Synopsis

Shows the behaviour of the system formed by the brain, heart and circulatory system. Students learn the anatomy of the circulation and the way blood passes around it. Why does jugular venous pressure go up in cardiogenic shock and down in haemorrhagic shock? Why is it that positive pressure ventilation causes such profound circulatory disturbances? Why does noradrenaline reduce blood volume and slow down the heart?
