There are six different parts to the vulva. The different parts are: the Mons Veneris; Labia Majora; Labia Minora; the Clitoris and the vaginal opening. The mons veneris consists of fatty tissue that covers the joint of the pubic bones in front of the body. It is below the abdomen and above the clitoris. The mons veneris cushions

Exercise physiology Touch football is a game derived from Rugby League that requires the opposition to tag or touch the opponent to stop their progress. This assignment is centred on exercise physiology in relation to touch football and my performance in the position of centre. Exercise physiology is the study of the function of the human body during various exercise conditions. Throughout a game of touch football our bodies rely on various energy systems to meet energy demands. Whilst addressing

Chameleons Organism Physiology Brianna Kibler October 1‚ 2014 Principles of Biology BIO/101 Matthew Scholten Organism Physiology We know that an organism is anything that is living and can function by itself. This paper will help understand chameleons and how they have evolved to adapt to their surroundings. It will also discuss their physical features inside and out. Myths and facts will be revealed‚ as well as a few comparisons between sexes. Though there are many species of chameleons

Dermatome (anatomy) A dermatome is an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve. There are eight cervical nerves (C1 being an exception with no dermatome)‚ twelve thoracic nerves‚ five lumbar nerves and five sacral nerves. Each of these nerves relays sensation (including pain) from a particular region of skin to the brain. Along the thorax and abdomen the dermatomes are like a stack of discs forming a human‚ each supplied by a different spinal nerve. Along the arms and the

I never knew the value of life until I held a human heart in my hand. The human body is strong and powerful with bones‚ muscles‚ nerves‚ arteries‚ and veins‚ but so fragile; one thing goes wrong and that is where surgeons come in. Everyone ended up at the CSU Anatomy Camp for two reasons: to learn about the medical field and have experiences. It was like walking into a room full of like-minded people‚ who were eager to learn. I was there because I needed to be with people who could teach me and

However‚ there are tropical terrestrial species that grow as large as 2 feet. (4) VII. Human Interest: Planarians are found in many experiments all over the world due to their amazing regenerating abilities. In particular‚ there were many famous experiments done in the 1960s by a biologist named John McConnell. He studied the effects of memory

P1 – Anatomy & Physiology Outline the functions of the main cell components Cell Membrane; in the human body there are millions of cells‚ for every cell in the body it is surrounded with a cell membrane also known as plasma.The cell membrane separates the interior of all cells to the outside environment. The outer layer or the cell controls the movement which goes in and out of the cell. The cell membrane holds the cell together‚ but has very tiny holes to allow products to move in
