populations in depressed ecological zones (Thrasher. 1927). Immigrating youth, especially those from second generation, commonly find it difficult to integrate into the host society because of differences between their cultural backgrounds and the culture of the host society (Vigil, 2008)(source#3 pg.17)” “Gangs are not something new to the social arena. They existed in the fourteenth and fifteenth- century Europe and colonial America. Throughout the twentieth and…
muscles to feel fatigued and soar the next day. Once the acid production stops the muscle start to recover until the acid balance is restored. (citation). Something else that could happen when someone exercises is a change in blood pressure (citation). As the heart beats it pumps blood through many different…
Growing up in the early 1960’s to 1970’s was a tough time for my parents but not just them everybody. This was because of all the negative that was around them. There were many things for kids their age to do, and they took the better route in life. Compared to now, the gang banging is not something that you see a lot of today. Both my parents grew up in this time period and my dad has a different outlook on life. The things that are going in today’s society are from when my father was child. It…
extreme shifts in pH. The blood has a specific type of buffer that is maintained at pH level of 7.4. If the buffers shifts and levels of pH go to 7 or 7.8, it can be deadly. The blood buffer contains carbonic acid which dissociates into bicarbonate acid and hydrogen ions. This equation can also be reversed; it is a chemical equilibrium. If the hydrogen ions rise, bicarbonate accepts the hydrogen ions and the equilibrium shifts left thus making the blood acidic. When the blood becomes acidic,…
Non-ST Segment Elevation Heart Attack A heart attack occurs when a blood vessel on the surface of the heart (coronary artery) is blocked and interrupts blood supply to the heart muscle. This causes that area of the heart muscle to permanently scar. This blockage may be caused by cholesterol buildup (atherosclerotic plaque) within a coronary artery. The plaque cracks which creates a rough surface where blood cells attach, forming a clot. Chest discomfort that happens with exertion and goes away…
One of these being the ventricle of the heart. The ventricle of the heart is the main heart muscle that pumps blood. When HCM occurs the left ventricle within the heart thickens. When the thickening of the ventricle occurs there will be a decreased ventricular chamber volume, and abnormal ventricular relaxation. This deals with the diastolic aspect of the heart. Since the amount of blood pumped and ejected by the heart per minute will be decreased, the heart rate will increase. The heart is…
Heart attacks and strokes are usually acute events and are mainly caused by a blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain. The most common reason for this is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain. Strokes can also be caused by bleeding…
forty-five minutes. Once stitching is completed, clean up can begin. The incision area is cleaned by the Tech with medical grade disinfectant and bandaged. Then shots are administered by the Tech. Any extra services such as ear cleaning, nail clipping, and blood tests are done at this time while the patient is still sedated. After that the breathing tube is removed. It is at this time a reverse sedation shot is administered and the patient is returned to a kennel. It normally takes fifteen to…
System The urinary system is one of the eleven major organ systems of our body. This organ system is one that is often over looked. The urinary system removes toxins from the blood and maintains the acid-base balance of the body. This system regulates the chemical composition, volume, and electrolyte balance of the blood. The urinary system works in with the respiratory, integumentary, and digestive organs to eliminate waste. Reflexology supports and enhances the urinary system by removing…
It has a first line of defense and a second line of defense that have been present since birth. When we call it nonspecific immunity we mean that they don’t necessarily know what type of virus, what type of bacteria, or what type of foreign substance it is. They generally respond to things that are bad. All they know is that they see something that isn’t suppose to belong and they respond to it, but they don’t remember it. The first line of defense includes the physical and chemical barriers…
