BSN-1F ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

1.Among the different Body Systems,choose 1 system that you consider as most
interesting and state your reason why?
▪ The heart does not need the body to beat; instead, the heart produces its own
electrical impulses that cause it to do so. For this reason, the bodily system I
have chosen is the cardiovascular system. Even when cut off from the rest of
the body, the heart will keep beating as long as it is getting oxygen. The heart
is a coordinated machine where the right side pumps blood into the lungs and
the left side pumps back into the body. We may better understand what can go
wrong, why, and how we can attempt to prevent it by studying how the
cardiovascular system functions in a healthy state.

2.From your chosen body system,identify 1 disorder/abnormality and its

medical/surgical management.You may include images of the signs and
symptoms.
