The function of the digestive system is to absorb and assimilate key nutrients which are required to maintain and regulate other systems in the body. Enzymes secreted within the digestive system have a role of breaking down food from proteins into amino acids‚ starch into glucose and fats into a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the

2011 Respiratory Diseases: Infections Invading the Lungs The average human takes breathing for granted. One might think that breathing is just an involuntary movement‚ but for the millions of people who suffer from respiratory illnesses‚ each and every breath is a major accomplishment to another day of daily life. The respiratory system not only oxygenates the blood for the body‚ but also filters out wastes‚ infections‚ and provides the air that is needed for daily speech. The respiratory system

The human body has to be controlled from advanced systems internally of which connect in order to function effectively. There are ten main systems within the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids‚ gases‚ and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into 1) fluid statics‚ the study of fluids at rest; 2) fluid kinematics‚ the study of fluids in motion; 3) fluid dynamics‚ the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid Mechanics Overview Fluid is a substance that is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own. It assumes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are

Emily Chuang Mechanics of Swimming The crawl‚ also known as freestyle‚ is often regarded as the fastest swimming style. The legs perform a fluttering movement called the flutter kick to propel the body from behind while the elbows take turns moving in a semicircle movement in the swimming direction. One arm relaxes while the other is driven forward. The head is to be kept down in the water when not breathing. To breathe‚ the head turns sideways out of the water and air is to be taken in by the mouth

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
