HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO RESPIRATION In this essay we will consider a few major aspects of respiration. We shall first consider the interesting history of the study of respiration before moving on to our modern understanding of respiration. We will look at the structure and function of the respiratory system including the upper and lower respiratory tracts with a note on the control system. Secondly we will consider the physiology of respiration. Thirdly we will discuss some

Unit 1- Principles of Anatomy and Physiology Functions of the skeletal system There are five main functions of the skeletal system. To protect‚ to support‚ movement‚ cell production and storage. The skeletal system protects delicate and important organs from harm. An example of this is the ribcage. This protects your heart and lungs from anything that tries to harm it. Another example is the brain. The brain is protected by the skull. The skeletal system also provides support for the body as it

Week 1 Chapter 1 1. What is the basic difference between anatomy and physiology? (p. 2) ANSWER: Anatomy (a-NAT-ō-mē; ana- = up; -tomy = process of cutting) is the science of structure and the relationships among structures. Physiology (fiz′-ē-OL-ō-jē; physio- = nature‚ -logy = study of) is the science of body functions‚ that is‚ how the body parts work. 2. Define each of the following terms: atom‚ molecule‚ cell‚ tissue‚ organ‚ system‚ and organism. (p. 6) ANSWER: AtomUnit of matter that makes

AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology‚ and explain their relationship using an example of a human structure with its corresponding function. Anatomy: The branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ esp. as revealed by dissection. Physiology: The branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. Anatomy and physiology are connected in the way

body The three systems in our body that work together are cardiovascular‚ respiratory and digestive systems which supply energy to the cells of the body. I will be describing their role of energy in the body system; also I am going to explain the physiology of the three named body systems in relation to energy metabolism. Respiratory System The respiratory system consists of tissues and organs in our body which are formed into groups. The system includes airways‚ lungs‚ blood vessels and muscles attached

THE ORGANISATION OF THE HUMAN BODY By Rachel Bull CELLS The organelles of cells and their function • Cell (or plasma) membrane - The plasma membrane acts as a boundary and controls what substances can enter and exit the cell. • Cytoplasm - This semi-fluid substance found inside the boundary of the cell and outside the nucleus cushions and protects the internal organelles‚ this is also where the majority of the chemical reactions happen. • Nucleus - The nucleus is the double-membraned central
