concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory processes and in carrying out photosynthesis; they absorb certain minerals and sugars so to use as a source of energy and eradicate wastes in order to maintain specific requirements for survival. Large amounts of water are absorbed by root hairs and are then distributed across the cells of plants by the process of osmosis; water being essential

Tissue Engineering: The Future of Surgery and Medicine The only thing worse than needing an organ? transplant is the waiting list. The average wait time for a heart transplant is four months and the wait time for a kidney extends to around five years. This issue is being addressed by scientist with the intention of changing the future. Tissue engineering is on the verge of becoming one of the most vital resources in medicine; it has a growing importance in organ and cartilage replacement and is

(Webster new world medicine dictionary. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=9973) What are Hormones? Hormones are chemicals that carry messages from organs of your body to your cells. The glands that secrete hormones are part of the endocrine system (pituitary‚ thyroid‚ adrenals and pancreas‚ to name a few) and work in large part to keep the

Plants‚ also called green plants (Viridiplantae in Latin)‚ are living organisms of the kingdom Plantae including such multicellular groups as flowering plants‚ conifers‚ ferns and mosses‚ as well as‚ depending on definition‚ the green algae‚ but not red or brown seaweeds like kelp‚ nor fungi or bacteria. Green plants have cell walls with cellulose and characteristically obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis using chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts‚ which gives them their

The three basic organs of a vascular plant are the stems‚ leaves‚ and roots. The stems consist of nodes‚ where leaves attach‚ and internodes between the nodes. The stem is responsible for elongation of the plant and acts as a central axis for other organs to attach to. The roots help to anchor the plant as well as absorb water and nutrients

Human Anatomy and Physiology 2 Growth Hormone and Thyroid hormones Growth hormone is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. This hormone was once believed to be of importance only during periods of active growth‚ but it is now recognized that adults produce nearly as much GH as children (Adams and Koch‚ 2009).GH stimulates the liver to produce sommatropins that then targets a variety of cells. Although its major targets are bone and skeletal muscle‚ GH stimulates many types of

Classification of Epithelial Tissue Location of Epithelium The four basic tissue types in the body are the epithelial‚ connective‚ muscular‚ and nervous tissue. These tissues exist and function in close association with one another. The epithelial tissue‚ or epithelium‚ consists of sheets of cells that cover the external surfaces of the body‚ line the internal cavities‚ form various organs and glands‚ and line their ducts. Epithelial cells are in contact with each other‚ either in a single
