Welcome to Danielle's Wiki Page  media type="custom" key="21489944" align="center" **All Systems Go! ** An insight of this topic: This topic is all about the human body and the organ systems that make our body function. The cells in your body make up the tissue, the tissue then makes up the organs which then at least two organs make up an organ system. Cool right? I will be providing you pictures, videos and a couple of links so you can learn the morst fun way. These organ systems that I will include on my page are the respiratory system, circulatory system, digective system and the excretory system. Hope you enjoy :)

Today in class (13/8) we saw the internal organs of a sheep. By pumping air into the lungs, we could see it lungs inflate and deflate. Look closely to see for yourself!
=Circulatory System =


 * || Artery || Vein || Capillary || Heart ||
 * Structure || Thick muscular walls. || Wall of the veins are not as thick as the walls of the arteries. Veins contains valves. || 1 cell in thickness. || Strong muscular organ. ||
 * Function || Since arteries carry blood away from the heart under height pressure, their wall need to be tick and muscular to cope with the pressure of the blood being pumped from the heart. || Veins carry blood towards the heart. This blood is not under very high pressure. Hence the walls are not so thick and muscular. Because veins carry blood under low pressure, valves are present that prevent the back flow of blood. || The thin walls of the capillary allows efficient gas exchange. || Pumps blood around the body. ||

 * Digestive System **
 * Each organ and structure in the digestive system has a different job that helps to breakdown the food we eat.
 * They all work together to form the digestive system that starts with the mouth and ends with the anus.

 * Dr Victor Chang **

Dr Victor Chang was an Australian doctor who played an important role in establishing the heart transplant unit at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney. He and other doctors developed new procedures and techniques. He first carried out a heart transplant operation in 1984 on a young girl who is still alive today. Dr Victor Chang also developed an artificial heart valve, called the St Vincent heart valve, and was working on developing an artificial heart before he was murdered.

One field of heath science is physiotherapy. To be a physiotherapist, you have to work with people who have become disabled by injury, illness or age. They are trained to assess and treat a variety of conditions that affect the physical condition of adults and children in a variety of ways. When you are a physiotherapist, you make long-term relationships with your patients. The physiotherapist's goal for them is to help repair and regain their range of movement and functional ability or if they have permanent disabilities, physiotherapists help to prevent any further damage so that their level of ability is maintained. There are many specialties in physiotherapy. Some of these include cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal and pediatric. In conclusion, physiotherapists treat the clients/patients pain and functional limitations and provide them with the knowledge and appropriate exercise programs to help regain their functional ability.

__**Nursing **__ Another area of health science that I am interested in is nursing. Nursing includes a range of specialties to assist people of any age with any sickness. They perform activities that contribute to health, recovery or just a peaceful death. Nurses strive to get the best possible quality of life for their patients regardless of the type of disease, illness or disability they have. The field of nursing involves in the education of patients health processes, health promotion activates, clinical procedures and management of nursing steps. The clinical judgement is used for nurses to protect and optimize health, prevent illness and injury, relieve any suffering and take care and responsibility of the individual, families or communities. Nurses build up the ability to assess, plan, implement and evaluate are independently which they use daily to care for each patient. Nursing also allows you to work in a broad range of settings such as hospitals, community settings, homes, residential settings, general practices and even prisons where you have to ability to experience many environments. In conclusion, the highly skilled profession of nursing combines the ability to care as well as use scientific knowledge and skills developed through time to care for their patient in the most effective way. = = =**Adaptations**= media type="custom" key="21408010" media type="file" key="Adaptations.avi" width="270" height="270"
