Assessment 2 – Congestive Cardiac Failure 1. Mr Wright’s admission states that he has CCF (congestive cardiac failure). Clearly define CCF. What organs and which body systems are affected by this disorder? Congestive cardiac failure defined Congestive cardiac failure (CCF) is a progressive disease of the heart‚ which involves loss of pumping ability by the heart. Congestive cardiac failure occurs when the myocardium loses its ability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s metabolic needs and is

hypothalamus is shaped like a cone and ends in the pituitary stalk‚ a part of the pituitary gland. It forms the major portion of the ventral region of diencephalons‚ and oversees autonomic and metabolic processes. The hypothalamus is the connection between the nervous system and the endocrine system‚ creating this link by producing and secreting neurohormones that in turn stimulate the anterior pituitary gland to secrete hormones. The hypothalamus is central in the regulation of body temperature‚ hunger

is a study of the structure and function of the human body. The course covers in detail the human body from its biochemical and sub cellular aspects through tissues. Special emphasis is given the integumentary‚ skeletal‚ muscular‚ nervous‚ and endocrine systems. The lecture and laboratory are correlated to provide an overview of the interrelationships of normal human anatomy and physiology. Biology 111 meets the general education requirement for group II-science. b. Learning Outcomes for this

It also links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. Pons It contains bundles of axons travelling between the cerebellum and the rest of the CNS. Pituitary Gland It secrets some hormones which help regulate the functions of other endocrine glands. Pineal Gland It secrets the hormone melatonin‚ which is involved in maintaining the normal sleep cycle of the body. 3. The cerebrum folds
