Anatomy is “the study of the structure of the body and the physical relationships involved between body systems” (Waugh et al., 2006, pg. 4). Physiology is a subsection of biology that deals with the organs, structures and how it integrates with the human body to create life.
The body is comprised of 10 major anatomical systems and they are: Cardiovascular system, Respiratory system, Digestive system, Nervous system, Urinary system, Immune system, Endocrine system, Reproductive system, Integumentary system and musculoskeletal system (Sciencing, 2017).
The Cardiovascular or Circular system is located in the chest cavity and made up of the heart, arteries, veins, blood vessels (capillaries), four chambers of the heart (right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle) and three layers of heart (epicardium/ pericardium, myocardium and endocardium).The function of the heart is to ensure a steady flow of blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the cells. The heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs by the pulmonary vein to be oxygenated with the aid of the aorta and distribute the blood to the entire body (Abrahams, 2017).
The Respiratory system is comprised of the upper respiratory tract (nose, nasal cavity, pharynx or throat) and the lower respiratory tract (larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and alveoli). It functions by exchanging oxygenated blood from the lungs called inhalation and deoxygenated blood from the cells called
Task2: The main tissue types of the body and the role these play in two named organs of the body.
It is divided into four sections, three of which are under the ‘external respiration’. These are breathing, gaseous exchange and blood transport. The respiratory system is the internal of tissue respiration carried out inside the body cells.
There are many kinds of body systems, working together to create a functioning body. Different body systems work with certain body systems, but all work together. Like, nervous system and muscular system, circulatory system and respiratory system, and so on.

Our cardiovascular system is composed of the heart and blood vessels. The main purpose of this system is to transport substances throughout the body. Even though transportation is the main function of the cardiovascular system, it is not the only function. Along with transportation we have protection and regulation.
The respiratory system consists of the nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. These provide a passageway to allow air in and out of the body. Every cell in the body requires oxygen to survive.
Composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, the cardiovascular system is the body system that carries out the tasks of pumping and transporting blood, oxygen, nutrients, and waste products, and other substances throughout the body.
Respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. These are the main systems within the body and are made up of individual organs that then work together. For instance, the respiratory system is made of the nose, lungs, heart and this lets us breathe.

There are several body systems, for example the digestive system, the respiratory system and cardiovascular system. I am going to look at the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. They are important because they help people grow, reproduce and maintain life. The body system needs energy for it to function. Our body gets energy from digesting food and using it in the respiration process.
The Respiratory system is an integrated system of organs involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment. Your Respiratory system is made up of the organs in your body that help you breathe. The Respiratory system is the system of the body that deals with breathing. The trachea is a wind pipe. The trachea is a pipe shaped by rings of cartillage. A Bronchi are two tubes that carry air into the lungs. The Respiratory system consistes of many different organs. The organs are the lungs, trachea, bronchi, alveoli, diaphragm, nose, mouth, and pharynx. In the Respiratory system the right lung is larger and has more lobes that the left lung becuase the heart is normally located on the left side, and takes up space where the lung would had been. The functions of the Respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The Respiratory system is also used for the of exchange gases. The importance of the Respiratory system is that it allows for the exchange of gases; meaning carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gas exchanges occur in the alveoli's and the capillaries. This gas exchange of gases is the Respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood. The goal of breathing is to
Anatomy and physiology are the study of the human body and the body’s functions. Anatomy became known as a distinctive division of medical science 500 years BC (Tsafrir & Ohry, 2001).
All the systems in the human body are vital to our survival and well-being. If you take away the functions of just one of these systems our whole body will cease to work properly. The main systems of the human body are the nervous, endocrine respiratory, circulatory, immune, digestive, excretory, skeletal, muscular, and the reproductive systems. They all work together in harmony and unison to keep us alive.
The respiratory system is made up of two different parts, the upper respiratory tract which includes the nose, mouth and the beginning on the trachea. This is the part that is in charge of taking in the air and letting it back out again, and then the lower respiratory tract which is made up of the trachea and the lungs.
