WEEK 1: 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 is the study of the structures and relationship between body parts. Physiology is the study of the function of body parts and the body as a whole. The kidneys remove wastes and water from the blood. 2. List‚ in order from least to most complex‚ the levels of structural

What are bodily systems?- Bodily systems are basically default programmes within our body that pickup information from within or the external environment and trigger an automated response. For example if you were to run‚ your body would increase its heart rate to match the oxygen demand made by the muscles. This is done without thinking and it is made possible by how the brain has cleverly integrated with all the bodily systems‚ from the digestive system to the circulatory system. It is critical

The endocrine system is one of our body systems that plays an important role in living. It comprises of many glands exerting hormones in maintaining the body’s internal environment also known as homeostasis. The endocrine system plays an important role in homeostasis because it maintains growth and development‚ maturation‚ reproduction‚ human behavior‚ metabolism‚ sexual function and controls functions of the tissues. It is partnered with the nervous system since the hypothalamus along with the pineal

Function The urinary system helps maintain homeostasis by regulating water balance and by removing harmful substances from the blood. The blood is filtered by two kidneys‚ which produce urine‚ a fluid containing toxic substances and waste products. From each kidney‚ the urine flows through a tube‚ the ureter‚ to the urinary bladder‚ where it is stored until it is expelled from the body through another tube‚ the urethra. The kidneys are surrounded by three layers of tissue: The renal fascia
