of energy, the first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, this is the conservation law. The second law states that energy can be transformed from one form to another, this is the transformation law. Energy is need to circulate blood, lymph and tissue fluid throughout the body; it is used for breathing and taking in oxygen; needed for making new cells for carrying out growth and repair; it is needed to transmit nerve impulses so that we can respond to changes in the environment

Melissa Ruiz Biology Review Rasmussen College 10/07/2011 1. Describe the interdependency of structure and function in the human body. Physiology depends on anatomy; anatomy is study of the structures in the body, physiology is the study of the functions of those structures. In other words, without structure there is no function. Physiology depends on anatomy, the operation or function of a structure is dictated by its anatomy. Anatomy and physiology are really inseparable because function

Hemophilia is one of the diseases that are caused by genetics. It is an inherited disease which contains bleeding disorders. The disease is received from mother to son. This is a disease where blood does not clot normally. People who suffer from hemophilia tend to have abnormal and uncontrollable bleeding. There are two types of hemophilia: hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A is resulted from the absence of coagulation factor VII whereas hemophilia B is resulted due to a deficiency of coagulation

The human skeletal system consists of bones, cartilage, and the membranes that line the bones. Each bone is an organ that includes connective tissue (bone, blood, cartilage, adipose tissue, and fibrous connective tissue), nervous tissue, and muscle and epithelial tissues (within the blood vessels). The three main functions of the skeletal system are:-mechanical, support bones provide a framework for the attachment of muscles and other tissues. Movement bones enable body movements by acting as levers

pump blood to the body. With surgery, Doctors implant tubes to both the left and right ventricle of the heart. These tubes are connected to the Berlin Heart and Pump to assist with the flow of blood and oxygen to both the lungs and heart. See below diagram [pic]Figure 1. 1. The deoxygenated blood flows from the body into the right atrium. ( Red Line) 2. Since the right ventricle can not pump blood into the lungs, the blood goes into the Berlin Heart (yellow circle). 3. The blood is pumped

HEMODIALYSIS In hemodialysis (HD), blood is shunted through an artificial kidney (dialyzer) for removal of toxins/excess fluid and then returned to the venous circulation. Hemodialysis is a fast and efficient method for removing urea and other toxic products and correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances but requires permanent arteriovenous access. Procedure is usually performed three times per week for 4 hr. HD may be done in the hospital, outpatient dialysis center, or at home. NURSING
