Notes: Anatomy & Physiology 1. Cells A cell is the basic‚ living‚ structural‚ and functional unit of the body. Cytology: the study of cells A generalized view of the cell 3 main parts of the cell: Plasma membrane‚ cytoplasm and nucleus. * Plasma (cell) membrane: * Outer‚ limiting membrane separating the cell `s internal components from the extracellular materials and external environment. * Cytoplasm (formed or molded): * Consist of all the cellular contents between

Thomas Warner Research Paper Regulation of Muscle Hypertrophy Our skeletal muscles make up 40-50% of our total mass and are essential for all humans to move‚ breath‚ and stand up straight. For the first 20 years of our lives and for those physically active after our muscles are continually growing. Satellite cells are responsible for this growth in our skeletal muscle and are referred to as muscle stem cells. When skeletal muscle cells are traumatized due to physical trauma or disease the regeneration

The study of the functions of organisms comes in many forms-plant physiology‚ cell physiology‚ microbial physiology‚ and animal physiology‚ to name a few. Human physiology focuses on how the human body works. 2. What does pathophysiology refer to? Pathophysiology refers to when normal body function is disrupted-to better demonstrate

When it comes to muscle contraction‚ contraction takes place in the muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are the basic building blocks of the muscle and what allow muscles to contract. They appear as long cylinder cells that contain several nuclei. Contraction happens when the muscle receive signals from the nervous system and the Neuromuscular Junction obtains the muscular exchange where the synaptic bulb and the muscle fibers connect. muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils‚ which contain contractile

Tissues in the Body Unit 5 – Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Epithelial Cuboidal – cube shaped‚ prominent nucleus. Can be found in medulla of kidney. Does not allow for passive diffusion easily. Columnar – tall‚ vertical‚ thick cells. Can be found in the small intestine. Does not allow passive diffusion easily. Active transport is needed. Move nutrients from intestine to blood = absorption! Can have microvilli to increase surface area. Squamous – large‚ thin and prominent

Ex-situ conservation Ex-situ conservation means literally‚ "off-site conservation ". It is the process of protecting an endangered species of plant or animal by removing part of the population from a threatened habitat and placing it in a new location‚ which may be a wild area or within the care of humans. While ex-situ conservation comprises some of the oldest and best known conservation methods‚ it also involves newer‚ sometimes controversial laboratory methods. Colony relocation Normally

In the poem “My Ex-Husband” by Gabriel Spera the main character displays hate for her husband‚ which in time reveals her love for him. The hateful tone in the poem contributes to the fact that she dislikes her husband‚ but at the same time she is stuck in the past‚ which keeps her from moving on. The first two lines of the poem introduce us to the a picture of her ex husband: “Thats my ex-husband pictured on the self‚ smiling as if in love”. We begin to suspect that main character is no longer with

We have more than 600 muscles in our bodies. They pump blood throughout your body‚ and help you lift heavy things like backpacks‚ and textbooks. You could control some of your muscles‚ while others like your heart‚ have their own jobs without us thinking at all. Muscles are all made up of same material. A type of tissue like the material in a rubber band. Thousands or tens of thousands of small fibers make up all or each muscle in our body. There are different muscles‚ fibers‚ and contractions.
