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

Kayla Burkette The Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is one of the most important systems in our body. It is critical to our body’s ability to detoxify‚ nourish and regenerate tissue‚ filter out metabolic waste and inorganic material‚ and maintain a healthy immune system. The system is a vascular network of tubules and ducts that collect‚ filter‚ and return lymph to blood circulation. Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma‚ which exits blood vessels at capillary beds. This fluid

Systems’ thinking is derived from viewing elements and components that work together in relationships for the overall good of the vision or the whole. Every aspect of our lives is involved in a system whether it is electronics‚ biology‚ organizations‚ relationships‚ or ecology. By being able to recognize these systems we can focus on facts‚ not theories‚ and can look at a problem or issue understanding better where it came from‚ why it happened‚ and how to improve it. "Systems thinking is a discipline

Cardiovascular The cardiovascular system is consists of the heart and network of arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries that transport blood throughout the body. There are two primary circulatory loops in the human body: the pulmonary circulation loop and the systemic circulation loop. The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a closed fist that functions as the body’s circulatory pump. It takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it

Cardiovascular disease is a common chronic illness in our society and it causes over half the deaths in the US each year. It affects all aspects of the heart. It affects the arteries that supply blood to the heart‚ the valves which pumps the blood and the heart muscles‚ itself. People who don’t take care of themselves can develop cardiovascular disease‚ which can cause heart attacks‚ congestive heart failure or strokes. A patient’s risk of cardiovascular disease increases if

The Lymphatic System The Lymphatic System is very important. It helps with the Cardiovascular system‚ and our immune systems. The Lymphatic System is made up of two semi-independent parts. One is a network of lymphatic vessels. The other part is various lymphoid tissues and organs all over the body. The functions of the Lymphatic System transporting fluids that have escaped from the blood vascular system‚ and the organs house phagocytic cells and lymphocytes. Lymphatic vessels are an elaborate

"Systems thinking" involves thinking in loops rather than in straight lines. Because all parts of a system are interrelated‚ if change becomes initiated in one part of the system all parts will be impacted in a ripple effect all the way back to the original action – this is called a feedback loop. Discuss how a feedback loop would benefit a change initiative within an organization. Most systems have feedback loops‚ which enforce communication in some type of way. If an organization implements a

Cardiovascular Dynamics Vessel Resistance Key Terms: 1. Blood flow- the amount of blood moving through a body area or the entire cardiovascular system in a given amount of time. 2. Pheriphial resistance- the opposition to blood flow resulting from the friction developed as blood streams through blood vessels. 3. Viscosity- A measure of the “thickness” of the blood and is caused by the presence of proteins and formed elements in the plasma 4. Systole 5. Diastole 6. End diastolic volume

most important systems in the body is the lymphatic system. One of many functions in the lymphatic system is to cleanse leaked plasma of bacteria and other foreign substances and return it to the blood stream. This also acts as a surveillance system for immune system cells. Another function of the lymphatic system is to stop or slow pathogen entry‚ prevent disease-causing microorganisms from spreading and to strengthen the response of the immune system. Also‚ the lymphatic system protects against
