iv. Increased enzymatic capacities for substrate catabolism v. Higher degree of clustering of subsarcolemmal mitochondria adjacent to capillaries-> higher O2 flux rates vi. Mitochondrial volume densities and surface areas per unit mitochondrial volume are near maximum theoretical limits in hummingbirds and higher than mammals-> achieved due to higher oxygen delivery capacities and substrate catabolism (Suarez et al. 1991) 5. Metabolic Substrate Turnover a. Questions i. Do hummingbirds…

Skin is the largest organ in our body that serves a lot of important functions. Firstly, it acts as a protective barrier against mechanical injury, loss of body fluids, chemicals, particles, microbes and UV radiation. [1] It also provides sensation for touch, temperature, pressure and pain. [1] Besides, it allows mobility by providing a surface for grip. [1] It also has a role in homeostasis of body temperature. [1] Next, it is involved in production of vitamin D, and has an immunity function…

Men do have strong muscle tone, but they have the same strain and stress to veins and various capillaries just like the female. Compression socks for men prove to be one of the better ways to avoid and cure such problems. The compression technology mostly compresses the venial regions in the limb and prevents clotting and imparts a perfect balance between…

“The art of phlebotomy originated with bloodletting in 1400 B.C. and the modern clinical lab emerged in the 1960s – and it has not fundamentally evolved since then.” – Elizabeth Holmes. The reason for phlebotomy is to draw blood for lad tests. One test that is commonly used to determine ones overall health is and detect a range of disorders is a complete blood count (CBC) test. Some examples of disorders are anemia, infection and leukemia. The complete blood count (CBC) test measures multiple…

Integumentary System: Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin The skin covers the entire body surface, making up most of a humans body weight. Skin tissue provides the human body with protection from mechanical, chemical, thermal damage, and bacteria. Along with this, the skin provides insulation while regulating heat and cushioning for tissues and organs. This body system also helps with the prevention of water loss, but also allows excretion of things such as urea, salts, and water. The skin has…

Once this micro-wound is created, the body begins to produce new elastin and collagen to fill these freshly-made channels. In addition, new capillaries begin to form. Following treatment, as the body continues producing collagen and elastin, patients benefit from improved skin hydration and elasticity as well as a reduction in the visibility of scars and wrinkles. Furthermore, the texture of the…

a fracture, they are: 1. The formation of hematoma happens when the wall of a blood vessel wall is damaged and blood went into tissues where it shouldn’t be. 2. Granulation tissue is when fibrous tissue is made by fibroblasts ad infiltrated by capillaries. 3. The callus formation happens when fibrocartilage, soft callus is converted into hard callus of bone in six weeks. 4. Bone remodeling happens when callus is remodeled by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. It happens over six months as spongy bone…

TERMINOLOGY CLINICAL CLARIFICATION 1 • Life-threatening condition characterized by the inability of the pulmonary system to meet the metabolic demands of the body with respect to oxygenation of the blood and systemic organs and/or CO2 elimination • May be accompanied by ventilatory failure 7 • Develops within minutes or hours as opposed to chronic respiratory failure that develops over several days, weeks or years CLASSIFICATION 2, 1 • Classification is mainly based on arterial blood gas (ABG)…

experience of the event and despite the questionability of some of the facts he provides, his work is largely concrete material. A majority of the data and details that Stark incorporated are hugely informative and alluring: “Your exercise-dilated capillaries carry the excess heat of your core to your skin, and your wet clothing dispels it rapidly into the night” (2). With such additions, Stark continues to build on ethos through his use of information from an already credible source. In doing…

Chromatography is a method of separation in which the components of a substance are separated and distributed between two phases, which are the mobile phases and stationary phase (1). There are multiple types of chromatograph, which includes paper chromatography, column chromatograph, retention chromatography, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography etc. Each technique has its own strengths and weaknesses, but all are useful in getting separations of different components (8). Since many…
