The APPARATUS CIRCULATORIO

The apparatus circulatory functions is responsible for bringing the blood throughout the body. It's format for the heart and blood vessels. The function of the heart is to give blood by blood vessels. Blood is a red liquid flowing through the inside of blood vessels that travel throughout the body. In our body we have five liters of blood. Some of its functions are transporting substanciassustancias throughout the body and protect the body from disease. Composition of blood Blood consists of a liquid called plasma and blood cells floating in the plasma. The plasma is a yellowish liquid formed basically by water. Carries substanciassustancias nutritious and substanciassustancias waste. The blood cells are red blood cells. They are hard and are reddish. They carry oxygen and carbon dioxide .·/*·*/ The white blood cells. They are irregularly shaped and are almost transparent. They fight infections caused by microorganisms such as influenza .·/*·*/ Platelets. They rounded form. They are responsible for the blood to clot when there is a cut to the skin. Blood is a red liquid that flows through our body. It is formatted by the plasma and cells sanguíneas.Los blood vessels Blood vessels are elastic walls ducts where the blood flows. Should three types: arteries, veins and capillaries. The arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick walls. The veins carry blood from different parts of the body it to heart. They have thin walls. The capillary vessels are much until communicate arteries with the veins. In capillaries occurs exchange substanciassustancias between the blood and cells. The heart and blood circulation Your heart is a muscle the measure of fist located between the lungs. Thanks to his movement contraction and dilation, circulates blood by blood vessels. The heart has four chambers: the two above are called atria and the two lower ventricles. The blood comes through the atria, ventricles to pass, and these so forcefully expelled to the outside. In the body there are two different circuits blood, lung and large. The circuit lung, blood goes from the heart to the lungs, and lungs to corazón.A lungs, the blood expels carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen from the air. On the circuit, the blood goes from the heart to different parts of the heart (head, limbs, intestines, kidneys, etc..), And returns to the heart. In the circuit generally provides substanciassustancias nourishing blood and oxygen to the cells. The cells transform these substanciassustancias energy, and generate substanciassustancias waste and carbon dioxide, which drive the blood, which will expel them from the heart. The functioning of the heart The heart pumps blood interrompudamente and high speed. By pumping blood, the heart is contracted and dilates rhythmically. The estate of a contraction and dilation is a heartbeat. In a minute, the heart beats about 70 times, as you can see if you put your hand on his chest. Notes the continued functioning as the heart: The heart is relaxed and vacido blood. Blood enters the atria. The atria contract and push blood to the ventricles. The ventricles contract and expel the blood from the heart. The apparatus circulatory format is `for the heart and blood vessels. The heart pushes blood through the blood vessels that travel throughout the body.

The Breathing

The Digestion

Phases of human digestion

Cephalic phase - This phase occurs before food enters the stomach and involves preparation of the body for eating and digestion. Sight and thought stimulate the cerebral cortex. Taste and smell stimulus is sent to the hypothalamus and medulla oblongata. After this it is routed through the vagus nerve.
Gastric phase - This phase takes 3 to 4 hours. It is stimulated by distention of the stomach and alkaline pH. Distention activates long and myentric reflexes. This activates the release of acetylcholine which stimulates the release of more gastric juices. As protein enters the stomach, it binds to hydrogen ions, which raises the pH of the stomach to an alkaline level. This triggers G cells to release gastrin, which in turn stimulates parietal cells to secrete HCl. HCl release is also triggered by acetylcholine and histamine.
Intestinal phase - This phase has 2 parts, the excitatory and the inhibitory. Partially-digested food fills the duodenum. This triggers intestinal gastrin to be released. Enterogastric reflex inhibits vagal nuclei, activating sympathetic fibers causing the pyloric sphincter to tighten to prevent more food from entering, and inhibits local reflexes.

Aminal Tissues

Animal Tissues

The development of a fertilized egg into a newborn child requires an average of 41 rounds of mitosis (241 = 2.2 x 1012). During this period, the cells produced by mitosis enter different pathways of differentiation; some becoming blood cells, some muscle cells, and so on.

There are more than 100 visibly-distinguishable kinds of differentiated cells in the vertebrate animal. These are organized into tissues; the tissues into organs. Groups of organs make up the various systems - digestive, excretory, etc. - of the body.


The actual number of differentiated cell types is surely much larger than 100.
All lymphocytes, for example, look alike but actually represent a variety of different functional types, e.g.,B cells, T cells of various subsets.
The neurons of the central nervous system must exist in a thousand or more different functional types, each representing the result of a particular pathway of differentiation.

This page will give a brief introduction to the major types of animal tissues. The links along the left side of the figure will take you directly to the individual paragraphs indicated.

1. Epithelial

Epithelial tissue is made of closely-packed cells arranged in flat sheets. Epithelia form the surface of the skin and line the various cavities and tubes of the body. The epithelia that form the inner lining of blood and lymph vessels are called endothelia.

The apical surface of epithelial cells is exposed to the "external environment", the lunen of the organ or the air.
The basolateral surface is exposed to the internal environment (ECF). The entire sheet of epithelial cells is attached to a layer of extracelullar matrix that is called the basement membrane or, better (because it is not a membrane in the biological sense), the basal lamina.

The function of epithelia always reflects the fact that they are boundaries between masses of cells and a cavity or space. Some examples:

The epithelium of the skin protects the underlying tissues from
mechanical damage
ultraviolet light
dehydration
invasion by bacteria

The columnar epithelium of the intestine
secretes digestive enzymes into the intestine;
absorbs the products of digestion from it.
An epithelium also lines our air passages and the alveoli of the lungs. It secretes mucus which keeps it from drying out and traps inhaled dust particles. Most of its cells have cilia on their apical surface that propel the mucus with its load of foreign matter back up to the throat.

2. Muscle

Three kinds of muscle are found in vertebrates:

Skeletal muscle is made of long fibers whose contraction provides the force of locomotion and other voluntary body movements.
Smooth muscle lines the walls of the hollow structures of the body, such as the intestine, urinary bladder, uterus, and blood vessels. Its contraction, which is involuntary, reduces the size of these hollow organs.
The heart is made of cardiac muscle.

3. Connective

The cells of connective tissue are embedded in a great amount of extracellular material. This matrix is secreted by the cells. It consists of protein fibers embedded in an amorphous mixture of protein-polysaccharide ("proteoglycan") molecules.

Supporting connective tissue

Gives strength, support, and protection to the soft parts of the body.

cartilage. Example: the outer ear
bone. The matrix of bone contains collagen fibers and mineral deposits. The most abundant mineral is calcium phosphate, although magnesium, carbonate, and fluoride ions are also present.

Binding connective tissueIt binds body parts together.

Tendons connect muscle to bone. The matrix is principally collagen, and the fibers are all oriented parallel to each other. Tendons are strong but not elastic.

Ligaments attach one bone to another. They contain both collagen and also the protein elastin. Elastin permits ligaments to be stretched.

Fibrous connective tissue

It is distributed throughout the body. It serves as a packing and binding material for most of our organs. Collagen, elastin, and other proteins are found in the matrix.

Fascia is fibrous connective tissue that binds muscle together and binds the skin to the underlying structures.

Adipose tissue is fibrous connective tissue in which the cells have become almost filled with oil. The oil is confined within membrane-bound droplets. The cells of adipose tissue, called adipocytes, secrete several hormones, including leptin and adiponectin.

All forms of connective tissue are derived from cells called fibroblasts , which secrete the extracelullar matrix.

4. Nerve

Nerve tissue is composed of

nerve cells called neurons and
glial cells.

Neurons

Neurons are specialized for the conduction of nerve impulses. A typical neuron consists of

a cell body which contains the nucleus;
a number of short fibers — dendrites — extending from the cell body
a single long fiber, the axon.

The nerve impulse is conducted along the axon.

The tips of axons meet:

other neurons at junctions called synapses

muscles (called neuromuscular junctions)

glands

Glia

Glial cells surround neurons. Once thought to be simply support for neurons (glia = glue), they turn out to serve several important functions.
There are three types:

Schwann cells. These produce the myelin sheath that surrounds many axons in the peripheral nervous system Oligodendrocytes. These produce the myelin sheath that surrounds many axons in the central nervous sistem (brain and spinal cord).
Astrocytes. These — often star-shaped — cells are clustered around synapses and the nodes of Ranvier where they perform a variety of functions:

stimulating the formation of new synapses;
modulating the activity of neurons;
repairing damage;
supplying neurons with materials secured from the blood. (It is primarily the metabolic activity of astrocytes that is being measured in brain imaging by positron-emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

In addition, the central nervous system contains many microglia — mobile cells that respond to damage (e.g., from an infection) by

engulfing cell debris
secreting inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1)

5. Blood

The bone marrow is the source of all the cells of the blood. These include:

red blood cells (RBCs or erythrocytes)
five kinds of white blood cells (WBCs or leukocytes)
platelets (or thrombocytes)

Digestive System

The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), also called the digestive tract, or the alimentary canal, is the system of organs within multicellular animals that takes in food, digests it to extract energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste. The major functions of the GI tract are ingestion, digestion, absorption, and excretion.
The GI tract differs substantially from animal to animal. For instance, some animals have multi-chambered stomachs, while some animals' stomachs contain a single chamber. In a normal human adult male, the GI tract is approximately 6.5 meters (20 feet) long and consists of the upper and lower GI tracts. The tract may also be divided into foregut, midgut, and hindgut, reflecting the embryological origin of each segment of the tract.
