...The integumentary serves to prevent water loss and the excess of water gain, resistance to trauma and infection, responsible to vitamin D syntheses, thermoregulation and sensation. Composed of three layers, the epidermis, dermis and the hypodermis (Saladin , 2015). During the preliminary experiments the researchers detected the change in heart rate and, skin conductivity when asked a series of questions such as counting backwards from 30. The response to numerous questions was steadily increasing the stress response in the subject being tested. The question that the experimental team attempted to observe was whether the difficulty of questions, stimulated a stress response in the subject, by an increase in heart rate, respiration and EDA. The main goal...

...The integumentary system is comprised of cutaneous membrane and accessory structures. Accounting for approximately 16% of the body's total mass, it is the largest and most accessible organ that is constantly providing protection from external elements such as microorganisms, UV and chemical exposure (Martini, Nath & Bartholomew, 2012). The appearance of the skin is due to interdependent biological and physiological factor that are all subject to changes from intrinsic and extrinsic elements of ageing (Draelos & Pugliese, 2011). This essay will address the function and structure of the skin and how they changes with age. The epidermis consists of stratified layers where the majority of cells are keratinocytes which manufacture the protein keratin....

...around us, it is basically us. The human anatomy deals with basically all the parts of humans, dealing with molecules to bones to the way we function, but that can also get misinterpreted for Physiology which is the study of body functions and how the body parts work, which in this case it is something different. Anatomy and Physiology are two concepts that are related to each other, as stated before anatomy is the science of body structures and the relationship among them, while Physiology is the study of body functions and how body parts work together. Now, with all of that being said Anatomy differs from physiology in many ways, the study of anatomy usually focuses on the shape, size, and where they are usually located at. In my perspective anatomy is more like dissection of the body, you can easily cut up the body and with your very own eyes see what the body is, or in more scientific forms using a microscope for a more detailed view. A person can easily see what they are encountering on a body and what system is connected to what. In physiology its rather more vigorous mostly involving different types of properties (chemical, physical or electrical) that make the body function. Beginning from the process of how our heart rate is regulated to more difficult systems involving different visual perceptions. Physiology is usually involved with the work of living organisms or the tissue to understand the whole process; typically to do this you use dissection, medical imaging techniques...

...Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)-Hydroxychloroquine Description: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic auto-immune disease that can affect and/or damage any part of the body. Systemic means that it targets systems of the body (Integumentary, Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Hematologic, Lymphatic, and Immune Systems) Lupus is also a disease of flairs (worsening of symptoms and illness), and remissions (alleviation of symptoms and general good health). In Lupus, there is a deviation in the Immune system, which fights off infections from germs, viruses, and bacteria. Auto-immune means that the Immune system cannot tell the difference between these “foreign” elements and the normal, healthy tissues of the body. Signs and Symptoms: Symptoms...

...responses to the received information” (Linton, 2016) The neuron is the functional unit of the system, and it conducts electrical impulses within the nervous system. The nervous system is separated into 2 parts: central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS includes all the nerves in the peripheral parts of the body, including spinal and cranial nerves. Osteoarthritis does not affect this body system. Osteoarthritis and Digestive System The digestive system consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, gallbladder. Its main function is ingestion, digestion, and absorption of nutrients, salts, and water, and elimination of wastes. People with arthritis frequently develop constipation because they are not as active as they used to be or limit their fluid intake. Osteoarthritis and Circulatory...

...Unit 4 Case Study 2: Skin Cancer Skin cancer is a rather harsh reality for many people that love soaking up the sun, however genetics and gene mutation may be playing a larger role in the development of carcinomas. Almost everyone has experienced a sunburn from staying out at the beach for too long, or not reapplying the appropriate amount of sunscreen. The damage that UVA and UVB rays can do to the integumentary system in a short period of time can cause life changing effects. Genetic mutations are sometimes caused by outside sources such as UVB rays, and other times linked to hereditary factors. In recent studies, direct links have been found between melanoma and specific hereditary genes that they believe are responsible. A gene is mutated when one or more cells change and create an abnormal protein in response to the change. With what I have learned in previous units about DNA replication, once a gene is replicated, it will continue to replicate its adapted form, this is important because this is how the mutated gene is being replicated at a cellular level. The bad cells are now being copied and replicated. The genetic mutations that pose the greatest risk of developing skin cancer are CDK4 and CDKN2A gene mutations. These two mutations effect the tumor suppressor, and stop the cell from performing its normal job. Gene mutations can be germ-line meaning passed from parent to offspring if they are hereditary. Genes can also be mutated by outside sources such a light...

...disease you intend to study? Why did you choose this one? The illness that I have chosen is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [Commonly known as Motor Neurone Disease]. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that spontaneously breaks down the tissues in the nervous system;the causes are unknown. The cells in the Nervous System that help transmit nerve impulses that control voluntary muscle movements are called Motor Neurons. These Motor Neurons spontaneously degenerate which means that the connections from the brain to the muscles are lost . Without the pathways for the nerve impulses to travel down the muscles, the brain loses control of the voluntary muscles. Sufferers of ALS have virtually lost the...

Appropriate or case study provided in this assignment will be used in order to investigate the functionality of body system. Main anatomic feature of the human body will be outline, how body system interact to ensure the body functions and grows will be discussed. The part two of the assignment will look at how the body responds to physical activity and it will also identify how the body coordinated internal activities. This assignment will also look at other human body conditions such as obesity, diabetes and discus as to deal with such conditions in order to ensure the wellbeing of individuals with such conditions. THE human body is composed of ten different systems which are made of organs working in coordination with one another. These organs have to work together as they need each another to fulfil its functions. Human organs support each other’s in order to perform their function. Below is brief descriptions and functions of human body system: 1. Central Nervous System (CNS): CNS is composed of brain, nerves, nerve endings, and spinal cord. It role is to control and coordinate the body functions (coordination of nervous). Will be responsible for sensory input, integration of data and motor output. 2. Cardio vascular system (CVS): is composed of heart, blood, and blood vessels wish includes arteries, veins and capillaries....

...Nutrition and the body system are related closely. There are many systems in the body rely on the diet, there are specific nutrients each human being should have to stay healthy. The digestive system breaks down food and separates it to different nutrients to let other systems in the body to use them. The largest body system is the integumentary system, which is connected to the skin. The skin requires several vitamins from food such as vitamin A, C, and zinc to repair damage like burns or cuts. Moreover, water is an important compound that should be taken a lot; it is responsible for many different functions in the body such as at the urinary system water helps the system to get rid of waste products and in the kidneys. Water is used to filter...

...There are many kinds of pneumonia that range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. In infectious pneumonia, bacteria, viruses, fungi or other organisms attack your lungs, leading to inflammation that makes it hard to breathe. Pneumonia can affect one or both lungs. In the young and healthy, early treatment with antibiotics can cure bacterial pneumonia. The drugs used to fight pneumonia are determined by the germ causing the pneumonia and the judgment of the doctor. It’s best to do everything we can to prevent pneumonia, but if one do get sick, recognizing and treating the disease early offers the best chance for a full recovery. A case with a diagnosis of Pneumonia may catch one’s attention, though the disease is just like an ordinary cough and fever, it can lead to death especially when no intervention or care is done. Since the case is a toddler, an appropriate care has to be done to make the patient’s recovery faster. Treating patients with pneumonia is necessary to prevent its spread to others and make them as another victim of this illness. NURSING PROFILE a. Patient’s Profile Name: R.C.S.B. Age: 1 yr,1 mo.
