Chapter 6 Ossecous Tissue and Skeletal Structure The Skeletal system consists of bones and their associated connective tissues‚ including cartilage‚ tendon and ligaments. I. Function of the Skeletal System 1) Bone- The most rigid component of skeletal system a) Support- serves as a framework; Maintains body’s shape b) Protection- of critical internal organs‚ brain‚ heart and lungs c) Lever System- for muscles to produce body movements d) Mineral storage- e.g. Calcium and

Michelle Hatton-Cowan Professor Micah Parker BHSR-115-01 16 March 2013 Putting the Pieces Together While recently putting a puzzle together with my family I realized that we had a very certain way of putting it together. We had the person who laid out all the pieces and was constantly looking for the ones that went together. Another person would carefully put pieces together that the first person had laid out and make sure there were no discrepancies. The last person would oversee everyone

The equine endocrine system is a group of organs that release hormones in the horses body to regulate things like growth‚ metabolism‚ and reproduction. Hormones production is directed by brain signals caused by outside stimuli and it maintained through negative and positive feedback loops. One of the main organs in the endocrine system is the pituitary gland located on the floor of the skull. The hormones produced by the pituitary have a variety of functions from metabolism to reproduction. The most

and outer tangential walls. Lacunar Collenchyma Lacunar collenchyma consist thickening around the cell walls facing the cavity lumen or intracellular spaces. Sclerenchyma tissue is composed of cells with rigid cell walls and they function to support the weight of a plant organ. The main function is as supporting tissues that withstands various strains resulting from stretching and bending which makes the plant elastics. There are two types of sclerenchyma cells which are fibers andsclereids. They

correctly answered: b. albumin 4. When diffusion stops‚ we say the solution has reached You correctly answered: a. equilibrium. Review Sheet Results 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Your answer: The two variable that affect the rate of diffusion are as follows: -the composition of the lipid layer which can vary from tissue to tissue -the size of the molecule(the larger the size the slower the rate of diffusion) 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse

Epithelial tissue always rests on a basement membrane. The characteristics are: lack of visible interstitial space‚ many cells‚ and no blood vessels. A. Simple Squamous: (kidney slide). Look in the outer edge or cortex of the kidney to find a Bowman’s capsule. The lining of the Bowman’s

The Endocrine system helps to maintain homeostasis by secreting hormones into the bloodstream‚ which travels throughout the body. This system regulates activities such as growth and development and influence emotions and behavior. The relationship of this system alongside the other body systems is how the body maintain a stable equilibrium‚ regulating the activity of the organ systems. Nervous - The endocrine system acts as a communication tool within the human body‚ working alongside with the nervous
