System Malfunctions
A mini PowerPoint show on two diseases that could affect
the Circulatory System by Mariamawit Gashaw
What is the Circulatory System?
• The circulatory system is the system of circulation. Two major
organs in the circulatory system are the heart and the lungs.
Blood vessels and cells are also in the circulatory system. The
circulatory system is an important system and if it ever has a
malfunction the life of the person is in danger.
What two diseases could affect the
circulatory system?
• One disease that could affect the circulatory
system is lung disease. If the lungs get infected
it would be harder for the circulatory system to
function.
• Another disease that could affect the
circulatory system is heart disease. If the heart
ever gets infected it would also be harder for
the circulatory system to function.
What is Heart disease and Lung
disease?
• Lung disease and heart disease are disorders
that prevent or make it harder for these
important organs to do their jobs. The lungs
give oxygen to blood cells while the heart
pumps blood throughout the body. Lung and
heart diseases can cause death, serious
illnesses and complications for the organs.
Right now, millions of Americans are affected
by either lung or heart diseases.
Lung Disease
• Lung disease is a disorder causing
the lungs to not function in the
correct way the should.
• Lung disease can come in many
forms.
• Lung disease affects many people
especially smokers. Lung disease
can also affect non-smokers. The
reason it affects smokers is because
the carbon monoxide from the
cigarette or cigar gradually poisons
the body and the organs. That
causes diseases in many organs
including the lung.
• Lung disease can cause death or
complications with the respiratory
and circulatory system. The
infection might gradually slow
down the breathing of the lung
making it harder for the blood cells
receive the oxygen.
Lung Disease (cont.)
• List of common lung diseases:
-Asthma; when body’s airways become narrower
-Lung cancer; cancer of the lungs
-Pneumonia; inflammation of the lungs
-Influenza (flu); contagious lung disease caused by virus
-Bronchitis; inflammation of bronchial tubes and lung
-Emphysema; limited flow of air when you breathe out
-Tuberculosis; infectious disease
Heart Disease
• Heart disease is a disorder
also causing the heart to
function in a incorrect way.
• Heart disease is also known
as cardiovascular disease.
• Heart disease affects many
people, smokers and nonsmokers. It affects smokers
because smoking gradually
poisons the heart and the
heart has to work harder to
pump the blood.
Heart Disease (cont.)
• List of common heart diseases:
-Heart Attack; Blood clotting preventing blood to travel
to the heart
-High Blood Pressure; high force of blood against the
walls of the artery
-Coronary Heart Disease; Coronary arteries become
damaged or diseased
-Heart Rhythm Disorders; irregular heart beating
-Heart Murmurs; more noise your blood makes
-Heart Failure; heart failing
Conclusion
In conclusion, heart and lung disease can affect
the circulatory system. If the lung ever fails or
the heart the whole system will go corrupt. The
blood cells won’t have any oxygen to give to
the body. Or the heart will stop pumping blood
and then the body parts won’t get the blood
full of oxygen. Without the lung or the heart
functioning correctly in the body, we would
die. So, please take care of your heart and
lungs.
