The respiratory system of the horse is well adapted to athletic exercise‚ with unrestricted upper airway diameters‚ and a large lung capacity afforded by 18 ribs. These combine to enable air intakes of up to 1800 litres per minute in a galloping horse. Volumes of up to 300 litres of blood are pumped at high pressure through small lung capillaries surrounding 10 million air sacs to take up and deliver over 70 litres of oxygen per minute to the working muscles at the gallop. As a result‚ any restriction

purpose of this essay is to research and evaluate the digestive system effectively and extensively. Then describe the differences and indifferences of three different organisms in relation to their digestive system. The three organisms that have been chosen are the human‚ for comparative purposes‚ the Goliath Bird Eating Spider and the Cobra Lily carnivorous plant. The Human Digestive System Digestion is the breaking down of substance in the body‚ into an easier form of which it can be absorbed or

9Skeletal & Muscular System Flipped Resources Student Learning Objectives Central Concepts: There is a relationship between the organization of cells into tissues and the organization of tissues into organs. The structures and functions of organs determine their relationships within body systems of an organism. Homeostasis allows the body to perform its normal functions. Explain how the muscular/skeletal system (skeletal‚ smooth and cardiac muscles‚ bones‚ cartilage‚ ligaments

LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF NERVOURS SYSTEM: NEURONS: * STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell. Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. Information is transmitted to the receiving cell at junctions via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. At this juncture

Each step in digestion requires energy‚ and thus imposes an “overhead charge” on the energy made available from absorbed substances The major part of digestion takes place in the

Organ Systems of the Human Body The human body is made up of 11 organ systems. The Integumentary System‚ Skeletal System‚ Muscular System‚ Nervous System‚ Endocrine System‚ Circulatory System‚ Lymphatic System‚ Respiratory System‚ Urinary System‚ Digestive System‚ and Reproductive System for the male and female. Also‚ we have the Immune System which is an accumulation of cells rather than an organ system. Protection‚ support and movement are the main functions of the Integumentary system‚ Skeletal

The human body consists of eleven major organ systems that maintain homeostasis: the skeletal‚ muscular‚ circulatory‚ nervous‚ respiratory‚ digestive‚ urinary‚ endocrine‚ reproductive‚ integumentary and lymphatic systems. These organ systems are dependent on each other to keep the human body in homeostasis. For example‚ the nervous and endocrine systems coordinate functions of other body systems because they allow information to be communicated throughout the body. The nervous system consists of

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 specific function‚ organs also function as part of a group. The organ system is the organizational

Skeletal System Skeletal system is the biological system providing support in living organisms. Skin‚ muscle and bones allow movement. Skin - pliable covering. Muscles do actual moving. Bones give anchor to move against. The skeleton functions not only as the support for the body but also in haematopoiesis‚ the manufacture of blood cells that takes place in bone marrow. This is why people who have cancer of the bone marrow almost always die. It is also necessary for protection of vital organs
