characteristic. They are part of the phylum Chordata. Firstly, they have bilateral symmetry which allows for a very distinct head region.

types of tissue; muscosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa (Sherwood, 2010, p.591-594).

The submucosa is the second most inner layer that consists of thick connective tissue to provide elasticity and dispensability functions that…

Because of the changes that influence the endocrine system it is easy for healthcare professionals to misinterpret the symptoms of diabetes and thyroid disease. As we get old, the thyroid and the pituitary gland become small in sizes which lead to a reduction of all their primary function. Older adults, as a result of these changes, lose their ability to adequately produce insulin…

Without our nervous system we would not be able to carry out basic actions such as eating, sleeping, walking or talking. It governs several systems that we require to survive, which include the endocrine system, the digestive system and the cardiovascular system. It is the nervous system that protects us from harm and injury. Primarily, if neurons were incapable of communicating with each other this would prevent the nervous system from functioning…
