Seven organizational approaches There are seven organizational approaches to studying the human body. The Body planes and body directions, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscopic, body systems, and medical specialties. Body plans and directions divide the body into many different sections such as, the front and back, the right and left and the top and bottom. The body direction stands for movement towards and away from the planes. This approach may be used in

features of the human body. Secondly, it will explain how the body systems interact with each other, to ensure the body functions and develops. References of relevant literature will be used throughout the whole essay. Principles of physiology Task 1 List all the systems of the human body and their functions. Explain how body systems interact to ensure proper functioning and growth of the human body. The human body main anatomical features are: * Central Nervous system The central

Explain how the body coordinates its internal activities • Homeostasis • Principle of feedback loops For the human body to function, cells within the body have to work and function correctly. Tissues, cells and organs all have different jobs with very different functions. The cells must have an internal environment which has to be stable to suit them for them. This enables survival for example things necessary are oxygen, nutrients or the removal of waste products. This ensures the human body is healthy

Psychology 220: Brain and Behavior: The brain’s unique behavior Brain and Behavior JoAnn Rissman 08/20/2012 Abstract “Ouch! That’s really hot!” Forcing your brain to speak to your body is one simple example of how the brain is to human behavior. “Ouch! Don’t touch that!” This is what is your brain is registering as you touch a hot surface. Your brain is sending a message to your hand that is touching the extremely hot surface, saying “pull away now”. The brain is a wonderful machine

Heart can push the blood through the circulatory system with great force. In fact push of the heart is the major force that causes circulation of blood throughout human body. Heart is made up of three layers; Pericardium, Myocardium and Endocardium. BLOOD VESSELS:Human beings have a closed type of circulatory system (visit my blog post: Difference between open and closed circulatory systems) in which blood does not come in direct contact with body tissues. Instead the blood flows in restricted pathways

by which body systems maintain and stabilize a relatively constant internal environment. Most homeostatic control systems adjust internal conditions by acting against changes caused by the external environment. The human body works best under certain conditions, our body temperature, blood pressure and water concentration are variables that need to be within specific ranges for us to function properly and if they fall outside of these ranges there can be dangerous consequences. The body uses homeostatic

The four basic human structures are cells, tissues, organs, and systems. The cell is the smallest building block of the body, and is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. They live independently and can reproduce

oggy1962 first attempt 1.1 The four basic human body structures and their units are cells, tissues, organs and systems. Cells – these are the smallest independent unit in the human body and can only be seen with a microscope. There are many different types, shapes and sizes. Each type is specialised and carries out a particular function in the body. The types of cells include epithelial cells (the skin), muscle cells, nerve cells, bone cells and blood cells. Every cell has a nucleus, (except

The seven organizational approaches to studying the human body are body planes and body directions, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscopic to macroscopic, body systems and medical specializes. The body planes and body direction is the division of the body in to sections from front to back, right and left, and top and bottom. These sections are called the midsagittal plane, the coronal plane, and the transverse plane. This approach is used when studying organs and

Approaches to studying the Human Body Approaches to studying the Human Body There are seven approaches one can take to study the human body. Those approaches are • Body planes and body directions • Body cavity • Quadrants and regions • Anatomy and physiology • Microscopic to macroscopic • Body systems • Medical specialties The body planes and the body directions are used when trying to describe the location on the body it can also be called anatomical directions. For example
