DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Overview : The digestive system consisted of the names and functions of different internal organs located within the human body. This unit walked through how each organ plays a role in digestion. Through each individual organ, we learned how food is broken down and literally digested. Digestion is defined as: the process of breaking down food by mechanical and enzymatic action in the alimentary canal into substances that can be used by the body. What Did We Learn? We learned all of the different organs involved in the digestive system. Then we learned how it works from beginning to end, and where it all goes. Lastly we learned some of the different health concerns involved with the digestive system.

Every day your heart beats 100,000 times! Your heart is roughly the size of your fist. This muscle circulates 5-7 liters of blood throughout the body. Atherosclerosis : abnormal narrowing of the blood vessels caused by deposits of plaque Arteriostenosis : abnormal narrowing of an artery The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels. Its main function in the body is to circulate nutrients bring cells oxygen, and transport waste to the kidneys. In this unit we also learned about health concerns such as heart disease and hypertension. Terms: The atriums are superior to the ventricles The aorta is superior to the pulmonary veins The inferior vena cava is inferior to the superior vena cava… shocker.. Careers : Cardiac Surgeon: It takes about 15 years in total to become a cardiac surgeon. They make about $522,875 per year. Cardiac surgery involves surgery to the heart and large blood vessels. Cardiovascular technologists: Are assistants to physicians who aid in the diagnosis and treatment of heart and blood vessel issues. They have a yearly salary of $35,000-$85,000 , depending on experience level and you will need a 2-year associate's degree.
