BIO102 Unit 3: Muscle Assignment 1. Describe the organization of skeletal muscle at the tissue level. Bodies contain numerous skeletal muscle organs, the muscles that move and support our body, are attached to bones at each end by what we call tendons. These tendons are composed of connective tissue, which not only attaches the bone to the muscle, but also wraps around inside the muscle that separates the organ into smaller components. Inside each skeletal muscle fibers are organized into ...

BIO102 Unit 8 The Urinary System Assignment 1 1. Characterize the roles of each of the parts of the urinary system. (Kidneys, nephrons, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra) Kidneys: Excretes unwanted substances, such as cellular metabolic waste, excess salts, toxins, and urea, water balance, pH balance, blood pressure regulation, and regulation of RBC production. Nephrons: A nephron is to the urinary system as the neuron is to the nervous system. There are about 1 Million in each ki...
