It is important that we understand how our bodies work so that we will be able to take good care of them while we are here on Earth in these spectacular containers!! Your body is covered by the largest organ and is supported within by foundation‚ your skeletal system. All your body systems have to work together in order to keep you alive and well.

The kidney as several roles as a homeostatic organ‚ one of the roles is the regulation of blood PH ‘the kidney excrete a variable amount of hydrogen ions into the urine and conserve bicarbonate ions’ (Principles of human anatomy) as these two activities help regulate the blood PH level. The urogenital system ‘is a combination of two systems of the body: the reproductive

Urine production If body fluids are hypo osmolar‚ then kidney will produces hypo osmolar urine. (Dilute urine) If body fluids are hyper osmolar (dehydration) then kidney produces hyperosmolar urine. (concentrated urine) In the renal cortex the osmolarity of interstitial fluid is 300mOs/L going to 1200mOs/L in the papilla. From the cortex to the papilla there is an increasing hyper osmolarity of the interstitial fluid. Cortico papillary osmolarity gradient. Urine with osmolarity more than 300mOs/l

HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO RESPIRATION In this essay we will consider a few major aspects of respiration. We shall first consider the interesting history of the study of respiration before moving on to our modern understanding of respiration. We will look at the structure and function of the respiratory system including the upper and lower respiratory tracts with a note on the control system. Secondly we will consider the physiology of respiration. Thirdly we will discuss some

urea. The kidneys remove unwanted substances such as urea‚ excess water and salt. © Boardworks Ltd 2009 What is urea? Excess amino acids in the body are broken down by the liver‚ producing a waste substance called urea. This process is important because it converts toxic ammonia to urea‚ which is done using carbon dioxide. Once formed‚ urea is transported by the circulatory system to the kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood‚ removing urea and excess water and salt‚ which forms urine. Urine is stored

Unit 1- Principles of Anatomy and Physiology Functions of the skeletal system There are five main functions of the skeletal system. To protect‚ to support‚ movement‚ cell production and storage. The skeletal system protects delicate and important organs from harm. An example of this is the ribcage. This protects your heart and lungs from anything that tries to harm it. Another example is the brain. The brain is protected by the skull. The skeletal system also provides support for the body as it
