The respiratory system of the horse is well adapted to athletic exercise‚ with unrestricted upper airway diameters‚ and a large lung capacity afforded by 18 ribs. These combine to enable air intakes of up to 1800 litres per minute in a galloping horse. Volumes of up to 300 litres of blood are pumped at high pressure through small lung capillaries surrounding 10 million air sacs to take up and deliver over 70 litres of oxygen per minute to the working muscles at the gallop. As a result‚ any restriction

5 The Integumentary System FOCUS: The integumentary system consists of the skin‚ hair‚ nails‚ and a variety of glands. The epidermis of the skin provides protection against abrasion‚ ultraviolet light‚ and water loss‚ and produces vitamin D. The dermis provides structural strength and contains blood vessels involved in temperature regulation. The skin is attached to underlying tissue by the hypodermis‚ which is a major site of fat storage. CONTENT LEARNING ACTIVITY Hypodermis ❛❛The hypodermis

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Functions of the Digestive System • Ingestion- where in food from outside of the body enters the alimentary tract through the mouth • Digestion- which could be mechanical (physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces or chemical (enzymatic action) • Absorption of digested materials into venous circulation as well as lymphatic capillaries • Provision of nutrients to the cells of the body • Elimination of undigested materials ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE

The Respiratory System is crucial to every human being. Without it‚ we would cease to live outside of the womb. Let us begin by taking a look at the structure of the respiratory system and how vital it is to life. During inhalation or exhalation air is pulled towards or away from the lungs‚ by several cavities‚ tubes‚ and openings. The organs of the respiratory system make sure that oxygen enters our bodies and carbon dioxide leaves our bodies. The respiratory tract is the path of air from the

The papillary layer has areolar connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers. Its surface contains peg-like projections called dermal papillae. The papillae contain capillary loops‚ Meissner’s corpuscles‚ and free nerve endings. The other layer of the dermis is the reticular layer. This layer accounts for 80% of the thickness of the skin. The collagen fibers add

Chan ■ Wireless communication using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems enables increased spectral efficiency for a given total transmit power. Increased capacity is achieved by introducing additional spatial channels that are exploited by using space-time coding. In this article‚ we survey the environmental factors that affect MIMO capacity. These
