To understand that heart and blood vessel functions are highly coordinated. 4. To comprehend that pressure differences provide the driving force that moves blood through the blood vessels. 5. To recognize that body tissues may differ in their blood demands at a given time. 6. To identify the most important factors in control of blood flow.

WEEK 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of body and parts‚ while physiology is the study of how the body work and function‚ their relationship is seen for example in the heart‚ there are two valves (anatomy) and these two valves help the heart pump blood. 2. The atom is the smallest particle of an element. An example is carbon ( C ) which is the building block of life. A group of atoms could form for example‚ a water molecule

in the alveoli?? Carbon dioxide and water diffuses out of the body cells and into the blood plasma because the cytoplasm has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide and water compared with the blood. In the lungs‚ carbon dioxide and water diffuse out of the blood plasma and into the alveolus i.e. from a high to a low concentration. In the same way‚ oxygen diffuses from the alveolus into the blood and then from the blood into the body cells. In each case‚ oxygen is passing from a high to a low concentration

The Human Body The seven organizational approaches to studying the human body are body planes and body directions‚ body cavities‚ quadrants and regions‚ anatomy and physiology‚ microscopic to macroscopic‚ body systems and medical specialties. Body planes and body directions are the division of the body into sections from front to back‚ right and left‚ and top and bottom. These sections are called

Anatomy and Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory

The Anatomy and Physiology of Cystic Fibrosis Samantha J. Cordova Pueblo Community College Abstract The main topic researched in this paper is cystic fibrosis. The research in detail is that cystic fibrosis is classified as a genetic disorder and in what ways this disorder affects the gene expressions. More facts found in this paper will be who can get cystic fibrosis‚ which organs are mostly affected‚ and what specifically causes the problems found from cystic fibrosis. Common symptoms

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.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe‚ we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. Respiration is achieved through the mouth‚ nose‚ trachea‚ lungs‚ and diaphragm. Oxygen enters the
