Anatomy and Physiology are two branches of science and they provide the foundation for understanding the body’s parts and functions. Anatomy is the science of body structures and the relationships among them. Physiology is the science of body functions or how the body parts work. Anatomical position is the description of any region or part of the body in a specific stance. The anatomical position is the erect position of the body with the face directed forward, arms at the side, the palms of…

apart and his heart pounding, trying to stay alive. Now was my chance everything I learned about anatomy could help me in this moment. No more time to be wasted I go into the room with anatomy deep in my veins. The knowledge of anatomy helps in the saving of lives, but we didn’t always have this information. Anatomy has a history, however, how did it all begin, and who brought the knowledge of human anatomy to us. To understand…

in an area of expertise that is constantly advancing leads me to believe there is no better of a time to be studying this fascinating subject. A-level Biology brings me the most enjoyment out of my chosen subjects as we explore topics such as DNA, cells and biological molecules. As the year progressed I saw how every topic links to one another…

Neurons are only a subset of the billions of cells in our brain, but they are the powerhouse driving everything we do. Common genetic and cellular properties define them as neurons. Beyond these defining features, neurons are heterogeneous in there gene expression, shape, and role in driving behavior (cite Zeisel et al. 2015 and Kamme et al 2003). Even within very homogenous populations such as the pyramidal CA1 neurons, there is significant variation in neuronal properties. This leads to…

Animal Physiology As the meaning of word ’anatomy’ is the biological form of an animal, physiology means the biological function of an animal. Animal physiology differs in several ways from animal to animal, but all animals share some principal functions. Such functions are attaining nutrients, performing osmoregulation and excretion, and protecting themselves against pathogens. Animals manage these actions by exchanging with the environment. Exchanging is the action when substances in an…

Name and discuss six functions of the integumentary system. * Protection- chemical (low pH secretions & bacterial activity), physical/mechanical (keratin &glycolipids block most water & water soluble substances), biological barriers (dendritic cells, macrophages & DNA). * Body temperature regulation- helps keep body temperature at a normal level. * Cutaneous sensations- sense touch, pain, and temperature. * Metabolic functions- synthesis of Vitamin D, chemical conversion of…

Animal experimentation is the use of animals to test new drugs and products before they are used on humans to ensure that they are safe. This may seem to be a beneficial technique to humans, but it is the opposite for the animals. They live their lives in confining cages and suffer from extreme abuse and ultimately death. Animal testing has been an immense part of scientific research for years, but new technological resources of this generation prove that it is not only unethical but unnecessary…

Physician-Scientists like Aristotle and Erasistratus have performed experiments on living animals. Many years later, Galen, another Greek Physician who had a major role in medicine history, experimented on many animals to advance the understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology (Hajar 1). In the twelfth…

9, 1737 in a middle-class family. Galvani's quest as a scientist started when he went to medical and surgical school at the University of Bologna. His degree in medicine led to him becoming an anatomist. Galvani progressed even further, using his anatomy skills to become a teacher In 1776. One day when Galvani…
