investigate the lymphatic system. In a Word document, discuss the following two parts.
Part 1. Give a summary of the lymphatic system. Include in this discussion its various components and organs, as well as their functions within this system.
Part 2. Think about the circulatory system and the lymphatic system. With that, in your own words describe the two types of inflammatory responses to injury or disease. How are the circulatory and lymphatic systems connected?
You’ve been studying hormones, homeostasis, and feedback loops. Let’s concentrate on glucose regulation. Diabetes is a very serious disease that is on the rise, particularly type 2 diabetes; not only in our own country, but around the world. Please visit this website and then discuss the questions below.
https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overviewLinks to an external site.
Can you draw on your own experiences or the experiences of someone you know to explain diabetes? What is hyperglycemia? Use the website above to explain how a patient can lower his or her blood glucose during hyperglycemia. There is a lot of information on this page. Please go beyond just giving the four or five main steps to control diabetes. Why do you think it is important to control diabetes to prevent hyperglycemia?
If you can, please include a discussion of your own experience with diabetes. Does someone you know suffer from this condition? How does he or she have to adjust his or her lifestyle?
Please create your own original response to this prompt and respond to at least two of your peers. Please reference Course Home for additional information on how to do well in your discussion forums.
How to Anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 apply to everyday nursing on a medsurg unit and emergency department
