Fig 1a shows the cardiovascular system. Fundamentally, the cardiovascular system is made up of:
Heart
- Maintains blood pressure and flow to vital organs
Peripheral vasculature
- Maintains blood pressure to allow flow of blood and so oxygen to vital organs
- Homeostasis of systemic vascular resistance minimizes workload of heart and allows efficient blood flow
Question: What are some possible cardiovascular system problems?
