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 is the study of the structures and relationship between body parts. Physiology is the study of the function of body parts and the body as a whole. The kidneys remove wastes and water from the blood. 2. List‚ in order from least to most complex‚ the levels of structural

protection for the brain‚ eyes‚ and ears; six are ear bones. With the exception of the lower jaw bone and the ear bones‚ all skull bones are joined together and fixed in one position. The seams where they join are known as sutures. The bones of the skull are classified as either cranial or facial bones. Cranial Bones. The cranium is formed by eight major bones‚ most of which are in pairs. The frontal bone forms the forehead and the roof of each orbit (or eye socket) and the nasal cavity

Baker’s Cyst Anatomy And Physiology To better understand a Baker’s cyst‚ it helps to understand the anatomy of the knee joint. A cyst is a lined sac that contains fluid. Cysts that form around joints are due to a bulging of the joint capsule. A Baker’s cyst develops from the knee joint capsule. It protrudes into the tissues in the back of the knee. Four bones come together at the knee joint: * Patella/Kneecap - The patella is a small‚ flat‚ round bone that articulates with the femur in

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

Understand Anatomy And Physiology The Biological Systems Of The Horse Introduction This essay is about the biological systems of the horse and how they work‚ this includes topics like what the liver and pancreas do‚ what they produce and how they do it. It also covers topics such as the interaction of the circulatory system and respiratory system. What do the liver and pancreas do? The liver The horse liver is described as part of the digestive system‚ however‚ its functions go far beyond that

HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO RESPIRATION In this essay we will consider a few major aspects of respiration. We shall first consider the interesting history of the study of respiration before moving on to our modern understanding of respiration. We will look at the structure and function of the respiratory system including the upper and lower respiratory tracts with a note on the control system. Secondly we will consider the physiology of respiration. Thirdly we will discuss some

How Energy is used in the Body (M1) We get chemical energy from food we eat and oxygen that we breathe –we need this to get energy into a usable form to be used by the cells Glucose + Oxygen ----------------> Carbon Dioxide + Water (C6H12O6) (O2) Metabolism (CO2) (H2O) (1C6H12O6) (6O2) In Cells (6CO2) (6H20) Metabolism is the process of getting chemical energy from larger molecules in food and breaking them down into smaller
