Blockage may be caused by spasm of the artery or by atherosclerosis with acute clot formation. The blockage results in damaged tissue and a permanent loss of contraction of this portion of the heart muscle.Heart, front view1097 41097 5The external structures of the heart include the ventricles, atria, arteries and veins. Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood into the heart. The vessels colored blue indicate the transport of blood with relatively low content of oxygen and high content of carbon dioxide. The vessels colored red indicate the transport of blood with relatively high content of oxygen and low content of carbon dioxide.Heart, section through the middle1056 41056 5The interior of the heart is composed of valves, chambers, and associated vessels.Heart attackAngioplasty and stent placement - heartBody mass indexCoronary heart diseaseAnginaAtrial fibrillation/flutterDiabetesHormone therapyHormone Replacement Therapy is medication containing one or more female hormones to treat symptoms of menopause.

The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus. The main function of the uterus is to nourish the developing fetus prior to birth.HysterectomyMenopauseOsteoporosisUrinary incontinenceDeep venous thrombosisPulmonary embolusPectus carinatumPectus carinatum2006-11-04 00:37:05.0ADAM2009-11-05 08:14:27.0Pectus carinatumPectus carinatumPectus carinatumRibcage8787 48787 5The ribs connect on the front of the chest with the long flat sternum, or breast bone, and on the back with the vertebral column, creating a cage of protection for the lungs and heart.Bowed chest (pigeon breast)9011 49011 5A bowed chest is also called pectus carinatum.

The pilonidal dimple may also be a deep tract, rather than a shallow depression, leading to a sinus that may contain hair. During adolescence the pilonidal dimple or tract may become infected forming a cyst-like structure called a pilonidal cyst. These pilonidal cysts may require surgical drainage or total excision to prevent reinfection.Anatomical landmarks, back view1069 41069 5There are three body views (front, back and side) that may be helpful if you are uncertain of a body area. Many areas are referred to by both descriptive and technical names. For example, the back of the knee is called the popliteal fossa. However, areas like the "flank" may not have both names, so the location may be unclear.AgitationAgitation2006-11-04 00:34:56.0ADAM2009-11-05 07:50:54.0AgitationAgitationAgitationCentral nervous system8679 48679 5The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord.

When you eat, your body converts calories into energy and uses what it can and stores the rest in the form of fat. A calorie is a calorie, whether it comes from a brownie or a serving of raw broccoli. The difference between them is the number of calories, nutrients, fat, and other ingredients in a typical serving.FoodServing sizeCaloriesFat (grams)Broccoli1/2 cup120.2Brownie1 square1603Isometric exercise19392 4Read how isometric exercise can help improve your strength.19392 5Isometric exercise works muscles and strengthens bone. Increased muscle mass elevates metabolism, which in turn burns fat. Strength training is also called anaerobic exercise, as opposed to aerobic, because increased oxygen production is not required.Aerobic exercise19383 4Learn about the benefits of aerobic exercise.19383 5Aerobic exercise gets the heart working to pump blood through the heart more quickly and with more force than normal. As blood is pumped faster, it must be oxygenated more quickly, which quickens respiration. Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart and boosts healthy cholestrol levels. Low impact aerobics include walking and swimming. Running, tennis and dance are high impact aerobics.Hypothyroidism - primaryOverweightMetabolismEndocrine glandsAlcohol useSwellingDepressionHeadacheHeadache2006-11-04 00:31:44.0ADAM2009-11-05 08:35:45.0HeadacheHeadacheHeadacheHeadache17204 417204 5Headaches are usually caused by either muscle tension, vascular problems, or both.
