Tissues, Cells and Organs The human body consists of many millions of cells. The cell is the basic structural unit of the body. A typical body cell has the following features; A cell membrane – this acts as a boundary for the cell contents. It also acts as a barrier, allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out. The cell membrane is said to be ‘selectively permeable’. A nucleus – this determines what type of cell it will be, e.g. liver cell, nerve cell, skin

strength and endurance during their twenties and then gradually decline. In later adulthood, a variety of physiological changes may occur, including some degree of atrophy of the brain and a decrease in the rate of neural processes. The respiratory and circulatory systems are less efficient, and changes in the gastrointestinal tract may lead to increased constipation. Bone mass diminishes, especially among women, leading to bone density disorders such as osteoporosis. Muscles become weaker unless

pollutant monitoring, exposure assessment, dosimetry, toxicology, and epidemiology. [pic] Figure:Health Effects caused by Air Pollution Although in humans pollutants can affect the skin, eyes and other body systems, they affect primarily the respiratory system. Air is breathed in through the nose, which acts as the primary filtering system of the body. The small hairs and the warm, humid conditions in the nose effectively remove the larger pollutant particles. The air then passes through the pharynx
