Major cavities of the body and their organs:

Our body is made up of solid structures and many cavities. The organs are packed in these cavities and they fill these cavities. The major cavities in our body are: the ventral cavity, which is surrounded by the rib cage and the abdominal musculature and dorsal cavity, which is surrounded by the bones of the skull and vertebral column.

Significance and Process of Protein synthesis:

The genetic material of life is DNA. It is present in all the organisms on the earth and it has genetic information, which the organism uses for producing the protein essential for life. The DNA, whether it is in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, it is in the iconic form of the double helix, and it uses the same common genetic code that permits it to be converted to proteins. The procedure of forming proteins from DNA, which…...

However, all muscles are ultimately controlled by the central nervous system. Because the muscles are attached to the skeleton, all skeletal movements can be traced back to the central nervous system. The integumentary system is one of the body's primary interfaces with the outside world. Together with the sensory system, the integumentary system interact with the central nervous system by communicating its inputs.
3. Homeostasis is the body's state of equilibrium, achieved via self-regulation. A state of homeostasis is best described as feeling "normal," when the organism is not cold, tired, hungry, frightened, or sick with disease. All the organ systems are implicated in the creation and maintenance of homeostasis. Each organ system specializes in some aspect of the body's ability to create and maintain homeostasis.

External forces such as viruses, bacteria, or sensory stimulation may upset the body's homeostasis. Thoughts and psychological processes can also affect homeostasis, which is why…...

Even though the heart works harder, blockages still shortchange the needed blood supply to all areas of the body. Kidney disorders, which leave extra fluids, sodium, and toxins in the body, obesity, diabetes, birth control pills, pregnancy, smoking, excess alcohol, stress, and thyroid and adrenal gland problems can also cause and exacerbate a high blood pressure condition.
Proper ranges of cholesterol are also important in the prevention of heart attack or stroke. Total blood cholesterol above 200 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol above 130 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol below 35 mg/dl; and lipoprotein (a) level greater than 30 mg/dl are indicators of problematic cholesterol. Cholesterol is not actually a damage mechanism but is more an indicator of compromised liver function, and increased risk of heart attack.

Anatomy & Physiology 101
The Peripheral Nervous System

It is difficult to decide the importance of one set of senses over another, because consequentially, each of the senses enables the working of another or two of the senses. Seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling, and tasting are all somehow connected to each other; without one of the five, a particular system also becomes lacking in the sense department. That said, because of the importance in the olfactory nerves, the sense of smell is perhaps the most necessary of the senses. Without smell, a number of the other senses become lacking. Smell enables one's taste buds to taste the bitterness, sweetness, saltiness, and sourness of a particular food. Smell also acts as a warning sign for many different reasons; for instance, one can clearly determine the safety of an environment by smelling the air and looking for any traces of explosive gases around them.

Night time implies very low levels of light and therefore darkness. In this period, the human eye relies fully on the rod physiology so it no longer searches for color and alters our interpretation of the external environment by reducing levels of detail. Some scientists have estimated that our visual acuity during scotopia is around a scale of 20/200. Modern inventions of artificial light have helped man speed the recovery process from night to day vision. We can be fully reliant on our cones for example in less than five minutes by most estimates. The reverse has been estimated at around seven minutes with complete scotopic vision requiring around thirty minutes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this report was about the human sensory system and perception function of vision. The report delved into the physical anatomy of specific areas of the vision function as well as the importance of light and brain interpretation in…...

Sickle cell anemia is defined as being a severe form of the illness anemia, where not enough healthy red blood cells are present to carry the necessary oxygen to the rest of the body (Hwang & Shaparin 2003). ed blood cells in individuals with sickle cell anemia will be rigid and moon-shaped, unlike normal red blood cells that are smooth and round. Because of the shape of the red blood cells with sickle cell anemia, they become sticky and slow or block the flow of blood which ceases the amount of oxygen that can even go to the rest of the body (Bjorklund 2010).

Getting diagnosed with sickle cell anemia can happen as young as right after birth, or even before a baby is born (Peterson 2009; Bloom 1995). In order for this to occur, the fluid surrounding the amniotic sac is tested to watch out for the presences…...

Discussion

Taking into account the physiological functioning of these bacteria on the human sensory and muscles muscle system it becomes clear that that this can be a serious threat to human health and, as discussed above, this disease can lead to death. Modern medicine has however created an antidote to the effects of this disease. Tetanus can be prevented by vaccination with tetanus toxoid ((Xy-Za et al.). However a booster for this vaccination is required every ten years after the first or primary vaccination (Xy-Za et al.).

In terms of healthcare and pretention it is also noted in many studies that this disease thrives when a wound is not properly cared for and treated. As one study emphasizes "Contaminated wounds are the site where tetanus bacteria multiply. Deep wounds or those with distallized tissue are particularly prone to tetanus infection"…...

We are investigating the lower lobe of the right lung. This part of the lung is generally free from bacteria and that is the case here; our human is healthy. Nonspecific immunity refers to the mechanisms the body uses collaboratively with other systems. In the lower lobe, the spongy outside provides a physical barrier to the entry of bacterium. Inside, the lungs are made up of epithelium, cells that line cavities and surfaces of structures throughout the body. The honeycombed formation of epithelium gives the inside of the lungs much more surface area than on the outside.

According to Science News (2009), it is not uncommon for people to die from lung complications of a disease rather than the disease itself. Epithelial cells in the airway signal the immune system when…...

Scarring or adhesions can make one of the other types of tubal ligation more complicated and risky. Laparoscopy is generally done with a general anesthetic. Laparotomy or mini-laparotomy can be done using general anesthesia or a regional anesthetic, also known as an epidural. Undoing a tubal ligation is possible, but it is not highly successful. This is why tubal ligation is measured a permanent method of birth control, and not something that should be entered into lightly (Tubal Ligation and Tubal Implants, 2012).
After this procedure one normally goes home the sake day. Some women may need to stay in the hospital overnight. There will be some tenderness and pain.

Anatomy of Organizational Design (Kimberly, 1984) the author convincingly shows how the disciplines inherent and supporting organizational design frameworks must be inclusive of factors which have in the past been left out of its constructs and frameworks in the past. The author first defines progress in organizational design as the continual questioning of long-held structural components of an organization as being relevant for its future (Kimberly, 1984). Instead of merely illuminating how quickly frameworks can become outmoded and useless in a rapidly changing organizational climate however the author uses a series of metrics and frameworks to explain why the trajectory of change must be so closely monitored. In doing this he evokes many of the classical concepts of organizational design change management theory (Hax, Majluf, 1981). These are highly effective for making this point that ignoring the trajectory of change in an organization's structure often leads to its value…...

Anatomy and Physiology of the Thyroid Gland
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland found in the neck, and it controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones that are in play within the context of the body's intricacies. The gland itself is butterfly-shaped and sits on the trachea, in the anterior neck (Ayoub, Christie, Duggon, and Herndon 725). It is comprised of two lobes connected in the middle by an isthmus, and on the inside contains many hollow follicles, whole epithelial cell walls surround a central cavity filled with a thick, gelatinous material called colloid (Anraku, Nakao, Ono, and Yamamura 319). Located just below the area of the body commonly referred to as the "Adams Apple" or larynx, the thyroid actually originates in the back of the tongue when a body is still in utero and makes its way…...

Henry Gray Anatomist Author Gray's Anatomy
Henry Gray is an English anatomist most notably recognized for the fact that he brought great contribution to anatomy and made it possible for people to understand its importance. Anatomists in the contemporary society are still likely to appreciate his writings and his perspective in regard to anatomy as a whole. His most notable manuscript, the "Anatomy of the Human Body" provided several generations of medicine and anatomy students with important information that assisted them in getting a better understanding of the human body. The book has also been especially helpful for artists that were concentrated on representing the human body as true as possible, given that its illustrations were particularly realistic (Gray learnt anatomy primarily through studying bodies).

The anatomist lived for most of his life in London, in his family's home. The fact that his father worked for the Royal family made it possible…...
