What is the purpose of the LymFATic System? |
-Transports fluid called lymph -keps body safe from harmful things that enter the body |
|
|
What is the spleen |
-filter like bean shaped organ -recycles old red blood cells -storage for white blood cells |
|
|
What are the LymFATic Vessels |
-transports lymph through the body |
|
|
What are lymph nodes |
-t-cells or lymphocytes gets produced (type of white blood cell) -bacteria collected from lymph gets destroyed
|
|
|
What is the Thymus? |
-organ where T-cells mature and develop -found in front of heat and behind the sternum |
|
|
What is the appendix? |
-where some lymphoid cells are found |
|
|
what are the Tonsils? |
-first line of defence for bacteria when they enter the mouth |
|
|
What type of system is the LymFATic? |
-uses nutrients -cats as filter for blood -leaves the blood cells and reds of plasma -filters waste from staying in blood and keeps nutrients
|
|
|
Hodgkin's Lymphoma |
-Common disease of LymFATic -type of blood cell tumor (lymphoma) -comes from lymphocytes -occurs when white blood cells become diseased -also known as hodgkin's disease |
|
|
how does the LymFATic system interacts with other systems? |
-with circulatory system by ridding fluids of harmful substances -returns those fluid back to circulatory |
|
|
What is interesting tech for the LymFATic system? |
too lazy for this part. I'll do it later |
|
|
What is the purpose of the Muscular System |
-helps move -keeps your heart beating -keeps you upright -controls facial expression and speech Helps you digest food |
|
|
what are muscle fibres? |
-tiny elastics strand that make up the muscle stretch and contract to move the muscle |
|
|
What is the Cardiac muscle? |
-found only in heart -made of material called myocardium -makes heart pump, which circulates blood throughout body |
|
|
What is the Smooth muscles? |
-Muscle in walls of internal organs -found in stomach , intestines, blood vessels, bladder etc. |
|
|
What type of system is the Muscular? |
-is a controlling system -controls all body movement |
|
|
What is the interaction with the nervous system? |
-nervous system transports messages from brain to body -delivers messages to muscles about when and how to move |
|
|
What it the interactions with the digestive system |
-smooth muscles inside the stomach expands and contracts to squeeze food through -also control urination and defecation |
|
|
Common dysfunction of the Muscular System? |
-high stress on muscle cause stress and muscle fibres to break -common strained areas: hamstrings, groin, back, calf -stretching lengthens muscles, makes it less liekly to strain |
|
|
what is and interesting tech on the muscualar system? |
-IMS (intramuscular Stimulation) is as method used to relieve muscle tension -involves putting thin needle into the tense muscle -special machine then run electrical current through needle -current makes the muscle twitch, and relieves tension |
|
|

Behind of upper arm |
|
|
Where are the drugs hidden? |
In the white house
|
|
|
Where are the biceps found? |
In the front side of the upper arm |
|
|
where are the pectoralis located? |
On the chest from the shoulder to the breast bone |
|
|
Where are the rectus abdominis located? |
also known as abs, begins at the pubic bone to sternum. |
|
|
where are the hamstrings located? |
runs back of thigh |
|
|
Where are the quadriceps located? |
front of the thigh |
|
|
Where are the gastrocnemius located? |
back of the lower leg, part of calf |
|
|
What is the purpose of the circulatory system? |
-supply rest of systems with oxygen and nutrients |
|
|
What is the circulatory system made of? |
-heart,arteries, veins, liver, kidneys |
|
|
What is the heart? |
-pumps the blood |
|
|
what is the Artery? |
-splits into multiple veins and carries the blood from the heart elsewhere |
|
|
What are the veins? |
-carries the blood out of the arteries to the organs |
|
|
What is the liver? |
-takes the nutrients out of the blood and stores it until they are needed |
|
|
What is the Kidney? |
Purifies the blood and sends the waste matter to the excretory system |
|
|
What type of system is the circulatory system? |
-uses nutrients -heart requires nutrients to pump blood |
|
|
What system does the Circulatory system interact with? |
-muscular system and the skeletal system
|
|
|
How does the Circulatory system interact with the muscular system? |
-Circulatory system delivers nutrients and oxygen to muscles
|
|
|
How does the Circulatory system interact with the skeletal system? |
-blood in Circulatory system is created in the marrow of the bones |
|
|
What is the common disease of the Circulatory system ? |
-the heart attack |
|
|
What is the heart attack? |
-a myocardial infarction happens when fat hardens inside a vein and cause the muscle tissue to dies resulting in death if untreated |
|
|
What is an interesting tech in the Circulatory system ? |
The 3D stem cell printing
|
|
|
What is an stem cell? |
