The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is the transportation system of the body. The major structures that make this possible are the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Simply put, the heart pumps the blood in order to move nutrients through the blood vessels to nourish and to remove metabolic wastes from the body. The purpose of this video is to present a basic understanding of the Cardiovascular System, its basic functions, and basic structures that define the heart.

It is important to know, the human organism was meant to stay healthy and the Urinary or Excretory System is another system by which the body rids itself of unwanted toxins or (waste). Basically, the urinary system’s main purpose is to maintain the body’s “homeostasis”. In other words, the urinary system’s main function is to maintain the body’s acid-base balance. In this introductory video on the urinary system, you will learn about its purpose, the structures that make it up, the functions of each, and how they work together to maintain balance in the body.

This course will give you a more in-depth and visual understanding of the Nervous System. The basic purpose of the Nervous System is to coordinate all of the activities of the body. It enables the body to respond and adapt to changes that occur both inside and outside the body. This course will discuss the two major parts to the Nervous System: the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System, its parts and essential functions to bring the whole body to movement and full operation.
