RESPIRATORY SYSTEM A complete‚ schematic view of the human respiratory system with their parts and functions. Latin: systema respiratorium The respiratory system (or ventilatory system) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for the process of respiration in an organism. The respiratory system is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment. The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply

The Muscular System: Contraction of Motor Units 1. Define a motor neuron:_____A single nerve cell that branches from the brain or the spinal cord to a muscle or a gland. 2. Define a motor unit: ___A motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it stimulates. 3. The synapse between a motor neuron and the muscle it innervates is called a ____neuromuscular junction_______. 4. The stimulation of additional motor units will increase the strength of the contraction. This process is called

Two of the most important sensory systems in human body are optical system and auditory system. Optical system or sometime called visual system involved in the process of taken amount of stimuli and transfer it into some figure that we can perceive as images that make senses. Auditory systems involved in sound wave that transduced by drum ear into some kind of vibration that eventually gets converted back into wave what we perceive as noise. There are a lot of similarities in their mechanisms of

composed of complicated and intricate systems that work together to keep us alive and able to move and process the things we find to be simple such as breathing or blinking. There are 11 systems in our body‚ each in charge of something different and supplying support to the other. Those 11 systems are the‚ nervous‚ skeletal‚ muscular‚ circulatory‚ respiratory‚ digestive‚ endocrine‚ reproductive‚ excretory‚ integumentary and immune systems. I will address every system in the human body as well as provide

Reproductive System What is it? The reproductive system is a collection of organs that work together for the purpose of producing a new life The major organs of the reproductive system include the external genitalia and internal organs‚ including gonads that produce gamete‚ which is a cell that fuses with another cell during conception in organisms that reproduce sexually. Substances such as fluids‚ hormones‚ and pheromones are also important to the effective functioning of the reproductive system What

The building blocks of our body ’ s neural information system are neurons. Each neuron is composed of dendrites‚ a cell body‚ axon with myelin sheath‚ and vesicles with neurotransmitters. The neuron receives information from sense receptors or from chemical messages from neighboring neurons via its dendrites‚ which pass the information to the cell body. The cell body fires an impulse‚ called the action potential‚ down the axon. The impulse is protected and sped along its way by the myelin sheath

The systems of the body. Systems are the most complex of the component units of the human body. A system is an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs arranged so that together they can perform complex functions for the body. There are 10 systems in the body‚ but the 3 main are: • The nervous system • The respiratory system • The circulatory system The nervous system. The nervous system has two main parts: • The central nervous system – CNS; This is composed of the brain and the spinal

Renal system The renal system consists of two kidneys‚ two ureters which come out of the kindeys and a single bladder which collects the urine before it goes into the urethra. It also involves the sphincter muscle which is located just below the bladder and its purpose is to control the flow of urine. The kidneys have renal veins which take the blood from the kidneys into the main vein in the body which is known as the vena cava‚ they also have short renal arteries which come out of the main vein
