Classification or division of a whole entity into numerous specific groups has long been embraced as a method in which focused attention can be applied to the different areas, with the end result being the smoother function of the entity in general. Dividing organizations, government, studies, written works, and species of plants and animals into specific categories allows for more complete or focused attention to be applied to specifically functioning members within the given macrocosm. The same principle of division and classification can be applied to the human body and its various, specific, functions within a medical setting. It is perhaps the understanding of classification of the human functions that has brought about the concept of classification to be applied to the world around us.
Whether focus is upon a government structure, a company, a military structure or upon the individual human body, specific compartmental functions can be singled out and identified. Although no specific function can truly be described as being greater than another function, the overall entity will not be able to operate smoothly without the specific capabilities exerted by even the seemingly smallest of its divisions. The briefest of trips to a doctor's office will reveal a cosmos within a cosmos that is so complex, various medical specialties have come about in order to treat the individual categories more completely.
The body consists of a number of systems represented by organs. Each system has a specific job, but all systems work together in order to keep the body alive and properly functioning. Systems are...
A system is an organization of varying numbers and types of organs that are arranged in order to perform complex functions for the body (Gardner). Science has divided the major systems composing the human body into categories including skeletal, muscular, endocrine, nervous, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. All systems must function smoothly down to a microscopic, cellular level or the entire body will sense discomfort or fail completely.
Sensing discomfort, a trip to the doctor's office is sometimes in order because in spite of the fact that the human is in possession of a spectacular brain, the human being is not always capable of understanding all of the messages his or her own body is broadcasting. The individual can readily perceive malaise, but the underlying cause sometimes requires outside help before it can be identified.
In the physician's office preliminary tests will be done in order to check the functioning of the individually classified systems. The cardiovascular and respiratory systems are usually the first to be checked, although some savvy physicians actually perform a visual evaluation of the patient, noting first the condition of the skin - which is actually the body's largest organ. Blood or urine samples might be obtained in order to examine cellular functioning and detect possible signs of infection.
The vital role of the cardiovascular system in maintaining smooth function depends upon the continuous flow of blood through the thousands of…

These two laws constituted the real beginning of the end for Jim Crow laws and practices. EMPOWERING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT The civil rights movement may have gained impetus and cooperation among people with differing opinions and goals from what Canady (1998) called the "animating principle," or the principle that got people of differing views and backgrounds working effectively together: the idea that dignity was the right of all men, women
Control of Borrowed Military Equipment The military equipments that may be technical like guns, warships radar and so on need to be maintained in a different process than civil equipment. The military equipment can be defined as material issued by the army or belonging to the army, be it a pencil or a battle tank. The accounting is must because of the allotment factor of resources and also because of
Under these circumstances, an ethical dilemma is born. Should society control its development or leave it to chance? And in the case that it should control it, which categories should it help? If the person in the above mentioned example is helped, we could assume that in a certain way, the person who was not helped because he or she already disposed of the necessary means, the latter one might
52). The researcher handles or controls the items differently. It is a form of Pareto analysis where items such as customers, documents, activities, inventory items, sales territories grouped into three categories namely a, B, and C. In order of their estimated importance. Consequently, 'A' items are very important, 'B' items are important, and 'C' items are marginally important. The organization gives 'A' rating to their best customers since they
Even the lowest-level managers and employees are empowered to make decisions and have that valued democratic voice. ADVANTAGES: An advantage of this form of measurement is that it tends to be more encompassing, since it accounts for all uses of capital. It is susceptible to manipulation by managers with a short-term focus, or by manipulating the hurdle rate used to evaluate divisions. The frequently occurring problem, in concern to a lack
Organizational Structure According to Pugh (1990), the organizational structure is an instrument that appears from the need to fulfill the organizational aims and objectives with the tools and activities that are available. Following the way that this process is managed, several types of organizational structures can be identified, including pre-bureaucratic structures, bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic structures, functional structures, divisional structures and matrix structures. Westinghouse organizational structure falls into several different categories. On one
