The Blood/Circulatory System Anatomy & Physiology I March 18‚ 2013 The blood system is part of the circulatory system. I am going to be focusing on the blood and the diseases which affect the blood. The blood‚ heart and blood vessels form the cardiovascular system which links the body’s internal and external environments together‚ by transporting substances between the two. Blood is a type of connective tissue that carries nutrients‚ oxygen and wastes through the body. Blood cells are formed

Peradeniya Functions of Blood * Blood is pumped by the heart through blood vessels‚ which extend throughout the body. * Blood helps to maintain homeostasis in several ways. 1. Transport of gases‚ nutrients‚ and waste products. * Oxygen enters blood in the lungs and is carried to cells. * Carbon dioxide‚ produced by cells‚ is carried in the blood to the lungs‚ from which it is expelled. * Ingested nutrients‚ ions‚ and water are transported by the blood from the digestive

according to Campbell et al. (1999)‚ water is the major constituent of cells. Reactions vital to life occur under aqueous conditions in the body and cells of all organisms‚ and the concentrations of reactants necessary for these reactions depend upon the amount of water present (Pough et al. 2004). By the process of osmosis‚ water moves from areas of lower to areas higher concentration across a water- permeable membrane‚ like a cell membrane (Nybakken and Bertness 2005). In order to maintain the proper

involving war. Most texts regarding anything about warfare are usually found to be extremely serious‚ however Gallagher’s are one of the few which are not; his texts are rather the complete opposite. For example‚ chapter one of his book is titled “The Red‚ The White‚ and The Emo”‚ then chapter two is named “Embrace the Suck”. By glancing at the titles‚ one can assume the author to be irreverent‚ especially when the name of the book itself is called “Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War”. His

One major step music took to gain influence was the addition of an accompanying visual message; this was done by taking songs and turning them into music videos. Most‚ if not all of us remember the golden age of these

Case Study 3: Cell stucture and function Background Information: what are the major feature of eukaryotic cells? In this case study‚ you will apply your knowledge regarding the function of cell structures. Metabolic disorders and unique characteristics of some cells will be used to illustrate the importance of individual structures. Pick 5 out the following 7 small case studies. Each one focuses on one cell component. For each cell component‚ answer the following questions and also any questions

the functions of the main cell components of the body cell. The cell membrane : is something that lets some things in and some things out of the cell. It is an outer cover for the cell. If the cell membrane was non existences the cell would spill all over the place. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. It is composed of a thin‚ double-layered sheet of lipids‚ around the Cell and is

Each cell can be regarded as a metabolic compartment‚ as separate place where the chemical processes of that cell occur‚ the cell is made up of different organelles each specifically designed to carry out their function‚ and this is known as a cells ultrastrucure. All cells have a cell surface membrane; these are made up of phospholipids and make up a bilayer. A phospholipid has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail which is made up of 2 fatty acid chains; these are arranged is two layers with
