The cardiovascular system is a system of organs that facilitates the circulation of blood to all parts of the body. Blood is required to reach all living cells as the blood carries essential elements for cell life and regulation, such as nutrients, amino acids, electrolytes,oxygen and hormones. The blood also has a role in maintaining body temperature, fighting diseases, maintaining a stable pH and maintaining homeostasis. The blood also carries carbon dioxide away from the cells. The cardiovascular system consists of a network of arteries, veins and capillaries, as well as the heart, which acts to pump blood around the body, Blood leaves the heart via arteries and return via veins. The lymphatic system transports lymph, typically at a much slower rate than blood. The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system. Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system. The cardiovascular system processes a lot of blood each day through capillary filtration, which separates the blood cells from the plasma. Not all plasma is re-absorbed into the blood vessels, and the lymphatic system is responsible for returning the remaining plasma to the cardiovascular system. <span> </span>

Can you explain why sc in capisco and capisci sound different, but c and ch in gioco and giochi sound similar, despite the spell

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The difference is due to the succeeding vowel sound strength (whether it is weak or strong)

Explanation:

"ch" produces "k" like sound. Whenever , alphabet "c" with in any word comes before any weak vowel sound such as i or e , it always sound as "ch".

Therefore, c and ch in gioco and giochi are sound similar.

"sc" sounds like "sh" when it comes before any weak vowel sound (as in the case of capisci)

"sc" sounds like "sk" when it comes before any strong vowel sound (as in the case of capisco)

Why is it important to follow strict safety procedures when handling a urine sample

xz_007 [3.2K]

Because you could easily contaminate the results of the urine if you don't follow exactly what the strict rules dictate This could be a very dangerous thing because if you contaminate the results, then other doctors would think that the patient has some disease that needs to be taken care of which in reality they do not. The patient could also have to go through things or waste money on things that they don't need to because there was something in the urine that wasn't supposed to be there which was added because they didn't follow the strict rules. Then the doctor who contaminated it could be sued for malpractice which is never a good thing.
