The Cardiovascular System
• Is responsible for circulating a
continuous supply of oxygen and
nutrients to all parts of the body
• Carries these materials in the body's
circulation within a series of blood
vessels, pushed along mainly by the
movements of the heart

Endocarditis. The human heart has been sectioned to reveal the left ventricle and origin
of the aorta, with the aortic valve between them. The yellow growths, called vegetations,
on the aortic valve have been caused by a Streptococcus infection, rendering the aortic
valve nonfunctional. Because the heart valve is affected, the condition is also called
cardiovalvulitis.

Angioplasty. One form is called balloon angioplasty, shown here. A balloon catheter is
threaded into the blocked artery and positioned into the obstructed area. The balloon is
then inflated, which presses the plaque against the vessel wall. After the balloon catheter
is withdrawn, the plaque remains flattened, improving the flow of blood through the
vessel.
