Principles of Physiology in Health and Social care. Assignment 1 1.1 Discuss with the use of diagrams the main anatomical features of the human body Introduction The human body is like a machine, and like many machines it is made up of many different features and parts. The main anatomical features of the human body include; the cells, skeletal system and muscular system. These systems can relate to/work with other systems within the body. This can include the cardiovascular system working with the digestive system by breaking down food to make the nutrients that are then transported around the body it to function adequately. The Cell The human body is made up of millions of cells. These cells are considered to be the building blocks of …show more content…
Some of these different types of cells are Muscle cells. These muscle cells are for helping movement. There are also nerve cells. These cells are used for carrying messages around the body so that the body is able to react to things such as pain. When cells are grouped together they form what is known as a tissue. Different types of tissue make up different types of organs. The 3 main types of tissue are Muscular, Nerve and Epithelial. The muscular tissue is made up of three forms, they include the skeletal, smooth and cardiac tissues. Skeletal tissue is voluntary which means that it is used in the movements of the skeletal components. The Nerve tissue is a group of cells which react to, many different types of stimuli. They transmit messages throughout the body which can include things such as temperature, pain, and pressure. Epithelial tissue is when cells that form together create the lining of a surface an example of this would be the skin and muscle tissue. The Skeletal System The skeletal system works as the frame of the body and it is made up of two hundred and six various bones. The Sections used in the movements of the skeletal system are; the bones, Joints, ligaments and tendons. This system is also divided into two sections known as the Axial and Appendicular skeleton. The Axial
All cells group together within the body to form tissue, a collection of similar cells group together to perform a specialized function. There are four primary tissue types in the human
Cartilage doesn’t contain any nerves or blood vessels and is surrounded by a layer of dense irregular connective tissue, the perichondrium (Marieb, 176). Bones contain various types of tissues which makes them organs. They are used for support, protection, movement, mineral storage, and blood cell formation (Marieb, 178-179).
4. Organ level- Organs are made up of different types of tissues. Organ is a discrete structure composed of at least two tissue types that performs a specific function for the body.
consists of biological systems, that consist of organs, that consist of tissues, that consist of cells
The body has different organs that work together and they make up a system such as the
Tissues are groups of cells, which are placed together to achieve a common function. There are four main types of tissue: Epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous. Most of these tissues are found in our bodies, however the epithelial tissue is covered all over the surfaces of the body.
Muscle tissue - Muscle cells are the contractive tissue of body that produce force and cause motion within internal organs. Muscle tissue is separated into three different categories: visceral or smooth muscle that are located in the inner linings of organs and skeletal
The first type of tissue found in the human body is epithelial tissue. These types of tissue are found covering the whole surface of the body, lining of cavities, hollow organs and tubes. The cells a very closely packed and are arranged in one
In the human body there are around 200 different types of cells. (Carter, 2013) Most cells are classified as a particular cell with an individual function. For example, there are liver cells, brain
The human muscular system is made up of over 600 connecting muscles. All of the muscles work together in sync to make your body move in inumerable different ways.
The skeletal system is made up of bones and joints. Bones are a dry dense tissue that is composed of calcium phosphorous and organic matter. The bones are protected and covered by a layer of fibrous connective tissue membrane called the periosteum (Brown, et al., 2015, p. 1547). There are two basic types of bone tissue: Compact Bone and Spongy Bone. Compact bones are dense smooth bones, while Spongy bones are composed of small needle-like pieces of bones and open space. Bones are then categorised according to the shape of the bone into four groups: long, short, flat and irregular. Long bones characteristically are typically longer then they are wide and generally have a shaft with heads at either ends e.g. the humerus. They are mainly compact bones. Short bones
The skeletal system includes the osseous tissues of the body and the connective tissues that stabilize or interconnect the individual bones. The bone is a dynamic tissue. Throughout the lifespan, bone adjusts to the physiologic and mechanical demands placed on it by the processes of growth and remodeling.
The body is started by a singular cell called the zygote cell; it contains all the essential factors for human development. The zygote cell subdivides into many smaller cells through the process mitosis. Cells are made up of plasma membrane which encloses organelles. Organelles are small organs which have individual and specialised functions. All cells with the exception of red blood cells have a nucleus, the nucleus is the largest organelle and contains the body’s genetic material. Cells are the body’s smallest functional units, grouped together they form body tissue. There are four main tissues in the body, epithelium
The epithelial tissue covers inner and outer layer/surface of the body, e.g. the stomach, or blood lines, vessels and the lung.
The human body consist of 10 biological systems that perform specific functions for everyday living. The function of the circulatory system is to move nutrients, blood, oxygen, hormones and carbon dioxide. It consists of the heart, blood, blood vessels, arteries and veins. The human body is everything that makes up, well, you.” The basic parts of the human body are the head, neck, torso, arms and legs.” (Rachael Rettner, 2016) Anatomy describes structures, organs, muscles, bones etc. which are visible to the naked eye, that is macroscopic.
