ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe‚ we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. Respiration is achieved through the mouth‚ nose‚ trachea‚ lungs‚ and diaphragm. Oxygen enters the

“Three strikes and you’re out”. This is the all too familiar term we are used to hearing in baseball and in the rules of the law in some states. Most heard of in California. Three strikes sentencing were adopted in 1994. It imposed longer prison sentences for repeat offenders. The law requires a person who is convicted of a felony and who previously has been convicted of one or more violent and/or serious felonies. The main feature of the Three Strikes law is the imposition of a life sentence for

Rachel Miley Anatomy and Physiology Hassan’s Story 1. The clue that would help Stefan would be the depressions and the openings on the anterior and posterior scapular. They are several depressions on the scapula that include the acromion‚ superior angle‚ subscapular fossa‚ medial border‚ lateral border‚ inferior angle‚ glenoid cavity‚ coracoid process‚ and many more. The glenoid cavity is the shallow‚ oval socket that articulates with the Humerus. 2. Stefan is referring to the collarbone as

WEEK 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of body and parts‚ while physiology is the study of how the body work and function‚ their relationship is seen for example in the heart‚ there are two valves (anatomy) and these two valves help the heart pump blood. 2. The atom is the smallest particle of an element. An example is carbon ( C ) which is the building block of life. A group of atoms could form for example‚ a water molecule

1/ What is the driving force in the diffusion? Randomness. As far as forces go i believe you can end up with a pressure if you have two different concentration on opposite sides of a membrane. Cells have been know to explode as a result of this effect.
