Cardiovascular system

Our body as we know it is a complex system as well as the class room environment where skill learning takes place. This is due to the multiple moving parts inside the systems. Complex systems also have other facets to them such as having multiple levels to them, having attractor states to do things in certain ways, having self-emergent discovery, affordances constraints, as well as things working together independently but together as a whole. Our bodies being complex as well as the class room…

Joanne’s body responds to hypovolemic shock by triggering the cardiovascular, renal, hematologic and neuroendocrine system for support. The Hematologic system responds to major blood loss by activating coagulation cascades and constricting the vessels that are currently bleeding by release of thromboxane A2 and platelets. What this does is form a colt on the bleeding site. Collagen is exposed by damaged vessels which cause fibrin production and stabilize the clots that have been formed. Usually…

8. Describe how stress and emotional factors can lead to the development and exacerbation of cardiovascular disorders, asthma, and tension headaches Well, stress can have a major impact on our bodies and can cause a myriad of illnesses. The reason why stress affects the body is because it is an innate response to a threat which causes your body to focus on the threat more than the other functions. While having these stressed for prolonged periods, it starts to take a tole on the body because of…

body system that most interests me is the skeletal system. I chose this system because of its unique and fascinating function in daily life. It is also not a very recognized system in comparison with the nervous, cardiovascular, or digestive systems. I have always had a fascination with this system considering all the sports injuries I’ve had and witnessed throughout my life. My orthopedic physician inspired me to have a career in a field that involved the skeletal system. The skeletal system…

complex system of cells, tissues, and organs working together to form systems. There are twelve systems total in the human body and they are: Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Immune, Lymphatic, Cardiovascular, Urinary, Digestive, Respiratory, Nervous, Endocrine, and Reproductive Systems. All the systems are important to the body to function as a whole. If one system is not working correctly, then results are fatal to that person. I believe that the most important systems are the…

The circulatory system is the system that transports nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormone. It also helps fight disease, maintain body temperature, pH, and homeostasis. There are two systems that make up the circulatory system which are the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. The circulatory system moves blood through the body and is made up of the heart, blood vessels and the blood. The lymphatic system moves lymph to various parts of the body and is formed by the lymph, lymph…

Homeostasis is a continuing balance of the body systems to maintain normal function. All systems within the body must work together to keep this balance. If one system should begin to function abnormally, it can throw off the body's entire homeostasis, or steady state. The cardiovascular systems distributes oxygen rich blood from the lungs to all of the body's organs and tissues by its heart pump and many arteries and veins. Cells throughout absorb what oxygen and nutrients are needed and then…

For over 55 years, humans have been flying in space. With an understanding of evolution, it has always been assumed that human bodies have adapted to the gravitational force found here on Earth. The space station and the shuttle that most NASA astronauts will stay in orbits 350 km above Earth, with a gravitational pull 90% stronger than it is on the ground (NASA Space Bones). Giancoli describes objects orbiting the Earth as feeling weightless because they are, in essence, free falling towards…

exercise the human body’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems must integrate and adapt to changing conditions—especially during incremental increases in submaximal exercise to maximal exercise. The coordination of cardiovascular and respiratory systems coalesce to form what is known as the cardiorespiratory system (Lotric & Stefanovska, 2000). Within muscle cells there are extremely limited stores for anaerobic energy; thus, a well-coordinated cardiovascular and respiratory system must be…

I potentially could be at risk for COPD, due to an Alpha- 1 antitrypsin deficiency, which my grandma may have had as well and may or may not have passed it down to me (she most likely did not have this deficiency, but you never know). Because of this potential, I want to focus on healthier habits, which my goals will explain. According to Köhnlein and Welte in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency: Pathogenesis, Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, and Treatment (2008), alpha- 1 antitrypsin deficiency is…
