Report on Physiology and Essential Life Process_3
INTRODUCTION Physiology is defined as a branch of biology that studies the anatomical functions andmechanisms of living organisms(Calefato, 2004). Human physiology is also known as lifesciences that explains the working of human body at cellular level. The present report outlinesdifferent body mechanisms that are important for maintaining essential life processes. In additionto this it also elaborates different body responses to daily activities in the given scenario. TASK 1There are different body systems which help humans to perform living activities. Theseare outlined in the following points:Nervous SystemNervous system can be defined as a complex system composed of specialized cells calledneurons which are responsible for transmitting signals from one body part to another. Thenervous system has two structural components which are Central Nervous System and PeripheralNervous System. The central nervous system is consist of brain, spinal cord and nerves. On theother hand, Peripheral nervous system is composed of sensory neurons, nerves and ganglia thatare connected to central nervous system and other body organs. The two systems functiontogether to collect information from external and internal sources, process it to command body togenerate proper body responses (Human Body, 2001)Respiratory SystemThe respiratory system is responsible for supplying atmospheric oxygen to body andexpelling carbon dioxide and other gaseous waste. The organs of the system are lungs, nose andtrachea. The air enters from nose and reaches to lungs through trachea(Morris, 2005). Tracheafilters the air and sends it to lungs. Lungs breath in oxygen and is transferred to all body parts.The carbon dioxide and other waste gases are released from body through lungs. 4
