Circulatory System
Carries blood back to the heart from the extremities and organs of the body
Veins.
This common type of arrhythmia involves rapid, irregular beating of the atria and can increase the risk of stroke.
Atrial Fibrillation.
A thrombus that breaks free and travels through the bloodstream until it lodges in a distant vessel, often in the lungs, is known by this term.
Embolus (or Embolism).
One of the first and easiest ways to tell you’re dehydrated is by checking this — it should be light yellow, not dark.
Urine Color.
These small, bean-shaped structures act as filters for harmful substances, trapping bacteria and viruses as lymph passes through them.
Lymph Nodes.
A heart that beats faster than 100 beats per minute is said to have this type of arrhythmia.
Tachycardia.
Often called the “silent killer,” this condition involves chronically elevated arterial pressure that strains the heart and damages blood vessels over time.
Hypertension.
Dizziness, headache, and muscle cramps are common warning signs of this level of dehydration.
Mild to Moderate Dehydration
This type of circulation carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart, while its counterpart carries blood between the heart and lungs to exchange gases.
Systemic & Pulmonary Circulation.
These fibers spread the electrical impulse throughout the ventricular walls, causing them to contract.
Purkinje Fibers.
Caused by a buildup of plaque within arterial walls, this disease restricts blood flow to the myocardium and can lead to angina or myocardial infarction.
Coronary Artery Disease
Extreme thirst, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, dry skin, confusion, and little to no urination are key warning signs of this severe condition that occurs when the body loses too much water and electrolytes.
Severe Dehydration.
This liquid tissue is made up of four key parts — one is mostly water and nutrients, one carries oxygen, one fights infection, and one helps your blood clot.
Plasma, Red blood cells, White blood cells, and Platelets.
The AV node sends the electrical signal down this structure, which divides into right and left branches to reach the ventricles.
Bundle of His.
When the heart cannot pump effectively, blood backs up into the lungs or body tissues, often causing shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs.
Congestive Heart Failure.
This layer of the heart wall is composed of cardiac muscle tissue responsible for the forceful contractions that pump blood through both the systemic and pulmonary circuits.
Myocardium
Together, the SA node, AV node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers form this system that coordinates the heart’s electrical activity.
