Obesity is the condition of being exceedingly fat or overweight. It is determined by a person’s body mass index (BMI) percentile. BMI is defined as the subject's weight divided by their height in inches squared and is then calculated. Obesity increases an individual’s chances of many health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, strokes, and countless more medical problems (Staff, 2015). Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and…
a) What are your thoughts? Do you think that discrimination against the obese is the “last acceptable prejudice?” Why or why not? Throughout this world, we can see that obesity has formed into many lifestyles. Some individuals have let themselves become this way from stress and depression. However, many people discriminate against obese individuals because they believe they just do not want to help themselves. Obesity has caused many health issues, which can cause them to have a heart attack.…
ATryn is used in patients who have congenital antithrombin deficiency (inherited low levels of the protein antithrombin). Antithrombin is a glycoprotein produced by the liver and consists of 432 amino acids that inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation system. It is used when the patients are having surgery, to prevent problems due to the formation of blood clots in the vessels. In the body, antithrombin blocks thrombin, a substance that plays a central role in the process of blood…
axons. What is the cell body responsible for? The cell body is responsible for producing proteins; the cell body also carries organelles including the nucleus and mitochondria of every neuron. There are billions of neurons found in the nervous tissue, these neurons vary in size and are sensitive…
P2 Task two Tissues The tissues are structures formed by a group of billion of cells with a similar structure. A group of cells together form tissues, tissues from organs and organs are form system organs. There are four different types of basic animal tissue: 1) Epithelial Tissue: This tissue is formed of one or a few layers of cells adhere to a basement membrane. it is found in internal and external organs surfaces. It is divides into: a) Squamous Epithelium - Squamous Simple Epithelium: the…
Critically review the Evidence of Clinical Effectiveness of Therapeutic Ultrasound for the Treatment of Soft Tissue Injuries Introduction: Electrotherapy is used by practitioners to assist in pain reduction and to accelerate the healing process via an increase in energy: electrical, sound, light, magnetic, temperature (Physioworks, 2015). The treatment modalities that come under the umbrella of electrotherapy are as follows: Ultrasound, Laser, Transcutaneous Electrical nerve stimulation…
In a human body, there are four core classifications of tissues, which are epithelial tissue (plural form epithelium), connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue. And each of these tissues has its own unique function in our body that makes us a perfect complement function organism. In the beginning, the simplest structural elements or atoms such as calcium (Ca +2) or sodium (Na +1) involve in the basic unit of living matter. These matters combine to form other matters like the fusion…
Tissues are a group of cells with a common structure and function. There are four main tissues in the body. Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue are the four main types that make up the human body. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities, hollow organs, and ducts. It covers the body surfaces and forms glands. Connective tissue binds organs together, stores energy reserves as fat, and provides immunity. It protects and supports the body and its organs. Muscular tissue generates the…
types of tissue represented in the chicken lab dissection were connective, muscular, and epithelial tissue. Each of these three tissue are related and serve the body to allow it to function. Both the epithelial and connective tissues provide protection. Epithelial tissues protect exposed and internal surfaces, while connective tissue protects internal organs. Connective and muscular tissue both transport fluids and essential substances throughout the body. Separately, epithelium tissue controls…
specific types of tissues and organs. Without cell differentiation, no organism would be able to survive as cell differentiation is very vital for any living creature as it’s needed to make unique cells…
