“In order to understand what the brain does‚ it is first necessary to understand what it is – to know the names and locations of its major parts and how they are connected to one another” (Pinel‚ 2011. p. 51). The five major structures that compose the brain are labeled as myelencephalon‚ metencephalon‚ mesencephalon‚ diencephalon‚ and telencephalon. These major structures are what create the adult forebrain‚ midbrain‚ and the hindbrain. First‚ the myelencephalon is also known as the medulla

healthy and in shape therefore learning more about the muscular system is very interesting. The reproductive system is another wonderful system to study and learn about‚ it is a great part of human life. I find it amazing to learn about the structure and functions of these two body parts and how they actually work together to perform homeostasis. We have so many muscles in our muscular system‚ too many to list. There are three main types of muscles. Cardiac muscles‚ skeletal muscles and smooth muscles

Page 1 of 8 BIOLOGY 12- CELL STRUCTURE & FUNCTION Chapter Notes THE CELL THEORY • Although different living things may be as unlike as a violet and an octopus‚ they are all built in essentially the same way. The most basic similarity is that all living things are composed of one or more cells. This is known as the Cell Theory. • our knowledge of cells is built on work done with microscopes • English scientist Robert Hooke in 1665 first described cells from his observations of cork slices

Describe the structure and function of the skeleton system’s two distinct are – Axial System and Appendicular skeleton. Axial system The axial skeleton is the portion of the human skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of an organism. In the human body‚ it consists of 80 bones and is composed of – 29 bones in the head - (8 cranial and 14 facial bones) and then also 7 associated bones (6 auditory ossicles and the Hyoid Bone) 25 bones of the thorax - (the sternum and 24 ribs)

the DNA in a plant cell is enclosed within the nucleus. The most important distinctive structure of plant cell is the presence of the cell wall outside the cell membrane. It forms the outer lining of the cell. The cell wall mostly constitutes of cellulose and its main function is providing support and rigidity. Plants cells also contain many membrane bound cellular structures. These organelles carry out specific functions necessary for survival and normal operation of the cells. There are a wide range

between the structure and function of four specialised human cells. The human body is made up of trillions of different cells; all play a huge role in the running and function of the body. They are the foundation of all living things. Each different cell has its own exclusive job. Without cells the human body would simply fail. All cells contain organelles which are the structures of the cells itself‚ organelles have individual functions. This essay will investigate the structure and function of four

Human Biology Unit 1 Assignment. A cell is a small membrane enclosed structure filled with an aqueous solution where the organelles are found. Organelles are small structures within cells that perform dedicated functions. All eukaryotic cells have the following organelles: Nucleus‚ Ribosomes‚ Lysosomes‚ Cytoplasm‚ Nucleolus‚ Cell Membrane‚ Mitochondria‚ Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and Golgi Body. Insulin is a protein compound made up of more than one chain of amino acids. Amino acids are the building

The Structure and Function Relationships of Proteins Proteins are a group of organic compounds whose molecules consist of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen and sometimes sulfur atoms. They are condensation polymers of amino acids that are joined by strong peptide bonds. There are 20 different types of amino acids available‚ and the different combinations of these amino acids give it different structures and specific functions to it. Below in this essay‚ will illustrate the how different structure
