“ Ageing is a continuous‚ complex‚ and dynamic process that begins with birth and ends with death. And unless we die in our early years‚ each of us will grow old and experience the effects of the ageing process”. (Pirkl‚ 2009). The ageing process and why changes have taken place in the last fifty years. This report discusses the ageing process and why changes have taken place in the last fifty years. The ageing process is a change in an organism overtime and can be referred to as a multidimensional

principal tissues - these are epithelium‚ connective tissue‚ muscle and nerve tissue. The following paragraphs describe the main structural features‚ functions and sub-divisions of each type of tissue. EPITHELIUM Epithelium is characterised by closely packed cells and has very little extra-cellular material (ground substance or fibres). Cells are held together by means of desmosomes and tight junctions and form continuous sheets or layers which either cover the body’s outer surface (skin)

The musculo skeletal system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move‚ it provides stability‚ protection‚ movement and support to the body . It is also made up of bones‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ cartilage‚ joints and other connective tissue that binds tissues and organs together. The musculo skeletals job is to The skeletal system acts like a framework to support vital organs by keeping them place when doing vigourous sports‚ for example the vertebrae acts like a pillar and holds the

LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

is pumped by the heart and circulated through the body via a system of arteries and veins. It is an essential component of the body and without it we would not be able to survive. This paper discusses the anatomy and physiology of blood in a brief review. Anatomy and Physiology of Blood The blood is made up of four main components. These are plasma‚ red blood cells‚ white blood cells and platelets. The blood is circulated throughout the body by one of two types of vessels; arteries or veins
