Systems

The skeletal system has several functions. These functions include supporting the body, protecting the vital organs, providing a point of attachment for skeletal muscles, giving the body shape, and aiding in the formation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and white blood cells, and platelet. In addition, the bones of the skeletal system also store the body’s main supply of calcium. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to weaken and become fragile due to a lack of calcium in the…

The respiratory system is concerned with the exchange of water and carbon dioxide, the control of body fluid, the control of pH, and particularly the maintenance of homeostasis. Going into this lab, I wanted to observe the different parts of respiratory physiology and determine their purpose in being able to maintain homeostasis in the body. Through this lab I learned about lung capacity, or the amount of air my lungs can carry during different stages, such as inspiratory reserve volume,…

The integumentary system consists of the largest organ of the body which along with supporting structures that cover majority of the surface area of the human body. Responsible for protection, thermoregulation, palpation, and excretion. Cutaneous Membrane: More commonly referred to as the skin, the largest organ of the body that as a is composed of two main components: Epidermis- The outer most layer of the skin. Acts as a physical barricade against microbe’s due to its configuration of tough…

There are many types of economic systems that are created for a fully efficient population. Countries choose to follow the basic characteristics of the different economic systems to best serve their needs. In order for a country to be successful, the people should have a voice in how to run the country. A country is made of a variety of people who have a range of different ideas on how to run the country and the government was to listen to their ideas and choose the one that will keep majority…

I’m sure that at one point or another in your life you’ve heard of the digestive system & the physical changes (a change in appearance) & chemical changes (irreversible changes that start with one thing & end with another) which occur during this process. But did you really learn what the digestive truly is & does for our bodies? Did you learn that not only do we see physical & chemical changes in nature but also in our bodies? If not, I’m here to tell you all about it. Put on your seatbelts &…

Williams Biology 31 May 2016 Period 2 The 5 Systems of the Human Body The human body is a fascinating thing. It is made up of 5 key component systems that keep the human body working as efficiently and smoothly as possible. These 5 systems are the respiratory system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, and the digestive system. The Respiratory System is the system in the human body that allows us breathe properly and efficiently. The system is split into two main components;…

(The nervous system Louisa Idzal) The nervous system is all connected because it’s a web of nerve cells and fibers that all send nerve impulses throughout and between body parts. The nervous system is really important because it’s in charge of sending messages to the spinal cord and brain to and from all parts of the body. Main organs of the nervous system are Nervous Tissue, Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, Sense Organs, and the Cerebrospinal Fluid. The nervous tissue is the main tissue of the…

A. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM 1. What are the central and peripheral nervous systems? What structures are part of each? The central nervous system is made up of two parts, the brain, and the spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of two parts as well, the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. 2. What are Neurons? Describe the key parts of Neurons, including: Dendrites, Myelin, Axons, and Synapse. To keep it simple, a neuron is a nerve cell. Most neurons are very…

1. INTRODUCTION Urie Bronfenbrenner was a theorist who studied the human development. He went on to develop a theory called the ecological system, this theory is an approach to the study of human development. It also consists of studying the nature of human beings and how they develop. According to Bronfenbrenner the ecological systems helps us to recognize why humans behave in a particular way, when comparing our behaviour in the existence our families and our behaviour at school.…

between the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)? Discuss the activities the nervous system is responsible for. In my research about the differences of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system is that the central nervous system, also known as CNS, controls the entire body. The central nervous system deals with the brain and spinal cord. It also controls everything we need to survive on a daily basis. The central nervous system consists of our…
