Basal ganglia

functions, repairs, builds and maintains cells and body tissues, and supports the external activities that enable you to interact with the physical world” (Writer). There are five reasons the body needs energy to survive. The first reason is basal metabolism. Basal metabolism is the smallest amount of energy the body needs to function and stay alive while its at rest (Writer). The next reason energy is important is because of body consumption. This determines the energy that is required between…

Basal Cell Carcinoma is a type of cell in the skin that develops new skin cells as old ones dies or flakes away. Most basal cell carcinomas are believed to be caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunshine. Keeping off the sun and applying sunscreen may help protect against basal cell carcinoma. Squamous Cell Carcinoma is an uncontrolled development of abnormal cells in the squamous cells, which is written from the epidermis. Is mainly caused by ultraviolet (UV)…

Fitness Essay The fitness world is expanding every day. From having a muscle bound body for the men, to a slim and trim curvy look for the ladies, but also having a plump firm rear-end. Everybody is on a continuous battle for achieving their ideal of a perfect body. In order to achieve such a task takes recognition, time, goals, and a strong mind. Just like when we were a children and we wanted to be like the famous actor, or a super model. Even as an adult, in fitness there is still that…

Endothermy has a lot of benefits and costs compared to ectotherms. Endotherms depend on their bodies metabolism to produce enough heat to raise their body temperature. Endotherms balance heat production with heat loss. Each endotherm has a range of environmental temperatures that keeps its body stable and it does this by regulating the heat loss and heat production. They regulate their body heat by vaping their metabolic rate and change its rate of heat loss by adjusting their insulation.…

Each year at least 3.5 million cases of skin cancer are reported and diagnosed and almost 90% is caused of UV light usually from the sun. Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States. Skin cancer has always been a very important for Floridians, due to the fact of sun exposure. The radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancers; this exposure causes anyone likely to get skin cancer. The risk is greater for some than others, such as, people with sensitive, or…

almost every aspect of a person’s life, from what they eat to how long they sleep. To begin a weight loss journey, the first step is to figure out how many calories and what type of calories need to be consumed. To do this, a person can find their basal metabolic rate, or BMR. This is the minimum…

Average Metabolic Rate Difference of Goldfish in Dark vs. Ambient Light Introduction Metabolism is an interesting field of study to better understand what is happening inside of the body of different organisms that keep them alive. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) were used for this experiment since these small animals metabolism can be easily influenced by different variables. This is due to the fact that goldfish are poikilothermic whose internal temperature is influenced by their surroundings.…

Monarch butterflies are bright orange with black and white markings on its wings. Males and females can be differentiated based on observing their hind wings; while males have a black spot at the center of each hind wing, females do not. These wings give males a selective advantage; they are able to attract female mates. Similar to migrating birds, the monarch butterflies use the clear benefit of updrafts of warm air, called “thermals” and glide as they migrate, to preserve the energy required…

Adaptations allow certain animals to live in certain environments/habitats, these adaptations are crucial for the survival of an organism. Group 2 - Insects Insects are able to survive on land or in water. Both land insects and aquatic insects do the same gas exchange process however both have different adaptations that allow them to live in either land or water. A diving beetle and a mayfly are both good examples of how insects have adaptations that allow them to live in the water and be fully…

the abnormal growth of cells within the skin. There is the basal cell carcinoma that starts off in the basal cells, squamous cell carcinoma that forms in the epidermis, and the malignant melanoma which happens when the melanin has become cancerous. Many people around the world have been diagnosed with one of these cancers and has suffered from how it has caused their bodies to change drastically. The basal cell cancer begins in the basal cells because of a rapid production of cells from too…
