It is essential that nurses are able to recognise and assess symptoms of respiratory dysfunction to provide early‚ effective and appropriate interventions to improve patient outcomes. It is necessary for a nurse to have a comprehensive knowledge base of the anatomy and physiological process of a healthy functioning pulmonary system‚ in order to carry out a respiratory assessment (Jenkins

types.[2] The composition of the human body is made up of a number of certain elements including carbon‚ calcium and phosphorus. The study of the human body involves anatomy and physiology. The human body can show anatomical non-pathological anomalies known as variations which need to be able to be recognised. Physiology focuses on the systems and their organs of the human body and their functions. Many systems and mechanisms interact in order to maintain homeostasis. Skeletal structure frames the

Chapter 1 - The Human Body Anatomy is the science relating to the structural organisation of living organisms. Physiology is the science relating to the operational functions of living organisms. The many parts and systems of the body are integrated and function co-operatively to provide a healthy living body via 6 hierarchy levels of structural organisation. The basic or first level is the Chemical Level‚ where atoms are combined to form molecules. The second level is the Cellular Level

Physiology Assignment After searching for a couple of days and still being unsure of what I was going to write about I turned and was watching my fish in my fish tank and realized that was what I would do it on. Then I realized that I spend many hour throughout the week watching my fish swim around‚ it is almost therapeutic. I found that the anatomy and physiology of a fish is very unique so that they can exist in the different underwater environments. In this paper we will cover their circulatory

Examine one interaction between cognition and physiology in terms of behaviour. Cognition is the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought‚ experience‚ and the senses. Physiology refers to the way the organisms work in response. These interactions between a cognitive process and physiology create human behavior. one example of this interaction is the way mirror neurons work and how the body acts in response to these neurons. A mirror neuron is a neuron

Introduction: The question investigated in this lab was which drugs have the greatest and least affect on the pulse of the Lumbriculus variegates. Ethanol will cause the worms to become inactive‚ caffeine will cause the worms to become overactive‚ and nicotine will cause the worms to become more active. Lumbriculus variegatus is also known as black worm. This small species of worms currently lives in North America and Europe within marshes and ponds. They survive by eating microorganisms and organic

Introduction: Homeostasis is the tendency of the body to seek and maintain equilibrium‚ a state of balance‚ within its internal environment. Endotherms are “warm blooded” animals that produce and maintain their own internal body heat. Most mammals and a few birds‚ are endotherms; this is beneficial because the enzymes in the body that carry out metabolic processes have an optimum temperature at which they function‚ having the body constantly be‚ or be close to‚ this optimum internal temperature
