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

WEEK 1: 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

Anatomy of the human stomach The stomach is divided into five sections‚ each of which has different types of cells and functions. The stomach lies between the esophagus and the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). It is on the left side of the abdominal cavity‚ the fundus of the stomach lying against the diaphragm. Lying beneath the stomach is the pancreas‚ and the greater omentum hangs from the greater curvature. Like the other parts of the gastrointestinal system‚ the stomach

It has a nearly spherical structure that enables the eye to focus on an object either moving closer to or farther away from you‚ the lens focuses the light rays bouncing of the objects and onto the retina. It’s used to diffract light rays. It can only be damaged by a disease called”cataract”. The cataract causes clouding. lateral rectus muscle: This is one of six
