Capillary

alveoli is supported by tons of numerous capillaries, and has a large surface area related to volume. Sime functions of the Alveoli are that the cell does gas exchange, once the air reaches the alveoli it diffuses and is joined with other cells and enters the bronchial passage, helping with gas exchange. The alveoli are particular to mammalian lungs. The main function of the Alveoli is to assist with the process of gas exchange. During inhalation capillaries expand as a negative pressure in the…

Briefly identify and discuss the specific tissue type associated with human blood. Blood is recognized as a form of connective tissue sine it contains a nonliving fluid matrix the plasma that living cells form substances are suspended. There are over one hundred different components (i.e. nutrients, hormones, gases, metabolites, waste, electrolytes, and proteins) that are dissolved/suspended in the plasma, which contains over nighty percent of water. However, the structure of plasma continually…

function test is diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). In addition it's known as the transfer factor of the lung for CO (TLCO). This test measures the capability of the lungs to transmit gas from inhaled air to the pulmonary capillaries in the red blood cells and to determine the efficiency of the lungs to exchange gases. The indication of using this test is to recognize the cause of hypoxemia and Dyspnea, identify pulmonary hypertension in patient at risk, to diagnosis of…

The purpose of this experiment was to understand osmosis, however, the deeper importance was that it could be compared to a real cell in our body. The egg in this lab can represent a red blood cell. When cells such as red blood cells are placed in pure water, water enters them through osmosis and they swell up. If this continues for a long period of time, they have a great chance of bursting. On the other hand, when cells are placed in a lower concentrated solution, water leaves them through…

blood pressure and the flow of blood in the blood vessels. The thinnest layer of the blood vessel structure is the tunica intima. Blood flows through the thin layer of endothelial cells. (“Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries”) Blood goes through the body in blood vessels called arteries, capillaries and veins. Arteries keep blood flowing away from the heart and throughout the body. The blood that travels through the arteries carries o2 molecules to give to the whole body. Arteries are thicker than…

Each nephron consists of small blood capillaries called glomerulus, and the renal tubule. Urea, and water forms urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney. The two ureters are narrow tubes that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, the bladder is…

pulmonary circulation to start its cycle again. In the pulmonary and systemic circulation systems, there are different types of blood vessels that aid in the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products including arteries, arterioles, capillaries, veins, and…

Post exercise peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2%) and pulse rate were assessed for every participant using a portable pulse-oximetry device (Nonin 9570 LED pulse oximeter, USA). Percentage of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation was measured after connecting the optical diodes on the patients’ fingers by trans-cutaneous pulse oximetry. Each experiment was performed…

THE MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM. Naturally the ultimate goal for all living organisms on earth is the preservation and continuity of their kind. This is achieved through reproduction. Reproduction or procreation is the biological process through which organisms give rise to new individuals referred to as offspring (Silverstein, Silverstein, & Silverstein, 2010). It is in two forms namely; asexual and sexual. Sexual reproduction is the most common, advanced and more…

As a mammal, kangaroo has a respiratory system similar to human respiratory system. They breathe though their nose and mouth. They have a diaphragm and a pair of lungs which are sealed in pleural membranes inside the chest cavity and protected by ribcage. The lowering of diaphragm and expanding of ribcage create a negative pressure in lungs to draw air into lungs, so-called inspiration. Their breathing is linked to their hopping. During locomotion, the diaphragm move up to push out air of…
