Tissues in the Body Unit 5 – Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Epithelial Cuboidal – cube shaped‚ prominent nucleus. Can be found in medulla of kidney. Does not allow for passive diffusion easily. Columnar – tall‚ vertical‚ thick cells. Can be found in the small intestine. Does not allow passive diffusion easily. Active transport is needed. Move nutrients from intestine to blood = absorption! Can have microvilli to increase surface area. Squamous – large‚ thin and prominent

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART Anatomy: The heart and heart wall layers: The heart is located in the left side of the mediastinum; it consists of three muscle layers the Endocardium‚ myocardium‚ and epicardium. The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. The myocardium is the idle layer of and actual contracting muscle of the heart. The endocardium is the innermost layer and lines the inner chambers and heart valves. Pericardial sac: The pericardial sac encases and protects

Lab Title: Microscopy Objective: To learn how to use and care for a microscope and to know the parts of a compound microscope and to efficiently use the microscope to focus on specimen. Introduction A microscope is an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects‚ typically magnified several hundred times. It consist of different lenses such as: Scanning = 4X‚ Low power = 10X‚ High power = 40 or 43X‚ Oil Immersion = 100X. A microscope is an instrument
