Coronay and portal vessels Parts from the circulatory system and function Diseases Hypertension Hypertension is an abnormally high blood pressure, it is the amount of force extended against the walls of the arteries. High blood pressure, or hypertension has been called the silent killer, because it often has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people do not even know they have it. symtoms: are, headache, nausea, double vision, nosebleeds, very fast palpitations, breathlessness, etc. Such diseases as heart attack, kidney failure, etc come from hypertension. Causes CAUSES Hypertension can come from many things such as: There are two types of hypertension, the firt one called primary hypertension that is produced by age, and the secondary hypertension that is produced by many things such as too much sodium ( Salt) or many other things, this one appears suddenly and it might come with the arrival of other diseases like kidney problems, gland tumors, thyroid problems, drugs and many others. Some other things that may cause hypertension are: the excess of sodium, genetics, age, family history, overweight, smoking, not enough exercise, drinking too much alcohool, stress, Certain chronic conditions such as kidney disease, etc. Treatments TREATMENTS Depending on the type of hypertension the treatment is different, sometimes it is treated with diffent drugs or with lifetime changes such as, loosing weight, stop smoking, healthy diet, reducing amout of sodium, doing exercise and reducing alcohool. It might also be treated with therapy.

I agree with the transplant of organs because this ones give them an opportunity, when one organ is not working well many other organs may be damaged and many parts of the human body may fail, so when you have a transplant you heal and help all the other organs to get better. Transplants can be very dangerous but they are also very important, without them be will risk not only the damaged organ but all the other things that this organ is connected to and makes function. DO YOU AGREE WITH A ORGAN TRANPLANT?
