THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

[/ux_text] [/col] [col span=”6″ span__sm=”12″] [gap height=”5px”]

The cardiovascular system is a closed system that consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and approximately 5 liters of blood that the blood vessels transport. Veins carry filtered, oxygenated nutrient-rich blood throughout the body needed for metabolism, repair, and removal of carbon dioxide, toxins, and other metabolic wastes out through the lungs, digestive system, urinary tract, skin, and lymphatic system.

The circulatory system regulates inflammation.
There are five phases of inflammation:

The circulatory system regulates inflammation.
There are five phases of inflammation:

[/ux_text] [/col] [/row] [row] [col span=”6″ span__sm=”12″] [ux_text visibility=”hide-for-medium”]

Rubor – Redness associated with increased blood flow

Tumor – Swelling associated with increased lymph flow

Calor – Heat associated with the local fever produced near the injury

Dolor – The pain that alerts us to the damage

Functio laesa – The loss of function of the injured area, often 
                                                    involving spasms from imbalance

The circulatory system also regulates toxicity. Toxins can be internally produced (endotoxins) or acquired (exotoxins) from our environments: air, water, food, etc. When removing a toxin from the human body, special care is needed to support our normal detoxification processes. Further, attention to the consequences of toxicity is also important. For example, toxins create inflammation, which may spawn allergies or generate infections depending on the type of toxin.

Heart, Blood Vessels, Blood And Lymphatic
