reactions in the body of a cell or organism to keep it alive. Metabolism converts the nutrients from the food we eat in to vital energy which the body needs to carry out daily activities. The respiratory system‚ cardiovascular system and the digestive system are the three body systems that are involved with energy metabolism. There are two kinds of activities involved with metabolism processes‚ these are; building up of body tissues and energy stores and the breaking down of body tissues and energy stores

Homework Animal Body and How It Moves 1. Briefly describe the body of all vertebrates? A tube within a tube‚ a digestive tract- long tube from mouth to anus that is suspended in coelom‚ coelom subdivided into two cavities- separated by diaphragm in mammals and some reptiles. Peritoneal cavity- stomach‚ intestines‚ liver. Thoracic cavity- heart and lungs. All vertebrate bodies supported by internal skeleton skill around brain and vertebra around spinal cord and dorsal nerve cord. 2. What are the four

The Effects of Heat on the pH of the Vegetable and Their Pigment PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to see how pH levels of certain vegetables change while being cooked in four different mediums (frying‚ boiling‚ steaming‚ roasting)‚ and how the varying pH levels change the coloring of the vegetables. We will analyze how the different method of cooking/heating changes the levels of pH. BACKGROUND INFORMATION This experiment is based around the different pigments in vegetables‚ of which

Regulation of Blood Pressure and Blood Volume One way the body regulates blood pressure and blood volume is through the body’s use of baroreceptors‚ a mechanoreceptor of the nervous system. If there were low arterial blood pressure‚ the baroreceptors in one’s blood vessels could detect this. One’s baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid sinus of the cardiac system are constantly monitoring blood pressure. They send messages containing any changes through the central nervous system to the medulla oblongata

they actually work together in our body to help us perform daily tasks in life. I especially enjoy the muscular system‚ I am a physical fit person‚ I enjoy daily exercise and keeping myself healthy and in shape therefore learning more about the muscular system is very interesting. The reproductive system is another wonderful system to study and learn about‚ it is a great part of human life. I find it amazing to learn about the structure and functions of these two body parts and how they actually work

LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF NERVOURS SYSTEM: NEURONS: * STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell. Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. Information is transmitted to the receiving cell at junctions via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. At this juncture
