E aʻo kākou e pili ana i nā aʻa koko i loko o ko kākou kino.

Ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe pehea e holo ai ke koko ma o ko kākou kino? Ua hana ʻia ko kākou kino me kahi pūnaewele o nā alanui liʻiliʻi, e like me nā ʻōmole e lawe ana i ke koko. Kāhea mākou i kēia mau kīʻaha koko . ʻO kēia nā mea e lawe ana i ke koko mai ko kākou puʻuwai i nā ʻāpana a pau o ko kākou kino a hoʻi i ko kākou puʻuwai. Ua like kēia mau kīʻaha koko me nā ʻelele koʻikoʻi e ola ai ko kākou kino.

He aha nā kīʻaha koko? He aha ko lākou ʻano?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he ʻōnaehana o nā ʻōmole liʻiliʻi nā kīʻaha koko e lawe ana i ke koko ma loko o kou kino. Ua like lākou me nā paipu e lawe ana i ka wai, akā lawe lākou i ke koko e hāʻawi ana i ke ola. Ua like kēia ʻōnaehana me kahi kaapuni pani; hoʻomaka ia ma kou puʻuwai, hele ma loko o kou kino, a laila hoʻi i kou puʻuwai. ʻO kou puʻuwai a me kēia mau kīʻaha koko e hana i kāu ʻōnaehana hoʻohele koko . E noʻonoʻo, aia ma kahi o 60,000 mile o nā kīʻaha koko i loko o ko kākou kino! ʻO ia ka lōʻihi o ia mea, ʻeā?

ʻEkolu ʻano nui o nā kīʻaha koko. E nānā kākou i ko lākou ʻano:

• Nā ʻAʻa : ʻO kēia nā ʻōmole mānoanoa a ikaika e lawe ana i ke koko maʻemaʻe a me ka oxygen mai ka puʻuwai a i ke koena o ke kino. Ua like kēia mau ʻaʻa me nā alaloa i loko o ko kākou kino. He ikaika loa lākou a he mau paia mānoanoa no ka mea pono lākou e lawe i ke koko a ka puʻuwai e pamu ai me ka wikiwiki.
• Nā aʻa koko : Ke lawe nei kēia i ke koko haumia a nele i ka oxygen mai nā ʻāpana like ʻole o ke kino i ka puʻuwai. Ua like nā aʻa koko me nā kīʻaha koko liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka mea e hoʻolilo ai iā lākou i mea kūikawā, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻōnaehana o nā kiwikā liʻiliʻi i loko o lākou e pale ai i ke koko mai ke kahe ʻana i hope.
• Nā Capillaries : ʻO kēia nā kīʻaha koko liʻiliʻi loa o ke kino. ʻO lākou nā mea e hoʻopili ai i nā aʻa a me nā veins. He lahilahi loa ko lākou mau paia, no laila he maʻalahi loa ka oxygen, nā meaʻai, ke kalapona dioxide , a me nā huahana ʻōpala e komo a puka i waho o ke koko.

ʻO nā kaikuahine liʻiliʻi o nā aʻa: arterioles

I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā aʻa ma ke kino holoʻokoʻa, hoʻomaka lākou i nā lālā liʻiliʻi a liʻiliʻi. E like me nā lālā o kahi lāʻau nui e hoʻomaka ana. Kāhea mākou i kēlā mau lālā liʻiliʻi he arterioles. He palupalu a palupalu lākou. Hiki iā lākou ke nui a liʻiliʻi. Pēlā lākou e kōkua ai i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ke koko .

Nā ala mimi e hoʻohui i nā aa: Venules

Kāhea mākou i nā venule nā ​​​​aʻa liʻiliʻi e hōʻiliʻili i ke koko mai nā capillaries a lawe iā ia i nā aʻa . Hana kēia mau mea e like me nā kahawai liʻiliʻi e hui pū ana e hana i kahi muliwai nui.

He aha ka mea e hana ʻia i nā kīʻaha koko?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka hana nui o nā kīʻaha koko ke hoʻolako i ke koko i kēlā me kēia ʻōkana a me nā ʻiʻo i loko o ko kākou kino. ʻO kēia no ka mea aia i loko o kēia koko ka oxygen a me nā meaʻai e pono ai kēia mau ʻōkana e hana. E like me kā kākou e pono ai i ka meaʻai a me ka mea inu e ola ai, he mea nui kēia mau mea no ko kākou mau ʻāpana kino. Eia kekahi, ʻo kekahi hana koʻikoʻi o nā kīʻaha koko ke hoʻihoʻi mai i nā huahana ʻōpala a me ke kalapona ʻokikene i hana ʻia i loko o kēia mau ʻōkana a me nā ʻiʻo a kōkua iā lākou e hoʻopuka iā lākou mai ke kino.

Aia ma hea kēia mau kīʻaha koko?

Inā ʻoe e noʻonoʻo nei i kahi o kēia mau kīʻaha koko i loko o ko kākou kino, aia ka pane ma nā wahi a pau! E hoʻomaka ana mai nā kīʻaha koko nui, e lālā ana lākou i nā lālā liʻiliʻi, a laha a puni ke kino e like me ka ʻupena o ka nananana. Penei ke ʻano o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke koko i kēlā me kēia ʻōkana a me nā cell i loko o ko kākou kino. Ua ʻike anei ʻoe, he piliona o kēia mau kīʻaha koko i loko o ko kākou kino! ʻO ka hapa nui o lākou nā mea liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo ' Capillaries' , 'Venules', a me 'Arterioles' a kākou i kamaʻilio ai ma mua. Hoʻopili ʻia kēia mau mea liʻiliʻi i 160 mau aʻa nui a me 200 mau aʻa wale nō.

ʻO ke aʻa koko koʻikoʻi a nui loa i loko o ko kākou kino, ʻo ia ka aorta, a i ʻole ka mea a kākou e kapa aku ai he `(Aorta)`. ʻO kēia ke ala nui e hoʻolaha ana i ke koko maʻemaʻe mai ka puʻuwai a i ke kino holoʻokoʻa. Hele kēia aorta ma ka umauma, ma o ka diaphragm, i lalo ma o ka lua ʻōpū (ʻōpū), a māhele ʻia i ʻelua lālā ma ka pelvis (`Pelvis`), e hoʻolako ana i ke koko i ke kino haʻahaʻa a me nā wāwae.

Pēlā nō, ʻo ke aʻa nui i loko o ko kākou kino, ʻo ia ka vena cava, a i ʻole `(Vena Cava)`. He ʻelua ona ʻāpana. Aia ka `Superior Vena Cava` ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o luna o ka umauma. Lawe mai ia i ke koko lepo mai ke poʻo, ka ʻāʻī, nā lima, a me ka umauma i ka puʻuwai. Aia ka `Inferior Vena Cava` kokoke i ka diaphragm , ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau. Lawe mai ia i ke koko mai nā wāwae, nā wāwae, ka ʻōpū, a me ke pelvis i ka puʻuwai.

Pehea e hana ʻia ai nā kīʻaha koko? He aha ko lākou mau papa?

Ua ʻili anei ʻoe i ka ʻakaʻakai? He mau papa kona, ʻeā? Pēlā nō, ua hana ʻia ko kākou mau kīʻaha koko i ʻekolu mau papa nui o nā ʻiʻo. Ua hui pū kēia mau papa e hana i ka paia o ke kīʻaha koko. E nānā kākou i ke ʻano o lākou:

• ʻO Tunica intima : ʻO kēia ka papa o loko loa. I ka hele ʻana o ke koko, hoʻopā ia i kēia papa. He laumania loa ia. ʻIke ʻoe i ke aha? Pono ke koko e kahe mālie, me ke keʻakeʻa ʻole. Hoʻoponopono pū ia i ke kaomi koko.Kōkua pū kēia "Tunica intima" i ka pale ʻana i ke kāpili ʻana o ke koko a pale i ke komo ʻana o nā mea ʻawahia i loko o ke koko.

• Media : ʻO kēia ka papa waena. Loaʻa iā ia nā olonā elastic, ʻo ia hoʻi nā olonā stretchable, a me nā olonā muscle. ʻAe kēia i nā kīʻaha koko e hoʻonui a ʻaelike. ʻO kekahi hana koʻikoʻi o kēia papa, ʻo ia ke kōkua i ka hoʻomau ʻana o ke koko e kahe ana i hoʻokahi ʻaoʻao. Hoʻolōʻihi a ʻaelike ia e like me ke kaula laholio ke pono.

• ʻAvetenitia : ʻO kēia ka papa waho loa. Loaʻa iā ia nā aʻalolo a me nā kīʻaha koko liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia papa kahi e loaʻa ai i nā kīʻaha koko ka oxygen a me nā meaʻai, a kōkua pū kekahi i ka hoʻohemo ʻana i nā huahana ʻōpala. Ma ke ʻano pololei, ʻo ka papa waho loa, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka avetenitia, hāʻawi i nā kīʻaha koko me ka ikaika, ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana, a me ka pale.

Pehea ke ʻano o nā kīʻaha koko?

ʻĀ, pehea ke ʻano o kēia mau kīʻaha koko? ʻO ke ʻano maʻamau o lākou he "tube". Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole lākou e holo mau i kahi laina pololei, akā ma ke ʻano wili a wili i loko o ke kino. ʻIke ʻia kekahi o nā kīʻaha koko nui, ʻoiai nā aʻa koko, ma lalo o ko mākou ʻili. Ua hāʻawi mua ʻoe i ke koko? A i ʻole ua huki ʻia kou koko no kahi hoʻāʻo? Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i nā aʻa koko polū ma loko o kou lima, ʻeā? He mau aʻa koko kēlā. ʻAʻole anei he mea kupanaha ʻoiai he ʻulaʻula ko mākou koko, he uliuli kona ʻano ma lalo o ka ʻili?

Loaʻa pū nā maʻi i nā kīʻaha koko? He aha lākou?

ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo nō. E like me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ko kākou kino, hiki i nā kīʻaha koko ke loaʻa i nā maʻi like ʻole a me nā maʻi. E nānā kākou i kekahi o nā kūlana maʻamau:

• Aneurysm : ʻO kēia ka wā e nāwaliwali ai ka paia o ke aʻa a i ʻole e hōʻino ʻia, e hoʻoulu ai i waho, e hana ana i kahi puʻupuʻu e like me ka pōpō. Hiki ke hana i kēia ma loko o ke aʻa ma nā wahi āpau o ke kino. ʻO ka mea weliweli loa, inā haki kahi aneurysm, hiki iā ia ke hoʻoulu i ke kahe koko nui i loko o ke kino. Hiki ke hoʻoweliweli i ke ola.

• Nā maʻi arterial : Aia i loko o kēia māhele kekahi mau maʻi nui. ʻO nā laʻana, ʻo ia ka maʻi coronary artery (CAD), ka maʻi carotid artery (CAD), a me ka maʻi peripheral artery (PAD). Pili kēia mau maʻi āpau i ka hoʻohaiki mālie ʻana o nā arteries. Hoʻokumu pinepine ʻia kēia e kahi maʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo atherosclerosis.

• Atherosclerosis : I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he ʻano kēia kahi e hōʻiliʻili ai ka momona, ka cholesterol, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i loko o nā paia o nā aʻa, e like me ka lepo e pani ana i ka paipu, e hoʻoemi ana i nā aʻa a paʻakikī. Kāhea mākou i kēia mau waihona he plaques.Hoʻonui kēia i ka pilikia o ka hōʻeha puʻuwai a i ʻole ka hahau .

• Nā ʻūpā koko : I kekahi manawa hiki ke hana ʻia nā ʻūpā koko i loko o ke aʻa a i ʻole ke aʻa. Hiki i kēia mau ʻūpā ke ālai piha a hapa paha i ke kahe koko. Hiki i kēia ke alakaʻi i nā kūlana weliweli e like me ka deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, stroke, a i ʻole ka ālai piha ʻana o ke aʻa.

• Ke koko kiʻekiʻe ('Ke koko kiʻekiʻe / Hypertension`) : Ua lohe paha ka hapa nui o ʻoukou i kēia. ʻO kēia ka manawa e ʻoi aku ai ke kaomi o ke koko ma nā paia o ke aʻa ma mua o ka pae maʻamau. Inā ʻaʻole i kāohi ʻia kēia no ka manawa lōʻihi, hiki iā ia ke hōʻino i ka puʻuwai, nā puʻupaʻa, nā maka, a me ka lolo.

• ʻO ka maʻi Raynaud : Hiki mai kēia ʻano ke ʻūlū koke nā aʻa liʻiliʻi i loko o ka ʻili. Hana ʻia kēia i ka wā e hōʻike ʻia ai i ke anu a i ʻole ke kaumaha ʻoe. Hiki i nā manamana lima ke mae, polū, a mae.

• ʻO nā aʻa Varicose : He mea kēia a ka poʻe he nui e ʻike ai. ʻOi loa aku ma nā wāwae, ʻike ʻia nā aʻa he wili, puʻupuʻu, a i kekahi manawa ua nakinaki ʻia. Hiki i kēia ke hōʻeha a me ka manaʻo kaumaha ma nā wāwae.

• Nā malformations vascular : He mau ʻūlū kūpono ʻole kēia a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​maopopo ʻole o nā kīʻaha koko. ʻO kahi laʻana he kūlana i kapa ʻia ʻo arteriovenous malformations. He mea hānau pinepine kēia.

• Vasculitis : I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he mumū kēia o nā kīʻaha koko. Hiki i kēia ke hoʻomānoanoa a hoʻohāiki i nā paia o nā kīʻaha koko, kahi e hiki ai ke kaupalena i ke kahe koko.

Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai inā hewa kekahi mea? He aha nā hōʻailona?

Hiki ke ʻokoʻa loa nā hōʻailona o nā maʻi vascular. Aia ia i ke ʻano o ka maʻi a me kona koʻikoʻi. I kekahi manawa, e like me nā aneurysms a mākou i kamaʻilio ai, a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​male ʻole o ke koko, ʻaʻohe hōʻailona a hiki i ka lilo ʻana i pilikia nui.

Akā, ma keʻano laulā, inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona, ​​​​ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke ʻike ʻana i ke kauka no ka ʻōlelo aʻo:

• Hoʻololi ke kala o ka ʻili, no ka laʻana, e lilo ana i polū.
• Anuanu a mae paha i nā wāwae, nā lima, nā kapuaʻi, a i ʻole nā ​​poho lima.
• Ka paʻakikī e hana i nā hana kino maʻamau.
• Luhi mau ka manaʻo ('Fatigue').
• ʻEha ma ka umauma, ka ʻōpū, nā lima, a i ʻole nā ​​wāwae.
• Paʻakikī ka hanu ʻana, me he mea lā e loaʻa ana iā ʻoe kahi hahau ('Shortness of breath').

Mea nui:Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi o nā hōʻailona ma lalo nei, he mea nui e ʻimi koke i ke kōkua lapaʻau! He mau hōʻailona paha kēia o kahi maʻi weliweli.

• Manaʻo koke ua puni ka poʻo, pilikia i ka ʻōlelo ʻana, a i ʻole ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka mea e ʻōlelo ʻia nei.
• Ka maneʻo koke a me ka nāwaliwali ma kekahi ʻaoʻao o ke kino.
• Ka nalowale koke ʻana a i ʻole ka pohihihi o ka ʻike.
• Ka paʻakikī o ka hele wāwae, ka nalowale o ke kaulike.
• Ka poniuniu a i ʻole ka māʻule ʻana.
• Ke manaʻo nei e kuʻi wikiwiki ana kou puʻuwai ('Fast heartbeat').
• ʻEha nui ma ka umauma, ke kua o luna, nā lima, a i ʻole nā ​​wāwae.
• Hoʻonui koke ʻia a i ʻole ka hoʻomaka hou ʻana o ka pōkole o ka hanu.
• Ka pehu ʻana o nā lima a i ʻole nā ​​wāwae (ʻEdema).

No laila, pehea lā e mālama ai i kēia mau kīʻaha koko makamae i ke olakino?

ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi, he nui nā mea maʻalahi hiki iā kākou ke hana e mālama i ko kākou mau kīʻaha koko i ke olakino. Inā mākou e hoʻolilo i kēia mau maʻamau i mea maʻamau, hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i kahi ʻokoʻa nui.

• E hahai i kahi papaʻai olakino: E koho i nā meaʻai haʻahaʻa i ka sodium (paʻakai), cholesterol, a me nā momona momona. E hoʻokomo i nā huaʻai, nā mea kanu, nā legumes, nā meaʻai fiber kiʻekiʻe, a me ka iʻa i kāu papaʻai.
• E hana kino: E ho'āʻo e hoʻoikaika kino ma ka liʻiliʻi he 150 mau minuke i ka pule. Hiki iā ʻoe ke koho i kahi mea e like me ka hele wikiwiki, ka holo ʻana, ka ʻauʻau ʻana, a i ʻole ke kaʻa paikikala.
• E kāohi i kou koko, ke kō koko, a me nā pae cholesterol: He mea nui loa ia e mālama i kēia mau mea ma nā pae kūpono. Inā pono, e lawe i ka lāʻau lapaʻau e like me ke kuhikuhi a kāu kauka.
• E pale loa i nā huahana paka: ʻO ka puhipaka kekahi o nā ʻenemi nui loa o nā kīʻaha koko.
• E kaupalena i ka inu ʻona: E hōʻemi i ka inu ʻona i ka hiki, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, e hoʻōki loa.

No laila, he aha nā mea e pono ai kākou e hoʻomanaʻo mai nā mea a kākou i kamaʻilio ai i kēia lā?

He mea nui nā kīʻaha koko e lawe ana i ke koko ma o ko kākou kino no ko kākou ola. Hāʻawi lākou i ko kākou mau ʻōpū a me nā ʻiʻo me ka oxygen a me nā meaʻai, a kōkua pū lākou i ka hoʻohemo ʻana i nā huahana ʻōpala.

Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kēia mau kīʻaha koko ke hoʻomohala i nā maʻi like ʻole. ʻO kekahi o lākou, no ka laʻana, nā poloka kīʻaha koko (blockages) a i ʻole ka hoʻonui ʻia (enlargement), hiki ke hoʻoweliweli i ke ola.

No laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i kou ʻōnaehana cardiovascular i ke kūlana maikaʻi ma o ka hahai ʻana i nā ʻano nohona olakino. ʻO nā mea maʻalahi e like me ka ʻai kaulike, ka hoʻoikaika kino mau, ka pale ʻana i ka puhipaka, a me ka palena ʻana i ka waiʻona hiki ke hana i kahi ʻokoʻa nui. E mālama i kou kino, no ka mea, ʻo ke olakino ka waiwai nui loa!
