Harvey (1578-1657) discovered how blood circulates through the body. These are just a few of the many contributors who added to our understanding of the human body and how it functions. Anatomy is the study of the structure or morphology of the body and how the body parts are organized. | | | Physiology is the study of the functions of body parts‚ what they do and how they do it. These two areas of the organization of the body are so closely associated that it is difficult to separate them

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.

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.

1. Label a diagram of the respiratory system?? 2. Describe the process of breathing?? Breathing consists of two phases. The first is inspiration and the second is expiration. During inspiration‚ the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below
