SYSTEM CONCEPTS A system can be simply defined as a group of interrelated or interacting elements forming a unified whole. Many examples of systems can be found in the physical and biological sciences‚ in modern technology‚ and in human society. Thus‚ we can talk of the physical system of the sun and its planets‚ the biological system of the human body‚ the technological system of an oil refinery‚ and the socioeconomic system of a business organization. A system is a group of interrelated components

areas‚ Governments in each country are creating health systems that aim to provide services that are affordable‚ equitable and accessible. To achieve a sustainable health system‚ cooperation and participation of all health care providers is vital. This will work towards WHO’s goal of achieving “better health for all” (WHO‚ 2013). One of the systems‚ structured by the United Kingdom (UK)‚ is called the National Health Service (NHS). This system is generally publicly funded. To allow this‚ the UK government

functions have certain basic characteristics that permit transient and steady-state analyses of the feedback-controlled system. Five factors of prime importance in feedback-control systems are stability‚ the existence and magnitude of the steady-state error‚ controllability‚ observability‚ and parameter sensitivity. The stability characteristic of a linear time-invariant system is determined from the system’s characteristic equation. Routh’s stability criterion provides a means for determining stability

Circulatory System The human body is made up of many different systems that perform our basic life functions. One such system is the circulatory system. This system transports oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissues within the body and carries away waste products. In performing these functions the circulatory system is associated with other systems in the body. The circulatory system is made up of the heart‚ blood and blood vessels. The heart is the main component of the circulatory system. It
