Chapter 5 The skin is composed of two distinct regions‚ the epidermis and the dermis. These two areas are firmly attached to one another along a wavy borderline. The epidermis (epi = upon) composed of epithelial cells‚ and is the outermost protective shield of the body. Epidermis - Structurally‚ the epidermis is a thick keratinued stratified squamous epithelium consisting of four distinct cell types and five distinct layers. Cells of the Epidermis - Cells populating the epidermis include: keratinocytes

Research Proposal Project Topic and Hypothesis Our experiment is about how people in various countries react to two people in a physical fight. We chose this topic because we wanted to see if people would be willing to step in to stop a fight‚ even if it meant they may be injured. Also‚ we wanted to know if race had anything to do with a person’s willingness to step in‚ thus we are conducting the study in multiple countries. Along with this we want to see if the gender of the people fighting

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

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN HEART The human heart is a cone shape‚ hollow‚ muscular organ located in the mediastinum between the lungs. It is a about the size of an adult fist. The heart rests on the diaphragm‚ tilting forward and to the left in the client’s chest. Each beat of the heart pumps about 60ml of blood‚ or 5L/min. During strenuous physical activity‚ the heart can double the amount of blood pumped to meet the increased oxygen needs of the peripheral tissues. ANTERIOR VIEW

CRUISE SHIP A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages‚ where the voyage itself and the ship’s amenities are part of the experience‚ as well as the different destinations along the way. Transportation is not the prime purpose‚ as cruise ships operate mostly on routes that return passengers to their originating port‚ so the ports of call are usually in a specified region of a continent. The rapid growth and specialization process experienced by the cruise industry

Anatomy of the maxillary sinus: The maxilla consists of a variety of anatomic structures‚ including the maxillary sinus‚ the lateral nasal walls‚ the pterygoid plates‚ associated vasculature structures‚ and teeth. The maxillary sinus is pyramidal in shape. The base of the pyramid is the medial wall of the sinus that is also the lateral wall of the nasal cavity‚ and its apex is pointed towards the zygomatic bone. The roof of the sinus is also the floor of the orbit. The sinus has a
