Smoking
  1. Cardiovascular system
    1. Atherosclerosis
      1. The deposition of fatty substances in the walls of the arteries
        1. CO damages endothelium of arteries
          1. Damage repaired by phagocytes
            1. Encourages growth of smooth muscle and deposition of fatty substances
          2. Deposition of fatty substances, fibres, dead blood cells, plateletes are atheromas
            1. High blood pressure increases deposition of cholesterol
            2. Atheromas eventually form plaque, sticking out into lumen
              1. Artery wall becomes rougher and less flexible
                1. Reduces size of lumen of artery
                  1. Reduces blood flow
                2. Nicotine causes increase in blood pressure
                  1. Damage to arteries
                    1. More atheromas
                3. Coronary heart disease (CHD)
                  1. A disease of the heart caused by malfunction of the coronary arteries
                    1. Narrowing of coronary arteries means reduce blood flow to heart muscles
                      1. Less oxygen to the heart
                      2. CO binds irreversibly with haemoglobin, reducing the amount of oxygen to tissues, e.g. heart
                        1. Nicotine makes platelets sticky, increasing chances of blood clot (thrombus)
                          1. Can cause heart attack if in coronary arteries
                        2. Stroke
                          1. The death of part of the brain due to a lack of blood flow to that part of the brain and subsequent oxygen deficiency
                            1. Thrombus floating around blocks a small artery leading to brain
                              1. Haemorrhage - artery leading to brain bursts
                                1. Nicotine increases risk of blood clots
                                  1. CO reduces amount of oxygen as binds to haemoglobin
                                2. Gas exchange system
                                  1. Lung cancer
                                    1. Symptoms

                                                  1. If mutation in genes controlling cell division then uncontrolled cell division takes place - cancer
                                                2. Emphysema
                                                  1. Loss of elasticity in the alveoli, which causes alveoli to burst
