Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The current state of knowledge of the normal biota of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems.
Concept introduction:
Cardiovascular system is a system which allows blood to flow throughout the body and transports nutrients, gases and other important enzymes in and out of the cells. Lymphatic system is a closed circulatory system that consists of the lymph vessels, lymph capillaries and lymph nodes. It regulates the tissue fluid volume and absorbs fat from small intestine and also helps the body in defending against pathogen attack.

Define what is meant by blood groups, explain how they areinherited and expressed, and relate the primary medical concernsof blood transfusions.
Draw a diagram/flowchart and describe in detail the process of normal clot formation AND breakdown, including the role of factors, enzymes, plasma proteins, erythrocytes, platelets, etc. Then explain, using at least three specific examples, diseases or conditions that can affect this process, leading to the inability to clot or the abnormal formation of clots. Focus on the mechanism of each disease/condition, citing specific changes in genome, transciptoin/translation, etc.
