Select only ONE of the following environmental stresses: (a) heat, (b) high levels of solar radiation, (c) cold, or (d) high altitude. Discuss specifically how this environmental stress negatively impacts the survival of humans by disturbing homeostasis. (5 pts) Cold climates create stress on the body that disturbs homeostasis by lowering our normal core body temperate range of 97.6 ˚- 99.6˚ to subnormal levels. When our core body temperate declines to 94 ˚, we begin to develop a condition known as hypothermia.…

On Monday, May 22, 1865, a small band of soldiers from the 22nd and 28th Iowa regiments left their camp. The night before, there had been a heavy rainstorm. Their destination was a large peach orchard not far from the rows of white canvas. In previous visits to the orchard, soldiers had discovered a kennel of “bloodhounds,” ferocious animals trained for the pursuit of enslaved people and believed by the soldiers to have been used in the apprehension of Union soldiers who escaped from Confederate prison camps. A man named Butler, the owner of the orchard, had threatened peach-seeking soldiers with the dogs.…
Dear Coach Williams, I have been a year long journey to the Tundra biome. It is very cold here and snows majority of the time. Summers bring wildflowers, but other than that it is mostly snow. This biome is found in the Arctic and has absolutely no trees and it does not get much rain here either. There is a lot of animals here: sheep, mountain goats, birds, grey wolves, polar bears, and very few other species.…

It’s a difficult call for many individuals about whether or not to punish individuals or help them become a better person. While some crimes are inexcusable and lead to life in jail or even the death penalty so can more petty crimes which brings up the case as to whether or not both groups of individuals belong in the same place and if they deserve a chance to be brought back into society. In the Ted Talk by Adam Foss about a prosecutor 's view on the justice system, Foss explains how many individuals can correct themselves and move on to a new path of life. Similarly, Jessica S. Henry explained how the justice system is also flawed and how individuals can be helped and how the process can be improved. The justice system is flawed and that…

In his play Where the Blood Mixes, Kevin Loring illuminates the origins and implications of the legacy of residential schools which remains prevalent in Indigenous communities in the twenty-first century. Loring strives not to diminish the experiences of residential school survivors, but to reconstruct how individuals in the twenty-first century view and represent survivors of residential schools. This goal is achieved through Loring’s depiction of characters that are sad, but loving and funny people with hobbies, people who are not consumed and defined by their residential school experiences but continue to feel its painful influence nonetheless. Loring presents the characters with charming yet heart wrenching humanity to illustrate…
As long as I can remember, population has always categorized individuals by their skin color, beliefs, traditions, etc. In the article “ One Drop of Blood” by Lawrence Wright, it explains that many people usually do not marry their own race and have children that do not have a race. Parents are most likely to be erroneous when it is time to choose or categorize their own children’s race. This happens because parents do not know whether their children are African American or White. Basically, they do not know what race their children belong to since there is not a multiracial race.…

The integumentary system is also responsible for the production of vitamin D which is necessary for regulating calcium levels that allow for bone metabolism, nerve, and muscle function (Vanputte, Regan, & Russo 156). The integumentary system also plays a small part in excretion through the removal of waste products through sweat (Vanputte, Regan, & Russo 156). The integumentary system plays a vital role in thermoregulation, keeping internal body temperature constant despite variable external conditions (Boundless). An increase in body temperature, from exercise, fever, or increased environmental temperature, necessitates that excess heat be lost in order to maintain homeostasis (Vanputte, Regan, & Russo 155).…
Although animals might struggle to live under the two effects above of global warming for now, animal species completely cannot make it through for the rest of their lifetime because animals cannot improve their bodies’ structures to adapt the change in their habitat. For this effect, cold-blooded animals are specific examples; according to the article “Amphibians Don’t Cozy Up to Warmer Climes,” based on the information of researchers at Stony Brook University, warmer environment shortens cold-blooded animals’ duration such as fishes, amphibians, crustaceans, and lizards because the constructions of their bodies are more appropriate for the cold environment (Leonard, page2). While global warming continues to affect animals’ lifespan, everyone can tell extinctions will possibly happen soon for a great number of animal…
