Air is taken in via the upper airways (the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx) through the lower airways (trachea, primary bronchi and bronchial tree) and into the small bronchioles and alveoli within the lung tissue.

meaning ‘study’). A biological perspective is relevant to the study of Psychology in three ways: 1. Comparative method: different species of animal can be studied and compared. This can help in the search to understand human behaviour. 2. Physiology: how the nervous system and hormones work, how the brain functions, how changes in structure and/or function can affect behaviour. For example, we could ask how prescribed drugs to treat depression affect behaviour through their interaction with

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 always reflects structure. For example, oxygen and

Anaemia The focus of this assignment is on the public awareness of anaemia. Research on this condition will be carried out and a simplistic, thorough understanding of anaemia will be provided. This will be done through the use of simple terminology along with a survey to assist on the understanding of the public awareness of the condition. Anaemia is a condition where there are lower levels of red blood cells in the body than normal (Natural Therapy Pages.) The most common signs of a person with
