BIOL 2010 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I Chapter 4: TISSUES AND MEMBRANES Outline of Notes I. Introduction. A. General: Cells are highly specialized and interdependent on one another. Groups of similar cells performing similar functions are called Tissues The study of tissues is called Histology. Organs are made of tissues. A detailed understanding of tissues will greatly help your understanding of organs and organ systems later in this course. Tissues are classified into 4 main types:

Renal calculi literally translates to kidney stones. These kidney stones form inside your kidneys but can affect your entire urinary tract as it travels (which includes the bladder‚ urethra‚ and ureters.) Stones form when urine is too rich with minerals and salts causing them to stick together creating a small‚ hard‚ pebble-like sediment. Kidney stones are a collection of proteins and mineral salts that aggregate into a solid crystalline structure. The stones structure is made of two phases‚ crystalline

My “Whale” to Survive Why do you think any living animal wants to keep living‚ to keep going on? Why do living organisms try so hard to survive? The very idea of just thinking about why organisms and more specifically‚ humans go on living is bewildering. The survival instinct theory states that all organisms have biological tendencies that help them survive. This implies that all behaviors and actions are based on the survival of the individual organism. Therefore‚ based on science‚ I believe that

How microscopes have contributed to our understanding of living organisms There are 2 types of microscopes these are; light microscope and electron microscope. Light microscopes use a beam of light however the resolution is lower than the electron microscope so the image is not clear‚ however they can view living organisms. These types of microscopes are used in schools to view simple cellular structures‚ which is good to teach simple biology Mitosis and meiosis can be seen with light microscopes

called peptidoglycans. Just inside the cell wall is a less rigid envelope called the plasma membrane also known as the cytoplasmic membrane. In bacterial cells the plasma membrane has two primary functions: it serves as a selective barrier to molecules that are penetrating the cell wall allowing water and oxygen to flow easily into the cell but restricting other proteins from entering; secondly‚ the plasma membrane contains enzymes proteins that cause chemical reactions to occur that are vital to the

Ways in which living organisms differ from each other There are many ways in which living organisms differ from each other. In this essay I will discuss the various ways of which this occurs. There are two different types of cells‚ there are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Within eukaryotes there are different structures and similar structures. For example; in a plant cell they have a nucleus‚ mitochondria an ER‚ and a Golgi body. These are the same as animal cells; however they differ because plants

by using the application of membrane have become highly demand in various industries. In this newly separation process ‚ the membrane function as a semi-permeable barrier and the separation process occur by the membrane controlling the rate of movement of various molecules between two liquid phases ‚ two gas phases or a mixture of a gas phase and liquid phase. In industries‚ many companies have high demand on both quality and quantity of water for production. Membrane process can be used to separate

Regardless of the facts proving that violent games are a healthy diversion for kids some people still believe they are not okay but here is why that is wrong. Playing simulated violence games is healthy for children because it get’s anger and stress out of their systems. If kids are enraged‚ they can‚ according Erik Kain in “Do Games Like ‘Grand Theft

Aim: To investigate whether living organisms by respiration convert oxygen into Co2. Introduction: The process by which organisms release energy from food is called respiration. There are two categories of respiration‚ depending on the amount of oxygen available. Aerobic respiration is the most common type of respiration. It requires oxygen- the reason why you are breathing right now. Anaerobic respiration requires no oxygen. The experiment which will take place is the aerobic respiration. Earthworms

The organic compounds are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids‚ and proteins. Each which are made up of elements and monomers. Each organic compound has it’s own function and chemical structure. Each compound also plays a role in living organisms. Carbohydrates are composed of several elements‚ and one monomer. The elements include: carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen atoms. Carbohydrates are composed of only one monomer‚ which is monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates‚ and
