    of the damaged area, fibroblasts migrating to the injury site forming a slight framework of connective tissues, fibroblast producing collagen – thus providing strength, a new capillary network being established at the injury site and collagen fibres forming scar tissue. During the acute onset the dilatation of capillaries allow fluid to seep out into the surrounding tissues, this reaction causes redness and heat. The excess fluid causes an increase in pressure which subsequently leads to…

    Sprint interval training (SIT) is a subclass of high intensity interval training (HIIT), defined as “4 to 6 repeated bouts of high intensity, short duration (<30 s) sprints followed by a relatively long recovery time (~4min).”1,2 In contrast to SIT, traditional endurance (TE) requires more time and is typically performed at submaximal levels. Past research has shown that SIT typically improves anaerobic performance while TE typically improves aerobic performance.3,4 However, more recently…

    1. Albumin is an important factor in determining the osmotic pressure of the blood. Therefore, an increase in blood albumin would increase the osmotic pressure of the blood and, since water always moves toward the greater osmotic pressure, and cause water to move out of the tissues into the blood. 2. When athletes train at high altitude they are taking in air with less oxygen per volume. These oxygen levels are not high enough to provide the muscles with the necessary energy so to compensate…

    starch (pancreatic amylase), fat (lipase), and protein (trypsin). In the small intestine, starches in the broken down form of glucose and proteins broken down into amino acids are allowed to cross the small intestine’s membrane and enter the blood capillaries, where they will be put to use as energy makers. Digested fats become glycerols and fatty acids that are packaged and sent…

    well. This is known as the Cardiovascular System. It contains not only the heart, but also the blood vessels, blood and much more which will be further explained in greater detail. The venous system takes blood back to the heart. It flows from the capillaries to the veins. The biggest vein in the body is the inferior vena cava. The superior cava carries blood from the upper part of the body to the heart, however the inferior cava carries blood from the lower part. Venous blood is very dark and…

    There are a few ways mechanisms or methods that have been used to explain PAH secretion. One method states that the sodium potassium pump located on the peritubular capillaries creates a gradient of sodium outside, which is used by the sodium/ decarboxylase symporter where 3 Na ion and a DC both come in to the cell. The concertation of decarboxylase in the cell increases, which fuels the Decarboxylase and PAH pump. The…

    of plant. The water must move upward, to reach the leaves which is where photosynthesis happens. The water flows through the xylem which is like a tube through the stem and leaves. To go up the stem the water goes through a process all capillary action. Capillary action lets the water get pulled up the tubes since the water molecules are attracted to the molecules that cover the tube. The water at the top gets sucked up the tube(tube is kind of like the stem) followed by the water at the bottom.…

    was reading temperatures lower than what they actually were leading to our data having lower melting points. The experiment would have had a better outcome if the equipment worked properly as well as having lower amounts of the compounds into the capillary tubes. The procedure was a very good method for finding the purity and melting points of compounds due to the easy at which the melting is noticed as well as being able to control the temperature unlike using a Bunsen burner or a hot…

    except for the involvement of the masseter muscle which has a definite male predominance with ratio of 3 to 1.[5] Hemangioma is histologically classified as capillary (vessels smaller than 140 micrometer in diameter), cavernous (vessels larger than 140 micrometer in diameter) and mixed (consisting of both small and large vessels).[6] Capillary hemangioma usually presents with a short history.[7] They are highly cellular thus explain the solidity and lack of clinical signs to demonstrate its…
