Human Anatomy (1050 web) Writing Assignment Week 12: Due December 11th‚ 2012 Amanda Anousaya – 0543539 Question 1: When ever I think of retracing the path that food takes throughout the body I instantly think of a Magic School Bus episode. The first part of digestion would be as soon as you use your sense of smell‚ which triggers your salivary glands to secrete saliva. Once you take your first bite‚ your saliva increases even more. You then break down the food by chewing. Even more saliva

03 - 03 - 2006 RESULT The amount of neural discharge due to stimulation of tactile sensilla receptor is posted on figure 1. FIGURE 1: Mean action potential activity of tactile sensilla receptors in femural of cockroach. In this experiment‚ it was found that there exists a spontaneous resting activity within the cockroach tibia even though tactile sensilla receptors have not yet been stimulated. From figure 1 it can be observed that the mean spontaneous resting activity of the cockroach leg is

Isotonic contraction (“same tone” or tension) - In isotonic contractions‚ myofilaments are successful in their sliding movements‚ the muscle shortens‚ and movement occurs. Contractions in which the muscles do not shorten are called isometric contractions (“same measurement” or length). In isometric contractions‚ the myosin mysofilaments are “skidding their wheels‚” and the twnaion

As mammals our aerobic metabolic system requires oxygen for us to sustain life. The organ that transports oxygen from the environment into the body where it is needed‚ are the lungs. Oxygen is transported through cellular respiration from the lungs to tissues and organs. Between 2‚100 to 2‚400 gallons of air is breathed to fuel 2‚400 gallons of blood that is pumped into the heart. Respiration is controlled by the medulla oblongata‚ which deals with the autonomic function of breathing. This characteristic
