Part A -The Endocrine System
The Endocrine SystemThe endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete chemicals called ‘hormones’ into the bloodstream or surrounding tissues. Together with the nervous system and the immune system, the endocrine system helps the body to cope with different events and stresses. The endocrine system include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries and testes.

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by a failure to secrete enough insulin. It is characterized by high blood sugar either because the body does not produce enough insulin or alternatively the body’s cells do not respond to the insulin produced. There are three main types of diabetes: Type 1 which typically occurs during childhood (juvenile diabetes), Type 2 which often is triggered during adulthood from poor health and obesity, and the much less common Gestational Diabetes which can be temporary and triggered during pregnancy. Diabetes can be a result of other conditions such as genetic syndromes, chemicals, drugs, malnutrition, infections, viruses, or other illnesses.The objectives of this exercise are to:1. Understand the use of the terms insulin, type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and glucose standard curve.2. Understand how fasting plasma glucose levels are used to diagnose diabetes mellitus.3. Understand the assay that is used to measure plasma glucose.

The Cardiovascular System
(also known as the Circulatory System)
The Cardiovascular System is composed of the organs and tissues involved in circulating blood and lymph through the body. The heart, blood and blood vessels make up the cardiovascular system, which services all the cells in the body. Wastes are taken away and exchanged with oxygen and food nutrients. Common problems of the cardiovascular system include an aneurysm, atherosclerosis, heart disease, high blood pressure and varicose veins.Procedure:Step 1: Click on the media link below to get an Introduction to the Heart and the Cardiovascular system.Step 2: Click to Slide 3 to see an anatomy view of the heart. Click over the image to enlarge the image of the heart.Step 3: While on Slide 3 viewing the anatomy of the heart, Click on the heart in each of the different views (Anterior, Right Lateral, Posterior, Left Lateral) to see a cut-away-view of the heart.

SubmitMyAnswersGiveUpSubmitted, grade pendingPart I -Introduction to Heart DiseaseCoronary heart disease is characterized by a narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Fatty deposits, or plaques, cling to the artery walls and can clog the arteries, making it more likely that a blood clot will form.A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks one of the arteries of the heart. This prevents the flow of blood, cuts off the oxygen supply to the heart and damages or kills the heart cells. Some foods increase the risk of coronary heart disease, others may protect against it. Uncontrolled diabetes can contribute to coronary heart disease.Characteristics of Heart diseaseCoronary heart disease is characterized by a narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Fatty deposits, or plaques, cling to the artery walls and can clog the arteries, making it more likely that a blood clot will form.A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks one of the arteries of the heart. This prevents the flow of blood, cuts off the oxygen supply to the heart and damages or kills the heart cells.Risk factors for heart diseaseA number of factors are associated with the build-up of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries, including cigarette smoking, lack of physical activity and a family history of the disease.Other risk factors include:·Type of fat eaten– saturated and trans fats increase blood cholesterol and heart attack rates. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats lower the risk of heart attacks.·Obesity– many overweight and obese people have diets high in fat, particularly saturated fat. A person who carries the bulk of their body fat around their stomach (an ‘apple’ shaped body) is at greater risk of heart disease than someone whose body fat tends to settle around their bottom, hips and thighs (a ‘pear’ shaped body).·High blood pressure(hypertension)– blood pressure is the amount of pressure within the arteries (blood vessels that carry blood around the body). High blood pressure, or hypertension, means that the pressure in the arteries is higher than normal. This may be because the arteries are less elastic, there is more blood volume or more blood is being pumped out of the heart.What is Coronary Heart Disease characterized by and how can a person lower the risk of contracting heart disease?It is characterized by accumulation of fatty deposits along the innermost layer of the coronary.
A person can low the risk of contracting a heart disease watching you cholesterol intake.

The Respiratory SystemThe main organ of the respiratory system is the lungs. Our lungs breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is vital to life. Breathing depends on the diaphragm, a sheet of muscle slung beneath the lungs inside the ribcage. Common problems of the respiratory system include asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, hay-fever, influenza, laryngitis and pneumonia.In this lab you will learn about the anatomy of the respiratory system and how the emphysema disease impacts lung function.Procedure:Step 1: Click on the respiratory anatomy review link.Step 2: Click on the link to learn about the respiratory system organs.Step 3: Then answer the Short Essay Questions.

Introduction to EmphysemaEmphysema is the most common respiratory disease in the United States, and is the fourth most common cause of death overall. Emphysema is for the most part caused by smoking and 80-90% of heavy smoking is the cause of the disease. Normal functioning lungs are elastic, however emphysema causes lung tissue to become less elastic and as the disease progresses, coughing and shortness of breath occur. In the later stages, the lungs cannot supply enough oxygen to the blood.In this lab you will explore comparative spirometry to better understand the impacts of diseases such as emphysema.Procedure:Step 1: Click on the link below to launch the Comparative Spirometry Lab.
