Exercise No. Respiratory System I. Introduction Oxygen is a very important element which our body needs. Without oxygen life is not possible without oxygen which helps in producing energies that our body cells need. But‚ how do we acquire this oxygen needed by the body? It is by the process called Respiration. Respiration is a process of taking in and out of air from the body. There are two kinds of respiration called cellular respiration and external respiration. Cellular respiration

political/administration system has found and easy solution to this problem yet. It is against this background that answers can be found to question of whether bureaucracy should be subjected to political control and how much control should be exercised. Traditionally and persistently‚ typology of governmental form has been argued to rest on the location of real power. In the fifth century B.C. classified all governments as monarchies‚ aristocracies or democracies. “Every political system operates”‚ says

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM 1) KNOW ALL OF THE ENDOCRINE GLAND & HOROMONES * Hypothalamus Although it is part of the brain‚ the hypothalamus secretes several hormones and is very closely related to the activity of the endocrine system. * The hormones it secretes are: * Releasing hormones – stimulate the secretion of specific anterior pituitary hormones * Release inhibiting hormones – inhibit the secretion of specific anterior pituitary hormones Pituitary * A small
Premium Hypothalamus Endocrine system Hormone
The endocrine system is a control system of ductless glands that secrete chemical "instant messengers" called hormones that circulate within the body via the bloodstream to affect distant cells within specific organs. Endocrine glands secrete their products immediately into the blood or interstitial fluid‚ without storage of the chemical. Hormones act as "messengers‚" and are carried by the bloodstream to different cells in the body‚ which interpret these messages and act on them. Typical endocrine

Complete information on the mechanism of Respiratory System in Man NIRMALA AGARWAL Respiratory organs are those which are concerned with the passage of the air to and from the lungs. The latter are‚ of course‚ mot important of all. The passage is also called respiratory tract. For the sake of convenience‚ the respiratory tract can be divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part extends from the external nostrils (external openings of nose) to the vocal sac present in the neck. The lower part
