impulses from passing to the skeletal muscles. The purpose of blocking these passes is to make the muscles weak or paralyzed in surgery. Neuromuscular blockers can be used in many surgical procedures‚ like inserting an endotracheal tube‚ by relaxing the jaw muscles. They are also useful for relaxing the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (responsible for respirations) so that the patient can be manually ventilated. Neuromuscular blockers also aid in relaxing any muscles around the surgical site so

ventral and dorsal cavity. • The dorsal cavity is divided into two parts‚ cranial cavity and vertebral cavity. • The ventral is the larger cavity and is divided into two parts (thoracic and abdomino pelvic) by the diaphragm‚ which is a dome- shaped muscle important in the respiratory system. • The thoracic cavity is the upper ventral cavity which contains the heart‚ lungs‚ trachea‚ esophagus‚ large blood vessels‚ and the nerves. The ribs surround the organs of the thoracic cavity. • The lower

Introduction Tissue just means a group of cells that together carry out a particular job in your body. There are four different types of tissue within the human body. This consists of the connective tissue‚ the epithelial tissue‚ the muscle tissue and the nervous tissue. Each of these tissues are vital for our bodies and each tissue has a very important role to fulfil. Epithelial tissue Epithelial tissue protects your body from moisture loss‚ bacteria‚ and internal injury. It is made

increased consumption of oxygen and nutrients by muscle cells requires more blood supply. The functions of blood include delivering oxygen‚ removing CO2‚ removing heat and delivering nutrients and water. Therefore‚ blood flow is important in cellular respiration‚ which is the process where ATP is produced through the conversion of metabolites‚ also involving the consumption of oxygen and release of CO2 as a waste product. ATP is vital to skeletal muscle contraction‚ since the power stroke is facilitated

damage and protecting us against diseases. Muscle Tissue This tissue is made up of a large number of cells. There are three different types of muscle tissue and each of these three has their own function: 1. Skeletal: This type of muscle tissue covers your Skeleton to give your body its shape. 2. Smooth: This type of muscle tissue works by contracting in order to do things such as pushing food through our bodies. 3. Cardiac: This type of muscle tissue squeezes the blood out of our hearts

List the four tissue types found in the human body. Describe an example of each type with their function and location. The four main tissues in the human body are connective‚ epithelium‚ muscle and nervous tissue. Connective tissue is an abundant nonliving extracellular matrix‚ located throughout the human body; such as the head‚ tendons‚ bone‚ and many more. It is the most widespread tissue in the human body and is the most durable tissue type. There are so many functions for this tissue‚ that
