Anatomy and physiology of the brain and spinal cord The brain is a spongy organ made up of nerve and supportive tissues. It is located in the head and is protected by a bony covering called the skull. The base‚ or lower part‚ of the brain is connected to the spinal cord. Together‚ the brain and spinal cord are known as the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord contains nerves that send information to and from the brain. The CNS works with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS

Chameleons Organism Physiology Brianna Kibler October 1‚ 2014 Principles of Biology BIO/101 Matthew Scholten Organism Physiology We know that an organism is anything that is living and can function by itself. This paper will help understand chameleons and how they have evolved to adapt to their surroundings. It will also discuss their physical features inside and out. Myths and facts will be revealed‚ as well as a few comparisons between sexes. Though there are many species of chameleons

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The pelvis is a large semicircular bone complex that forms the base on which the torso and upper body are positioned. The pelvis‚ which is a rigid and inflexible portion of the skeleton‚ is built to provide a foundation of the movement of other parts of the anatomy‚ particularly the back and the legs. The pelvis also permits the weight of the entire upper body to be evenly distributed

Human Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy - the study of the form or structure and arrangement of body parts and their relationships Physiology - the study of the functions of the body parts or structures and their relationships in maintaining life processes. Levels of Structural Organization The human body consists of levels of structural organization that are associated with one another. There are six levels of structural organization: I. chemical level - It is the simplest level and it includes
