Basic functions of the circulatory system |
Transports nutrients and waste Transports heat Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide Transports hormones through the blood stream Transports antibodies |
|
Arteries |
Carry blood to the heart Low the nutrients, delivers nutrients to each body cell Oxygen to cells |
|
Veins |
Carry away blood from the heart, waste products, excess fluid at each body cell Carbon dioxide from cells |
|
3 types of vessels |
Arteries, veins, capillaries |
|
Capillaries |
Blood drops oxygen to the cells, loads carbon dioxide |
|
4 components of the blood |
Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma |
|
Red blood cells |
Erythrocytes |
|
White blood cells |
Leokocytes |
|
Platelets |
Thrombecytes |
|
Anemia |
Capacity of the blood to transport oxygen is decreased Caused by internal bleeding, vitamin deficiencies, decreased RBC production, increase in RBC destruction by the Spleen Symptoms include the teeg chest pain, pallid, increased heart rate, difficulty breathing |
|
Heart attack (myocardial infarction) |
Coronary artery or branch of the coronary artery is blocked Symptoms include chest pain, crushing pressure behind the breastbone, natia, vomiting, difficulty breathing, anxiety or fear |
|
High blood pressure |
Hypertension Blood pressure is chronically elevated Tribute to coronary artery disease, strokes, kidney failure, and sudden rupture of the aorta, |
|
Atherosclerosis |
Build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries, restricts blood flow calmer fats and other particles confined to form plaque, calcium can be deposited by plaque and cause the area to harden |
|
Basic functions of the respiratory system |
Warm, moystyn, filter incoming air Resonating chambers for speech and sound production C02 and 02 gas exchange |
|
Nose |
Bony framework, cartilage, skin and mucous membrane lining |
|
Pharynx |
Final shaped tube located behind the mouth and naval cavity, above the larynx Kama includes the a sophagus, oropharynx, and laryngealpharynx |
|
Larynx |
Voicebox, contains vocal cords |
|
Trachea |
Windpipe, passageway for air, supported by cartilage rings to prevent collapse |
|
Bronchus/bronchiae |
2 large tubes that come off the trachea and enter the Lungs, the right primary brand is more vertical, wider, and shorter |
|
Bronchioles |
Phone guy continue to divide to form smaller tubes called bronchioles, passageway for air |
|
Alveoli |
Located at the end of the bronchioles, small air sacs, site of gas exchange in respiratory system |
|
Common cold |
Corza |
|
Pneumonia |
Inflamitory illness of the lung, lung inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling, caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemical and/or physical injury to the lungs |
|
Lung cancer |
uncontrolled cell growth in tissue of the lungs |
|
Asthma |
Reversible, obstructive airway disease Spasms of smooth muscle that line the wall of smaller bronchii and bronchioles |
|
Bronchitis |
Inflammation of the bronchii |
|
Tuberculosis |
Infectious, communicable disease that destroys the lung tissue |
|
Influenza |
Contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses |
|
Emphysema |
Alveoli become stretched out and cannot push CO2 and other pollutants out the lungs |
|
Basic functions of the immune system |
Provide immunity to the body by protecting against disease Identify and kill pathogens and tumor cells Produces white blood cells and antibodies Filter out organisms that cause disease |
|
Tonsils |
Lymohoid tissue that destroy harmful organisms that enter the body through the mouth |
|
Mouth |
Filters or traps foreign particles Contains white blood cells |
|
White blood cells |
Protect against infection and disease Produces in bone marrow and not released until needed |
|
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) |
Contagious disease compromising the immune system Caused by HIV |
|
human imunnodefiecency virus (HIV) |
affects T cells Attacks of RNA |
|
Lupus |
Chronic inflammatory, autominmmune disease affecting many organ systems |
|
Mononucleosis |
Infectious inflamitory disease |
