Human body

"Physiologies" redirects here. For other uses, see Physiology. The study of the human body involves anatomy and physiology. The human body can show anatomical non-pathological anomalies known as variations which need to be able to be recognised. Structure[edit] The human body has several body cavities the largest of which is the abdominopelvic cavity. Composition[edit] The main elements that compose the human body are shown from most abundant to least abundant. The average adult body contains between 5 and 5½ litres of blood and approximately 10 litres of interstitial fluid. The composition of the human body can be referred to in terms of its water content, elements content, tissue types or material types. The vast majority of cells in the human body are not human at all; rather they are of bacteria, archaea, and methanogens such as Methanobrevibacter smithii. The proportions of the elements of the body can be referred to in terms of the main elements, minor ones and trace elements.

Body proportions While there is significant variation in anatomical proportions between people, there are many references to body proportions that are intended to be canonical, either in art, measurement, or medicine. Similarly, in art, body proportions are the study of relation of human or animal body parts to each other and to the whole. These ratios are used in veristic depictions of the figure, and also become part of an aesthetic canon within a culture. Basics of human proportions[edit] Human proportions marked out in an illustration from a 20th century anatomy text-book. Different proportions in different people. It is important in figure drawing to draw the human figure in proportion. The proportions used in figure drawing are:[citation needed] Western ideal[edit] Leg-to-body ratio[edit] Another study using British and American participants, found "mid-ranging" leg-to-body ratios to be most ideal.[8] Muscle men and thin women[edit] Japanese ideal[edit] Leonardo da Vinci[edit] Additional images[edit]

Critical Friends Group professional learning communities consist of approximately 8-12 educators who come together voluntarily at least once a month for about 2 hours. Group members are committed to improving their practice through collaborative learning. How did the idea of CFGTM communities develop? Create a particular variety of professional learning community Make teaching practice explicit and public by "talking about teaching" Help people involved in schools to work collaboratively in democratic, reflective communities (Bambino) Establish a foundation for sustained professional development based on a spirit of inquiry (Silva) Provide a context to understand our work with students, our relationships with peers, and our thoughts, assumptions, and beliefs about teaching and learning Help educators help each other turn theories into practice and standards into actual student learning Improve teaching and learning

Female Skeleton Anatomy Male Skeleton Anatomy Unique Bodies Tutorial Images Of Female Athletes The images below show an incredible variety of women, ranging in weight, height, race and proportion. What they all have in common is that they are professional athletes at their physical peak. The images, taken by photographer Howard Schatz for his 2002 book, Athlete, recently resurfaced, reminding us of the diversity of women's bodies. Schatz interviewed and photographed hundreds of athletes for the book, a project he says was inspired by his interest in human variation and the musculoskeletal system. "I was also interested in passion," he told the Huffington Post in a phone interview. During his interviews, Schatz noted very little difference between how the male and female athletes approached their sport. The only gender difference apparent to Schatz was how the athletes approached the issue of having children. Throughout the project, Schatz says he remained in awe of his subjects.
