Cardiovascular System Anatomy and Disease

Anatomy of the Heart and Blood Vessels

• The heart has different parts, including the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle.
• Each part of the heart has a specific function in the cardiovascular system.
• The right ventricle pumps oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body.

Functions of the Cardiovascular System

• The cardiovascular system transports oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells.
• It also removes waste products and carbon dioxide from the body's cells.

Cardiovascular Diseases

• Coronary artery disease is a common cardiovascular disease that can cause chest pain.
• Heart failure is a condition that can cause swelling in the legs and shortness of breath.
• Hypertension, stroke, and varicose veins are also common cardiovascular diseases.

Characteristics of Cardiovascular Diseases

• Coronary artery disease is often associated with chest pain.
• Heart failure is often associated with swelling in the legs and shortness of breath.
• Hypertension, stroke, and varicose veins have distinct symptoms and characteristics.
