It has been noted that during breeding season, sharks will fast for an extended amount of time, and live off of lipids stored in their livers. Sharks do not necessarily require mating in order to reproduce, this type of reproduction is referred to as “parthenogenesis”. Shark’s senses are highly developed, most particularly their sense of smell which allows them to detect a subtle smell to its exact source. Shark’s sense of sight and hearing, although not quite as developed as their sense of…

Up to 55.5% of students in high schools around the United States play sports, and this number is increasing as the years go by. While this statistic is powerful in itself, most still don’t see the importance of high school sports. High school sports are more beneficial than they are negative for high school students; therefore they should be more encouraged. Why High School Sports Are Beneficial High school sports are a very controversial issue in today’s day and age, but statistics and…

The woman in the body by Emily Martin attempts to find truth about how women perceive themselves and particular life changes as well as how pervasive medical explanations are in our society. The author investigates women’s experience with puberty, childbirth, menstruation, and menopause through interviews with 165 white and black women of different socioeconomic classes and ages. The author also works with medical models. Emily Martin is successful in explaining how cultural assumptions…

oriented to name place and time, breathing spontaneously via an endotracheal tube at 10 L oxygen therapy, equal rise and fall of the chest, crackles heard at the base of her lungs, cough still persistent. She was not cyanotic, no edema was seen, capillary refill within 2 seconds, mucous membrane pink and moist, blood pressure and pulses within normal range. Overall, besides the crackles on auscultation, I did not find any other abnormalities while doing my assessment on J.K. Nevertheless,…

1. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the members of the otariid, phocid, and odobenid families. (3 points) The suborder pinnipedia have a few uniting characteristics and many variations that separate the families. Some uniting morphological characteristics that otariids, phocids and odobenids possess are paddle-like forelimbs and hind limbs, tiny tails, a bullet-like body shape, and blubber. There are also many defining features of each family. To start, the family Otariidae has…

Asthma Asthma has been reported to impact "over 300 million people globally" (Nuff, 2016, p. 68). There are "34 million people diagnosed in the United States" (Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 689). Additionally, over "30% of people with severe asthma are misdiagnosed" (Nuff, 2016, p. 68). Therefore, it is essential to understand how to recognize and differentiate between the pathogenic alterations of acute and chronic asthma to appropriately treat and prevent the progression of this condition.…

working. The heart moves blood through the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste from the cells (Anatomy of the Heart, 2015). The blood is moved away from the heart through arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. It is carried back to the heart by venules and veins. The tricuspid valve controls blood…

Heart failure There are many ways to treat people diagnosed with heart failure: diuretics, nitrates, and change of diet. These treatments have been effective but it is important to explore other options. Many of these treatments achieve a relief in symptoms on patients with heart failures but what if we can treat these patients with fewer side effects or increase their survival rate? Understanding Heart Failure Before exploring some of the latest research it is important to understand what…

Do you like water? Yes? Then you must like 75% of me ;) and if you don’t like water then well, pray that you don’t die because all life is dependent upon water. H2O is the water molecule and is joined by covalent bonds. It is dipolar due to the bonding because the oxygen atom is slightly negatively charged while the hydrogen atoms are slightly positively charged. This polarity of water allows it to bond with other water molecules through hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds are weak but in…

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to discover the respiratory and circulatory systems of three different species: the Starfish, the Bullfrog, and the Perch. All of these species have similarities and differences and is discussed in detail in this research report. In order to determine the respiratory and circulatory systems, a dissection of the three species is needed to obtain data. Determining the systems of these species will help understand how these species work and work together in…
