of tissues in the human body that I am going to give examples of. These include the epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ collagenous tissue and the nerve tissue. The first time of tissue is the epithelium tissue which has the function of helping to protect the body. There are four main types of epithelium tissues; squamous epithelial cells‚ Cuboidal epithelial cells‚ columnar epithelial cells and ciliated columnar cells. The squamous epithelium protects the linings in the body such as blood vessels

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

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

vital things in our lives and the chemistry they are made of. You are what you eat. But do you recall munching some molybdenum or snacking on selenium? Some 60 chemical elements are found in the body‚ but what all of them are doing there is still unknown. Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen‚ carbon‚ hydrogen and nitrogen‚ with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements.

Introduction We know a lot about the human anatomy‚ its physiology‚ and how to treat the diseases that tend to disturb the balance between them‚ but‚ that was not always the case. It has really been that only in the past few centuries‚ scientists were able to dissect and experiment on other humans. Such experiments were the main contributors to our current knowledge in some fields of science‚ especially medicine. Dissections performed on rabbits‚ mice‚ chimpanzees‚ and other animals‚ along with some

Function of the Skin The skin is more than just external covering. It acts as a sensitive boundary between our bodies and the environment. The skin has several important functions‚ for example: Protection‚ temperature regulations‚ waste removal and sense of touch. Protection • The skin acts as a protective organ. The film of sebum and sweat on the surface of the skin (acid mantle). It acts as an anti-bacterial agent to help prevent the multiplication of micro-organisms on the skin. • The fat
