Vascular system human

HSA is the single most abundant protein in blood (Table 12.7). Its normal concentration is approximately 42 g 1 1, representing 60 per cent of total plasma protein. The vascular system of an average adult thus contains in the region of 150 g of albumin. HSA is responsible for over 80 per cent of the colloidal osmotic pressure of human blood. More than any other plasma constituent, HSA is thus responsible for retaining sufficient fluid within blood vessels. It has been aptly described as the protein that makes blood thicker than water. 

Effects on the vascular system have also been observed in humans and animals. One of the more prominent effects following acute human exposure to white phosphorus is shock,... 

Exposure to allylamine in industries synthesizing pharmaceuticals and other commercial products is a known occurrence. Allylamines are known to cause adverse effects, especially to the liver, kidney, heart and/or blood vascular systems in experimental humans. It has been reported that exposure to methyl-, ethyl-, heptyl-, and allylamines results in severe pathologic lesions of the above-mentioned vital organs in animals and humans.72 High doses of allylamines are always associated with the induction of fatal cardiovascular injury.72,73...

Plasma is the water-rich component of the blood within which the blood cells and platelets circulate. It plays an important role in material transport, pH regulation, and other metabolic processes in the human body. Plasma interactions with earth materials are restricted to breaks in the skin and vascular system. 

Each cell in the human body relies upon an adequate supply of fluid, electrolytes, and nutrients from the vascular system. Often wounding... 

The retina contributes to major sensory input in humans, engaging about one-third of the human brain in its processing. For clinicians, the retina is the most readily visible part of the central nervous system (CNS). CNS bloodvessels at the arteriolar level can be directly visualized in situ only in retina. This allows a direct inspection of pathological changes in the CNS and the vascular system. For researchers, the retina is a wcU-organized part of the CNS with many remarkable features, making it an excellent tissue for scientific study. 

Human secretion of GH occurs from the pituitary gland (which is found at the base of the brain). Some travels the vascular system to muscle and bone tissue resulting in direct initiation of anabolism through alternate growth factor/somatomedin formation (IGF-1 2 are formed due to cascade responses). Some travels to the liver where it interacts with insulin and other factors to form hepatic introduced circulatory growth factors/somatomedins. 

Red clover contains isoflavones, compounds that are structurally similar to the human hormone estradiol and capable of binding to estrogen receptors (Umland et al. 2000). Some studies have indicated that red clover isoflavones have a greater affinity for the estrogen receptor P (found primarily in bone, brain, heart, and vascular system) than estrogen receptor a (found primarily in uterus, breast, ovaries, and adrenal glands) (Beck et al. 2005 Dornstauder et al. 2001).
