The Endocrine System System Although we rarely think about them‚ the glands of the endocrine system and the hormones they release influence almost every cell‚ organ‚ and function of our bodies. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood‚ growth and development‚ tissue function‚ and metabolism‚ as well as sexual function and reproductive processes. In general‚ the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly‚ such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing

information about humans’ circulatory system. One of the most important systems our body has if not THE most important since one of its organs is the heart. We will focus on senior citizens. As we age‚ our organs’ working mechanism becomes slower and our muscles tend to be less flexible or elastic and that is why we think the information we will provide‚ will be very useful. Some of the talking points will be: • General function of the system and how the organ system contributes to physiological homeostasis

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The respiratory system consists of all the organs involved in breathing. These include the nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. The respiratory system does two very important things: it brings oxygen into our bodies‚ which we need for our cells to live and function properly; and it helps us get rid of carbon dioxide‚ which is a waste product of cellular function. The nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea and bronchi all work like a system of pipes through which

Cardiovascular system: The circulatory system: The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart‚ arteries‚ capillaries and veins. As blood begins to circulate‚ it leaves the heart from the left ventricle and goes into the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The blood leaving the aorta is full of oxygen. This is important for

needed by the body in the form of urine” (Linn-Watson‚2014). The urinary system consists of two kidneys‚ each of which is connected to the bladder by a ureter. The urine flows from the kidneys‚ to the bladder via the ureters. Then from the bladder‚ the urine is excreted from the body by the urethra. This process can be very simple‚ but when there are pathologies present the process becomes complicated. Duplex collecting systems is the main topic and how it may become complicated by vesicoureteral

The Circulatory System The circulatory system in anatomy and physiology is the course taken by the blood through the arteries‚ capillaries‚ and veins and back to the heart. In humans and the higher vertebrates‚ the heart is made up of four chambers the right and left auricles‚ or atria‚ and the right and left ventricles. The right side of the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood from the cells of the body back to the lungs for new oxygen; the left side of the heart receives blood rich in oxygen from

The two organ systems in the human body I chose were the lymphatic system and the integumentary system. The lymphatic system is there to help fight off diseases and is vital part of the immune system. Integumentary system function is to protect you against infection and other homeostasis. They both play an important role within the human body because we need to protect
