Types of Tissues Stacy Sisler HS 120‚ Section 03 Unit 2 Seminar Kaplan University Jan. 17‚ 2011 Types of Tissue A tissue is a group of cells that have a similar shape and function. Different type of tissues can be found in different organs. In humans‚ there re four basic types of tissue: epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscular tissue‚ and nervous tissue. There may be various sub-tissues within each of the primary tissues. Epithelial tissue covers the body surface

Effects of Hydration on the Human Body Rebecca St. Clair SCI/241 January 9‚ 2011 Ms. Katherine Jones‚ Ph D Water is an essential nutrient that provides health maintenance by regulating body temperature‚ providing lubrication and shock absorption‚ and is essential to maintain proper physiologic functioning. Over half of the human body weight is comprised of water. Water helps to regulate many human body functions such as: body temperature‚ and the amount of water lost through kidney functions

How important are fluids? Fluid replacement is probably the most important nutritional concern for athletes. Approximately 60% of your body weight is water. As you exercise‚ fluid is lost through your skin as sweat and through your lungs when you breathe. If this fluid is not replaced at regular intervals during exercise‚ you can become dehydrated. When you are dehydrated‚ you have a smaller volume of blood circulating through your body. Consequently‚ the amount of blood your heart pumps

These include sebaceous glands of the skin and glands in the intestinal lining (exocrine glands)‚ and many of the endocrine glands releasing hormones‚ such as the thyroid follicle.

There are many ways that I have been illiterate in my life. One way that I think has had the biggest impact in my life was not having the “normal” family that most kids seem to have growing up. I never had the family where the mom bakes all the time and takes her kids to soccer practice and drives a mini van‚ while the dad doesn’t come home until later at night just to help his kids with their homework and tells them goodnight while him and his wife talk about their day apart. Instead‚ I was the

The Effect of pH on the Rate of Osmosis Using a Glucose Solution Melissa Werderitch Biology 157 11/6/06 Introduction In a journal article written by Florian Lang‚ osmosis is essentially explained as the flow of water from one area to another that are separated by a selectively permeable membrane to equalize concentrations of particles in the two locations (Lang‚ 1997). Osmosis is able to maintain osmotic pressure and regulate a cell’s volume. In a hypotonic () or hypertonic () environment

the body with or without the presence of disease processes. Tissue elasticity reduces over time and fat replaces space that was once occupied by the muscle (Corbin-Lewis et al.‚ 2005). Similar changes can be seen in the oropharyngeal component during normal aging. With age‚ the mucosa in the oral cavity becomes more keratinized or fibrous (Corbin-Lewis et al.‚ 2005). The tongue becomes smoother and starts to atrophy. The temporomandibular joint starts to lose range of motion during normal aging

THE ORGANISATION OF THE HUMAN BODY By Rachel Bull CELLS The organelles of cells and their function • Cell (or plasma) membrane - The plasma membrane acts as a boundary and controls what substances can enter and exit the cell. • Cytoplasm - This semi-fluid substance found inside the boundary of the cell and outside the nucleus cushions and protects the internal organelles‚ this is also where the majority of the chemical reactions happen. • Nucleus - The nucleus is the double-membraned central
