Skeletal System Skeletal system is the biological system providing support in living organisms. Skin‚ muscle and bones allow movement. Skin - pliable covering. Muscles do actual moving. Bones give anchor to move against. The skeleton functions not only as the support for the body but also in haematopoiesis‚ the manufacture of blood cells that takes place in bone marrow. This is why people who have cancer of the bone marrow almost always die. It is also necessary for protection of vital organs

Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to become familiar with the electrocardiograph to help us determine the electrical activity of the heart. As well as‚ to observe how exercise and different body positions(conditions) can affect the activity of the heart. Introduction Trained professionals can look at the EKG tracing and determine if the heart is normal or if the heart is abnormal. “An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart. The heart produces tiny electrical impulses which spread

society’s people based on their respective behaviors‚ while an injustice is giving harsher punishment to an individual that displayed the same behavior as another. In my life‚ I have experienced both justices and injustices‚ but during my felony drug arrest I encountered both concurrently. The judicial system unjustly treats equal people differently and different people equally.

Tissues Essay There are four major categories of tissues in the human body. Each of them separate into even smaller groups with specific structures and functions. The four major types are epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscle tissue and cardiac tissue. They are all necessities of the human body and contribute to many functions our bodies and cells carry out in order to survive. Tissues interact and group together to make up organs which then compose systems and the human body all together

10.1 OVERVIEW OF MUSCULAR TISSUE Types of muscular tissue There are 3 types of muscular tissue: skeletal‚ cardiac‚ & smooth. All 3 may share some things but they differ from one another in their microscopic anatomy‚ location‚ & how they are controlled by the nervous and endocrine systems Skeletal muscle tissue function of most is to move bones of the skeleton (are few that attach to other structures ex--the skin). Muscle tissue is striated b/c alternating light and dark protein bands (striations)

contain sarcomeres‚ which are made up of thick protein filaments known as actin and myosin. All of these components make up the two types of fibers‚ slow-twitch and fast-twitch. The muscles also contain 3 distinct tissues known as cardiac‚ skeletal‚ and smooth. Both cardiac and smooth muscle cells are under involuntary control and are located in the walls of organs; however‚ the skeletal fibers occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton and are under voluntary control. Muscles are specialized

Why? This is because the cardiac muscle cells depolarize 4. How do the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to regulate heart rate? Sympathetic neurons increase the heart rate while the parasympathetic neurons decrease the heart rate and the heart stimultaneously receives both neurons signals 5. Complete the following: As heart rate decreases‚ cardiac output _______ (assuming stroke volume remains the same). As heart rate increases‚ cardiac output ________ (assuming

Is a small area in the upper wall of the Right atrium‚ close to the vena cava; the fibers of the of the SAN contract 70 times each minutes‚ and after that the impulse is disperse across the atrial cardiac muscle. 2. Simultaneous contraction occurs in both‚ the right and the left; that is mean between tricuspid and bicuspid valves. 3. The atria contraction sends impulses

UNIT 2 As soon as you begin to exercise changes begin to happen within your body. Body systems work together‚ to make sure that you have enough energy to perform. Body systems respond both in the Short and Long-term in response to exercise. It is important to understand the changes that happen to the body as a result of physical activity. You will understand the: Muscoskeletal‚ Cardiovascular and Respiratory responses to exercise through this unit As soon as you begin to exercise changes begin

purposes‚ functions and locations in the body. They are skeletal muscle‚ cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is named this because it is attached to and moves the skeleton. It is under the direct and normally voluntary or conscious control of the nervous system. Sometimes skeletal muscles are also called or known as striated (meaning ‘striped) muscle because when viewed under a microscope they are striped. Cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and is the specialized muscle of the
