The respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. The lungs are the main organs in the respiratory system. According to the American Lung Association, red blood cells collect the oxygen from the lungs and carry it throughout the body where it is needed. As the red blood cells travel through the body, they collect the carbon dioxide, taking it back to the lungs where it is then exhaled.…
How does the device and procedures support the role of the body systems? The artificial heart supports the role of a heart because an artificial heart supports the heart by helping it pump necessary blood and oxygen around the body in order for the body to properly function. Why is the device needed? The artificial heart is needed if you have severe heart failure and your heart cannot pump enough blood around the body in order for the body to function properly.…

Hi Everyone. Instructor Murphy did an excellent job of describing the skeletal system in more detail for us in her recent post. I though it would be fun to talk about some of the different types of fractures that can occur. Simple fractures or closed fractures occur when a bone breaks without breaking through the skin.…
2.5.1. Digestive system The digestive tract of the penaeidae shrimp is divided into three regions (Figure 4): namely, foregut, midgut and hind gut. The embryological origin of the epithelial cells in the foregut and hindgut are derived from the ectodermal and covered with cuticle. However, the epithelial cells of the midgut are derived from the entodermal origin. This region of the gut is lack of cuticle; however, it is lined by a peritrophic membrane (Lovett and Felder, 1989, 1990a, 1990b).…
The appendicular system is joined and/or fused to the axial system and includes all limbs and the connecting joints and bones. Starting from the top of the body, the appendicular system is composed of four bone groupings: the pectoral girdle, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle, and the lower limbs. The pectoral girdle is formed by the clavicles, the sternum, and the scapulae. There is a cavity in the scapulae called the glenoid fossa by which the humerus of the upper limb joins to the pectoral girdle. The upper limbs are composed of the humerus (upper arm), the radius & ulna (forearm), and the carpals (wrist), metacarpals, and phalanges (thumb & fingers).…
Question 1. a) “What serosal cavities have been penetrated by the 1st arrow?” The pleural cavity and pericardial cavity have been penetrated by the 1st arrow as they tend to appear in the thoracic cavity on the left side of the chest. b) “Explain the location, the microscopic characteristics of the serous membrane, and the purpose of the serous membrane.”…
All of those systems each sustain internal conditions allowing the body to function adequately. Throughout nursing practices, skin disorders are more common. In different systemic conditions of the following, hepatitis, some cancers, or dermatologic manifestations may be found first as the indication…
The skin is the largest organ in the body that there are three types of the integumentary (skin) system, the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermis. All three basically have different jobs that work to protect, prevents water loss, regulates metabolism and temperature, absorption and also acts as a sensory receptor. For instance the epidermis protects the body from injury and trauma. The skin also protects from chemicals and toxins even from solar radiation. When its come to water loss or water gain the epidermis is water resistant.…
How the circulatory system works for the human anatomy is the circulatory system delivers the nutrients and oxygen needed to cells to the body. Arties are what carry blood away from the heart and veins carry it back, Makes a circle why it's called the (circulatory system.) There is a main artery and large arteries these lead to small vessels these are what help blood flow. That is why it is not good when one gets plugged because that is when a heart attack happens. The animal I choose was the chameleon there circulatory system is the same and different in some ways.…
The integumentary system is comprised of the skin’s two layers, the dermis and epidermis, as well as hair, nails, glands, and nerves. Underlying the skin is the subcutaneous layer, or hypodermis, this layer is not a part of the integumentary system but is vital to its function. Made up of a layer of loose connective tissue the hypodermis serves to connect the skin to underlying muscle and bone (142). The hypodermis also assists the overlying skin by supplying it with blood vessels and nerves (Vanputte, Regan, & Russo 149). Superficial to the hypodermis is the deepest skin layer, the dermis.…
How does lymphatic functions during good health and bad? The lymphatic system works to protect the body to stop it getting an infection or a virus it does this with the help of cells such as lymphocytes which travels in between the nodes through channels called lymphatic, which meet ducts that empty into blood vessels this is how the lymphocytes enter the blood. There are 3 types of lymphocytes; B-lymphocytes (B-cells), T-lymphocytes (T-cells), Natural killer (NK) cells each of these react differently to kill and remove microbes. The lymphatic system is responsible for keeping the fluids in the body clean and to remove the bacteria and the toxins from it.…
What protects a human being from external danger? A car 's seat belt? A helmet? Or our very own organ known as the skin? The skin is one of the most amazing organs in the human body.…
An integumentary disease is a disease of the skin. For example, there are different skin cancers, warts, eczema, and psoriasis. Along with the thousands of diseases are also all of the treatments to help with the diseases. There are many treatments for the diseases some diseases have ten treatments. One of the main skin diseases is psoriasis.…
To understand the Musculo-Skeletal system and how it is suited to the functions that it performs for the body you first need to understand how the system works and what it is responsible for. It is comprised of two separate systems working together as one to provide the body with physical support, the ability to move and protection for its major organs. These two systems are the Skeletal System and the Muscular System and they contain the following:- Bones of the skeleton Muscles Cartilage Tendons Ligaments Joints Connective tissue binding to the body’s organs If you break the system down into its separate parts you can gain a deeper understanding of how they create a joint working system within the body.…
