Understanding Blood Circulation

Filed in Definitions

Blood circulation is also known as human circulatory system. The key components of a human circulatory system is the heart, the blood and the blood vessels.

Understanding What Is Circulatory System

It is an organ system that is collectively made up of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. The cardiovascular system is formed by the heart, blood and blood vessels whereas the lymphatic system is formed by the lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels. Blood and lymph fluids move through the circulatory system. The human digestive system works with the circulatory system to provide nutrients to its needs to keep the heart pumping.

Understanding What Is Blood Circulation

Human blood circulation comprises mainly 2 forms of circulations, the pulmonary and systemic circulations. During pulmonary circulation, the human blood is oxygenated after a loop through the lung. As for systemic circulation, the blood is circulated (loop) through the rest of the body to provide oxygenated blood.

Blood circulation helps to move nutrients, gases or even waste, to and from cells. This would then help in fighting diseases and stabilizing blood temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis.

What Is Pulse Oximetry?

Filed in Definitions

A Pulse Oximetry in simple explanation, is a simple, non-invasive method of monitoring the percentage of a patient’s hemoglobin (Hb) which is saturated with oxygen (oxygenation).

In many circumstance, the Pulse Oximetry data is necessary whenever a patient’s blood oxygenation is unstable and needs to be monitored closely, including intensive care, critical care and emergency areas of a hospital. However, if you need to perform simple Pulse Oximetry at home, you may do so with a Pulse Oximeter.

Note(s) :

Pulse Oximetry cannot determine the metabolism of oxygen or the amount of oxygen used by the patient. Hence for this purpose, it is necessary to measure the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels too.
