What is the main function of urinary system?

The urinary system, also known as the renal system, produces, stores and eliminates urine, the fluid waste excreted by the kidneys. The kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from blood. Urine travels from the kidneys through two thin tubes called ureters and fills the bladder.

Indication of therapy and benefits for the nervous system.

Virtually all benefits and systemic physiologic effects of touch and movement therapies are mediated in some way by the nervous system.

The Reproductive System

While male and female structures differ, the general purpose of the reproductive system is the same - to regulate and control the reproductive process. this system is more dependent on the endocrine system the any other body system since hormones regulate sexual maturity, reproductive cycles, pregnancy, and birth.

Is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. One of the important cells involved are white blood cells, also called leukocytes, which come in two basic types that combine to seek out and destroy disease-causing organisms or substances

What is Connective tissue?

Is one of the four types of biological tissue that supports, connects or separates different types of tissues and organs in the body. It develops from the mesoderm. The other three types are epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue. ... (Not all authorities include blood or lymph as connective tissue.)

What is edema ?

Is swelling caused by fluid retention - excess fluid is trapped in the body's tissues. In the UK/Ireland/Australasia and some other countries, the word is spelled oedema. Swelling caused by edema commonly occurs in the hands, arms, ankles, legs and feet. It is usually linked to the venous or lymphatic systems.

The epidermis is the outermost layer of our skin. Its main purpose is protection. The epidermis is made of four main layers, or strata: The stratum corneum is the thick, tough outer layer. It is made mostly of dead cells that slough off constantly.

What is the main function of reproductive system?

The female reproductive system has two functions: The first is to produce egg cells, and the second is to protect and nourish the offspring until birth. The male reproductive system has one function, and it is to produce and deposit sperm.

What is Adhesion?

The force of attraction between unlike molecules, or the attraction between the surfaces of contacting bodies. (cell biology) The binding of a cell to another cell, or a cell to a surface, via specific cell adhesion molecules.

What is the main function of integumentary system?

The integumentary system consists of the skin, hair, nails, glands, and nerves. Its main function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature.

The cardiovascular system.

The primary function of the cardiovas- cular system is to pump blood throughout the body via a complex system of blood vessels. Blood carries oxygen and other nutrients to cells and tissues and transports wastes for excretion. Blood also plays an important role in immune responses and transports hormones secreted by the endocrine glands.

The Digestive System

The process of digestion involves breaking down food into usable nutrients, witch are then absorbed into the blood for transportation to the cells and tissues. the digestive system also eliminates solid waste.

The relaxation and stress reduction effects of manual therapy may improve the efficiency of the digestive system. Reflex and zone therapies cane used to target specific organs and improve overall digestive function.

What is Physiology?

The science that deals with the function of the body and parts.

The Integumentary System

The skin forms the body's protective outer covering, making it a important part of the body defenses. Containing thousands of general sensory organ and also plays a key role in the regulation of body temperature.

The lymphatic system.

This system employs a variety of vital defense mechanisms that create resistance to disease and play a role in healing from injury or illness. It also returns proteins and fluids to the bloodstream, which is essential to maintaining proper fluid balance in the body.

The Urinary System

This system produces, stores, and eliminates urine, a process that helps the body regulate pH and electrolyte balances and plays a major role in regulating fluid volumes.

The Skeletal System

This system provides the structure and framework for the body. This framework protects vital organs, while individuals bones serve as levers used by skeletal muscles to move body parts. Bones are the site of blood cell production, and they store calcium and other important minerals.

The respiratory system

This system regulates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. When air from the external environment enters the lungs, carbon dioxide in the blood passes into the lungs and oxygen in the "new" air moves into the blood. Vocalization (speaking) is a secondary function of this system; the passage of air over the vocal cords results in the vibrations that create voice.

The endocrine system

This system works in conjunction with the nervous system in coordinating and controlling other body systems. It functions at a slower pace than the nervous system to initiate and regulate long-term physiologic processes such as growth and sexual development, and regulates sleep and repro- ductive cycles.
