The Circulatory System

 

The Circulatory System is composed of the Heart and Blood Vessels. It consists of many different cell types that must work together as a single unit in a very specific way in order to efficiently pump blood through the body and keep us alive. The electrical and mechanical portions of the circulatory system must work concurrently, or else there is pathology.

Below is my collection of notes on the Circulatory System from medical school.  Each lecture is followed by a brief description of it's contents.  However, there are many diseases covered other than those listed.  If you are looking for something specific, you can search MedSkool.Net to find it.
