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

Since I was a child‚ I knew I had a strong interest in becoming something in the medical field. Anatomy has always been a very important factor to have in my life because of all the things I’ve witnessed growing up in a place where there was no one educated enough to help out. Thus‚ I took the Anatomy and Physiology course provided at my school. Taking this class informed me of the structure and functions of the body parts in the human system such as the Immune and Digestive system‚ which can affect

Anatomy and Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory

The Anatomy and Physiology of Cystic Fibrosis Samantha J. Cordova Pueblo Community College Abstract The main topic researched in this paper is cystic fibrosis. The research in detail is that cystic fibrosis is classified as a genetic disorder and in what ways this disorder affects the gene expressions. More facts found in this paper will be who can get cystic fibrosis‚ which organs are mostly affected‚ and what specifically causes the problems found from cystic fibrosis. Common symptoms

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

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN HEART The human heart is a cone shape‚ hollow‚ muscular organ located in the mediastinum between the lungs. It is a about the size of an adult fist. The heart rests on the diaphragm‚ tilting forward and to the left in the client’s chest. Each beat of the heart pumps about 60ml of blood‚ or 5L/min. During strenuous physical activity‚ the heart can double the amount of blood pumped to meet the increased oxygen needs of the peripheral tissues. ANTERIOR VIEW

Tissues in the Body Unit 5 – Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Epithelial Cuboidal – cube shaped‚ prominent nucleus. Can be found in medulla of kidney. Does not allow for passive diffusion easily. Columnar – tall‚ vertical‚ thick cells. Can be found in the small intestine. Does not allow passive diffusion easily. Active transport is needed. Move nutrients from intestine to blood = absorption! Can have microvilli to increase surface area. Squamous – large‚ thin and prominent

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
