Colin Tube 12-7-15 Anatomy Cardiovascular System The Cardiovasuclar system is one of the most important systems in your body and it is also one of the largest systems in your body. This system consists of the heart‚ and a system of vessels called arteries‚ veins and capillaries. They are responsible for transporting‚ nutrients hormones‚ oxygen and waste throughout the body. All of these play an important part in this system and the system would fall apart if one wasn’t there. This system is is

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM The Cardiovascular system consists of the cardio -heart and the vessels that carry blood to all parts of the body. If this system does not work properly then oxygen‚ hormones‚ water‚ nutrients and wastes won’t reach their target destinations. 5 liters of blood in body. BLOOD Blood is a fluid connective tissue and Plasma is the matrix that separates the red and white blood cells and the platelets from one another. Plasma also transports dissolved substances such

The human body has to be controlled from advanced systems internally of which connect in order to function effectively. There are ten main systems within the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed

The Effects Drinking Soda Has on the Human Body Have you ever popped open a can of soda and wondered‚ “This is delicious! But I wonder what it could do to my body.” Well‚ not a lot of people do think that‚ and only the people drinking the soda really know why they don’t question it.

These sodas can cause

Introduction Cardiovascular Dynamics and the Cardiovascular Physiology experiments both have multiple goals. The first experiment aims to understand how blood flow‚ pressure gradient‚ and resistance relate to one another. To understand this‚ resistance and contributing factors‚ such as vessel radius‚ viscosity‚ and vessel length must be studied. The effects of vessel radius and stroke volume on the ventricular pump should also examined. The experiment also calls for an understanding of cardiovascular compensation

ergot are all derivatives of lysergic acid. LSD is a semi-synthetic derivative of lysergic acid. Thus LSD is an "ergot" - like substance. The drug evokes dreamlike changes in mood and thought and alters the perception of time and space. It can also create a feeling of lack of self-control and extreme terror. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) also goes by names like: acid‚ sugar‚ Blotter‚ Sugar Cubes‚ Blue Unicorn‚ Acid‚ Cid‚ Sid‚ Bart Simpsons‚ Barrels‚ Tabs‚ Blotter‚ Heaven ly blue

What is ‘disease’? Definition The term disease is the condition of the living‚ which leads to a disorder of the mind or body‚ which therefore destroys good health. (S-Cool A-Level). Biology online states that disease is a ‘pathologic condition in which the normal functioning of an organism or body is impaired or disrupted‚ resulting in extreme pain‚ dysfunction‚ distress or death.’ (Biology Online) Disease throughout History Over the years‚ there has ‘been a gradual decline in mortality from all

The function of the digestive system is to absorb and assimilate key nutrients which are required to maintain and regulate other systems in the body. Enzymes secreted within the digestive system have a role of breaking down food from proteins into amino acids‚ starch into glucose and fats into a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the
