PHGY 210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Mass Diffusivity, Hemoglobin, Circulatory System
Document Summary
Ex: brain need glucose as fuel and this is transported by cardiovascular system. Absorb nutrient from intestine/gut than transport by blood. Mus(cid:272)le (cid:374)eed o2, they are tra(cid:374)sport fro(cid:373) lu(cid:374)gs to the heart se(cid:374)t to artery Remove the waste, ex : breath out air ( co2) as waste product. Immune system: ex: cut finger, finger get infected => the antibody, white cell move to the site to fight. The antibody is not made in the skin, they ae transported in blood to skin. Ph: ph in body is control in a vey narrow range (about 7. 4. ) The lung, kidney and several organs interact to control the ph inside the body. H2o: cardiovascular involve, when exercise at the high level, you lost water (sweat). Heat is transported through the blood to the surface of the body to be lost. 2) extreme cold, hypothermic, shut the blood away from skin to not loose heat.
