CIRCULATORY SYSTEM CONSISTS OF THE CARDIO+VASCUL+AR SYSTEM (HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS) LYMPHATIC SYSTEM STRUCTURES INVOLVED IN THE CONVEYANCE OF THE FLUID LYMPH CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM SUPPLIES BODY CELLS WITH NEEDED SUBSTANCES, TRANSPORTS WASTE PRODUCTS FOR DISPOSAL, MAINTAINS THE ACID-BASE BALANCE OF THE BODY, PREVENTS HEMORRHAGE THROUGH BLOOD CLOTTING, PROTECTS AGAINST DISEASE, AND HELPS REGULATE BODY TEMPERATURE ARTERIES CARRIES BLOOD AWAY FROM THE HEART VEINS CARRIES BLOOD BACK TO THE HEART THROMBUS INTERNAL BLOOD CLOT EMBOLISM SUDDEN BLOCKING OF AN ARTERY OR LYMPH VESSEL BY FOREIGN MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE SITE OF BLOCKAGE BY THE CIRCULATING BLOOD PHLEBITIS INFLAMMATION OF A VEIN VARICOSE VEINS SWOLLEN AND KNOTTED VEINS THAT OCCUR MOST OFTEN IN THE LEGS CPR CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION IS RECOMMENDED AS AN EMERGENCY FIRST-AID PROCEDURE TO REESTABLISH HEART AND LUNG ACTION IN BREATHING OR HEART ACTION HAS STOPPED HYPERTENSION (EXCESSIVE, OR ABOVE NORMAL) ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE HYPOTENSION (BELOW NORMAL) LOW BLOOD PRESSURE HEART MURMUR SOFT BLOWING OR RASPING SOUND THAT MAY BE HEARD WHEN LISTENING TO THE HEART WITH A STETHOSCOPE (CAD) CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE- ABNORMAL CONDITION THAT AFFECTS THE HEART'S ARTERIES AND PRODUCES VARIOUS PATHOLOGIC EFFECTS, ESPECIALLY THE REDUCED FLOW OF BLOOD TO THE MYOCARDIUM (CHD) CORONARY HEART DISEASE- HEART DAMAGE RESULTING FROM INSUFFICIENT OXYGEN CAUSED BY PATHOLOGIC CHANGES IN THE CORONARY ARTERIES (COPD) CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE - DISEASE PROCESS THAT DECREASES THE LUNGS' ABILITY TO PERFORM THEIR VENTILATORY FUNCTION. THIS PROCESS CAN RESULT FROM CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA, CHRONIC ASTHMA, OR CHRONIC BRONCHIOLITIS. COPD IS ALSO CALLED CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASE (COLD) VASODILATION INCREASE IN THE DIAMETER OF A BLOOD VESSEL VASOCONSTRICTION DECREASE IN THE DIAMETER OF A BLOOD VESSEL RESPIRATION COMBINED ACTIVITY OF VARIOUS PROCESSES THAT SUPPLY OXYGEN TO ALL BODY CELLS AND REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE INSPIRATION AIR INTO LUNGS, ALSO CALLED INHALATION EXPIRATION AIR OUT OF THE LUNGS, ALSO CALLED EXHALATION INGESTION ORAL INTAKE OF SUBSTANCES INTO THE BODY DIGESTION MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL CONVERSION OF FOOD INTO SUBSTANCES THAT CAN EVENTUALLU BE ABSORBED BY CELLS ABSORPTION PROCESS IN WHICH THE DIGESTED FOOD MOLECULES PASS THROUGH THE LINING OF THE SMALL INTESTINE INTO THE BLOOD OR LYMPH CAPILLARIES ELIMINATION REMOVAL OF UNDIGESTED FOOD PARTICLES UROLOGIST PHYSICIAN WHO SPECIALIZES IN THE PRACTICE OF UROLOGY NEPHRITIS INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEY RENAL FAILURE FAILURE OF THE KIDNEY TO PERFORM ITS ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS UTI URINARY TRACT INFECTION - AN INFECTION OF THE URINARY TRACT BLADDER COLLAPSIBLE MUSCULAR BAG THAT STORES THE URINE UNTIL IT IS EXPELLED BY URINATION, ALSO CALLED VOIDING CYSTISIS INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER path. chapter 7-12
