As I show you a tour guide into the body of a healthy female. I will show you the paths to take to find the bacterium that is invading the lower lobe of the right lung and we must make it out of the body through the nose. Now let’s start in the femoral vein located in the thigh. As we sit

SENSE- is the ability to perceive stimuli. SENSATION (PERCEPTION)- is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors. GENERAL SENSES- are those with receptors distributed over a large part of the body. SOMATIC SENSES- provides sensory information about the body and the environment. VISCERAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure and are localized to specific parts of the body such as pain and pressure. SPECIAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure such as smell

sides of the mouth. Also inside the mouth behind the tongue is the pharynx‚ or throat. In the pharynx‚ there are several openings: one into the esophagus‚ the tube into which food is swallowed; one into the glottis‚ through which air enters the larynx‚ or voice box; and two into the Eustachian tubes‚ which connect the pharynx to the ear. The digestive system consists of the organs of the digestive tract‚ or food tube‚ and the digestive glands. From the esophagus‚ swallowed food moves into the stomach

In this assignment I will explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. I will be explaining two body systems these are Respiratory system and Digestive system. Energy According to Wright (2007)‚ we need energy for everything we do. Energy can be found in different forms including chemical energy‚ electrical energy‚ thermal energy‚ radiant energy‚ mechanical energy and nuclear energy. We use energy all the time including when we are sleeping. We

Prior to the development of a vaccine‚ mortality rates were extremely high with a 90 percent of diphtheria throughout the larynx‚ which is a muscular organ ‚ forming the air pipe to the lungs and holds the vocal cords.

Unit 5 Outcome 2 – Energy Metabolism Booklet The Respiratory System The respiratory system consists of the nose‚ mouth‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. These provide a passageway to allow air in and out of the body. Every cell in the body requires oxygen to survive. The primary function of the respiratory system is the exchange of gases. The respiratory system allows oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange‚ this is necessary to sustain life. During the process of breathing air is inhaled

the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. Respiration is achieved through the mouth‚ nose‚ trachea‚ lungs‚ and diaphragm. Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. The oxygen then passes through the larynx (where speech sounds are produced) and the trachea which is a tube that enters the chest cavity. In the chest cavity‚ the trachea splits into two smaller tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus then divides again forming the bronchial tubes. The bronchial
