Chapter 16-Lymphatic System & Immunity 1. Explain the functions of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system functions to balance fluid‚ lipid absorption (via lacteals=lymph capillaries) and defense. It removes toxins/pathogens‚ fight infections and transports excess fluid in the interstitial spaces and returns it to the blood stream. Lacteals absorb digested fats from small intestines and transports it to venous circulation. 2. Trace the general pathway of lymph from the interstitial

Anatomy 1 Research Paper The Respiratory System As humans‚ our body is made out of different systems‚ which work together to make us live day by day. One major system is the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes the nose (the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses)‚ pharynx (throat)‚ larynx (voice box)‚ trachea (windpipe)‚ bronchi‚ and the lungs. The respiratory system begins from our respiratory tracts that carry air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs. Respiratory tract

The respiratory system is an intricate network of organs all working together to insure a constant flow of gases‚ oxygen and carbon dioxide‚ to keep the body functioning at rest or during exertion’ (ehow). The respiratory system is made up of the nose‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ diaphragm and lungs. The aim of this assignment is to look at the structure and functions of the respiratory system and also provide an illustration of the respiratory system..

The human body requires many things to function. One of the most important requirements is oxygen. Oxygen is used by the entire body to make energy. The Respiratory System collects and filters the air we breath to get that precious oxygen. The respiratory(breathing) process begins when you inhale and air is taken in through the mouth and/or nose. The air flows into the pharynx(throat) and enters the trachea(windpipe). The air then flows into one of two bronchi‚ left bronchus and right bronchus.

Nervous System Review Sheet 1. List three functions of the nervous system and give a specific example of each. • Reception of stimuli from environment (internal or external) and relay of info to CNS (Sensory division of PNS) – e.g. Receptors in your ear send a signal to the brain when the bell rings. • Integration of stimuli to decide on a response (CNS) – e.g. Your brain receives the signal that the bell is ringing‚ along with signals from your eyes that tell you it is time for class

The Respiratory System The human respiratory system plays a very important part in our bodies. Without it‚ we wouldn’t be alive! We need air to move through our bodies at all times. Breathing‚ is a key necessity for life. Our respiratory system is made up of many organs that all work together. The goal of breathing is to deliver oxygen to the body and take away carbon dioxide. The respiratory system organs all work together‚ like a engine in a car‚ they all have a important role. Some
