Cardiovascular System

This course provides a comprehensive review of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. Key topics covered include the detailed anatomy of the heart, the intricate process of blood flow through the heart, the intrinsic conduction system that regulates heartbeats, the structure of various blood vessels, and the critical factors that influence blood pressure. This on-demand offering is designed to enhance your understanding of the circulatory system, delivering essential knowledge for chiropractic professionals. Participants gain valuable insights into the complex mechanisms that govern cardiovascular health, with access expiring on the last day of the calendar year in which the product is purchased, requiring completion within that timeframe.

• •Identify the structural components of the heart, including chambers, valves, and layers, and explain their roles in cardiac function
• •Describe the pathway of blood flow through the heart and pulmonary and systemic circulations
• •Analyze the intrinsic conduction system and explain how electrical impulses regulate heart rate and rhythm
• •Compare and contrast the structure and function of arteries, veins, and capillaries in relation to their physiological roles
• •Explain the mechanisms that regulate blood pressure, including cardiac output, vascular resistance, and neural/hormonal control
• •Apply cardiovascular anatomy and physiology knowledge to clinical patient assessments and chiropractic practice
