ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is basically a tube running through the body from the mouth to the anus. The organs of the digestive system include the oral cavity (mouth)‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and large intestine and rectum. Their role is to break down food and deliver the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells. The undigested food that remains in the tract leaves the body through the anus as feces. The break down activities that

the lungs‚ carbon dioxide and water diffuse out of the blood plasma and into the alveolus i.e. from a high to a low concentration. In the same way‚ oxygen diffuses from the alveolus into the blood and then from the blood into the body cells. In each case‚ oxygen is passing from a high to a low concentration. 4. Explain the functions of the following parts of the respiratory system?? Larynx: The larynx is a passageway for air between the pharynx and trachea. It filters bacteria‚ helps in voice production

Baker’s Cyst Anatomy And Physiology To better understand a Baker’s cyst‚ it helps to understand the anatomy of the knee joint. A cyst is a lined sac that contains fluid. Cysts that form around joints are due to a bulging of the joint capsule. A Baker’s cyst develops from the knee joint capsule. It protrudes into the tissues in the back of the knee. Four bones come together at the knee joint: * Patella/Kneecap - The patella is a small‚ flat‚ round bone that articulates with the femur in

1/ What is the driving force in the diffusion? Randomness. As far as forces go i believe you can end up with a pressure if you have two different concentration on opposite sides of a membrane. Cells have been know to explode as a result of this effect. Wikipedia.org‚ "The World’s Encyclopedia" really says it best Search ’Molecular diffusion" "Molecular diffusion‚ often called simply diffusion‚ is a net transport of molecules from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration by

Since I was a child‚ I knew I had a strong interest in becoming something in the medical field. Anatomy has always been a very important factor to have in my life because of all the things I’ve witnessed growing up in a place where there was no one educated enough to help out. Thus‚ I took the Anatomy and Physiology course provided at my school. Taking this class informed me of the structure and functions of the body parts in the human system such as the Immune and Digestive system‚ which can affect

Anatomy and Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory
