they travel through the organs throughout the digestive system. • Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred energy source‚ and are found in the forms of starch‚ sugar and fibre. Additionally‚ carbohydrates move into the small intestine‚ where enzymes released by the pancreas break those carbohydrates into simple forms‚ so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. • Lipids that are consumed‚ are mainly fats.

primary functions of the circulatory system is to supply blood to all of its tissues‚ transport nutrients to its cells‚ and transport gas. The circulatory system also makes sure that thermoregulation‚ keeping internal environment within temperature range‚ takes place to maintain homeostasis. Lastly‚ the circulatory system keeps the body from harm by fixing any damages done to the body and providing protection against unwanted organisms. 3) The circulatory system itself has three major organs included

Cardio Vascular System The Heart The heartis a muscular pumping organ located medial to the lungs along the body’s midline in the thoracic region. The bottom tip of the heart‚ known as its apex‚ is turned to the left‚ so that about 2/3 of the heart is located on the body’s left side with the other 1/3 on right. The top of the heart‚ known as the heart’s base‚ connects to the great blood vessels of the body: theaorta‚ vena cava‚ pulmonary trunk‚ and pulmonary veins. Circulatory Loops There are

Musculoskeletal: The human musculoskeletal system or the locomotor system is made from cartilage‚ bones‚ ligaments‚ tendons and muscles. This system give humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system is being controlled by the nervous system to provide voluntary movements. The skeletal system and the muscle system maintain to posture and produce heat for the body. Increased blood supply: As people start to exercise the muscles will start wanting

Question 1 Skeletal System The skeletal system is a strong yet light‚ flexible living framework that supports the body‚ protects delicate internal organs and makes movement possible. In addition‚ our bones store minerals while red bone marrow produces blood cells. Support The skeleton provides a frame that shapes the body and holds it up. Within the skeleton different characteristics of support can be identified. As the body’s main axis‚ the backbone provides support to the trunk with its upper

The inflammatory pathology of the nervous system Any of the etiologic agents of infection may give determinations to the nervous system. Usually these are secondary locations of other infections in the body: infectious diseases‚ endocarditis‚ pulmonary and urinary infections‚ regional inflammations etc. The pathways by which pathogens reach the bodies nervous system are: through blood pressure‚ arteries or veins‚ dissemination of nearby (eg the sinuses‚ internal ear‚ etc..) or through neuronal

The Cardiovascular System The heart is one the primary organs in our body. The cardiovascular (CV) system is made up of the heart‚ the blood and the vessels through which blood travels. The CV system works in sequence with the respiratory system to maintain homeostasis. The heart acts as a pump which move the blood through the blood vessels to the tissues and organs of the body. This allows the CV system to help maintain homeostasis by enabling it to carry out its four major functions
