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
