Adipose tissue

A bone is made up of different tissues that work together: bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, various blood forming tissues, adipose tissue and nerve tissue(coursehero). All individual bones are organs. Bones along with their cartilages make up the skeletal system. Bone makes up eighteen percent of the weight of a human body. There are two hundred six bones in the in the adult skeleton, more than half are found in both the hands and feet. The functions of a bone are support,…

A sedentary person requires less of all nutrients than an active person. If an individual consumes large quantities of energy but does not move around much, the body stores the excess as adipose tissue (fat) (Berbesque, 2009). Critique of demographic factors: Validity: This information is valid because it makes reference to my topic as well as demographic factors influencing food selection, it helps my topic in the sense that it doesn’t only…

intracellular energy transfer. ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism”. Muscles are packed with multinucleated striated cells that continuously break down and rebuild muscle tissue, like recycling. The result of this recycling is ongoing high levels of ATP metabolized in the muscle tissue. ATP is responsible for the release/relaxation of a flexed muscle. Opposing ATP are calcium ions responsible for muscle flexion. These two opposing chemical release factors are what…

insulin and second is glucagon. On studying the nature of insulin, it is found that insulin is a type of hormone, which is responsible for transporting nutrients to the targeted tissues, by separating the nutrients from the bloodstream. For exam- ple, muscle stores glucose, which becomes glycogen and adipose tissue stores FFA which becomes triglycerides and this is all due to the insulin. The fuel- mobilizing hormone of the body is called the glucagon. This hormone breaks down the stored…

Pathology is a science that focuses on the diseases in the body. Which mainly examines the body fluids, tissues and organs to diagnose what disease is in the body. When doing special effects Pathology is very important for realistic features. Make up artists need to know the stages of healing so the continuity between different time frames and shots on screen. The body system that is being looked at is the Integumentary System which is any medical condition that has to do with the skin, nails…

Scissors were used to cut around the adipose tissue, extraocular muscles, and to separate various parts of the eye. The various structures and layers were noted and compared to that of a human’s eye. Pictures were taken at each stage of the dissection and labeled. Overall when the anatomy of a cow’s eye is compared to that of a human’s eye they are similar in structure and function. While doing the dissection first thing that can be seen is the adipose tissue that surrounds the eye which also…

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. Skin is made up of specific cells and tissues to act as the boundary between you, me and the world. However, there are some factors that we have to pay attention to regarding our skins. The physiology of Skin will give an in dept explanation and description of its structure, functions, and diseases. The skin is the…

Mandy Roberson Endocrine System The endocrine system has to do with the hormones of the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel throughout the bloodstream to other tissues. These hormones are secreted by endocrine glands throughout the body. Hormones help with the functions of certain organs and glands and help with digestion, muscle contraction, sex hormones for reproduction, sleep, and much more. They can really dictate how chemicals in the body react. The major function of the…

1. The three major layers that make up the skin are the epidermis (made of epithelial tissue; provides a waterproof coating for the skin), the dermis (made of dense connective tissue; contains collagen and elastin fibers, blood vessels, nerve endings sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and more), and the hypodermis (made of areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue; this layer of subcutaneous fat provides padding and insulation for the body). 2. There are two main categories…
