The cardiovascular system is the heart and blood vessels, The heart is what pumps the blood through the body and the vessels are what enclose the blood.
There are different vessels like arteries or arterioles, capillaries and veins.
Lymphatic system is an assistant to the cardiovascular system, thye collect excess tissue fluids and return it to the cardiovascular system.
The heart is a cone shaped muscular organ between the lungs.
Pulse is the heartbeat rate, normal average heart rate is 12-20 beats per minute. B
Blood pressure is the blood being moved through the heart by the beat.
The pulmonary circuit is where blood travels to and from the lungs.
The systemic circuit is where the aorta divides into blood vessels that work for the body's cells and organs.
Lymph is the tissue fluid contained within the lymphatic system.

91% of blood plasma is water
Blood transports carbon dioxide from the cell and brings hormones, nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
Blood maintains blood pressure and body temperature.
Blood is the fighter against infections.
Plasma proteins help with immunity and blood clotting.
Red blood cells do not have a nucleus
Red blood cells combine with oxygen and then transports it to the tissues.
White bloods cells have a nucleas and are clear.
White blood cells are either granular leukocytes or agranular leukocytes.
Granular leukocytes are eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils.
Agranular leukocytes include momocytes and lyphocytes.
Platelets are from fragmentation of megakaryocytes in red bone marrow.
Platelets, prothrombin, and fibrinogen function in blood clotting.
ABO blood typing determines the presence or absence of type A antigen and type B antigen on the surface of red blood cells.
Homeostasis depends upon the cardiovascular system because it serves the needs of the cells.
The digestive system offers nutrients
the nervous and endocrine systems are involved in blood pressure.

Chapter 7
The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels that return lymph to cardiovascular veins.
the thymus gland is where the T lymphocytes mature
Some secondary lymphatic organs are the spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, and appendix
Immunity involves non specific and specific defenses and nonspecific includes the inflammatory reactions and protective proteins. Specific require B cells and lymphocytes and T cells and lymphocytes.
Active immunity can in induced by vaccines.
Passive immunity is needed when there in an immediate danger of infections or disease.
Cytokines are a form of passive immunity used to treat AIDS.
Allergic reactions come when our immune system responces to foreign substances in the body.

The first step in digestion is in the mouth, chewing your food. Next is the stomach and small intestine.
the stomach expands to store food and mixes the food with acid to help digest.
The small intestine receives bile that emulsifies fat and redies it for final digestion.
The enzyme that is produces by the pancreas is the finish process of chemical digestion.
The large intestin absorbs water, salts, and some vitamins and carries out defecation.
Carbs are necessary in the diet
Omega 3 fatty acids are protective agains cardiovascular disease.
