Explore the circulatory system in-depth with Ninja Nerd's free online course. Covering heart anatomy, various circulations, and detailed artery and vein models. Perfect for health enthusiasts.
Welcome to "The Circulatory System," an extensive and thorough course with a duration of 5 hours and 8 minutes dedicated to unraveling the complexities of our body’s circulatory network. This course is a part of the Health category under the subcategory of Anatomy. It provides an in-depth exploration of the cardiovascular system, utilizing detailed models and clear explanations to facilitate understanding.
The course begins with a focus on the fundamental architecture and function of the heart. Through detailed anatomical diagrams and heart models, you will grasp the various components that make up this vital organ and understand how they work together to pump blood throughout the body. This foundational knowledge is essential for any further study of the cardiovascular system.
We then transition into the mechanics of pulmonary circulation, unraveling how blood transfers between the heart and lungs. You will learn about the crucial role of oxygenation and the elimination of carbon dioxide in this intricate cycle. This segment is pivotal in appreciating the full scope of the circulatory system’s functionality.
The course also covers coronary circulation, shedding light on how the heart itself is supplied with needed nutrients and oxygen. The explanation of arteries, including those in the head and upper limb, is enhanced with flow charts to clarify blood flow patterns. Understanding these pathways is vital for comprehending conditions that might arise due to circulatory issues.
Attention is given to the Circle of Willis, an essential arterial circle in the brain, and its role in providing a redundant blood supply to minimize the impact of ischemic strokes. This is combined with a thorough investigation into the arteries of the thorax and their vital contributions to the body's functionality.
The course delves into the specifics of liver and pancreas circulation, important for understanding how blood supplies these organs critical for metabolism and digestion. Furthermore, it explores the arteries and veins of the lower limb, complete with flow charts to illustrate blood flow and the unique aspects of the venous system of the thorax and abdomen.
Throughout "The Circulatory System," detailed visuals coupled with expert commentary ensure that complex topics are broken down into understandable segments. Although there are no reviews yet, the comprehensive content promises a significant educational experience for anyone eager to deepen their understanding of human anatomy and the intricacies of the circulatory system.
