Week one written assignment for Kinesiology Bronwyn Oihus Abstract As humans our bodies are made up of several types of tissues‚ organs‚ bones muscles and nerves. I am going to talk about the joints of the skeletal system. The skeletal system gives us our shape and protects the inner structures of our bodies. In this system there are areas where 2 or more bones are held together in one of three ways. These are called joints and the bones and movement of the bones classifies the type of joint

The topic is Discuss how buffers help to regulate body pH. The pH level in the blood is maintained by the kidneys and the lungs. The pH level on the blood should be at 7.4. In order for the kidneys and lungs to maintain this pH level it affects the buffers in the blood. The buffer is a substance that is resistant to the change in the body’s pH level. Basically the buffers can make an acid or base less potent and try and neutralize it so the body is not overly acidic or basic. When these buffers

Fluid Balance Explain in detail the fluid compartments of the body‚ including distribution of fluid and electrolytes within each compartment and the movement between compartments. In the average person water constitutes 60% to the total body weight.: 42L in a 70kg individual. 40% is intracellelular fluid‚ while remaining 20% is extracellular. The extracellular fluid can be divided into plasma (from intravascular compartment) and interstitial fluid intracellular fluid (28 L‚ about 35% of lean

was to learn how to measure the pH (or acidity) of commonly known fluids‚ using the correct tools and procedures. To then use that data to document the changes noticed when mixing those same fluids and changing their respective pH levels. Materials: In order to conduct this experiment several pieces of equipment and other materials were needed. The first item was a graduated cylinder‚ which was used in order to measure out the precise amount of fluids needed in the experiment. A 100mL

Respiratory system is quite obvious given that as human beings we need this system to help us with our most fatal tasks of breathing. Although the importance is assumed and acknowledged‚ many do not really get the whole concept of the Respiratory system. For example‚ how it works? Why it works? And what all is involved. These questions and others will be strategically answered in the following work. The Respiratory System delivers oxygen to the body and takes the carbon dioxide away. This system

Epithelial tissue protects your body from moisture loss‚ bacteria‚ and internal injury. There are two kinds of epithelial tissues: Covering and lining epithelium covers or lines almost all of your internal and external body surfaces; for example‚ the outermost layer of your skin and other organs‚ and the internal surface lining of your lymph vessels and digestive tract. Glandular epithelium secretes hormones or other products such as stomach acid‚ sweat‚ saliva‚ and milk. Connective tissue generally

Morphology of Human Blood and Marrow CELLS 1. Describe two main differences between neutrophilic band and neutrophilic segmented cells. Peripheral blood of a healthy individual contains 2% to 6% of the band neutrophils. They have a nucleus with a horseshoe or sausage shape they do not have a nucleus separated into lobes connected by a filament. The nuclear chromatin is clumped they stain various shades of pink and contain alkaline phosphatase. In normal peripheral blood of older adults they have
