An important aspect of this qustion is relatively the need to understand the Cardiovascular System/Circulatory System, in order to answer the question. The main role of the cardiovascular system is to move blood through the body. The composition includes: Heart, capillaries, veins and arteries. The system moves oxygenated blood from the lungs and heart through the whole body via arteries. Blood also travels through the capillaries that are found between the arteries and veins. There are multiple diseases that affect the Cardiovascular System Angina, Arrhythmia, Congenital Heart Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Myocardial Infarction, CHF, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Mitral Regurgitation, Mitral Valve Prolapse, Pulmonary Stenosis, etc. In Addition there are Vascular Diseases: Peripheral Artery Disease, Aneurism, Atherosclerosis, Renal Artery Disease, Raynauds Disease, Buerger’s Disease, Peripheral Venous Disease, Stroke, Venous Blood Clots, and Blood Clotting Disorders (American Heart Association, 2015). Multiple treatments exist for each and every one of these diseases, and hopefully more to come. American Heart Association. (2015). What is cardiovascular disease? Retrieved from http://www.heart.org.

1. Which of the following is the correct sequence of bloodflow?

a. heart --> atery --> arteriole --> capillary -->vein --> venule --> heart

b. heart --> vein --> venule --> capillary -->arteriole --> artery --> heart

c. heart --> artery --> arteriole --> capillary -->venule --> vein --> heart

d. heart --> artery --> venule --> capillary -->arteriole --> vein --> heart

e. heart--> artery --> capillary --> arteriole -->venule --> vein --> heart

2. What are the functions of the elastic fibers that are foundin the walls of ateries? (there may be more than one answer)

Select one or more:

a. they allow the artery to stretch and then recoil back to itsoriginal shape as blood is forcegully pumped from the heart intothe arteries

b. they allow arteries to lengthen as the volume of blood in thearteries increase

c. they help maintain a steady blood pressure during thedifferent phases of heart contraction

d. they smooth out the walls of the arteries to preventturbulent blood flow

3. Which of the following are functions of the lymphatic system?(there may be more than one answer)

Select one or more:

a. help fight infections and cancer

b. allows excess interstitial fluid (fluid found between thecells in your tissues) to get dumped back into your blood

c. brings large molecules from fat digestion into thebloodstream so that they can be processed and stored

d. all of the above are functions of the lymphatic system

4. Which of the following blood vessels bring newly oxygenatedblood from the blood vessels in the lungs back to the heart so thatthe heart can pump it to the rest of the body?

Select one:

a. aorta

b. inferior vena cava

c. pulmonary vein

d. pulmonary artery

5. Which of the following mechanisms help blood fight gravity sothat, for instance, it can return from blood vessels in your feetback into your heart? (there may be more than one answer)

Select one or more:

a. breathing allows the pressure in your chest to decrease andallow blood to flow up towards your heart

b. as you walk, the skeletal muscles in your legs contract andsqueeze the veins; since veins have valves, blood flows up anddoesn't backflow back down

c. the force of blood flowing out of the heart and into thearteries pushes all of the blood along, causing blood to return tothe heart

d. precapillary sphincters open to allow blood to flow backtowards the heart

6. The tricuspid and bicuspid/mitral valves prevent backflow ofblood from the atria into the ventricles.

Select one:

True

False

7. The following sequence represents the correct order of bloodflow through the heart:

inferior and superior vena cava --> right atrium --> rightventricle --> pulmonary artery --> lungs --> pulmonaryvein --> left atrium --> left ventricle --> aorta

Select one:

True

False

8. Capillaries are as wide as one red blood cell.

Select one:

True

False

9. The purpose of the coronary arteries is to bring oxygenatedblood to the walls of the heart so that the muscles in the heartwalls can contract.

Select one:

True

False

10. Vasodilation refers to the narrowing of blood vessels.

Select one:

True

False

1. Explain what hypoparathyroidism is and the clinicalmanifestations (symptoms) of hypoparathyroidism. How ishypoparathyroidism diagnosed and treated?

2. Explain coronary artery disease (CAD), the rate of incidencein the US, and both controllable and noncontrollable risk factorsfor CAD.

Please explain so I can understand it. I do not need a copy andpaste from the textbook. Thank you
