This system can be divided into two divisions: - The pulmonary: Right side of the heart receiving deoxygenated from body and transporting it to lungs - The systematic circuit: Left side of heart receives oxygenated blood from lungs to transport to the body 2. Nervous system brain, spinal cord, nerves The nervous system controls all the body’s activities. It controls the maintenance of normal functions and the ability to cope in emergency situations. The nervous system is made up the brain, spinal cord and nerves. It can also be divided into 2 systems: - Central nervous system: brain and spinal cord - Peripheral system: connects CNS to rest of the body. 3. Respiratory The respiratory system supplies oxygen to and removes carbon dioxide from the body through the exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere. Three examples include the nose, lungs and trachea 3.

Oral health is important in a person’s overall health as it affects the ability to eat, speak and socialise due to the pain and discomfort which can lead to lasting physical and psychological disability. Poor oral health can lead to a number of chronic diseases such as cancers and diabetes. Two oral health diseases include: - Cavities (tooth decay) A common oral disease where areas of teeth that have been permanently damaged/may have holes in them. This is due to bacteria, food and acid coat the teeth and form a plaque which then starts to eat away the enamel which eventually leads to eating away the underlying dentin. - Gingivitis(gum disease) Inflammation of gums, most likely due to poor brushing and flossing habits which results in plaque building up your teeth. Untreated gum disease can lead to periodontitis which is a more serious infection Document title: HLTAAP002_LA025287 Page 19 of 21
