oxygen and respiratory disease. Respiratory disease is the term used for defining diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‚ emphysema and asthma. Common signs and symptoms of respiratory disease are coughing‚ wheezing‚ dyspnoea and production of abnormal secretions like sputum and haemoptysis (Jenkins et al 2008). Respiratory disease accounted for 8.4% of the registered deaths in Australia in 2007. There was an estimated 6.6% increase in deaths caused by respiratory disease from

Responsiveness- is a property of all living cells- Muscle and nerve cells have developed this property to the highest degree. When stimulated by chemical signals‚ stretch‚ and other stimuli‚ muscle cells respond with electrical changes across the plasma membrane. b. Conductivity- Stimulation of a muscle cell produces

BSC2085 Anatomy-Physiology 1 Exam 2 Study Guide‚ Chapters 5 & 6 There are only four primary tissue types found in adult organs; epithelial‚ connective‚ nervous‚ and muscular tissue. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities‚ covers the body surface‚ and forms the lining of many organs. Connective tissue serves in most cases to bind organs to each other. Nervous tissue and muscular tissue are considered excitable tissues because they are very sensitive to outside stimuli. A simple epithelium consists

Human Anatomy The word anatomy is derived from greek word ”anatome” which means cutting up. However anatomy does not strictly mean cutting up. Human anatomy is the science which deals with the structure of the human body and for the purpose of studying the structure‚ cutting up a body is necessary. Under the scope of anatomy one studies the theatre in which action is taking place. In other words one can say that anatomy is to physiology as geography is to history. Subdivisions of human anatomy: In

Physiology Assignment After searching for a couple of days and still being unsure of what I was going to write about I turned and was watching my fish in my fish tank and realized that was what I would do it on. Then I realized that I spend many hour throughout the week watching my fish swim around‚ it is almost therapeutic. I found that the anatomy and physiology of a fish is very unique so that they can exist in the different underwater environments. In this paper we will cover their circulatory
