Structures and functions of the Digestion System This essay aims to explain the structure and functions of the digestion system‚ starting from consuming a cooked dinner to chemical and physical changes within the body‚ to prepare or help absorption of vital nutrients and help disposal of waste. The structure of the digestive system starts with the gastrointestinal tract‚ it is a tube that runs from the mouth to the anus and because of this some scientist says it is an external organ; there

The Respiratory System STRUCTURAL PLAN Basic plan of respiratory system would be similar to an inverted tree if it were hollow; leaves of the tree would be comparable to alveoli‚ with the microscopic sacs enclosed by networks of capillaries (Figure 14-1) Passive transport process of diffusion is responsible for the exchange of gases that occur during respiration. RESPIRATORY TRACTS Upper respiratory tract—nose‚ pharynx‚ and larynx Lower respiratory tract—trachea‚ bronchial tree‚ and lungs

function of the Autonomic Nervous System Introduction: The organs of our body are controlled by many systems in order to function correctly and efficiently in order to survive within the environment we live in. These include the heart‚ stomach and intestines and other vital organs and body systems.

Autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system (ANS or visceral nervous system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness‚ and controls visceral functions. The ANS affects heart rate‚ digestion‚ respiration rate‚ salivation‚ perspiration‚ diameter of the pupils‚ micturition (urination)‚ and sexual arousal. Whereas most of its actions are involuntary‚ some‚ such as breathing‚ work in tandem with the conscious

A&P II Instructor: David Armoogam September 10‚ 2010 The respiratory system helps with breathing‚ inhaling and exhaling. The respiratory systems main function is to give oxygen to the body’s cells and get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce. Breathing would be impossible without the respiratory system‚ which includes the nose‚ throat‚ voice box‚ windpipe‚ and lungs. In this essay I plan on explaining how the respiratory system functions as well as its parts. The exchange of two gases called

explained as a product of various non-moral processes‚ such as system justification or social dominance orientation. In this article we argue that‚ from an anthropological perspective‚ the moral domain is usually much broader‚ encompassing many more aspects of social life and valuing institutions as much or more than individuals. We present theoretical and empirical reasons for believing that there are in fact five psychological systems that provide the foundations for the world’s many moralities.
