ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe‚ we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. Respiration is achieved through the mouth‚ nose‚ trachea‚ lungs‚ and diaphragm. Oxygen enters the

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

Horner’s Syndrome Anatomy and physiology Horner’s syndrome is a rare condition that targets the nerves in one’s eyes and face. Horner’s syndrome is caused by any type of interruption in a pack of nerves that begin in a part of one’s brain that is called the hypothalamus and it travels to one’s face to their eyes. Horner’s syndrome’s symptoms include‚ drooping eyelips‚ and small constricted pupil. In an eye examine one’s eye may have changed in the way one’s pupil opens and closes or

Does not allow for passive diffusion easily. Columnar – tall‚ vertical‚ thick cells. Can be found in the small intestine. Does not allow passive diffusion easily. Active transport is needed. Move nutrients from intestine to blood = absorption! Can have microvilli to increase surface area. Squamous – large‚ thin and prominent

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART Anatomy: The heart and heart wall layers: The heart is located in the left side of the mediastinum; it consists of three muscle layers the Endocardium‚ myocardium‚ and epicardium. The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. The myocardium is the idle layer of and actual contracting muscle of the heart. The endocardium is the innermost layer and lines the inner chambers and heart valves. Pericardial sac: The pericardial sac encases and protects

level of the mitochondria in the muscle‚ so the more mitochondria means the body can be in a longer state of aerobic respiration (Bonen & Shaw 2008). 2b) V02 max decrease is accompanied by the loss of lean muscle tissue as one ages. According to a study by Betik and Hepple (1988)‚ the reduced rate of muscle oxygen delivery caused by a lowered cardiac output‚ reduced skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and mitochondrial volume and density‚ are important factors that cause this decline. It is also important
