Skeletal System
Integumentary System
Nervous system
PNS (peripheral nervous system)
Nerves
bundles of nerve fibers found everywhere in your body
Deliver messages sent by brain and carrying out commands
Autonomic
Functions your brain runs without thinking (involuntary)
Heartbeat, digestion, gastrointestinal Tract
Somatic
Functions you have to think about to execute
Motor (efferent)
Carry information from Central Nervous system to respective body parts
Connect to muscles
Sensory (afferent)
Carry information from the outside world gathered by the sense to the central nervous system and to the brain
Afferent/Sensory nerons are specialized based on which of the 5 senses they belong to
Sensory neurons will send information about that stimulus up the spinal cord to the brain where it will decide how to respond
The brain decides how to respond it will then send signals through the spinal cord to the respective efferent nerve
CNS (central nervous system)
Brain
controlling thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, topic
Malfunction
Parkinson's Disease
Nerve cells in the brain begin to die as a cause of insufficient dopamine production, one of the most imporant neurotransmitters
Slowed movement, worsened senses, poor thinking ability, balance and tremors and other unwanted involuntary movement
Symptoms can be controled
Medication
Carbidopa-levodopa: Is the most effective medication used for Parkinsons disease. It is a natural chemical that is converted to dopamine in the brain.
The effect of this medication will wear off over time, and may cause more unwanted side effects
Surgical Procedures
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Surgon will inplant device near your color bone and will send electrical inpulses to the electrodes implanted inside your brain
Reduce involuntary movements, reduce tremor, ridigy, and improve movement
Caused by exposure to exessive toxins present in the environment
Spinal cord
Sending commands from the brain to respective parts of the body
Endocrine System

Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Weight loss
Diabetes
Type 1
Causes your body to stop producing insulin
Type 2
Uncontrollable blood levels
Gestational
Developed in pregnant ladies
The mother in child
Responsible for all biological processes in the human body using hormones
Brain and nervous system development
The growth function
Blood sugar and metabolism
Cardiovascular System
Organs
Arteris
Pulmonary artery
Blood vessels that carry oxygen poor blood to the right side of your heart
Heart
Right atrium
Oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood and pumps it into Right Ventricle
Right ventricle
Pumps blood through pulmonary valve into pulmonary arteries then into your lungs where the blood cells will receive oxygen
Left ventricle
Pumps blood through aortic valve to supply entire body with oxygen
Left Atrium
Oxygen- rich blood and gets sent through mitral valve into left ventricle
Malfunction
Arrhythmias
You get episodes of rapid heart rate (more than 100 bpm) that last for 30 seconds
The your blood cells from being filled with a sufficient amount of oxygen
Light headedness, shortness of breath and some might even pass out
Put you at risk for cardiac arrest
Treated
Medication
Antiarrhythmic drugs
prevent the extra electrical pulse from reaching your heart therefore returning heart beat to normal
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (IDC)
Surgically implanted under the skin with batteries and thin wires (leads)
Constantly track heart rhythm and delivers electric shock when heart beats too rapidly
Gathers data on heart rate to aid healthcare providers in forming a better treatment plan
Heart suddenly stops pumping blood
Vital organs such as the brain to stop receiving oxygen
Bradycardia
You have an abnormally low resting heart rate of less than 60 BPM.
Drugs reaction, old age, heart conditions, athletes
Heart block
Electrical signals that signal that causes the atria to contract doesnt always travel to the ventricles
An insufficient supply of blood as heart will skip peats or bump slowly
Treated
First-degree block: Most likely does not require any treatment
Second-degree block: You may need a pacemaker implanted
Third-degree block: Will always need a pacemaker implanted
Pacemaker: A small device that will send electricle pulses to ensure heart beats at normal rate, preventing symptoms such as lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and fainting as a cause of your brain not receiving enough oxygen.
Heartbeats
Diastole
Ventricles relax and to fill with blood while the atria contracts emptying blood into ventricles
Systole
Ventricles contract to pump blood out of the heart while the Artia relaxes, filling with blood
Veins
Pulmonary Veins
Oxygen-rich blood and carry from lungs to heart
Capillaires
smallest arteries to smallest veins
Digestive System
Urinary System
Organs
Kidney
2 kidneys located on either side on the back of the abdomen
Eliminate waste which gets carried out as urine
Blood enters kidneys through arteries
Toxins are separated and stored in your bladder until you use the restroom
Bladder
Urine
Expands as it is fills, like a balloon

Temors
Deep brain stimulation (DBS)
is a surgically implanted device in the chest that will send electrodes to the part of the brain (that controls involuntary movements) to return some control to the brain
