Body Systems Michele Frizzell HCS/212 March 22‚ 2014 Brenda Young Body Systems Several systems in the human body maintain its proper function. These systems fight disease and infection; maintain proper blood flow to lungs and body‚ and dispose of any waste that the body no longer needs. Learning how each system works was educational and quite amazing. Our immune system fights off bacteria‚ viruses‚ and disease. Our environment if full of harmful toxins that our bodies are subject to daily

Observing the role of homeostasis in the body after exercise Biology (T): Functioning Organisms Biology Practical Report 0383210 Mrs Woinarski Due 14th November 2012 Introduction: Homeostasis plays a vital role in the maintenance of a normal environment in which bodily systems are able to function most efficiently. The importance of homeostasis can be seen in blood pressure and pulse rate‚ as measurements which are

term Homeostasis to describe the body’s ability to maintain a constant stable internal environment despite the changes to the external surrounding1‚2. The body has a range of receptors these are used to constantly monitor the body’s internal conditions to keep them in physiological limits. To achieve this‚ every organ works together and thus the body works together as a whole. This requires body to communicate with the organs‚ this is established through two very highly specialized systems; nervous

Body Systems There are 10 body systems‚ one of them is the Integumentary (skin). It is composed of hair‚ skin‚ nails‚ sense receptions and oil glands. Its functionis to protect from outside‚ to regulate the body temperature‚ to make synthesis of hormones & chemicals and is used as a sense organ. Another one is the Skeletal System (bones). It is made of about 206 bones‚ that are divided in tho categories: axial bones (in the body by itself) and apendicular bones (arms & legs). We have Joints too

LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF NERVOURS SYSTEM: NEURONS: * STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell. Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. Information is transmitted to the receiving cell at junctions via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. At this juncture

Homeostasis is important in maintaining a healthy functioning of the body. Enzymes within the body are vitally responsible for speeding up chemical reactions and are often referred to as catalysts. In order to work at their optimum‚ enzymes need a specific constant temperature within the internal environment of the body to function correctly and reduce denaturing. A healthy human body should have a body temperature of 37∙C‚ the optimum temperature for enzymes to function. Therefore‚ the temperature

How to Maintain A Computer System Start a notebook that includes information on your system. This notebook should be a single source of information about your entire system‚ both hardware and software. Each time you make a change to your system‚ adding or removing hardware or software‚ record the change. Always include the serial numbers of all equipment‚ vendor support numbers‚ and print outs for key system files. Secondly periodically review disk directories and delete unneeded files. Files

Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are
