Geometry can be applied to a lot of professions. Physical therapy is just one of the professions that have geometry involved in their job. We all know that geometry would most likely deal with angles. So, in what particular activity does geometry help in being a physical therapist? Some of the physical therapy clinics are retraining runners when their technique causes injury and the main diagnosis always comes down to the geometry of a runner's stride. According to Moncivais (2015), “running is…

and converting stored fats into energy. Ketosis is derived a substance that is formed once you get rid of fats. Since you deprive your body with carbohydrates, it switches to your fats and proteins in turning it into energy. As an effect, your metabolism shifts to accommodate the changes. First stage of initially burning down of fats into energy…

Five hormones regulate tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion. Angiotensin II has three main methods affecting on renal physiology. First, it decreases GFR by causing vasoconstriction of the afferent arterioles. Second, it enhances reabsorption of Na+, CL-, and water in the proximal convoluted tubule by stimulating the activity of Na+/H+ antiporters. Last, it stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone, a hormone that in turn stimulates principal cells in the collecting ducts to…

Cellular respiration is “the catabolic pathways of aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which break down organic molecules and use an electron transport chain for the production of ATP” (Campbell G-6). The chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+energy. During that multi-step process, organic molecules are oxidized and catabolized down to carbon dioxide. The energy that is released during this breakdown is captured by the electron carriers, which is any of various…

Honey is a natural antibacterial remedy. It strengthens the immune systems and speeds up the healing process.Lemon juice contains a very high amount of vitamin C, which also promotes healing and strengthens the immune system. Together these two are excellent at fighting the common cold, but there is speculation that they can do even more. This woman from Australia, Crystal Davis, made a decision to test this theory and started drinking honey-lemon water each day for a whole year. She discovered…

an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants. Oxygen byproducts are relatively non-reactive but some of these can undergo metabolism within the biological system to give rise to these highly reactive oxidants. However, free radicals can chemically interact with cell components such as DNA, protein or lipid and steal their electrons in order to become stabilized. This, in…

The hypothalamus, is found in the brain, all humans and most animals have it. The hypothalamus is important because it helps the body maintain homeostasis and it controls specific hormones. The word homeostasis is separated into two parts, homeo means “the same” and stasis means “not moving” or to “hold,” (An Overview). In terms of body temperature, homeostasis is referring to the maintenance of internal balance. In order to achieve homeostasis for animals, they maintain a relatively constant…

Best Meal Replacement: Shakes for Weight Loss If you are a busy person, then the eating hours are going to alter at least once a day. Whether it is your work or diet, eating habits are paramount for your health. Instead of buying junk food, consider shakes and meal-replacements (MRP), which can enrich your body with all the necessary elements at the size of a cup. Know that shakes are lower in sugar than an average protein bar or an MRP. What are the pros of meal-replacement shakes? They can be…

I am currently reading about the six essential nutrient groups. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water are the six essential nutrients found in food. These six Nutrients are very important in one's diet. Carbohydrates was the first chapter I read this week. In this chapter I learned about the functions of carbohydrates and the primary sources of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins provide energy for the human body but carbohydrates are the main source. Carbs…

Smooth E.R. are a series of interconnected tubes that connect from the nuclear envelope to the golgi apparatus, they send substances to the golgi apparatus, which then package and send them to other areas of the cell. Smooth E.R. also produce and metabolizes lipids, as well as producing steroid hormones, especially in the adrenal cortex and the endocrine glands. Smooth E.R. also play a large role in detoxifying organic chemicals, especially in the liver, converting them into substances that are…
