'''TM-38837''' is a [[chemical compound]] that is currently under investigation for its potential therapeutic applications. It is a selective [[T-type calcium channel]] blocker, which means it inhibits the flow of calcium ions through these specific channels. This mechanism of action has implications for a variety of [[neurological disorders]], including [[epilepsy]], [[pain]], and [[Parkinson's disease]].

TM-38837 works by selectively blocking T-type calcium channels. These channels are found in a variety of tissues throughout the body, but are particularly prevalent in the [[nervous system]]. They play a crucial role in regulating the flow of calcium ions into cells, which is a key process in [[neuronal signaling]]. By blocking these channels, TM-38837 can modulate neuronal activity and potentially alleviate symptoms of various neurological disorders.
The '''cardiovascular system''', also known as the '''circulatory system''', is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

Cardiovascular System[edit]

Diagram of the human cardiovascular system

The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

Components[edit]

The cardiovascular system consists of the following major components:

Heart[edit]

The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. It is located in the thoracic cavity, between the lungs, and is divided into four chambers: the left and right atria and the left and right ventricles.

Blood Vessels[edit]

Illustration showing the major blood vessels

Blood vessels are the channels or conduits through which blood is distributed to body tissues. The three major types of blood vessels are:

Blood[edit]

Blood is a specialized bodily fluid that delivers necessary substances to the body's cells and transports waste products away from those same cells. It is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma.

Function[edit]

The primary function of the cardiovascular system is to transport nutrients, gases, and waste products around the body. It also plays a role in maintaining body temperature and pH balance.

Circulatory Pathways[edit]

The cardiovascular system includes two types of circulation:

Systemic Circulation[edit]

Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Pulmonary Circulation[edit]

Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.
