CIRCULATORY SYSTEM Delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body to cells and removes waste products such as carbon dioxide

Maintaining homeostasis
Blood vessels such as veins, arteries, capillaries help dilate to maintain homeostasis. For an example when the body detects a rapid increase in temperature vessels will tend to dilate which allows more blood to flow through, releases the excess heat
Heart Attack

heart attacks can lead to irregular heart beats

a normal resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute

it can vary with a person having a heart attack


(Heart attack - Symptoms and causes, 2020)



treatment for a heart attack

take aspirin

begin cpr on the affected patient if they are unconscious

Call 911 right away

Symptoms

pressure or squeezing

chest pain or discomfort

diagram displaying how your heart looks when a heart attack is present

(Heart attack - Symptoms and causes, 2020)

to help prevent them

Be careful of your diet take care of your body

blood flow being blocked to the heart

with no blood flow the muscles in the heart begin to die

if not restored in time

it can lead to serious life threatening problems

death

heart failure

permanent heart damage

Pulmonary

Pulmonary circulation allows the flow of the blood to go away from the heart where then oxygenation occurs and returns back to the heart again

Systemic and Pulmonary Circuit

(Circulatory Pathways | SEER Training, 2022)

Systemic

Systemic circulation flow blood away from the heart to the brain, liver, kidneys, stomach, other organs, limbs, muscles of the body and then return this blood to the heart

Veins

3rd Type of blood vessel in your body that takes deoxygenated blood from your body back to your heart to be breathed out by your lungs

(Body, 2021)

Blood

Blood provides our body cells with oxygen and removes waste like carbon dioxide from cells

(Cade Hildreth (CEO, 2018)

Capillaries

2ed Type of blood vessel that are super tiny which pass oxygen and food nutrients each body cell as well as take away

(Capillary Fluid Exchange Video, 2021)

Arteries

1st Type of blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery) away from your heart to all body cells

(Rimas Gilvydis, 2019)

Alveoli

Alveoli is located where the lungs and blood exchange carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and out

(L.W, 2020)

Heart

made up of 3 layers of tissues

made up of a overall tissue called- cardiac muscle

1- Endocardium --> thin layer of lining around the heart chambers which forms the surface of the valves

2 -Myocardium --> heart chambers to contract which then also relax your body to pump blood by the thick layer of muscle in your heart

3- Pericardium --> sac around the heart

(Seladi-Schulman, 2019)

The heart is a network of blood vessels that beats to pump blood through all the blood vessels to the rest of your body

(Anatomy of a Human Heart, 2020)

Coronary

Subtopic

Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle

Most common disease Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

(Coronary Artery Disease: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatments, 2022)

2 Medical Examples used to monitor CAD

Cardiac CT Scan

Imaging test using x-rays to take very close up and detailed images of your heart and blood vessels

(Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) Scan - University of Ottawa Heart Institute, 2019)

EKG (Electrocardiogram, ECC)

Most effective and easy to use to check for any coronary artery disease signs/symptoms

ECG device shown on patient

(Esposito, 2016)

ECG Monitor

(Mitroff, 2019)

this device test is avoided for people who don't experience any of the following diseases for the disease or have not had previous heart attacks

displays the electrical signal from your heart

waves shown on a monitor

can detect your heartbeat and when it is abnormal which could by decreased waves

it can detect blocked arteries which is known as the Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

(Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) - Mayo Clinic, 2020)

this test lasts a couple minutes

avoid oily and greasy creams the day of the test

painless test which helps to decrect for any heart problems

How a coronary Artery Disease is treated

An inflated balloon is pushed through the catheter to improve the blood flow in your arteries

(Coronary artery disease - Diagnosis and treatment - Mayo Clinic, 2020)

to keep the dialed arteries open a tube (stent) is used

ways to prevent a CAD

(NHS Choices, 2022)

get your heart beat up

become more active

stop smoking

healthy diets

feeling week or light headed

shortness of breath

chest pains

Blockage of coronary arteries caused by plaque a fatty build-up material. Continuous plaque collected on artery walls will narrow your arteries. Plaque can also damage arteries which stops blood from flowing to your heart muscle which can add on to other many diseases and risks.

Physiology
Cardiac Cycle Steps

Main purpose of this cycle is to pump blood to the heart

Cardic cycle

(Phases of the Cardiac Cycle, 2017)

key notes

blood is being flowed from higher to lower pressure

quick youtube video explaining in animations

i really liked this youtube video as it really helps explain the cardiac cycle is detail along with animations which help visuals learns like me!

link to youtube video

start at one minute

(Alila Medical Media, 2017)

click the red youtube button on the right and start at 1 minute

phase one (diastole)

the heart chambers are fully relaxed and blood is starting to flow into the heart

phase two (Atrial systole; ventricular diastole)

the heart chambers are contracting and the blood is being pushed to the ventricles

phase three (Atrial Diastole; ventricular systole)

after the atrial is relaxed, the ventricles contract which pushes the blood out to leave the heart

Respiratory System Move fresh air into your whole body while removing all waste gases



Lower Respiratory System

Rib Cage

(How does the rib cage help me breathe? | Functions of Muscles, 2021)

(Shaughnessy, J, 2021 20)

assists in breathing

Shows inhaling vs exhaling

(The respiratory system, 2019)

by using a pair of muscles between each rib

external intercostals

helps when breathing out (expiration)

internal intercostals

helps when breathing in (inspiration)

keeps the heart, major blood vessels and lungs protected by its cage, protects from physical damage

Diaphragm

slim layer of muscle at the bottom of the ribcage


Diaphragm breathing gif

(Gfycat, 2013)

it moves up and down when changing the volume of the lungs

when air is exhaled

rib cage contracts and drops downward causing the diaphragm to move up

this causes the lung volume to decrease

when air is inhaled

rib cage expands and moves upward causing the diaphragm to move down

this causes the lung volume to increase

Alveoli (Air sac)

made up of:

two differents jobs ^

(Shaughnessy, J, 2021 17)

(Hecht, 2018)


carbon dioxide diffuses to alveoli

These two are done during the process of exhaling and inhaling

0xygen and carbon dioxide being exchanged

Capilaries

blood vessels in the walls of alveoli

perfusion

pumping blood through your lungs

oxygen diffuses into blood

Lungs

this area contains the heart, trachea, esophagus

(Anatomy of the Lung | SEER Training, 2022)


sound protection

gif breathing in & out

(Pumping, Beating Heart, Breathing Lungs And Organ Animations | Lunges, Animation, Giphy, 2022)

of course allows us to breathe

inahing or allowing oxygen into our bodies and removing or exhaling carbon dioxide

exchange is called respiration

Bronchiole tubes

Bronichole

(Inflamed bronchial tubes in asthma | NorthShore, 2021)

airway narrowed by a lung disease asthma

vs

airway shown when healthy

deliver tiny air sacs called alveoli

oxygen and carbon dioxide are being exchanged

air passages inside the lungs branch off the bronchi

to the alveolar sac

Homeostasis

example

Gas exchange

(CK-12 Foundation, 2022)

(Gas Exchange | Boundless Anatomy and Physiology, 2013)

gas exchange in alveoli in the lungs

helps maintain acid-base balance or pH levels in the body

blood passes through tiny capillaries in the alveolar sacs

allowing carbon dioxide and oxygen to go in and out of the body

this is done by changing pressure gradients

Bronchi

2 main bronchi

One in your right lung

Travels to the right lung

divides into smaller bronchi to enter the 3 lobes and is shorter

(Bronchial Tubes Structure, Functions, & Location | Bronchus Anatomy, 2017)

One in your left lung

Travels to the left lung

divides into smaller bronchi to enter the 2 lobes and is smaller

Bronchioles detailed picture

(Bronchioles Illustration, 2010)

Cartilage

keeps the bronchi from collapsing when inhaling and exhaling

lined with mucous membranes

this layer is a barrier to inhaled pathogens

which help prevent infections

passageways which connect your windpipe(trachea) to your lungs


waste gases (carbon dioxide) is eliminated from the body

body's tissue receives oxygen

Trachea

(the, 2018)

Cartilage rings


allowing the trachea to close somewhat where food can pass down to the esophagus

keeps it rigid so it doesn't collapse when breathing

Cartilage ring shown in the trachea

(The, 2016)

contains vocal cords

when they vibrate

it produces human speech or sound

hollow tube which allows air pass from your throat to your trachea then lungs.

Larynx broken down

(Larynx Anatomy: Image Details - NCI Visuals Online, 2012)

Chronic Bronchitis

affects smokers the most

people with this disease tend to get more lung infections

(Chronic Bronchitis, 2013)

affects carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange

reduces the flow of carbon dioxide a waste gas leaving out body and oxygen coming inside of our body

due to the muscles swelling and becoming tighter

long term inflammation of the bronchi

Asthma

(Using a Peak Flow Meter to Manage Asthma | AAFA.org, 2020)

muscles around the airway become tightened

chest pain

shortness of breathe

Medical device that is used to monitor

Peak flow meters

can measure narrowing hours

before you even have any symptoms

Peak flow meter being demonstrated

(Health, 2020)

measures how air moves out of your lungs

very difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs

the airways are inflamed which is just another word for swollen which produces lots of thick mucus

internal and external respiration

(shaughnessy, J 2021 Mechanism of Breathing (9,11)

internal respiration

the air pressure in your lungs increase

this is because the air rushes out of your lungs

between capillaries and cells

where the blood delivers oxygen to the cells and receives carbon dioxide from cells

The diaphragm moves up which allows it to rest

ribs move down and in

Labeled diagram displaying internal vs external respiration

(Aldona Griškevičienė, 2020)

external respiration

the air pressure in your lungs decrease

which pulls air into lungs

oxygen moves from lungs to RBC (red blood cells)

red blood cells release oxygen into the alveoli

between alveoli and blood

The diaphragm moves down as it contracts

the muscles between the ribs contract which pulls the ribs up and out

Upper Respiratory System

Throat (Pharynx)


Used for food, liquids and to breathe air

pushes food into the esophagus so that it is not breathed in

Body immune defences found in the throat

adenoids

Adenoids & Adenoidectomies

(Adenoids and Adenoidectomies (for Kids) - Nemours KidsHealth, 2019)

traps harmful viruses or bacteria we breathe in

it can also block all of the airflow through the nasal passages

mass of lymphoid tissue; near the back of the nose

tonsils

filter bacteria and viruses to make sure nothing harmful goes in our lungs

located near the throat

Back of your mouth

can be controlled by a good diet

symptoms

bloating, cramping, gas

feeling depressed

effects the large intestine

Structure & Function
Rectum

Lower part of the large intestine where stool is stored until it can be pushed out of your anus

(Digestive System: Function, Organs & Anatomy, 2021)

Cecum

First part of the large intestine, receives any undigested food material from the small intestine

Pancreas

inside the abdomen, behind the stomach, creates pancreatic juices called enzymes.

Lipase

breaks down triglycerides into glycerol and fat free acids, fat digesition

Trypsin Enzymes

Helps us digest proteins

Breaks down sugars, fats and starches

mostly produced in the pancreas, stomach and small intestine

Liver

Eliminating cholesterol, hormones, drugs, bilirubin

Bilirubin

produced when old red blood cells break down, yellowish orange substance found in bile formed in the liver

Stores vitamins, minerals and glycogen

produces bile

Gallbladder

Sac located under the liver

digestive juice to breakdown the fat in foods

Synthesis of plasma proteins

ex: albumin

Blood passes through the liver as it leaves the stomach and intestines which then the liver processes this blood and breaks down, creates nutrients and metabolizes drugs into different types of forms that are easy for the rest of the body to use

Liver + Main function

(The Digestive Process: The Liver and its Many Functions, 2022)

Intestines

Large Intestine

From the undigested food water gets absorbed and forms a waste material

(Small & Large Intestine | SEER Training, 2022)


Detailed large intestine

(NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms, 2021)

Small Intestine

(The Digestive Process: What Does the Small Intestine Do? | University Hospitals, 2021)

villi

protrusions

cell that lines the surface of your body

Cells that line up the small intestine

increases the surface area to help the absorption in digested food by thicker cells that line up

Ileum

3rd and final section of digestion in the small intestine where absorption of bile acids, fluid and vitamin B-12 take place

Microvilli

helps the absorption of non-digested food along with water molecules

epithelial cells

lining the intestine to increase the surface area

Jejunum

2nd phase to further help digest food that comes from the stomach. Specifically absorbs nutrients and water which can be used up by the body

Duodenum

1st phase to complete digestion, where the food from the stomach is mixed with enzymes from the pancreases which help break down the food

Pancreases

Make pancreatic juice (enzymes) which help break down sugars, fats and starches

nutrients aka vitamins, protein, fats, carbohydrates and water are absorbed from food in this organ so they can be used up by the body

The stomach

an organ that holds the digestive juices of food while being varied with stomach enzymes.

The acid in your stomach varies from 1.5 to 2.5 of a pH level which is highly acidic but is required for the chemical breakdown of the food. Once broken down the food is passed to your small intestine. Chemical and mechanical digestion is shown in the stomach. (Stomach: Anatomy, Function, Diagram, Parts Of, Structure, 2022)

Pepsin enzyme

breaks down the proteins in the food during digestion

Stomach enzymes again help the process to break down foods

The esophagus

tube that carries food and liquid from you mouth to the stomach

The muscles in your esophagus help bring food down to your stomach to digest.

Lower esophageal sphincter

muscle of ring which forms a valve near the lowest end of the esophagus where it joins the stomach

The lower esophageal sphincter also known as the (LES) also remains closed expect only when swallowing and allowing food to pass down from the esophagus to the stomach. The reason being the LES closes is because it prevents the stomach acid from returning back up the esophagus which leads to heart burns along with a major disease GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)

(Lower esophageal sphincter (LES), 2019)

Peristalsis is a series of wave like movements the muscles of the esophagus does to help push the food to the stomach

wave-like movements

(Peristalsis image, 2022)

The mouth

The digestion of the food begins with the mouth as food enters and chewing helps break the food into smaller pieces

Food begins the digestion process in the mouth as our teeth help us chew food into smaller pieces along with saliva digesting starches and fats with the help of enzymes. The tongue then helps to move the chewed up pieces of food into the esophagus by swallowing. (Ch. 1 Introduction - Biology 2e | OpenStax, 2018)

Salivary glands then make saliva which helps food move more easily through.

The saliva also helps breaks down the starches in your food because it contains enzyme

Amylase enzyme

helps digest food

Digestive enzymes are proteins in saliva that can turn nutrients into substances by quick chemical reactions that is easier for our digestive system to absorb

(Enzymes: What Are Enzymes, Pancreas, Digestion & Liver Function, 2022)

Mouth in detail
