Cardiovascular System

Project Description

create a structured project that explains:

• Key anatomical structures
• Structure–function relationships
• Common anatomical disorders or injuries
• Nursing relevance (assessment, safety, and care implications)

Body System

• Cardiovascular System (anatomy focus)

Project Format 

• 5–7 pages (excluding title and references)
