ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is basically a tube running through the body from the mouth to the anus. The organs of the digestive system include the oral cavity (mouth)‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and large intestine and rectum. Their role is to break down food and deliver the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells. The undigested food that remains in the tract leaves the body through the anus as feces. The break down activities that

Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: Make a prediction about the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of the remaining rats compared with the BMR of the normal rat you just measured. Your answer : c. The BMR of both remaining rats will be lower than the normal rat’s BMR. Predict Question 2: What do you think will happen after you inject thyroxine into the three rats? Your answer : a. The normal rat will become hyperthyroidic and develop a goiter. Predict Question 3: What do you think

1. Label a diagram of the respiratory system?? 2. Describe the process of breathing?? Breathing consists of two phases. The first is inspiration and the second is expiration. During inspiration‚ the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below

Anatomy‚ physiology‚ and injury treatment and prevention are all very important when dealing with sport and entertainment. Specifically‚ in the art of ballet. It is important to know your body and how it works. This will help you learn how to move it in a certain way to achieve a skill. It is also important to know how to treat injuries when they do occur and ways to possibly prevent them in the future. Many ballet dancers are given anatomy lessons to help them better understand how to move and

The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances

Musculoskeletal response: Increase blood supply: The increase in blood supply might happen as your body starts to work more efficient than usually . The blood supply has to increase because the blood has to go to the parts in your body which you are exercising the most .For example: If you go for a run‚ the blood supply will increase because your legs will need more energy‚ therefore there will be more blood going into your legs than normal because you are overworking them. Increase in muscle
