex organisms rely on the circulatory system to transfer gases, nutrients, and waste. Open (where blood mixes with interstitial fluid) or closed circulatory systems (separated from the interstitial fluid). Although all animals
