1. Label a diagram of the respiratory system?? 2. Describe the process of breathing?? Breathing consists of two phases. The first is inspiration and the second is expiration. During inspiration‚ the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is basically a tube running through the body from the mouth to the anus. The organs of the digestive system include the oral cavity (mouth)‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and large intestine and rectum. Their role is to break down food and deliver the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells. The undigested food that remains in the tract leaves the body through the anus as feces. The break down activities that

child‚ I knew I had a strong interest in becoming something in the medical field. Anatomy has always been a very important factor to have in my life because of all the things I’ve witnessed growing up in a place where there was no one educated enough to help out. Thus‚ I took the Anatomy and Physiology course provided at my school. Taking this class informed me of the structure and functions of the body parts in the human system such as the Immune and Digestive system‚ which can affect pregnant women
