Adenosine

As exhibited in H.M. and with further research, we have found that the spatial variances are associated with the distinctions between implicit and explicit memory. Implicit memory is the transducing and storing of stimuli that are perceived unconsciously. These memories are also known as learned skills or tasks. Explicit memory is the storage of events and facts (Squire, 1992). Because implicit memory is unconscious and explicit memory is conscious, there are different mechanisms and anatomical…

HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV damages and kills cells that are in the body 's immune system. There are different stages of HIV, but the most advanced stage is AIDS. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. HIV is spread through unprotected sex, sharing needles, and blood contact, all with an infected person. In this paper I will discuss HIV/AIDS in women, also the testing and prevention of the infection for women. Although both men and women can become infected with…

of muscles in the body. The stomach converts food into simple sugar which is carried to the cells in the body. Every cell in a body has a powerhouse called the mitochondria. It breakdowns these simple sugars and creates energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Healthy eating regulates release of hormones and formation of neurotransmitters which serve as a signal to the brain. The release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin improve the mood of a…

because yeast is removed from the experiment. Glycolysis is the chemical which is found to break down glucose to lactic acid. This was a great example of anaerobic which is when there is no oxygen present or required for the process to happen. Adenosine (ATP) is the process that makes energy available for cell activity in the form of a high-energy phosphate compound. During alcoholic fermentation pyruvic acid is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Proteins that consist of amino…

How does caffeine affect plant growth? Caffeine, also known as trimethylxanthine, has the chemical formula C8H10N4O2 (Francis Agyemang and Sylvester Yaw Oppong, 2013). In humans, caffeine acts as a stimulant at low doses by blocking the A2A receptor but acts as a depressant at higher doses by blocking the A1 receptor (Yacoubi and Ledent et al, 2000). In other words, when people drink low doses of caffeine it wakes them up and makes them more alert, on the other hand, higher doses of caffeine has…

1. Auscultation method provides a closer to true value systolic blood pressure (SBP). Despite the existence of a potential auscultatory gap, where an underestimation of SBP can occur, crosschecking with the palpation method can eliminate this potential error. The palpation method as well is also subjected to many sources of error, such as strength of the pulse, location etc., and it requires the cuff to be more deflated, giving a lower systolic pressure reading, making it only a good estimate.…

abilities or Einstein like abilities to solve the most complex problems. It simply puts them at a level playing field as those who do not suffer from ADHD. This misconception is one of the major leading factors that cause many college students to abuse Adderall and use it in nonmedical ways. Nonmedical Use of Adderall: The misconception of Adderall is what causes college students and individuals in general to use Adderall in nonmedical ways either through acquiring false prescriptions or…

Introduction Haemostasis is the ability to stop the flow of blood in an event of external injury or a breach in a reasonably sized vessel within minutes without affecting the rest of blood flow in the body. The haemostasis consists of four main processes vascular response, platelet response, Coagulation and Fibrinolysis. But when haemostasis is not stopped and goes overactive or get activated inappropriately activated can cause thrombosis and few other complications. The first three step in…

significant change to the platelet count that has been established to be 10 µM. Such was confirmed by the flow cytometry that exhibited the highest increment in larger platelets, with increase ranging between 10 and 20 µM of ADP. However, 20 µM could not be used because it would cause excessive aggregation. Platelets contained in population 1 (P1) area are all of the same size as that of the resting platelets and they are assumed not to be activated. Whereas, the platelets in population 2 (P2)…

Hormones and chemicals fluctuate in a 24-hour time making us feel tired or awake at different times of the day. An example of these chemicals is adenosine which increases in amount in our blood during the day. It continues to increase until it reaches its max. When it reaches its max in the blood, we are in need of sleep, but whenever we fall asleep, the adenosine levels drop back to where they started. Another example of these hormones is melatonin. The amount of melatonin in our…
