Unit 1- Principles of Anatomy and Physiology Functions of the skeletal system There are five main functions of the skeletal system. To protect‚ to support‚ movement‚ cell production and storage. The skeletal system protects delicate and important organs from harm. An example of this is the ribcage. This protects your heart and lungs from anything that tries to harm it. Another example is the brain. The brain is protected by the skull. The skeletal system also provides support for the body as it

AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology‚ and explain their relationship using an example of a human structure with its corresponding function. Anatomy: The branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ esp. as revealed by dissection. Physiology: The branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. Anatomy and physiology are connected in the way

body The three systems in our body that work together are cardiovascular‚ respiratory and digestive systems which supply energy to the cells of the body. I will be describing their role of energy in the body system; also I am going to explain the physiology of the three named body systems in relation to energy metabolism. Respiratory System The respiratory system consists of tissues and organs in our body which are formed into groups. The system includes airways‚ lungs‚ blood vessels and muscles attached
