Human Cardiovascular System

A model of the heart, artery, and vein system of the human body.

The model consist of the heart, artery system working as the elasticity reservoir, and the vein system working as the volume reservoir. The systemic and pulmonary circulations are presented. The pressure sensors enable observation of hydrostatic pressure and pressure due to heart action. The embolism of vein and artery, stress and narrowing of capitalars could be simulated. The arteriosclerosis changes and creating of arterial pulsar can be observed as well as two ways of operation of it. The collapse of artery could be presented due to the increasing speed of blood flow.
