Anatomy Exam for Chapter 11Name:______

Mr. Van Bussum

After a lifetime of eating fast food, smoking two packs of cigarettes a day and consuming far more calories that his body needed, Joe Oakley suffered a massive heart attack at age 57. He had a wife, four children, and one grandchild. Due to his lack of exercise, his body was not equipped to deal with the stress from his job.

Ever since he was a young boy, Joe dreamed of becoming an architect. He went to college at South Central Louisiana State University, home of the Muddogs. He completed his studies with a bachelor’s degree in 1986, and he has been an architect designing skyscrapers with a firm in New York City since that time. His job requires him to travel on a weekly basis. He dealt with the stress of meeting deadlines by overeating and smoking cigarettes.

Due to his heart attack, plaque had formed in his arteries, making them less elastic and able to pump blood efficiently. His stroke volume has an output of 3,280 ml per minute. He is now on a ventilator and cannot function without oxygen. He has taken steps to improve his situation, but he still has many things to do and many obstacles to overcome.
