As I show you a tour guide into the body of a healthy female. I will show you the paths to take to find the bacterium that is invading the lower lobe of the right lung and we must make it out of the body through the nose. Now let’s start in the femoral vein located in the thigh. As we sit

Glomerular Filtration Activity 1: Effect of Arteriole Diameter on Glomerular Filtration 1. Compare this data with your baseline data. How did increasing the afferent arteriole radius affect glomerular filtration rate? >>Increasing the afferent arteriole radius pushed the glomerular pressure‚ the glomerular filtration rate‚ and the volume of urine to be higher than the baseline data. Increasing the afferent arteriole radius increased the glomerular filtration rate. 2. Under

Differenitate between anatomy and physiology Anatomy: Anatomy is the study of the human body parts Physiology: Physiology is the study how each body parts function (http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-the-difference-between-anatomy-and-physiology.htm) Outline the components of the circulatory system and the blood The circulatory system is made up of the heart‚ blood vessels and the blood. It has two circuits the pulmonary and systemic. The pulmonary circuit carries blood to the lungs that needs

Musculoskeletal response: Increase blood supply: The increase in blood supply might happen as your body starts to work more efficient than usually . The blood supply has to increase because the blood has to go to the parts in your body which you are exercising the most .For example: If you go for a run‚ the blood supply will increase because your legs will need more energy‚ therefore there will be more blood going into your legs than normal because you are overworking them. Increase in muscle

One of the biggest concerns in healthcare today is cardiovascular disease. Affecting 36% of the US population alone‚ cardiovascular disease can lead to stroke‚ heart attack‚ and even death (22). Extensive research has been done investigating the causes of cardiovascular diseases. Lipids and lipoproteins have been implicated to be one of the largest factors contributing to cardiovascular disease. In order to reduce cardiovascular disease we must understand lipid metabolism. To understand lipid metabolism

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN HEART The human heart is a cone shape‚ hollow‚ muscular organ located in the mediastinum between the lungs. It is a about the size of an adult fist. The heart rests on the diaphragm‚ tilting forward and to the left in the client’s chest. Each beat of the heart pumps about 60ml of blood‚ or 5L/min. During strenuous physical activity‚ the heart can double the amount of blood pumped to meet the increased oxygen needs of the peripheral tissues. ANTERIOR VIEW
