CIRCULATION
• 2 CONNECTIONS:
• 1. SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION- provides ORGANS and TISSUES and
cells with BLOOD,- oxygen and other vital substances.
• 2.PULMONARY CIRCULATION – where FRESH OXYGEN we
breathe enters the BLOOD, then CO2 is released from the blood.
• WHEN THE HEART NO LONGER PUMPS, BLOOD AS WELL AS IT

ABDOMEN AND LOWER LIMBS

ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND
ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
• Arteriosclerosis refers to stiff and hard artery walls, which may lead to increased blood
pressure. Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis involving plaque buildup within
the arteries. But that’s not the only difference.
• Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from your heart and to vital
organs.
• Atherosclerosis happens when these arteries become narrow due to a
buildup of plaque. This can make it difficult for oxygen to reach your organs.

• Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The plaque buildup in


atherosclerosis makes the arteries thick and stiff.
