The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory system‚ is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and blood. The term cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio-) and blood vessels (vascular). The term circulatory refers to the circulation of the blood. The heart is a muscular pump and its regular contractions send blood into tough‚ elastic tubes called arteries‚ which branch into smaller vessels and convey oxygen-rich blood through the body. The arteries eventually divide into tiny capillaries

multi- party system rather than a two party system. Discuss. A political two party system is one where two parties have complete dominance over voting‚ in terms of seats and the general vote.

the anatomy and physiology of these three body systems; The Cardiovascular system‚ The Respiratory system and The Digestive system. The Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory system‚ consists of the heart‚ blood vessels and approximately 5 litres of blood. 55% of the blood is straw coloured yellow and 45% of the blood is made up of red and white blood cells and tiny particles called platelets. This system is powered by the heart and is responsible for

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.

Body Systems Intergumentary- The integumentary system consists of the skin‚ hair‚ nails‚ glands‚ and nerves. The main function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside. It also retains body fluids‚ protects against disease‚ eliminate waste products‚ and regulates the body temperature. Cardio Vascular- The cardiovascular system carries blood‚ oxygen‚ and nutrients to organs and tissues of the body. It also carries waste and carbon dioxide from these tissues for removal from

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

Paula Radcliffe Skeletal The long term effects of Paula’s skeletal system is that her bones will get stronger‚ this is due to the bones density increasing‚ and calcium increasing in the bones. Another effect is that her ligaments would become more flexible. This is due to the elasticity increasing‚ therefore reducing any risk of injury from a pulled/ripped ligament. The amount of synovial fluid she produces would also go up. This would help her‚ because synovial lubricates the

Buffer systems * prevent major changes in pH of body fluids by removing or releasing H+ * act quickly to prevent excessive changes in H+ concentration. Body’s major extracellular buffer system is “bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer system”. There are 20 parts of (HCO3) to one part of (H2CO3). ---- [20:1]. When the ratio is no longer maintained‚ it will result to acid-base imbalance. Carbon dioxide is a potential acid; when dissolved in water‚ it becomes carbonic acid. Lungs under the
