1. Definition of Asthma:
Asthma is one of the most common type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A COPD is a type of disease or disorder to which the airway is affected and causes breathing to be slowed or forced. Asthma is a type of COPD that causes the airway to become inflamed and to be hypertensive (increased pressures in the blood vessels in the airway) due to any internal or external stimuli. The system that is closely associated with asthma is the respiratory system. The way that the respiratory system is responsible for many things such as proving our internal organs with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide from the body. There are many components of the respiratory system; the first part of it is the nose. The nose …show more content…
The other main component of the cardiovascular system is the blood vessels. Blood vessels are the veins, venules (tiny blood vessels that allows blood to go from capillaries into veins), arterioles (tiny blood vessels that allows blood to go from capillaries into arteries), capillaries (tiny blood vessels that is in between venules and arterioles) and the arteries, which are made up of connective tissue (tissue that connects our organs) (tissue is a bunch of body cells that has the same function) and smooth muscle (muscle that is involuntary and is not no marks and is smooth.) The blood vessels are the roadway for our blood to transport the needed supplements for our organs and get rid of metabolic waste. Last but not least there’s the blood, the blood is made up of platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells and plasma. Platelets are the clotting factors in the blood. Whenever a blood vessels is broken the platelets step in and clot the area to stop the blood from leaking. The next part of the blood is the white blood cells, the white blood cell helps with immunity, white blood cells helps to keep foreign bodies and …show more content…
The red blood cells carry the supplements to and from the area in need. Then there’s plasma, which is the liquid like substance in the blood. The way that the Cardiovascular System works is that the heart receives the deoxygenated blood (blood that is low in oxygen) through the Vena Cava (is a vessel called a vein that carries blood that needs oxygen to the heart) then the blood flows into the right atrium. From the right atrium the blood goes through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve then closes when the ventricles is full then the right ventricle contracts, sending the blood to the pulmonary artery. From the pulmonary artery the blood goes to the lung and get oxygenated. The oxygenated blood, then flows into the left atrium through the pulmonary vein. Then the mitral valve opens up and the blood goes into the left ventricle. When the left ventricle is full the mitral valve closes and the ventricle contract. The left ventricle is the biggest/strongest part of the heart due to the fact that it has to pump the blood hard enough for it to reach the whole body. After the left ventricle contracts the
