Viviana Colon Professor Jill McMillin G150/PHA1500 Section 08 Structure and Function of the Human Body May 30‚ 2010 The Cardiovascular and Muscular Systems Organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain task. Humans have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species’ organism. The human body consists of biological systems‚ that consist of organs‚ that consist of tissues‚ that consist of cells and connective tissue. Although an organ has a

Lab 28B: Endocrine System Physiology Computer Simulation Introduction The endocrine system is the second greatest control system of the body and has many effects on the tissues and organs. The thyroid gland‚ which is a part of the endocrine system‚ releases a hormone that maintains metabolism. This hormone is thyroxine. Thyroxine production is controlled by thyroid stimulating hormone‚ which is released by the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. In

Physiology Assignment After searching for a couple of days and still being unsure of what I was going to write about I turned and was watching my fish in my fish tank and realized that was what I would do it on. Then I realized that I spend many hour throughout the week watching my fish swim around‚ it is almost therapeutic. I found that the anatomy and physiology of a fish is very unique so that they can exist in the different underwater environments. In this paper we will cover their circulatory

Cardiovascular Disease The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with the term "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack‚ chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions‚ such as those that affect your heart ’s muscle‚ valves or rhythm‚ also are considered forms of heart disease. Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle

Examine one interaction between cognition and physiology in terms of behaviour. Cognition is the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought‚ experience‚ and the senses. Physiology refers to the way the organisms work in response. These interactions between a cognitive process and physiology create human behavior. one example of this interaction is the way mirror neurons work and how the body acts in response to these neurons. A mirror neuron is a neuron

University of Phoenix Material Animations: The Cardiovascular System Hemopoiesis After viewing the animation‚ answer these questions. 1. Hemopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation‚ which occurs primarily in the red bone marrow. 2. Hemopoiesis begins with undifferentiated cells called hemocytoblasts. 3. These stem cells give rise to many different cell types that make up the cellular elements of blood. 4. What types of hormones influence the differentiation

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
