Microcirculation of blood is the circulation of blood in the smallest of blood vessels, those embedded in the organ tissues. While these are not the first avenues of thought when we consider circulation, they are vital to human health and to the function of the body. Without Microcirculation, our organs would fail, carbon dioxide removal would be reduced and the body would cease to function as it is meant to. This type of blood movement also directly impacts blood pressure and has become a...

Phlebotomy refers to the process of puncturing a vein and extracting blood. A phlebotomy reference guide that contained diagrams of the major veins would be very helpful to anyone who is planning to pursue a career in a health/medical field. Learning how much blood is needed for each test and what the different colored test tubes are used for would also be an easier task when you could refer to a guidebook. This type of resource could also be used for teaching or independent studies.

Cardiogenic shock is based upon an inadequate circulation of blood due to primary failure of the ventricles of the heart to function effectively.Since this is a type of shock there is insufficient perfusion of tissue (i.e. the heart) to meet the required demands for oxygen and nutrients. Cardiogenic shock is a largely irreversible condition and as such is more often fatal than not. The condition involves increasingly more pervasive cell death from oxygen starvation (hypoxia) and nu...
