P3- Outline the gross structure of all the main body systems Cardiovascular system Purpose- the purpose of the cardiovascular system is to carry blood throughout the body. To carry to the organs and other areas of the body that needs it. To carry gaseous wastes to the respiratory system so that is can get rid of them Main organ- heart‚ blood vessels‚ blood. The heart is one of the most important organs in the entire human body. It is really nothing more than a pump‚ composed of muscle which

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness throughout your body. This disorder is caused my mutations in the dystrophin gene. The dystrophin gene is responsible for the production of a muscle protein. So the muscles suffer a loss of protein and contractile fibers. Then the muscles replaced with fat and connective tissue. DMD mostly affects young males exclusively due to an x-linked recessive inheritance pattern

An Overview of Anatomy Exercise 1: Anatomical Position QUESTION: A. Explain why it is important to have a universally accepted anatomical position when studying the structure of humans. Having a universally accepted anatomical positional is important to avoid confusion. It creates a reference point so that no matter language or background of different people‚ they can still communicate efficiently. Exercise 2: Surface Anatomy A. Review Figure 3.
