Human body

defend the body from foreign substances. These are made of proteins and are often referred to as antibodies. There are five classes of immunoglobulins. These five classes are IgG, IgM, IgD, IgA, and IgE. These classes are distinct from each other by their properties and how they are involved with the immune response. These five classes can be further broken down into more specific subclasses as well. IgG represents approximately 15% of the total amount of proteins in the human body. It also…

lifetime. Stress is an issue that effects a person, both mentally and physically, and takes an enormous toll on the human body. This paper will discuss how the immune system functions, how stress is directly correlated with illness by talking about stress from a biological stand point, and most important, how to manage stress. In order to understand the effects stress has on one’s body and mind, there has to be an understanding of the immune system first.…

as I navigate quite a bit to be able to return to school at this stage of life. Furthermore, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about all of the different systems of the human body. Having two children living with difficult illnesses, it has been interesting to be able to learn more about how the body functions. How we studied the body in systems was insightful for me, learning as an adult is much easier when we compartmentalize information into systems. In addition to that, the most helpful part…

physiological responses in our bodies. For example, skeletal muscles demand an increase in oxygen and substrates and simultaneously remove carbon dioxide and metabolites (Burton et al., 2004). Furthermore, studies have conducted that demonstrate the peril of living an inactive and sedentary lifestyle. Thus, exercise can strengthen cardiac and respiratory variables by having them become more efficient (Salmon et al., 2003). As one exercises, work rate increases and the body must match the…

everything that occurs when using them may lack. While researching, it was interesting to learn about all the different information on steroids. However, to fully understand what they are and what happens to the body, more material is needed. The topic of steroids and the effects they have on the human body is an incredible topic, for instance, what steroids are and how they work, if they cause addiction and abuse, teenage trends and personality change, the positive and negative effects, the…

The human body is such a familiar concept to us however we still have so many questions why things are the way they are. Some of us have irrational fears while others do not, we could be allergic to something that our neighbors are not. Even though humans have been cut from the same cloth we still have a large variation in who we are. This isn’t a problem per se, but it makes you question why things are the way they are. And for this project I will be focusing on the irrational fears that some…

The Human Body is a complex system with many sub systems intertwining to create a whole. When looking at the nursing profession, this same concept is applied. No patient will be exactly like another, an individual is “a bio-psycho-social-spiritual being in a constant interaction with their environment” (Potter and Perry, 2006, p.62). Nurses must be able to break down an individual into their sub systems to get an accurate understanding of who they are as a person. Our Coat of Arm’s is a…

1. What is Diffusion? Give an example of diffusion happening in the human body. Diffusion happens when molecules disperse themselves evenly throughout an enclosed area by colliding with other molecules (Wood, 2013, ex. 6). Because the molecules are not using ATP to move, simple diffusion is considered a passive mechanism of transport. Until the substance is equally distributed across the area it is contained in, it will continue to diffuse (Wood, 2013, ex. 6). Once the substance is equally…

The human body has a protection system called the immune system to fight off pathogens. The immune system uses two different types of immunity to defend the body against pathogens; they are the innate and adaptive immunity response systems. Working as frontline providers, we must be able to identify and treat different types of disorders and diseases. The active immunity is an important part of the immune system because it protects the body from infectious diseases agent that is mediated by B-…

movement of body parts, and works with skeletal system to help us move. Major muscles types : There are many muscles in the muscular system. Some are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. The skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle can stretch and contract, but they complete different functions. The skeletal muscle is attached to your skeleton by strong, springy tendons or is directly connected to rough patches of bone. The skeletal muscle move and support you’re just about all your…
