and in the lymphoid follicles associated with the digestive system such as the tonsils. Lymphoid tissues contain lymphocytes‚ but they also contain other types of cells for support.[3] The system also includes all the structures dedicated to the circulation and production of lymphocytes (the primary cellular component of lymph)‚ which includes the spleen‚ thymus‚ bone marrow‚ and the lymphoid tissue associated with the digestive system.[4] The blood does not directly come in contact with the parenchymal

pathways In classic endocrine signalling‚ a hormone carries a signal from a secretory gland across a large distance to a target tissue Hormones secreted into the extracellular space can also resulate nearby cells without ever passing though the systemic circulation This is referred to as paracrine regulation Chemicals that bind to receptor on or in the cell that is actually secreting the hormone and thus affect the funciotn of the hormone-secreting cell itself‚ this is referred to as autocrine regulation

concentration. External Respiration is the gas exchange between blood and the alveoli within the blood capillaries and result in gas moving down the concentration gradient. Internal Respiration is the gas exchange between blood and cells from the systemic capillaries within the heart that cause O2 to move into the blood from the tissues and CO2 in the bodies tissues to move into the blood. Describe how O2 and CO2 are carried in the blood. The red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest

which in 2010 affected over 35 million elderly adults worldwide [2]. How aging interacts with other risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease [3] is still unknown. It appears‚ however‚ that certain age-related pathologies that are closely associated with systemic dysfunctions in lipid metabolism –including obesity and diabetes –might be involved [1]. The polyunsaturated lipid‚ docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n-3)‚ is an essential component of neuronal membranes [4‚5] and a precursor for potent neuroprotective

The pulmonary circuit is made up of vessels that convey blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs‚ alveolar capillaries‚ and pulmonary veins leading from the lungs to the left atrium. 2. Carries the deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the lungs‚ and there by it brings the oxygen containing blood from lungs to the heart. Systemic Circuit : carrying blood from

Technology in Practice Part II: Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Background of Technology Before tThe intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) became a successful piece of technology‚ it was first introduced by Harken in 1958 in hopes of treating left heart failure (IABPumpers‚ 2006). Harken thought that by removing a certain amount of blood from both femoral arteries during systole‚ and rapidly replacing it during diastole‚ he could augment the cardiac output and increase coronary perfusion. However

After any injury‚ it is a natural response that the immune system will trigger it inane or adaptive immune to protect or limit the injury to it body. The adaptive immune response is antigen-specific and requires the recognition of specific "non-self" antigens during a process called antigen presentation. B cells and T cells are the major types of lymphocytes in the immune system. However‚ when an adaptive immune response develops against self-antigens autoimmune response occurs with the characteristic

tissues wouldn’t get oxygen and therefore not function and the person would not survive. The function of the left side of the heart is to take oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it out to and through the rest of the body. This is the systemic circulation of the heart. With every body system there are homeostatic imbalances and one for the cardiac system is heart failure. Heart failure on the left side can happen in two ways‚ systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. A systolic heart
