What is the concept of Homeostasis? Homeostasis is the process of which the body attempts to maintain a state of stable physiological balance. The body has to have homeostasis to stay alive‚ if you take a psychoactive drug‚ for example a drug that may affect your mood swings and distorted perceptions. Your body then attempts to bring itself back into physiologic balance and this may create a rebound effect. The normal temperature for a human being is 36-37.5 degree C If your body gets too cold

Vivien Thomas was instrumental in devolving heart surgery that saved many babies lives and revolutionized how future heart surgeons would deal with heart problems. I chose this topic because I think Vivien Thomas was a very interesting person. Not a lot of people know about him even thought he was one of the first people to try to do surgery on the heart. So far in my project I have gone to the library and looked online. I got a lot of great information from books and the articles I have read.

Dissection of the Respiratory System of the Fetal Pig Inferior to the Larynx Dissection is an art. We must carefully and accurately dissect the pig so we can identify all important parts. We must use caution when carrying and cleaning sharp dissection tools. Dissection must help us to get to figure out specific parts of the organ that we need. In general‚ dissection in biology lab will help us to see of how all the systems get together in an entire organism. We will get to see how

Module 06 Case Study: Articulations and Nerve Tissue Part I— “Jill” Questions 1. What is the difference between a tendon and ligament? (1 point) --The difference between a tendon and a ligament is that a tendon attaches to muscle. (ie. muscle-bone‚ muscle-muscle‚ muscle- skin) A ligament‚ however‚ attaches to cartilage. (ie. cartilage-bone‚ cartilage-cartilage‚ bone-bone) 2. What bones form the articulation (joint) of the ankle? Did Jill most likely sprain or strain her ankle? Explain your

1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology. Explain the principle of complementarity and how it applies to this course. The term anatomy refers to the structure of the body and its parts. Along with the study of the body structure‚ anatomy also refers to how these body parts work together and their working relationship as a whole. Physiology is the study of how the living systems in the body function and work. When studying the Physiology of the body it is most understandable if terms from the underlying

metabolism the first thing you might think of is the number of calories your cells burn each day. Metabolism is actually the sum of all chemical reactions that take place in the body. Metabolic reactions that produce energy are dependent on the cardiovascular system‚ which send oxygen to all the cells in your body. Although metabolism is not primarily made of reactions that burn nutrients like carbohydrates‚ fats and protein‚ these are perhaps the most widely known of the metabolic reactions. (CITE)

University of Phoenix Material Animations: The Cardiovascular System Hemopoiesis After viewing the animation‚ answer these questions. 1. Hemopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation‚ which occurs primarily in the red bone marrow. 2. Hemopoiesis begins with undifferentiated cells called hemocytoblasts. 3. These stem cells give rise to many different cell types that make up the cellular elements of blood. 4. What types of hormones influence the differentiation

Laboratory report investigating the equine respiratory and cardiovascular systems Introduction The respiratory and cardiovascular systems of the horse work together to transport oxygen around the body and play an essential part in providing the horse with its increased need for oxygen during exercise. They allow the musculoskeletal system to use energy to facilitate motion. The cardiovascular system comprises the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. The heart pumps blood around the body
