The circulatory system consists of three sets of vessels that run to all parts of your body, the arteries, the veins and the lymphatic system. 1. The arteries carry fresh oxygenated blood from the heart to feed all the cells of the body. 2. The veins pick up all the depleted blood that has exchanged its oxygen for the waste products of cell metabolism back through organs like the Kidneys, Liver and Spleen to clear out these waste products and return the purified blood to the h...
Septicaemia or Septicemia is commonly known as Sepsis and is an excess of bacteria in the blood stream resulting from infection in another part of the body such as the abdomen, urinary tract or the skin. It can also result from surgery on these areas of the body. Symptoms typically start with a high fever progressing to shaking, chills, weakness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Sepsis can also cause infection in the brain (meningitis) or the heart (pericarditis). Sepsis must be treate...
Osteomyelitis is a bone infection commonly caused by bacteria but sometimes by a fungus. Bones may become infected by three different means, firstly via the blood, secondly by direct invasion such as fractures or surgery, and thirdly adjacent soft tissue infections. Once this occurs the soft inner part (bone marrow) can swell and press against the rigid outer wall of the bone. This can further complicate the pathology by cutti...

Acne is a process where the body is trying to eliminate toxins by pushing them out through skin. These toxic materials may become infected on their way out, but this infection is really just another way of assisting in the expulsion as it brings the material to a head and to the surface.
