Without energy all people would be useless not being able to do anything. Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded people we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy

Unit 1- Principles of Anatomy and Physiology Functions of the skeletal system There are five main functions of the skeletal system. To protect‚ to support‚ movement‚ cell production and storage. The skeletal system protects delicate and important organs from harm. An example of this is the ribcage. This protects your heart and lungs from anything that tries to harm it. Another example is the brain. The brain is protected by the skull. The skeletal system also provides support for the body as it

upwind generators. This entire assembly rotates when wind blows past the blades‚ hence the name “rotor.” In many small wind turbines the rotor is coupled to a shaft which is coupled to an alternator‚ a device that produces AC electricity. Fig 3.12 Anatomy of a Wind Generator Electricity is produced by alternators which consist of two main parts: a stationary winding‚ known as the stator; and rotating magnets‚ known as the rotor. Metal magnets are preferred to electromagnets in
