Circulatory System:
Your heart is roughly the size of a fist and sits in the middle of your chest, slightly to the left. It’s the muscle at the Centre of your circulation system. It pumps blood around your body as your heart beats. This blood sends oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps blood through blood vessels, which carry the blood to and from all areas
of the body. This whole network of vessels for blood circulation is called the vascular system. All the arteries and veins outside the heart and head make up the peripheral vascular system.
Blood is a specialized body fluid. It has four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Blood has many different functions that include transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues.
In addition to the A and B antigens, there is a protein called the Rh factor which can either present (+) or absent (-), creating the 8 most common blood types (A+, A-, B+, B-, 0+, 0-, AB+, AB-)
AB+ and 0- are considered universal blood types. People who are AB+ are universal recipients, meaning they can safely receive a blood transfusion of any other blood type. 0- individuals are universal donors, meaning their blood can be given to people of any blood type.
Universal donors are those with a 0- blood type. Type 0 is routinely in short supply and in
high demand by hospitals because type 0 is the universal blood type needed for emergency transfusions and for immune deficient infants.
Integumentary System:
It’s made up of three layers, the epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis, all three of which
vary significantly in their anatomy and function. The skin’s structure is made up of an intricate network which serves as the body’s initial barrier against pathogens, UV light, chemicals, and mechanical injury.
The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
Accessory structures of the skin include hair, nails, sweat glands and sebaceous glands. Although these structures appear to be part of the dermis, they are derived from the epidermis.
Skin color is influenced by the type of melanin present, UV exposure, genetics, the content of melanosomes and other chromophores in the skin. The presence of various 4
chromophore combinations influence skin color perception in part: carotenoids, melanin, oxyhemoglobin and hemoglobin. Summary:
The integumentary system includes the hair, the skin, and hair, which are organs that grow out of
the skin. Because the organs of the integumentary system are mostly external to the body, you may think of them as little more than accessories like clothing or jewelry, but they serve vital physiological functions. They provide a protective covering for the body, sense the environment, and help the body maintain homeostasis. The skin, hair, nails, and glands work harmoniously to protect the body from harm and maintain homeostasis. The integumentary system works with the
following bodily system: immune system- acts as a physical barrier to disease-causing germs and
houses immune cells, digestive system- vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium which is needed for bone maintenance and muscle contractions, cardiovascular system- the skins blood vessels can constrict or dilate to conserve or release heat, nervous system- the skin transmit information from sensations through nerve receptors to the brain, respiratory system- the tiny hairs lining the nasal passages remove harmful particles before the lung inhale them and urinary system- the skin excretes waste products which helps the kidneys maintain the body’s electrolyte and pH balance.

Assessment Task 2 B
Bertha, the story continues:
Bertha is a 75 years old First Nations elder who is recovering from a fractured pelvis.
She has been working with the physiotherapists to ensure that she does not lose strength before being discharged from hospital. Today she had a session with the physiotherapists.
Before taking Bertha to the gym, a set of vital signs were collected before she gets out of bed. Results are: RR 14 bpm, SpO2 98%, BP 130/70 mmHg (Mean arterial pressure 90 mmHg), HR 74 bpm. The nurse tells the physios that Bertha is well and has no cardiovascular or respiratory diseases.
The physiotherapists took her to the gym, where she undertook some exercises under their direction.
Collect cues:
After the first round of exercises, they check her vital signs again.
Her respiratory rate is now 20 bpm, her SpO2 is 100% on room air, BP is 140/80 mmHg (Mean arterial pressure 100 mmHg), and HR is 90 bpm. She is observed to be breathing deeply and using accessory muscles.

Task 3.
During some diseases, one can observe the diminishing of the duration of the action potential of typical cardiomyocytes. This makes
conditions for pathological recirculation of excitatory impulses (action potentials) by the heart structures and it violates the pump`s
function of the heart. Explain the reason for it.

Work 3. Express assessment of the functional system indicators, which provides the optimal
level of blood pressure (for metabolism).
Human functional states (quiet wakefulness, physical and psycho-emotional tension, stress,
fatigue) are accompanied by a change in the tonus of the autonomic nervous system, which
leads to a change in the heart rate and blood pressure. Therefore, the heart rate, blood pressure
and indexes calculated on their basis can be used as indicators of a person's functional state.
Equipment: clock with a second hand, a sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope, a calculator.
The content of the work. Measure your blood pressure and heart rate, and assess your functional
state on this basis. Formulas for calculation and evaluation criteria are given below.
Measure the heart rate. Result: heart rate =
If the heart rate is less than 50 beats/min, the patient has a bradycardia.
If heart rate is between 50 and 90 beats/min. - normocardia
