Just before 3:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, Toledo Police were called to the scene of a two car accident with a person shot. When police arrived, they found one of the drivers, who is a male, suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest. The gunshot punctured the skin, ribs, and muscles; however, it did not enter the thoracic cavity.

c)

Skeletal System

d)

Muscular System

e)

The human brain — the most complicated and powerful organ on planet Earth — is squishy. And when a person hits their head hard, the brain can bounce around and twist in the skull. It’s this rapid motion of the brain inside the skull that creates the traumatic brain injury known as a concussion. During impact, individual neurons can be stretched and damaged. Brain chemistry gets out of whack. Concussions make people “see stars,” become disoriented, lose consciousness, become sensitive to light and sound, get headaches, and have sluggish or confused thoughts for weeks and even months.

The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors. The sensory receptors detect changes in temperature, pressure, or light, and send messages (via electrical signals called nerve impulses) to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) so that it is constantly informed about what is going on. The central nervous system then assesses this information and responds by activating the appropriate body effectors.

The role of the lymphatic system complements that of the cardiovascular system. Its organs include lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and other lymphoid organs such as the spleen and tonsils (Figure 1.2g). When fluid is leaked into tissues from the blood, lymphatic vessels return it to the bloodstream so that there is enough blood to continuously circulate through the body. The lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs help to cleanse the blood and house white blood cells involved in immunity.
