Breathing, we do it subconsciously every day. The Respiratory system is responsible for this process to take place, the moment we do not breath our body begins to deteriorate, tissue, organs, begin to fail without vital oxygen. Most diseases that affect the respiratory system are deadly and must be taken very seriously. Our ability to breath must not be taken for granted. The Respiratory system is a vital part of the human body. It is responsible for the taking in and distribution of oxygen in the

TMA 1 Describe the four basic human body structure unit and their functions. The four basic human body structures are cells, tissues, organs and systems. Cells Most cells have some common elements to them. These include the nucleus, cytoplasm and the membrane. The nucleus contains most of the genetic or hereditary information and controls the cells growth and reproduction. It also contains the chromosomes which in turn contain DNA. The cytoplasm makes up the rest of the cell, outside

Animal Diversity Part I Introduction One of the primary goals of the second half of Biol 106 is to understand evolutionary relationships among animals and to gain an appreciation for the diversity of animal form and function. The huge diversity of animals requires us to divide our survey of different animals into a number of labs. Because of time limitations, we will consider only the major groups of animals, but your textbook can provide information about other groups represented by few or little

have worse physical health outcomes, such as pain levels, after surgery (Long et al, 2005). Like all surgeries, the patient will be assed for their ability to tolerate the procedure and anesthesia. Of particular concern is their cardiovascular and respiratory status, and the presence of any comorbidities. The patient should also be evaluated for the presence of any infection, as it could spread to the hip prosthesis. The teaching of postoperative exercise before surgery allows the patient to become familiar

to the body. Collecting oxygen and excreting CO2 is the function of the respiratory system (made up of the lungs and chest cavity). The chest cavity containing with the lungs expands and contracts, inhaling external, oxygen rich air and exhaling CO2 rich air. At the microscopic or molecular level, respiration needs to take place within (almost) every cell, for each cell needs its own supply of energy. So the respiratory system collects the oxygen in the lungs, the cardiovas-cular system (heart
