| Symptom | A physical or mental feature which is regarded as indicating a condition of disease. |
| Integumentary System | Function: Protects body from injury, infection, and dehydration; helps regulate body temp; eliminates waste; produces vitamin D. |
| Lymphatic System | Function: Carries some tissues fluid and wastes to blood, assists with fighting infection. |
| Endocrine System | Function: Produces and secretes body hormones to regulate body processes. |
| Digestive System | Function: Digests food physically and chemically, transports food, absorbs nutrients, eliminates waste. |
| Cardiovascular system | Function: Circulates blood, delivers nutrients, oxygen, hormones and waste like carbon dioxide and organs’ chemical byproducts throughout the whole body. |
| Arteries | Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and to every part of the body. Aorta is the largest artery. |
| Veins | Return oxygen-depleted blood to the heart. Veins start smaller and get larger as it approaches the heart. The superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava deliver blood to the heart. |
| Capillaries | Connect very small arteries (arterioles) and veins (venules). They have thin walls that allow oxygen, waste products, nutrients and carbon dioxide to pass into or out of cells. |
| Leukocytes | White blood cells that are crucial immune cells that defend the body against pathogens, abnormal cells (cancer), disease and cleaning up debris. |
| What are the different parts of the heart? | The heart has four chambers: the right and left atria and the right and left ventricle, vena cavae, the aorta, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, mitral (tricuspid) valve, aortic valves, and septum. |
| Oxygenated blood | Comes from the lungs then enters the left atrium and is pumped to the left ventricle, where this ventricle generates high pressure needed to pump your blood to your whole body through the blood vessels. |
| Deoxygenated blood | Enters the right atrium from the vena cavae, passes through a mitral valve into the right ventricle, in which the right ventricle pumps it through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery into the lungs, where the lungs add oxygen to the blood. |
| Respiratory System | Breathes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide Organs/parts |
| Nervous System | Coordinates and controls body activities |
| Muscular System | Produces movement, protects internal organs, produces body heat, maintains posture |
| Skeletal System | Creates framework of the body, protects internal organs, produces blood cells, acts as levers for muscles. |
| Sensory System | Allows body to react to environment by providing sight, smell, hearing, taste and balance |
| Nervous system organs | Nerves, brain, spinal cord |
| Sensory System organs | Eyes, ears, tongue, nose, general sense receptors |
| Skeletal System organs | bones and cartilage |
| Respiratory System organs | Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs |
| Cardiovascular system organs | Heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. |
| Digestive System organs | Mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas. |
| Endocrine System organs | Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and thymus glands; pancreases, ovaries, testes. |
| Lymphatic System organs | Lymph nodes, lymph vessels, spleen, tonsils, and thymus gland. |
| Integumentary System | Skin, sweat and oil glands, nails, and hair. |
| How should you position yourself when speaking to a patient? | At eye level, facing them correctly with good posture, showing concern, eye contact, avoid interruptions, observe emotions and body language, ask for clarification, eliminate own bias |

| What does CPR stand for? | Cardiopulmonary resuscitation |
| When would you not perform CPR? | When the person in need of CPR has a DNR, or has signs of life. |
| What are methods to prevent disease transmission for healthcare providers? | Hand hygiene PPE Use high-efficiency particulate air filter or mask must be used Negative air pressure in room Door remains closed Wear gown or covering Wear gloves Carefully wash hands |
| What can everyone do on a regular basis to prevent disease transmission? | Wash hands!!!! Cover cough or sneeze. |
| Urinary system | Filters blood to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, produces and eliminates urine. |
