9. INTERNIST Interaction Digestive System/Circulatory System The digestive system and circulatory system interact since the digestive system requires large amounts of blood to function. Circulatory System/ Respiratory System When the air enters the lungs, it travels to tiny air sacs called alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood stream through capillaries that surround each alveoli. The newly produced blood then travels back towards the heart, where it will then get pumped to the rest of the body. Circulatory System/Nervous System When your heart pumps, it produces a pressure in your arteries called blood pressure. Your body helps calms down your blood pressure by communicating with the brain.

10. INTERNIST(CONTINUE) Your lungs absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide so the cells get the oxygen they need. Your digestive system breaks down the food you eat into nutrients that your body can absorb for food. Your blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrience. These are a list of doctors that deal directly with your body- Respiratory, Circulatory, Digestive, Excretory, and Nervous.

11. INTERNIST (CONTINUE) Respiratory- help with breathing issues. Circulatory- helps with your blood flow. Digestive- helps digest waste and food. Excretory- helps eliminate waste. Nervous- helps with all nerves in your body.

12. SURGEON Melanoma Surgery and Amputation are surgeries that can be performed. Melanoma on the skinFlesh Eating Bacteria on the skin

13. HISTORY OF THE SURGERIES The first time Melanoma surgery occurred was in 1787 by John Hunter. The first time Amputation occurred was during the time period ancient Greek and Rome. The group that did the first procedure was Greeks and Romans.

14. WHY EACH SURGERY IS PERFORMED WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SURGERIES ARE NOT PERFORMED Melanoma- Most dangerous type of skin cancer and causes 77% of skin cancer deaths. If Melanoma is not treated it can spread to other organs/organ systems and they can become cancerous. Amputation- This procedure is performed because it keeps the Flesh Eating Bacteria from spreading. If Amputation is not performed the Flesh Eating Bacteria will be spread to different areas causing organs to fail.
