Hannah Loback Muscle Essay The muscular system is a network of tissues that controls movement of the human body. Attached to the skeletal system are a multitude of muscles consisting of tissues‚ blood vessels‚ tendons‚ and nerves. Muscles are a bundle of fibrous tissue in the body that have the ability to contract‚ thus producing movement and maintenance of body parts. Without this system the ability to function and maintain a healthy lifestyle would be impossible. Correct posture‚ locomotion‚ and

Pinak Patel Anatomy and Physiology Professor Jargen December 14‚ 2011 Skeletal System and Muscular System In anatomy and physiology we study the structure of living things and the function of living systems. In physiology‚ the scientific method is applied to determine how different organisms‚ organ systems‚ organs‚ cells‚ and biomolecules carry out the chemical or physical function that they have in the living system. Both anatomy and physiology are subcategories of biology. Throughout our

Chapter 2 Chapter 2 is about Molecular level of life/ the chemical component of life. What does chemistry have to do with our life? Chemical aspect of life. Matter: anything in the universe that has weight and occupies space. The weight is called mass. The mass will remain constant regardless of gravity. Can exist in our body in three different forms Three states of matter in our body. * Solid: in our body are organs‚ Bones‚ they will have different shapes. * Liquid: In our body

Horner’s Syndrome Anatomy and physiology Horner’s syndrome is a rare condition that targets the nerves in one’s eyes and face. Horner’s syndrome is caused by any type of interruption in a pack of nerves that begin in a part of one’s brain that is called the hypothalamus and it travels to one’s face to their eyes. Horner’s syndrome’s symptoms include‚ drooping eyelips‚ and small constricted pupil. In an eye examine one’s eye may have changed in the way one’s pupil opens and closes or
