Cardiovascular System

Blood Vessels

• Arteries transport blood away from the heart, featuring thick, elastic walls to endure high pressure and branching into smaller arterioles.
• Capillaries are microscopic vessels connecting arterioles and venules. Their thin walls facilitate gas, nutrient, and waste exchange.
• Veins carry blood back to the heart, characterized by thinner, less elastic walls compared to arteries. Valves prevent backflow, and venules merge into larger veins.

Blood Circulation

• Systemic Circulation: Transports oxygenated blood from the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood to the heart.
• Pulmonary Circulation: Transports deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood to the heart.

Heart Anatomy

• Atria (right and left): The heart's receiving chambers.
• Ventricles (right and left): The pumping chambers of the heart.
• Atrioventricular valves prevent backflow into the atria and include the tricuspid (right side) and mitral/bicuspid (left side) valves
• Semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles and include the pulmonary and aortic valves
• Aorta: The main artery carrying blood from the left ventricle.
• Pulmonary artery: Carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
• Pulmonary veins: Carry blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
• Vena cava: The main vein carrying blood to the right atrium.

Cardiac Cycle

• Systole: The contraction phase where the heart pumps blood.
• Diastole: The relaxation phase when the heart fills with blood.

Electrical Conduction

• Sinoatrial (SA) node: Initiates electrical impulse like a pacemaker.
• Atrioventricular (AV) node: Delays the impulse, allowing atria to contract.
• Bundle of His: Transmits the impulse to the ventricles.
• Purkinje fibers: Distribute the impulse throughout the ventricles.

Functions

• Transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and immune cells, removes waste products like carbon dioxide, regulates body temperature, and maintains fluid balance.

Common Disorders

• Hypertension: Denotes high blood pressure.
• Atherosclerosis: Characterized by plaque buildup in arteries.
• Heart failure: Inability to pump sufficient blood.
• Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats.
• Coronary artery disease: reduced blood flow to heart.

Research Note: Chat Window Customization

CSS Overrides

• Customize the chat window's appearance by overriding CSS styles.
• Identify the CSS classes to change using browser developer tools.
• Create a CSS file with custom styles.
• Link the CSS file in the `` section of the HTML page.
• Example: Change background color using .chat-window { background-color: #f0f0f0; }.

Themes

• Themes provide an overall customization of the chat window's look and feel via CSS rules.
• Find a suitable theme online.
• Add a link to the theme's CSS file in the `` section of the HTML page.
• Example: ``.

Custom Templates

• Gain more control over appearance by creating custom templates, which are HTML files defining the structure of the chat window.
• Create HTML files for the chat window.
• Configure the chart window to use these custom templates.
• Refer to documentation for details on creating and using custom templates.
