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

Anatomy and Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory

PHYSIOLOGY OF THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM The male reproductive system and Hypospadias. Tracey Cooper 12003848 HNC Health Care (A) Sam Bright The male reproductive system and hypospadias. The main focus of this essay is to explore‚ if any‚ the physical effects that hypospadias can have on the male reproductive system. Through investigation of websites and articles‚ the aim is to raise awareness of the defect whilst also describing the aetiology or symptoms along with any known‚ long

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

Computer Simulation of Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Passive Processes and Active Processes Introduction In this lab we will establish a difference between the two types of cell transport mechanisms and their permeability. The first type of cell transport is passive processes which are driven by concentration or pressure differences in the interior and exterior of the cell. The second type is active processes which use energy known as ATP to power the transport. There are two

Sakariye .M Biology 5/27/2014 ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS AND HOW THEY AFFECT EVERYTHING “Our Stolen Future” by Theo Colborn is about the health and environmental threats created by man-made chemical contaminants that interfere with hormones in humans and wildlife. In this paper i’ll explain what is an endocrine system‚ what are endocrine disruptors‚ and how endocrine disruptors affect humans. The endocrine system includes all of the glands of the body and the hormones produced by those glands

The endocrine system works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. The endocrine system secretes hormones in the human body‚ which are produced in endocrine glands and are released into the bloodstream to travel to the its specific target cell‚ tissue‚ or organ. Exocrine glands produce chemicals that are discharged into the surroundings. Hormones can either produce short-lived responses or long-term responses. An example of a short-lived response is when adrenaline (epinephrine)causes the
