Systems

What is the most important system in our body? We have 17 systems in our body. The muscular system controls walking, talking, sitting, standing, eating and other daily functions that people constantly perform. It also helps maintain posture and circulate blood and substances through the body, among other functions. The muscular system is associated with the activities of the legs, arms and other things, muscles also control facial expressions, movements and respiration. There are three types…

or damaged cells and if one is located, the macrophage “eats” the cell. After consumption, the macrophage turns into an antigen presenting cell. It then travels to the lymphatic system where is presents the antigens to either the T or B lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white blood cells produced by the lymphatic system. The T lymphocytes (T-cell) fight specific pathogens and travel throughout the body. Once infection is gone the memory T-cells remain…

The skeletal system is a very important part of a human’s body. Without the skeletal system, we would not be able to move. The skeletal system is made up of mostly bone, but also tendons, ligaments and cartilage, which are arranged into a solid structure that supports and protects the body. We will look at the skeletal system in more detail covering, the functions, bone structure, bone classification, joint classification and diseases that affect the skeletal system. The skeletal system has…

Unit Four- Question Three- Tate Sensenbach Congress periodically attributes some of its characteristics to British Parliament. For example, both systems use different houses to voice disparate opinions. However, the two systems of government more often contrast with each other. Parliament, unlike Congress, represents houses through a specific order in society. Members of the House of Lords inherited their seats through ancestors attaining peerage, which is a title of nobility. This specific…

The job of the immune system is to be a defense mechanism against diseases and any other harmful substance that enters the body. When it is functioning properly the immune system will attack any invaders and neutralize that specific threat. It will also create an encoding of that specific disease or sickness so that the body can never be harmed by that specific one ever again. So essentially the immune system is an ever changing and constantly strengthening tool that is essential in maintaining…

The urinary system is not something you think about until you have had that second or third glass of water or you wake in the middle of the night and stumble through the house to the bathroom. The urinary system starts with the kidneys which filter blood and produces urine. Urine then carried by what is called ureters which are two tubes that carry the urine to the bladder. The urine can be stored in the bladder until it becomes full in which case it then sends signals to the brain telling you…

The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic capillaries and vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, the thymus, the tonsils, and lymph itself. Some of the fluid that is deposited into the tissues from the blood is taken up by lymphatic capillaries where it becomes lymph. Lymphatic capillaries and vessels have valves that prevent back flow, ensuring one-way flow of lymphatic fluids. Lymphatic capillaries eventually converge to form lymphatic vessels, which are similar in comparison to veins. Lymphatic…

consists of about 100 billion nerve cells that receives and send messages to other cells through chemical and electrical means (Skaggs, 2013). The main job of the nervous system is to receive data through sense organs, translates messages, process and respond to both internal and external stimuli (Saladin, 2012 p440). Nervous system uses chemical and electrical signal to communicate from neurons to another at high speed. More than 100 billion neurons found in the brain. Basic part of what make…

The Lymphatic system consists of the tonsils, lymphatic vessels, the thymus, lymph nodes, and the spleen, and its functions include immunity, lipid absorption, and tissue fluid recovery (Saladin, Sullivan, & Gan, 2015). The lymphatic system consists of 6 main types of lymphatic cells: B Lymphocytes (B Cells), Dendritic Cells, Macrophages, Natural Killer (NK) Cells, Reticular Cells, and T Lymphocytes (T Cells). The unique function of each cell is briefly described below. B Lymphocytes (B Cells):…

adoption of a strong, organized form of government. The Westminster system is one of the most prominent systems of government globally thanks to the now defunct empire’s far-reaching influences. The system of a bicameral parliament, which is what the Westminster system is, represents every citizen’s voice, but that is not necessarily the case. Many of the countries that impose this system of government have attempted to amend the system; such is the case with the United Kingdom and their House…
