features of the human body human body is made up of biological systems. That create the composite structure of a human being.
Circulatory system
The system has three sub-systems, heart, lungs and arteries/veins, portal vessels system. To convey oxygen, carbon dioxide, blood, growth body hormones and nutrients around the body.
Aorta largest artey in the body, It takes blood away from the heart to the organs, via the hearts muscular pumping chamber in the left ventricle. This pumps blood into the aorta through the aortic valve. heart consists of four chambers and can be found just behind the breastbone. It is a muscular organ that is at the head of the cardiovascular system. It's main function is to make sure blood gets to the right part of the body depending

The respiratory system systems primary functions is to inhale oxygen into the lungs, exhale carbon dioxide out. nasal cavity main route for oxygen to enter the body. More effective than the mouth which has no protection and does not warm the air. The nose is made of bone cartlidge with a mucus membrane and nostril hairs to filter out any foreign particles like dust.
Pharynx
pharynk sits in the back region of the nasal cavity, The pharynk muscles contain four layers the external, superior, middle and the inferior constrictor muscles. The main function of the pharynk is to determine whether food or air are passing through.
Larynx
larynx houses the voice box and determines the pitch or volume omitted. It joins the pharynk to the trachea and houses ur thyroid. It is joined to the pharynk by the laryngeal inlet.
The trachea
The function of the trachea is it aids respiration. By allowing air to pass to and from the lungs.
It is a hollow, wide tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi of the lungs. These are all in the upper respiratory tract, susceptible to illnesses like colds, flu, and
It also helps provide oxygen to the body. External respirations is when you breathe in through your lungs and carbon dioxide exhaled out. Internal respirations is what you inhales goes from the lungs back to the heart. 4. Describe eight signs and/or symptoms of the respiratory system.
It is also flat and full of muscle. This allows for food to digest before it enters the stomach. While dissecting the respiratory system, I continued to study the trachea, as well as the lungs and bronchi to see how their structure related to their function. . As mentioned above, the trachea is a wide and strong part of the respiratory system. The structure of the trachea is related to the function because it allows for the fetal pig to receive proper air passage through the lungs.
Homeostasis is the body's method of keeping internal stability no matter what external influence disturbs its normal functioning (Anna, 2011). And the respiratory system is one of the systems in the body that helps to maintain homeostasis by maintaining pH and regulating gas exchange. The main function of this system is take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. This system has external respiration and internal respiration. External respiration is a mechanical process that exchange of gases in and out of the body, while internal respiration is the chemical process that breaking down nutrients with oxygen to produce energy.
Heart, lungs and the Rest of You By: Olivia Abel 1.Explain how the blood flows throughout your lungs, heart and the rest of your body. Heart: Your left and right side of your heart work together to pump blood to and throughout your body which is separated by muscular tissue called the septum. In the right side blood enters through two large vein which are the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying poor oxygen blood from the body to the right reticulum. When the left side enters from the pulmonary veins and empties oxygen rich blood from the lungs into the aorta going throughout the body.
The cardiovascular system helps blood circulate through a network of vessels in the body to give single cells oxygen and nutrients. The cardiovascular system in our body consists of the heart and blood vessels which are further more split in to capillaries, arteries and veins. The human heart pumps the blood via the blood vessels and is split in to four sections. The right side of the heart moves poorly oxygenated blood and the left side is responsible for moving highly oxygenated blood. Oxygenated blood that is pumped throughout the body by the arteries which is then supplied to the body tissue as they need to survive.
Larynx: The voicebox of your body. Your vocal chords are enclosed in here. Epiglottis: Door to the windpipe, pauses food and beverage from rolling into the trachea.
The trading of gasses in the middle of air and blood happens cross the dividers of respiratory alveoli. Alveoli are microscopic flimsy walled air sacs that give a colossal surface zone to gas dispersion. The locale of the lungs where gas trade with the blood happens is known as the respiratory zone. The trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles that convey air to the respiratory zone include the leading zone. The thoracic cavity is constrained by the mid-section divider and diaphragm.
The walls of the alveoli actually share a membrane with the capillaries in which oxygen and carbon dioxide move freely between the respiratory system and the bloodstream. Oxygen molecules attach to red blood cells, which travel back to the heart. At the same time, the carbon dioxide molecules in the alveoli are blown out of the body with the next exhalation." (Dugdale, 2012) Ventilation is another fact because if this not happen our body will be full of carbon dioxide and the oxygen will be down. Many times when the people here ventilation they get confused and think that they are talking about respiration that is not correct, is correct say that ventilation is similar to breathing but no to respiration, they are different "Movements of the ribs, rib muscles and diaphragm allow air into and out of the lungs.
What are tonsils? The tonsils are tissue masses that are found at the point where the mouth and throat meet. There is one tonsil on each side of the throat.
The heart is a hollow muscle that is centered in the cardiovascular system and pumps the blood throughout the body. It is characteristic is the cardiac muscle with a small size and many mitochondria. They contain very rare of cell nuclei and intercalated discs that specialized connections of intercellular. This organ is made up of four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. The atriums collect the blood from the pulmonary circulation while the ventricles pump the into the systemic circulation.
The integumentary system is responsible for many things, such as providing an external covering (skin) for our bodies, forming organs (sweat and oil glands), and creating tissues (nerves, connective, muscle, and epithelial). The skin is known as the largest organ of the human body. The integumentary system has numerous functions such as: protecting the body’s internal living tissues and organs, protects against invasion by infectious organisms, protects the body from dehydration, acts as a receptor for touch, pressure, pain, heat, and cold, and many more . This system works with all of the other systems of the body to maintain the internal conditions that a human body needs to function. There are numerous diseases that can afflict the integumentary system, one of them being Albinism.
The muscular system might be the most important system in the whole entire body. This system helps us digest food and keeps our heart and lungs moving. In the body there are two different types of muscles: the voluntary and involuntary. The muscular system helps you move because it helps your joints move which helps your bones bend. All of the major organs in this system are the heart, the lungs, and the digestive tracks.
The heart may have the sinoatrial node (SA node) to trigger contraction, but in order for us to breath our nervous system has to signal for us to begin the process of ventilation (breathing). Our brain stem has three parts to it, but only the pons and medulla oblongata play a key role in breathing. The medulla helps set the respiratory rhythm by receiving and sending impulses to a bundle of neurons called the ventral respiratory group to the phrenic nerve to bring about contraction in the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles. All this only happens though due to the sensors of the chemoreceptors. The chemoreceptors located in the medulla and carotid and aortic bodies detect a rise in carbon dioxide (CO2).
The Skin Structure and Function: The skin is the largest organ. It covers the whole body and is water-resistant. The skin consists of two layers; the Epidermis and Dermis (under which lies the subcutaneous or fatty layer).
The human body is an amazing thing made up of many different parts. These parts are cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. For starters, one type of cell makes up one type of tissue. Next, two or more types of tissues make an organ. Then, a few organs working together make an organ system.
