This system gives the body form and support‚ and protects the body while allowing it to move. Basically‚ the muscles in this system perform three important body functions: the movement of body parts‚ maintenance of body parts‚ and production of body heat. These muscles all consist of a mass of protein fibers grouped together‚ and most are of mesodermal origin. And almost all of the muscle fibers you will ever have or need were present at birth. Nearly half of your body mass is muscles‚ the largest

1. Thermoreceptors perceive the impact of heat on the part of human body and send signals through neurons to brain that causes the feeling of pain. If the signals fail to pass from thermoreceptors to brain‚ the risk of burning the part of the body arises. The pain is the indicator of the danger to human body and the ultimate manifestation of pain is a pain shock‚ which may be deadly for human body. 2. Olfaction is responsible for smell sense. Gustation is responsible for taste. They involve chemical

Homeostasis in the Human Body Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within tolerance limits‚ this is the restricted range of conditions where cellular operations effectively work at a consistent rate and maintain life. These conditions include temperature‚ blood glucose levels‚ pupil diameter control and many more. The body is made up of many cells. Many specialized cells group up to form a tissue. Tissues group up to form organs‚ these organs can then connect to form

Pigs live on a farm. Sadly‚ humans eat pigs for ham‚ pork and bacon. Bacon is good for the heart. Hearts are inside the human body. Without a heart‚ a human could not live. Without humans‚ our world would be over come with animals. Animals are important for the human world. Animals prove food‚ so humans can grow and become strong. Humans can exercise to strengthen their muscles. Muscles are very important for the human body. They are also very complex item in the body but are very important. Another

The human body is composed of many different types of cells. Cells are composed of many different types of molecules. Molecules consist of one or more atoms of one or more elements joined by chemical bonds. An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons which can produce free radicals. The free radicals can start chain reaction in the body and cause damage to cells and important chemicals in the body. Free

Week one written assignment for Kinesiology Bronwyn Oihus Abstract As humans our bodies are made up of several types of tissues‚ organs‚ bones muscles and nerves. I am going to talk about the joints of the skeletal system. The skeletal system gives us our shape and protects the inner structures of our bodies. In this system there are areas where 2 or more bones are held together in one of three ways. These are called joints and the bones and movement of the bones classifies the type of joint

To understanding the metabolism of alcohol‚ we should know that what is alcohol‚ how is it affect human body. Alcohol is being considered one of the most commonly used drugs because it has adverse impacts on human’s health through how it’s metabolized. Alcohol is a compound of hydrogen‚ carbon and oxygen‚ which can be combined in many different ways. The commonest as known as ethyl ethanol‚ which is a specific alcohol compound (C2H5OH) and formed from the fermentation of yeast‚ sugars

How does yeast affect a person’s body and contaminate foods? Yeast can be formed from eating too much sugar‚ and bread. It makes fungus grow with other collection of the living one celled organism that partakes of the nature of plant life. Yeast can grow when it’s warm‚ when it has moisture and food‚ the walls of these little one celled plants could bulge on the side in an oval shape. Yeast can be killed from the boiling of hot water. For the human body yeast could be killed from taking antibiotics
