Circulatory System
The circulatory system transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to your billions of body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide that body cells produce. It uses the following tissues: epithelial, muscular, connective, and nervous. an example is nervous tissue helping the brain to transmit messages to all of the components of the circulatory system. Without this tissue, the circulatory system would not function. It contains your heart, blood, veins, arteries, and your lymphatic system. This system helps you maintain homeostasis by delivering materials. If this homeostasis is disrupted, it can cause cells to become hurt or die. This could potentially be fatal. It works with your lymphatic system which returns fluid to your blood. It also works with your cardiovascular system. This system includes the heart, veins, capillaries, and arteries. It works with the circulatory system because they both involve pumping blood to your heart and throughout your body.
This is a video about the circulatory system. It mainly focuses on the cardiovascular system this is because it mainly focuses on your heart and blood/blood vessels. It specifically focuses on circulating blood around your body, heart contraction/relaxation, and electrical impulses.
"The circulatory system of man and the vertebrate animals can be considered as made up of a small number of organs or subordinate systems which are easy to recognize anatomically, and the functions of which are on the whole quite distinct."~ August Krogh- professor of zoology Image one: This is an image of arteriosclerosis. It is showing your artery becoming narrowed due to plaque build- up in your artery.
Image two: This shows hypertension or high blood pressure. It is showing a normal passageway and a narrow one that is hard for blood to get to which will cause high blood pressure and will over- work your heart. It also shows one with buildup which also causes a narrow passageway because it's a smaller tube for blood to run through, making it harder so your heart must beat harder. Image three: This is a diagram of Aortic aneurysm. It shows a weakening of the artery, causing an out pouching. |
Diseases:Arteriosclerosis- Fatty deposits in arteries forces walls to stiffen. This causes too much fat, cholesterol, and calcium; this restricts blood flow or severely stop it, which would result in heart attack or stroke.
Hypertension(high blood pressure)- Forces heart to work exceedingly hard and can lead to heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. Aortic aneurysm- This is caused by a damaged aorta that bulges or tears. This causes internal bleeding. This disease can result in obesity, high blood pressure or a combination of these conditions. "A systemic cleansing and detox is definitely the way to go after each holiday. It is the key to fighting high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, and other health-related illnesses."~ Lee Haney- body builder |
