These systems include: the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, renal system, the immune system, the nervous system, and the endocrine system.

Death of heart-muscle cells are due to myocardial infarctions can produce various forms of fibrillation. Myocardial infections are generally the result of atherosclerosis. Blood from venous circulation collects in the right atrium and then it is ejected into the right ventricle. Blood is passed through the lings and collects in the left atrium and is ejected into the left ventricle. Simultaneous contractions from both ventricles send blood towards the lungs and the rest of the body from the aorta. Breaks down food where nutrients are easy to absorb. Process that is monitored locally and by the brain. Muscle contractions suggest possible means of disruptions that some experience when they are distressed.
