The integumentary system is the skin and its derivatives; it provides external protection for the body. Its characteristics are: covers the entire body‚ accounts for about 7% of total body weight‚ pliable‚ yet durable‚ thickness: 1.5 to 4.0 mm‚ composed of the epidermis and dermis. 2. Describe and give at least one example of each of the functions of the integumentary system. Protection –

will outline the cells structure and will also portray the main activities of the organelles. The cell is the main structural and functional group of all living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life which is a form of living things‚ and is often called the building block of life. Cells are grouped together to form tissues which all have specialized functions. There are many structures to a cell which all carry out different activities. The nucleus is found in every cell in the body and is

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN HEART The human heart is a cone shape‚ hollow‚ muscular organ located in the mediastinum between the lungs. It is a about the size of an adult fist. The heart rests on the diaphragm‚ tilting forward and to the left in the client’s chest. Each beat of the heart pumps about 60ml of blood‚ or 5L/min. During strenuous physical activity‚ the heart can double the amount of blood pumped to meet the increased oxygen needs of the peripheral tissues. ANTERIOR VIEW

INTROduction TO THE HUMAN BODY 1. Define anatomy and physiology While anatomy provides us with a static image of the body architecture‚ physiology reveals the body’s dynamic and animated workings. Physiology often focuses on events at the cellular or molecular level. A. Anatomy – studies the structure of the body parts and their relationship to one another. i. Developmental – concerns structural changes that in the body occur throughout the lifespan. Embryology studies the developmental changes

Chapter 1 - The Human Body Anatomy is the science relating to the structural organisation of living organisms. Physiology is the science relating to the operational functions of living organisms. The many parts and systems of the body are integrated and function co-operatively to provide a healthy living body via 6 hierarchy levels of structural organisation. The basic or first level is the Chemical Level‚ where atoms are combined to form molecules. The second level is the Cellular Level

1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology. Explain the principle of complementarity and how it applies to this course. The term anatomy refers to the structure of the body and its parts. Along with the study of the body structure‚ anatomy also refers to how these body parts work together and their working relationship as a whole. Physiology is the study of how the living systems in the body function and work. When studying the Physiology of the body it is most understandable if terms from the underlying
