appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton supports the head‚ neck and torso‚ and the appendicular supports the limbs and attaches the limbs to the rest of the body. There are five types of bones in the body‚ short bones‚ long bones‚ flat bones‚ irregular bones‚ and sesamoid bones. The skeleton has many functions. It supports the body and gives the body its shape. It allows movement to occur. The skeleton protects delicate organs for example the ribs protect the heart and lungs. It allows joints to move

Anatomy and Physiology The main components of the brain—the cerebrum‚ the cerebellum‚ diencephalon and the brainstem—have distinct functions. The Cerebrum Is the largest and most developmentally advanced part of the human brain. It is responsible for several higher functions‚ including higher intellectual function‚ speech‚ emotion‚ integration of sensory stimuli of all types‚ initiation of the final common pathways for movement‚ and fine control of movement. The cerebrum is divided into a right

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

Lab 9 Report: Exercise Physiology Introduction When the human body is put to work and undergoes any sort of activity‚ it requires more energy and resources in order to sustain this. The cells in muscles and organs must work faster‚ and thus require more energy to do so. The body compensates by increasing heart rate and respiration in order to increase the amount of oxygen entering‚ carbon dioxide leaving‚ and rate at which these gases are delivered to cells throughout the body. In this lab‚ we tested

2ml/kg/min Standard Deviation for females: 4.7ml/kg/min 2a) The differences in body composition‚ size‚ haemoglobin cells‚ blood volume account for the variance in VO2 max in males and females. Men have more lean muscle mass and respiration occurs at the cellular level of the mitochondria in the muscle‚ so the more mitochondria means the body can be in a longer state of aerobic respiration (Bonen & Shaw 2008). 2b) V02 max decrease is accompanied by the

data using a mouse model of osteogenic sarcoma‚ a deadly bone malignancy. Turns out that in mice‚ Notch 1 intracellular domain induces bone tumors 100% penetrance‚ and it seems as though osteosarcoma in mice initiated by Notch activation mimics the human disease. Dr. Brendan Lee‚ the corresponding author of the report‚ says that "This is the first example of Notch1 driving this type of cancer. Our study supports the hypothesis that Notch activating mutations can act as a common triggering mechanism
