The Circulatory System

The circulatory system review

The circulartory system transports nutrients and oxygen through the whole body.

Veins 静脉

Veins are blood vessels located throughout your body that collect oxygen-poor blood and return it to your heart. Veins are part of your circulatory system. They work together with other blood vessels and your heart to keep your blood moving. Veins hold most of the blood in your body.

Arteries 动脉

Arteries, part of your circulatory (cardiovascular) system, are the blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood from your heart to all of your body’s cells. They play a crucial role in distributing oxygen, nutrients and hormones throughout your body.

Capillaries(毛细血管)

Capillaries are delicate blood vessels that exist throughout your body. They transport blood, nutrients and oxygen to cells in your organs and body systems. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in your vascular system.

Heart 心脏

The hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood through the body of a vertebrate animal by contracting and relaxing. In humans and other mammals, it has four chambers, consisting of two atria and two ventricles(两个心房,两个心室).

The Urinary System 泌尿系统

Kidneys 肾脏

One of a pair of organs in the abdomen. The kidneys remove waste and extra water from the blood (as urine 尿) and help keep chemicals (such as sodium, potassium, and calcium) balanced in the body. The kidneys also make hormones that help control blood pressure and stimulate bone marrow(刺激骨髓)to make red blood cells.

Ureters

The ureters are bilateral thin tubular structures with a 3 to 4 mm diameter that connect the kidneys to the urinary bladder. These muscular tubes transport urine from the renal pelvis(肾盂) to the bladder.

Bladder 膀胱

Introduction. The bladder is a subperitoneal, hollow muscular organ that acts as a reservoir for urine. The bladder is located in the lesser pelvis when empty and extends into the abdominal cavity when full.

Urethra 尿道

The urethra is the tube that lets urine leave your bladder and your body.

In charge making food and energy for our bodies.

Morcellation involves cutting uterine or fibroid tissue into smaller pieces to allow removal laparoscopically, vaginally or through smaller cuts on your abdomen.

chew: to crush food into smaller, softer pieces with the teeth so that it can be swallowed; physical breakdown

hydrolysis: enzymatic breakdown; a chemical reaction in which one substance reacts with water to produce another

bolus: a small round lump of a substance, especially partly digested food

Homeostasis 体内平衡

Homeostasis, an ideal, balanced state. Disruptions to these feedback loops can affect homeostasis and lead to disease.

Homeostasis describes the tendency for an organism to maintain stable internal conditions.

Diseases

Diabetes 糖尿病

For example, diabetes is a disease caused by disruptions to the feedback loop involving insulin. Because of these disruptions, it is difficult or impossible for the body to bring high blood glucose down to an optimal level. This can be harmful to the body, causing damage to the kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.

In type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, glucose remains in the bloodstream, resulting in high blood glucose levels. Individuals with type 1 diabetes require regular insulin injections or insulin pump therapy to manage their blood sugar levels.

In type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin. Despite the presence of insulin, glucose is not effectively taken up by the cells, resulting in high blood glucose levels. Management of type 2 diabetes includes lifestyle changes, oral medications, and sometimes insulin injections if the pancreas has lost its ability to make its own insulin.
