everything from how a train worked to how an air conditioner worked. I must have made him answer at least a 1000 questions throughout my lifetime. Eventually‚ I found an interest in human anatomy. I remember my parents buying me books one in particular titled “The Human Body System”. I remember being glued to the pages. Each page captivated me with a new sense of excitement. It fascinated me how humans were made of billions of cells‚ and how the heart actually had valves and chambers functioning to pump

Food Processing in Human Body System. Foods are very important to human body. According to Vittadini et al. (2001)‚ foods provide energy that isneeded for human in order to do daily activities. Besides that‚ food is important for growth and it supplies vitamins and minerals to repair any damage in human skin and also prevent the body to get illnesses easily (Vittadini et al.‚ 2001). Human body cannot use food that they eat directly until it is broken down into small molecules(Campbell et al

importance of the Respiratory system is quite obvious given that as human beings we need this system to help us with our most fatal tasks of breathing. Although the importance is assumed and acknowledged‚ many do not really get the whole concept of the Respiratory system. For example‚ how it works? Why it works? And what all is involved. These questions and others will be strategically answered in the following work. The Respiratory System delivers oxygen to the body and takes the carbon dioxide

vital things in our lives and the chemistry they are made of. You are what you eat. But do you recall munching some molybdenum or snacking on selenium? Some 60 chemical elements are found in the body‚ but what all of them are doing there is still unknown. Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen‚ carbon‚ hydrogen and nitrogen‚ with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements.

In order to survive all the body systems in an animal need to function together. In all there are 10 major human body systems. Three of these systems are the skeletal system‚ muscular system‚ and the digestive system. The skeletal system supports and protects our inner organs. Without it we would be like a big bowl of jello‚ and your organs would get glopped by the rest of your body. Our bones make it possible to move. To help us move better we have four different types of joints. A joint is where

on the 12 major human body systems‚ which are skeletal‚ muscular‚ nervous‚ endocrine‚ reproductive‚ respiratory‚ excretory‚ circulatory‚ integumentary‚ lymphatic‚ digestive and the immune system. Each of these systems are important for the body and help the body in its own unique way. If one fails‚ it may cause a domino effect and cause the downfall of another system. Here we are going to start with the skeletal system. The skeleton is a flexible framework that supports the body‚ protects vital
