The lining itself consists of glandular epithelium, connective tissue, and blood vessels. The endometrium has two layers, the basal and inner functional layers. The functional layer, according to the uterine cycle, varies in thickness. It helps form the placenta, supplying the nutrients needed for the development of the embryo. The myometrium is a very thick, muscular, middle layer composed of smooth muscle.
The female reproductive system contains two main parts: the uterus, which hosts the developing foetus. The human female reproductive system is a series of organs primarily located inside of the body and around the waist. Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina, as well as where they are located in the female body near the vagina. The male’s reproductive system is the penis and its male reproductive system is located outside of the man's body. The Fallopian tubes are a pair of long narrow tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus.
The lymph ascends or descends to the left or right lymphatic duct. f. Describe the lymphatic system role with regard to lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins. The lymphatic system supports the lipids and vitamin A,D,E,K from the GI tract blood stream initiates specific immune responses. 3. What are the thymus gland functions?
Which adaptation would have taken place in the pubic symphysis of the female skeleton during the later stages of her pregnancy in preparation for the birthing process. The pubis symphysis would have defined, discrete lesions that occur from the pulling of the cartilage of the pubic symphysis during child birth. 6. What clues could Stefan have used to identify the gender of the pelvis. The female pelvis is wider and shallower than the male’s.
Structure and function of nephrons/kidney tubules “Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney.” The nephron consists of a tubule closed at one end, the other and opening into a collecting tubule. The nephron is made up of a cup shaped capule connected to a coiled tubule, this then carries on into a section which is hairpin-shaped known as the loop of Henle, the next coiled tubule and also a
They are elongated and column shaped. The nuclei are elongated and and usually found towards the base of the cells. They form the lining of the stomach and intestines. They secrete mucus to keep the surface smooth. Ciliated Columnar Epithelium are simple columnar epithelial cells but they have fine, hair like cilia on their free surfaces.
If you guessed the larynx, you would be correct. Not only is the larynx responsible for producing our voice, it also helps us swallow and breathe (Larynx, n.d.). Passing through the larynx, we enter the pharynx. Pharynx is just the medical term for the throat. Who knew that the pharynx is part of the respiratory and the digestive system?

Homeostatic Imbalance/Unit 8 Assignment William Thornbury Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology SC121 Instructor: Eric D. Steelman, DHSc(c), MPH, MS, RLATG 10/17/14 Homeostatic Imbalance The endocrine system helps regulate and maintain various body functions by synthesizing (making) and releasing hormones, chemical messengers. The major areas of control and integration include responses to stress and injury, growth and development, absorption of nutrients, energy metabolism, water and electrolyte balance, reproduction, birth, and lactation. The endocrine system is composed of glands that release their hormones directly into the bloodstream for chemical signaling of target cells. Typically, the body synthesizes hormones in one part and transports it to another through the bloodstream or lymph. Endocrine glands have a rich blood supply through which hormones travel to reach their target organs.
