Orcas, also known as killer whales are among the most aggressive types of hunter in the ocean. They are the biggest dolphins in existence and are fierce carnivorous predator that can be found around the world, but much commonly in highly productive areas of cold-water upwelling, such as the Pacific Northwest, along northern Norway’s coast in the Atlantic and the tiger latitudes of the Southern Ocean. Killer whales favour cold waters, they can stay submerged for more than 5 minutes and…

The parts of the circulatory system include the heart which is made up of the left and right atria, the left and right ventricle, veins, arteries, capillaries, and blood. The atria take blood in and are small and non-muscular. When the valves open, blood flows into the ventricle. The ventricle pump blood and are thick and muscular. The right side of the heart collects deoxygenated blood from the body…

1. DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM A fast-dissolving drug delivery system, in most cases, is a tablet that dissolves or disintegrates in the oral cavity without the need for water or chewing. Most fast dissolving delivery system films must include substances to mask the taste of the active ingredient. This masked active ingredient is then swallowed by the patient’s saliva along with the soluble and insoluble excipients. Improved patient compliance is a primary benefit of the fast-dissolving drug delivery…

the kidney is working properly in the body. Following filtration is tubular reabsorption which surrounds the tubule during this process, which means the filtrate is reabsorbed from renal tubule to peritubular capillaries. There are three parts of the peritubular capillaries, which are proximal convoluted tubule,…

Chordata is a phylum of the animal kingdom that includes animals possessing notochord, pharyngeal gill slit and dorsal tubular nerve cord. Although the name Chordata is attributed to William Bateson (1885), it was already prevalent around 1880. Phylum Chordata, though not the largest, is the most diverse phylum in the animal kingdom. Chordates are cosmopolitan and are well represented in marine, freshwater as well as terrestrial habitats from the equator to the high northern and southern…

Goodpasture syndrome is classified as an autoimmune disease due to B and T-cell mediated responses that result in the patient’s body to development antibodies against its own normal tissue, specifically the basement membranes of the glomerulus (glomerular basement membranes) and of the lungs (alveolar basement membranes) More specifically, the antibodies are developed against the noncollagenous domain 1 of the alpha 3-chain of type IV collagen). The noncollagenous domain 1 alpha 3 chain of type…

The respiratory system is a vital factor of gas exchange due to its structure. The structure provides an efficiency to the process due gas exchange requiring an efficient system. Gas exchange requires an efficient system because it is a process through which blood circulates around the body, collects oxygen, delivers the oxygen to the organs that require it and releases carbon dioxide. Oxygen enters the body, and carbon dioxide exits the body in opposite the direction. Gas exchange occurs across…

through the right atrioventricular valve (tricuspid valve) and then enters the right ventricle. 3. The blood then passes through the right semilunar valve (pulmonary valve) and enters the lungs right and left lungs. 4. The blood flows through the capillaries which are in close contact with the alveoli so the blood can release carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. 5. From the lungs, the pulmonary vein carries the now oxygenated blood back into the left atrium of the heart. 6. The blood then…

Emily Barbic Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women in the United States. Each year approximately 600,000 people die from these heart related diseases. Cardiovascular disease is something that can be acquired at birth or over a period of time due to genetics or lifestyle. There hundreds of different types of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease can be detected through a series of blood test, blood pressure, or even an electrocardiograph.…

CHF will have issues with cachexia and malnutrition because the body is not digesting properly (Conelius, 2014). Patients will also experience fluid retention and edema because the pressure in the capillaries is greatly increased in both the peripheral and pulmonary circulations. The increase in capillary pressure reflects increased…
