The Cardiovascular System

Paper details: The fin" rel="nofollow">inal project for this course is the creation of a PowerPoin" rel="nofollow">int presentation in" rel="nofollow">investigatin" rel="nofollow">ing one organ system. The overall task of this assignment is to identify and in" rel="nofollow">investigate the anatomy and physiology of one organ system in" rel="nofollow">in the body, to assess how this primary organ system in" rel="nofollow">interacts with a secondary organ system, and to in" rel="nofollow">investigate one specific disease that affects the primary organ system. It is hard to imagin" rel="nofollow">ine that 11 in" rel="nofollow">intricate body systems are workin" rel="nofollow">ing together all at the same time to main" rel="nofollow">intain" rel="nofollow">in homeostasis, i.e., keepin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">internal conditions within" rel="nofollow">in an optimal range. As you read this, your body is performin" rel="nofollow">ing hundreds of tasks. Your brain" rel="nofollow">in is processin" rel="nofollow">ing the sensory in" rel="nofollow">information that you are readin" rel="nofollow">ing, your heart is pumpin" rel="nofollow">ing your blood throughout your body, your small in" rel="nofollow">intestin" rel="nofollow">ine is breakin" rel="nofollow">ing down your last meal, and this list goes on and on. Anatomy is the study of the structures that comprise the body and physiology is the study of the functionin" rel="nofollow">ing of how the anatomical structures work together to achieve a certain" rel="nofollow">in task. This fin" rel="nofollow">inal project provides an opportunity to explore one of the 11 body systems and communicate your knowledge and in" rel="nofollow">insights on human anatomy with your peers. Please avoid the use of sites like Wikipedia and Ask.com, as they are not considered academically reliable. Specifically, the followin" rel="nofollow">ing critical elements must be addressed: 1. Describe the anatomy of the primary organ system in" rel="nofollow">in 2–3 slides, ensurin" rel="nofollow">ing that you: a. Provide a description of the organ system’s location as presented in" rel="nofollow">in the anatomical position within" rel="nofollow">in the human body. b. Describe the organs and structures contain" rel="nofollow">ined in" rel="nofollow">in this organ system. c. Identify key cell or tissue types contain" rel="nofollow">ined in" rel="nofollow">in this organ system. d. Provide a labeled diagram or image illustratin" rel="nofollow">ing the organ system’s location relative to other organ systems. 2. Explain" rel="nofollow">in the physiology of the organ system in" rel="nofollow">in 2–3 slides, in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing: a. A description of the major physiological functions of the organ system. b. A labeled diagram or image illustratin" rel="nofollow">ing one of the functions of the organ system. 3. Describe the relationship of the primary organ system to a secondary organ system in" rel="nofollow">in 2–3 slides, specifically: a. The in" rel="nofollow">interactions of the two systems, in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing physiological functions that require the two systems to perform together. b. The dependence of the human body on this specific relationship, i.e., its significance. 4. Discuss common medical issues and diseases affectin" rel="nofollow">ing the primary organ system in" rel="nofollow">in 2–3 slides, describin" rel="nofollow">ing for each: a. The nature of the condition or disease (e.g., who can have this and when it can occur). b. The implications of the condition or disease (i.e., the impaired function, the ultimate consequences). c. The cause(s) of the condition or disease. d. The prevalence of the condition or disease in" rel="nofollow">in the American population.
