Circulatory System

By Himanshu JoshiAnatomy, human bodyanatomy, blood system, circular motion, Circulatory System, human body

The human heart is like a muscular bag that lets in impure blood through veins and lets out the pureblood through arteries. Veins carry impure blood but the arteries carry pure blood. Both veins and arteries are known as blood vessels. The blood carried by arteries is pure, red, and bright but the blood carried from the lungs to the heart is bright red and the pulmonary vein carries this blood. The blood, due to the presence of fibrinogen in blood plasma, has the capacity to clot. But for the clotting phenomenon of the blood, oozing from a cut or injury would never have stopped flowing. But, if the clot occurs/forms within the vessels, a serious heart complication, called ‘thrombosis’ may set in. If the same clot forms in the […]

Small drops of water make an ocean. Life is also like a mammoth water body that collects every nugget or drop of experience in its belly and gives birth to our current reality. It can be compared to a jigsaw puzzle where only one piece can be seen in its entirety unless we find all the pieces. While seeing the complete picture is not in our hands, making every piece of the puzzle worthwhile is in our control. Childhood is the perfect time to work on a person, to imbibe the right samskaras that become the building blocks to adult life. A calm, collected and focussed mind is not achieved in a matter of days, weeks, or even months. It’s a lifelong process and the intention has to be set […]

By Himanshu Joshihealth, human bodyanatomy, human anatomy, human bosy, physiology, yoga

Introduction Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body’s structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. The word “anatomy” comes from a Greek root that means “to cut apart.” In order to observe structures in living people, a number of imaging techniques have been developed. These techniques allow clinicians to visualize structures inside the living body such as a cancerous tumor or a fractured bone. Like most scientific disciplines, anatomy has areas of specialization. Gross anatomy is the study of the larger structures of the Human body, those visible without the aid of magnification. Macro- means “large,” thus, gross anatomy is also referred […]
