Background knowledge is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for enabling critical thought within a given subject. Critical thinking involves both cognitive skills and dispositions. These dispositions‚ which can be seen as attitudes or habits of mind‚ include

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

What is the integumentary system and its primary characteristics? The integumentary system is the skin and its derivatives; it provides external protection for the body. Its characteristics are: covers the entire body‚ accounts for about 7% of total body weight‚ pliable‚ yet durable‚ thickness: 1.5 to 4.0 mm‚ composed of the epidermis

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

Rachel Miley Anatomy and Physiology Hassan’s Story 1. The clue that would help Stefan would be the depressions and the openings on the anterior and posterior scapular. They are several depressions on the scapula that include the acromion‚ superior angle‚ subscapular fossa‚ medial border‚ lateral border‚ inferior angle‚ glenoid cavity‚ coracoid process‚ and many more. The glenoid cavity is the shallow‚ oval socket that articulates with the Humerus. 2. Stefan is referring to the collarbone as
