Cardiovascular System[edit]

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]

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

Arteries: Vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Veins: Vessels that carry blood towards the heart.
Capillaries: Microscopic vessels where the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrients and waste substances occurs between blood and surrounding tissues.

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 red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and 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, and in protecting the body from disease.

Circulation[edit]

The cardiovascular system is responsible for two types of circulation:

Pulmonary circulation: The flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart.
Systemic circulation: The flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back to the heart.

Disorders[edit]

Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. Common disorders include:

-'''EA-3990''' is a [[chemical compound]] that belongs to the class of [[organic compounds]] known as [[benzodiazepines]]. It is a synthetic compound with potential applications in the field of [[medicine]] and [[pharmacology]].
+{{DISPLAYTITLE:Cardiovascular System}}
-==Chemical Structure==
+== Cardiovascular System ==
-EA-3990 is characterized by a benzodiazepine ring, which is a fused ring structure made up of a [[benzene]] ring and a [[diazepine]] ring. The benzene ring is a six-membered ring consisting of six carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms, while the diazepine ring is a seven-membered ring with two nitrogen atoms and five carbon atoms.

-==Synthesis==
+== Components ==
-The synthesis of EA-3990 involves a series of chemical reactions, starting with the formation of the benzodiazepine ring. This is typically achieved through a [[condensation reaction]] between a benzene derivative and a diazepine derivative. The resulting compound is then further modified through various chemical reactions to yield EA-3990.

-==Potential Applications==
+=== Heart ===
-While the specific applications of EA-3990 are still under investigation, benzodiazepines in general have a wide range of uses in medicine. They are commonly used as [[sedatives]], [[anxiolytics]], [[muscle relaxants]], and [[anticonvulsants]]. They work by enhancing the effect of the neurotransmitter [[gamma-aminobutyric acid]] (GABA) in the brain, which results in sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties.

-==Safety and Toxicity==
+=== Blood Vessels ===
-As with all benzodiazepines, EA-3990 has the potential for abuse and dependence. Long-term use can lead to tolerance and physical dependence, and withdrawal symptoms can occur if the drug is abruptly discontinued. Overdose can result in severe respiratory depression and death.
