Nervous System
Brain
Has the power to control everything your body does: Power to dream, Power to imagine. Invent flying cars. Fall in love.
Brain
Is just like a house built with wiring. Has the capacity to supply power to every body parts.
What is a Neuron?
It is a nerve cell. The functional unit of the nervous system. Transmit nerve messages. The brain is made up of approximately 100 billion neurons.
Neuron
Chemicals:
Aluminum / Mercury Lead / Aspartame MSG / Tar Nicotine Cause interruption in the Neurotransmitters which could lead to Memory Loss.
The Heart
Heart
Pear-shaped structure. About the size of your fist. Supply the body with oxygenated blood. Exerts pressure on the veins and arteries
called Blood Pressure.
Heart
The right side receives deoxygenated
blood. The left side receives oxygenated blood. The heart beats approximately 100,000 times a day, 60-100 beats per minute. Pumps nearly 5 quarts of blood every 60 seconds.
The Heart
Blood Circulation
Arteries
Three layers. Inner most layer is smooth & came in contact with blood. The middle layer is muscular, it spasms when your anxious and opens up with exercise. The outer layer holds the artery together from outside.
Functions of Arteries
Transport blood away from the heart. Carry oxygenated blood only. Transport blood under higher pressure than veins.
Functions of Veins
Transport blood towards the heart. Carry de-oxygenated blood. Have valves to prevent flowing back of waste materials to the tissues.
Coronary Arteries
Supply blood to the heart muscle only. Any coronary artery disorder can reduce flow of oxygen and nutrients to the heart.
Arteries
When Injured
Pull away from each other. Form a gap (tear).
Artery
Arterial Plaque
Immune System
Protects the body from disease and infection. Destroy and remove foreign invaders. Like an army that is always on guard to protect the body.
Lymphatic System
Lymphatic System
Removes all waste materials from the infection.
B cells destroy the covering of the bacteria. T cells digest the offending bacteria.
Thymus
Bone Marrow
B cells are produce Create antibodies
Respiratory System
Q. Do you know how much air do you take in with each breath? A. 6 Quarts Enough to fill-up 10M ballons (air sacs)
What is respiration?
It is the act of breathing: inspiration taking in oxygen expiration giving off carbon dioxide
Respiratory System
Nose Pharynx Larynx Trachea Lungs
Lungs
The Kidney
Each Kidney has 10 Nephrons. Nephron is the functional unit of Kidney. The kidney cant regenerate new nephrons.
The Kidney
Renal Injury and aging will decrease the number of nephrons. After age 40, the nephrons begin to decrease by 10% due to benign nephrosclerosis.
The Kidney
The remaining nephrons adapt to take the increased work load. Clinical kidney symptoms appear if 70% of the nephrons are lost.
Muscular System
Support body weight. Coordinate body movement. The body has more than 600 muscles
Skeletal- bone Smooth- intestine, urinary bladder Cardiac- heart
Skeletal System
Strong framework that supports the body. Protects the internal organs. An adult consists of 206 bones.
Joints
Joints link one bone to another to allow movement. Ligaments fibrous capsule which keep ends of bone together.
Joints
Cartilage connective tissue that provide cushion upon bones. Synovial fluid lubricant and nutrient that feeds the cells of cartilage.
Joints
As you age
Cartilage
Becomes thinner. Cushioning effects are gradually lost. They are less protective of the bones.
As you age
Bones grind against each other. Joint becomes inflamed causing pain.
... then, your digestive system may not be functioning well, as it should be!
Our body
Has been and is constantly exposed to toxins daily.
Our body
Accumulates toxins faster than we eliminate them.
Is it too LATE?
No, it is not for those who are aware of their body and change their lifestyle.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Stomach
Where the body's breakdown of food really gets serious. An adequate secretion of acids and enzymes is very important.
Functions of Gallbladder
Stores and concentrate bile. Dispersed fats and neutralizes acids in the duodenum (small intestine).
Digestive System
Alpha Cells
Sugar
Beta Cells
Pancreas
Insulin
Blood Stream
Protease
Digestive Enzymes
Amylase
Lipase
