This document provides information about the circulatory system, including its key features and functions. It discusses the two main types of circulatory systems - open and closed. Open systems are found in arthropods and mollusks, where hemolymph circulates through the hemocoel. Closed systems are in vertebrates and some other animals, where blood circulates through vessels. A closed system allows for larger body sizes as it is more efficient at oxygen transport. The document also covers the components of blood and different blood cell types, as well as the classes of blood vessels and heart anatomy.
The Human Blood Circulatory system
Humans and other vertebrates have a closed blood circulatory system:
This system consists of
the heart (pump),
series of blood vessels
the blood that flows through them.
This means that circulating blood is pumped through a system of vessels.
Functions of Human Blood Circulatory System
1. oxygen
2. carbon dioxide
3 nutrients
4. water
5. ions
6. hormones
7. antibodies
8. metabolic wastes

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Features
• Circulatory systems generally have three
main features:
• Fluid (blood or hemolymph) that
transports materials
• System of blood vessels
• A heart to pump the fluid through the
vessels
4. Types of circulatory systems
• Animals that have a circulatory system
have one of two kinds:
• Open: fluid is circulated through an
open body chamber.
• Closed: fluid is circulated through
blood vessels.
5. Open system
• Arthropods and most
mollusks have an open
circulatory system.
• Hemolymph is
contained in a body
cavity, the hemocoel. A
series of hearts
circulates the fluid.
6. Closed system
• Vertebrates, annelid
worms, and a few
mollusks have a closed
circulatory system.
• Blood is moved through
blood vessels by the
heart’s action. It does
not come in direct
contact with body
organs.
7. Why does an open circulatory system
limit body size?
1. Hearts are too small
for growth.
2. Too little blood to
support a larger
animal.
3. Less efficient in
moving oxygen to
body tissues.
4. Hemocoel must be
shed for growth.
8. • Why did homeothermy (“warm-
bloodedness) only develop in organisms
with a closed circulatory system?

10. Components
• Blood is made up of four major
components. What do each of these do?
• Plasma: the liquid portion.
• Red blood cells.
• White cells.
• Platelets.
11. Red blood cells
• RBCs lose their
nucleus at maturity.
• Make up about 99% of
the blood’s cellular
component.
• Red color is due to
hemoglobin.
12. Hemoglobin
• Hemoglobin is a
complex protein made
up of four protein
strands, plus iron-rich
heme groups.
• Each hemoglobin
molecule can carry four
oxygen atoms. The
presence of oxygen
turns hemoglobin bright
red.
13. RBC lifespan
• RBCs live about 4
months. Iron from
hemoglobin is recycled
in the liver and spleen.
• The hormone
erythropoeitin, made by
the kidneys, stimulates
the production of RBCs
in red bone marrow.
14. If your diet is poor in iron, what will
happen to your RBCs?
1. You will make fewer
because there is less
iron to make
hemoglobin.
2. You will make more
to make up for the
lack of iron in
hemoglobin.
3. You will make just as
many.
15. • One of the illegal drugs that some top
Olympic athletes have been caught
using is erythropoetin. What would this
hormone do that would give athletes an
edge in competitions?

16. White cells
• White blood cells
defend against disease
by recognizing proteins
that do not belong to
the body.
• White cells are able to
ooze through the walls
of capillaries to patrol
the tissues and reach
the lymph system.
17. Platelets
• Platelets are cell
fragments used in
blood clotting.
• Platelets are derived
from megakaryocites.
Because they lack a
nucleus, platelets have
a short lifespan, usually
about 10 days.
18. • Platelets aggregate at
the site of a wound.
• Broken cells and
platelets release
chemicals to stimulate
thrombin production.
• Thrombin converts the
protein fibrinogen into
sticky fibrin, which
binds the clot.
Blood clotting
19. Which blood cells transport
oxygen?
1. White cells
2. Red cells
3. Platelets
4. All blood cells
20. • If a person had a defect in the gene for
fibrinogen, what health problems could
this cause?

22. Classes of blood vessels
• Blood vessels fall into three major
classes:
• Arteries and arterioles carry blood
away from the heart.
• Veins and venules carry blood to the
heart.
• Capillaries allow exchange of nutrients,
wastes and gases.
23. Arteries
• Arteries are thick-
walled, and lined
with smooth
muscle.
• How does the
structure of an
artery help with its
function?
24. Arterioles
• Arterioles branch off of arteries.
• Arterioles can constrict to direct and control
blood flow. They may, for example, increase or
decrease blood supply to the skin.
• How might arterioles be involved when:
• Your skin turns red when you are hot.
• A person’s face turns pale with fright.
25. Capillaries
• Body tissues contain a
vast network of thin
capillaries.
• Capillary walls are only
one cell thick, allowing
exchange of gases,
nutrients, and wastes.
• Capillaries are so fine
that RBCs must line up
single-file to go through
them.
26. Venules
• Venules are thin-walled collectors of
blood.
• Low pressure in the venules allows the
capillary beds to drain into them.
27. Veins
• Veins have thinner
walls than arteries.
• Veins have fewer
smooth muscle cells,
but do have valves.
How do valves and the
skeletal muscles help
veins function?
28. • Besides the ability to contract and move
blood, why do arteries need to be so
thick and strong?
• Varicose veins are veins in the legs that
are swollen, stretched, and painful. What
factors could lead to this condition, and
how can varicose veins be prevented?

29. Atherosclerosis
• LDL cholesterol forms
plaques in arteries,
triggering inflammation.
• The immune system
forms a hard cap over
the plaque, partially
blocking the artery.
Caps can rupture,
creating clots that can
close off an artery.
30. Preventing heart attacks
• Both genetic and environmental factors
contribute to atherosclerosis.
• Blood LDL cholesterol can be reduced by a
low-fat diet that emphasizes high-fiber foods,
antioxidants, and “good” fats (monounsaturated
fats, omega-3 oils), and reduce trans-fats.
• Regular exercise also contributes significantly
to LDL cholesterol reduction.
31. What is always true of arteries?
1. Always carry
oxygenated blood.
2. Always carry
deoxygenated blood.
3. Always carry blood
to the heart.
4. Always carry blood
away from the heart.
32. Besides having to constrict to move blood,
why are artery walls so thick and strong?
1. Arteries must move
oxygenated blood.
2. Arteries must
withstand very high
blood pressure when
the heart contracts.
3. Arteries must move
blood out to all parts
of the body.
33. Why are capillary walls so thin?
1. Because capillaries
are thin and narrow
2. To allow exchange
of gases and
nutrients.
3. To force RBCs to
move through in
single file.
34. • Some people who are at high risk for
heart attacks may be advised by their
doctors to take low doses of aspirin daily.
What effects does aspirin have that
would help prevent heart attacks?

36. The Vertebrate Heart
• Vertebrate hearts are separated into two
types of chambers
• Atria (singular: atrium): receive blood
from body or lungs. Contractions of the
atria send blood through a valve to the
ventricles.
• Ventricles: receive blood from atria,
contract to send blood to body or lungs.
37. Two-chambered heart
• The simplest
vertebrate heart is
the two-chambered
heart, seen in
fishes.
• A single atrium
receives blood from
the body cells. A
ventricle sends
blood to the gills to
collect oxygen.
38. Three-chambered heart
• Separate atria allow some
separation of oxygenated
and deoxygenated blood,
which was an advantage for
land organisms (reptiles,
amphibians).
• Though blood can mix in the
ventricle, mixing is minimal.
Some reptiles have partial
separation of the ventricle.
39. Four-chambered heart
• The four-chambered heart,
seen in birds and
mammals, allows complete
separation of oxygenated
and deoxygenated blood.
• Complete separation is
necessary to support a fast
metabolism found in
homeotherms.
42. Keeping Time
• The sinoatrial (SA)
node is nervous tissue
that times heart beats.
• The SA node causes
atria to contract, and
sends the signal to the
atrioventricular (AV)
node to signal the
ventricles to contract.
43. Blood pressure
• Systolic pressure =
pressure when the
heart contracts.
• Diastolic pressure =
pressure between
heart beats.
44. Which set of heart vessels moves
deoxygenated blood from the body to the
lungs?
1. Right atrium, right
ventricle
2. Right atrium, left
atrium
3. Left atrium, left
ventricle
4. Right ventricle, left
ventricle
45. If your blood pressure is 90/70, the 70
represents:
1. Systolic pressure –
heart contracts
2. Systolic pressure –
heart is relaxed
3. Diastolic pressure –
heart contracts
4. Diastolic pressure –
heart is relaxed
46. An electric pacemaker can be connected
to the heart to replace a faulty:
1. AV node
2. Bicuspid valve
3. SA node
4. Tricuspid valve
47. • Hypertension (high blood pressure) puts
people at risk for heart disease. What
long-term effects would an increase in
blood pressure have on the heart?
• What other organ system is involved in
hypertension?
