VEINS and ARTERIES 💉💊💊⚕️🏥

-

 The human body has thousands of veins, making up a vast network that carries blood back to the heart. It's challenging to provide an exact number because the total count can vary among individuals.


Arteries:

  1. Aorta
  2. Coronary arteries
  3. Carotid arteries
  4. Brachial arteries
  5. Radial arteries
  6. Ulnar arteries
  7. Femoral arteries
  8. Popliteal arteries
  9. Tibial arteries
  10. Pulmonary arteries

  11. Veins:

    1. Superior vena cava
    2. Inferior vena cava
    3. Jugular veins
    4. Subclavian veins
    5. Brachiocephalic veins
    6. Pulmonary veins
    7. Hepatic veins
    8. Renal veins
    9. Iliac veins
    10. Femoral veins

    11. Arteries:

      1. Aorta: The largest artery in the body, originating from the heart and distributing oxygenated blood to the systemic circulation.
      2. Coronary Arteries: Arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle.
      3. Carotid Arteries: Major arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain, neck, and face.
      4. Brachial Arteries: Arteries in the upper arm, extending from the shoulder to the elbow.
      5. Radial Arteries: Arteries in the forearm, supplying blood to the hand and fingers.
        1. Ulnar Arteries: Arteries in the forearm, running parallel to the ulna and supplying blood to the hand.
        2. Femoral Arteries: Arteries in the thigh, supplying blood to the leg.
        3. Popliteal Arteries: Arteries located behind the knee.
        4. Tibial Arteries: Arteries in the lower leg, supplying blood to the foot.
        5. Pulmonary Arteries: Arteries carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.

          6. Veins:

          Superior Vena Cava: A large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body back to the heart.

          Inferior Vena Cava: A large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body back to the heart.

          1. Jugular Veins: Veins in the neck that return blood from the head.
          2. Subclavian Veins: Veins that receive blood from the arms.
          3. Brachiocephalic Veins: Veins formed by the merger of the subclavian and jugular veins.
          4. Pulmonary Veins: Veins carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
          5. Hepatic Veins: Veins draining the liver and returning blood to the inferior vena cava.
          6. Renal Veins: Veins carrying blood away from the kidneys.
          7. Iliac Veins: Veins in the pelvic region, draining blood from the lower limbs.
          8. Femoral Veins: Veins in the thigh, receiving blood from the lower leg.

Use a circular motion, covering the entire breast and armpit area. Repeat on the other side. Check Your Breasts Sitting Up: Use the same circular motion while sitting up. Feel for Lumps: Use varying pressure levels to feel for any lumps or abnormalities. Pay attention to any changes in texture or the presence of lumps. Check Nipples: Look for any changes in the nipples, such as discharge or inversion. Introduction: Breast examination plays a crucial role in early detection of breast abnormalities, including cancer. Empowering women with the knowledge and skills to perform regular self-examinations is a key

 Understanding Brain Tumors: Types, Symptoms, and Treatments Introduction A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain or surrounding tissues. These tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they vary widely in their behavior, treatment options, and prognosis. This article provides an overview of brain tumors, including their types, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments. Types of Brain Tumors Brain tumors are classified based on the type of cell they originate from and their location within the brain. The main categories include: Primary Brain Tumors : These originate within the brain itself or its immediate surroundings. Gliomas: The most common type, originating from glial cells. Subtypes include astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and glioblastomas. Meningiomas: Arising from the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Pituitary Adenomas: Tumors developing in the pituitary gland, affecting hormone production. Medullob

Cystic Fibrosis- causes and symptoms

-
Image
Introduction Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It is characterized by the production of abnormally thick and sticky mucus that can clog the airways and obstruct the pancreas. CF is a progressive disease, leading to severe respiratory and digestive problems, and it often results in a shortened lifespan. Causes Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene. This gene is responsible for the production of a protein that regulates the movement of salt and water in and out of cells. Mutations in the CFTR gene result in the production of a defective protein, leading to the accumulation of thick mucus in various organs. Symptoms The symptoms of cystic fibrosis can vary widely but commonly include: Respiratory symptoms: Persistent coughing, frequent lung infections (including pneumonia and bronchitis), wheezing, and shortness of breath. Digestive symptoms: Difficu
