up of many different systems. “These systems include the integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, urinary system, and reproductive systems.” (Lutz, 2013) All of these systems are used to make the body function properly, but the main systems that are well known are the skeletal system, muscular system, and the cardiovascular system. The skeletal system is primarily about bones

Milestone 2 Organ System Interrelationship and Disease Assessment David Norton BIO 210 Professor Price The Interactions between the Circulatory system and the Respiratory systems are: • Oxygen is an essential part of the metabolic process of nearly all cells in the human body. Oxygen is gathered through the respiratory system and transported through the body via the blood and circulatory system. • The circulatory and respiratory system work together to eliminate waste product carbon dioxide •

Brittany Pilcher Unit 4 Test Short Answer Questions Explain the role of the Renin-angiotensin mechanism in its control of blood pressure through the kidneys. The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Mechanism: influences blood pressure and blood volume, with its ability to regulate aldosterone, thus meaning it can regulate water and sodium reabsorption by the kidneys. The juxtaglomerular complexes in the kidneys are cells that get excited due to decreasing in blood volume and or blood pressure. The

major effect of acidosis is depression of the central nervous system. When the pH of the blood falls below 7.35, the central nervous system malfunctions, and the individual becomes disoriented and possibly comatose as the condition worsens. Causes for acidosis include things such as; obesity, disease of the airway and diseases involving the chest. (Hadjiliadis, 2014) A major effect of alkalosis is hyperexcitability of the nervous system. Peripheral nerves are affected first, resulting in spontaneous

are connected by ducts in the throat. B.) What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. A Cough reflex is a long-drawn in and deep inhalation followed by a complete closure of the glottis, which results in a strong exhalation that suddenly pushes the glottis open and sends a blast of air through the upper respiratory passages. This process is clearing her lungs by forcing foreign bodies out of the larynx, trachea and

Briefly describe the importance of the interaction between the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in maintaining the body’s internal balance Both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems are jointly essential for a particular purpose - delivering oxygen to our bodies, and for extracting and expelling carbon monoxide from them (Dr Adam Cloe, livestrong.com/article 18606, 2011). “The cardiovascular system…consists of three interrelated components: blood, the heart, and blood vessels, respectively

spread into her sinuses? The infection in Cari’s nasal passages and pharynx was able to spread into her sinuses due to the sinuses being a drainage area for the nasal passages. B. What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. The cough reflex is used to clear sputum and irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes or abundant

10/07/2011 1. Describe the interdependency of structure and function in the human body. Physiology depends on anatomy; anatomy is study of the structures in the body, physiology is the study of the functions of those structures. In other words, without structure there is no function. Physiology depends on anatomy, the operation or function of a structure is dictated by its anatomy. Anatomy and physiology are really inseparable because function always reflects structure. For example, oxygen and

Lab report As part of my module Nip1002 I was required to perform a set of observational skills which included; pulse, blood pressure, respirations, hand washing and urinalysis and then compare them to previous results. In this lab report I am going to discuss blood pressure in detail. Procedure * Explain the procedure to the patient and gain consent * Wash hands thoroughly following the hand wash technique to prevent the transfer of bacteria * Clean equipment e.g. blood pressure cuff
