Tissues in the Body Unit 5 – Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Epithelial Cuboidal – cube shaped‚ prominent nucleus. Can be found in medulla of kidney. Does not allow for passive diffusion easily. Columnar – tall‚ vertical‚ thick cells. Can be found in the small intestine. Does not allow passive diffusion easily. Active transport is needed. Move nutrients from intestine to blood = absorption! Can have microvilli to increase surface area. Squamous – large‚ thin and prominent

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

Human Physiology Lab Special Senses Cutaneous Senses and Vision September 24/26‚ 2012 Our bodies are capable of sensing a wide spectrum of stimuli. We are consciously aware of some of the information our bodies perceive‚ but much of the information that is sensed is beyond our consciousness. Receptors responsible for perception of stimuli are found in many places: skin‚ eyes‚ ears‚ mouth‚ blood vessels‚ lungs‚ brain—frankly‚ every cell in the body has sensory receptors. These receptors are

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac
