An Introduction to the Cardiovascular System Thecardiovascular systemcan be thought of as the transport system of the body. This system has three main components: theheart, theblood vesseland the blood itself. The heart is the system’s pump and the blood vessels are like the delivery routes. ...
What is the primary function of the cardiovascular system (heart, blood, and blood vessels)? What are the major components of the cardiovascular system? What are the three main functions of the circulatory system? What is the primary function of the circulatory system in humans?
Reflex control of the cardiovascular system mainly involves baroreceptors, afferents to the central nervous system, cardiovascular centers, and sympathetic and parasympathetic efferents to the heart and vasculature. The potentialization of baroreflexes is done via central action, activating V1-receptors in...

cholesterol levels and thus exert a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. (ClinicalTrials.-gov identifier: NCT00502047).222High methylation levels of the ABCA1 have been found to be associated with coronary heart disease and aging. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment can decrease ABCA1 ...
The main active components of included stilbeneglycoside, anthraquinone, polyose, etc. These components had strong anti-atherosclerosis effect, so it is the valuable traditional Chinese medicine to study and develop for preventing and treating atherosclerosis. Recent studies showed that the anti-...
With this objective, we examined the association between metal mixtures and cardiovascular health outcomes in U.S. adults. Heavy metals are widespread, and notable for their toxic effects even at low levels of exposure encountered in the general environment. The cardiovascular system is a main targe...
16 The main outcomes in analyses of this study were death from cardiovascular disease (I00-I25, I27-I88, and I95-I99), its main components including ischemic heart disease death (I20-I25), stroke death (I60-I61 and I63-I64), other cardiovascular death, and all-cause mortality. ...
Perhaps the main advantage of Rasch analysis is its ability to put psychological constructs such as depression or distress, on a mathematical ruler analogous to how we would measure height or weight for example [34]. Unlike EFA which is more concerned with model fit, the Rasch model accounts ...
Two main features of diabetic hearts with regard to the functional decline include- reduced Ca2+sensing ability of the regulatory proteins of the actomyosin system and myosin isoform shift [67]. The decline or lack of MHC was associated with decline in functional efficiency [67,138]. Some of ...
