Breathing air in and out is the first step to the respiration process. Respiration is a series of metabolic reactions and processes that take place within the cells of organisms. The organisms store biochemical energy within adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. For the process to being, we must first draw air into our lungs. The lungs muscles contract and expand the chest cavity, causing a negative or hypotonic pressure within the pleural cavity. The hypotonic pressure then forces the lungs…

Humans and other mammals have a Diving Response, which can be also known as ‘The Mammalian Dive Response/Reflex. The Diving reflex consists of set of reflexes that are activated when our face is cooled or if we hold our breath. This is a clever psychological mechanism because it enables our bodies to manage and to tolerate a lower level of oxygen in an environment that we do not normally face every day. There are three main changes that occur in our body when our Dive reflex triggers;…

vary depending on the severity and cause of the condition. If heart block in the patient is found to be caused by some type of medication it may go away if the medication is stopped or the dose is lowered. "If a pregnant woman has an autoimmune disease, such as lupus, her fetus is at risk for heart block. If heart block is detected in a fetus, the mother might be given medicine to reduce the fetus' risk of developing serious heart block" (Nihgov, 2016). With bundle…

In general, pediatric epilepsy consists of transient cardiac events. Adult seizures, particularly those with underlying cardiovascular conditions, pose risk to the cardiovascular system, including cardiac ischemia. Respiratory changes are possible across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. Cardiac function seems to be dependent upon the type of seizure occurring. The majority of complex partial, tonic-clonic and temporal lobe seizures are associated with increased heart rate. This…

Anemia ICD-9 CM is a code assigned for blood loss anemia. Anemia is a condition where there is a reduction in number of circulating red blood cells. The amount of hemoglobin, or the volume of packed red cells causes a decrease in the ability of blood to deliver oxygen to the body tissues and organs. Blood loss anemia can be classified into two categories which are acute and chronic types of blood loss anemia under these two categories we have various minute categories respectively. Acute Blood…

Abstract: Our experiment tests how body positions and body movements affect heart rate. We used 4 different subjects and 3 different trials including our control. For our hypothesis, we theorized that the more movements that a person does, the higher their heart rate will be. After doing this experiment, we found that the more movements and exercises your body does, the more increased your heart rate will become. There could be possible sources of error like any experiments, so this data is the…

as the sixth most common cause of death (13). When someone has the disease and coughs or sneezes, germs then spread through the air(13). The infection can happen by breathing organelles that causes the disease (13). Some symptoms that appear on most of the patients who has the disease are cold, fever, coughing with sputum (sometimes with blood) and shortness in breathing (13). To diagnose Pneumonia, doctor might suspect the disease when he or she checks the patient chest by stethoscope (13).…

Imagine you’re out to lunch with a couple of friends from work when your stomach starts to cramp. Oh no, not now, you start to think. You start looking around the room looking for the closest bathroom. You politely excuse yourself from the table and sprint to the bathroom only to find a line. You’re sweating because of the pain, nauseous, and anxious you’re going to have an accident right here in front of everyone. This is how it can feel for someone suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. The…

mechanical assist device that that will benefit patients with a life-threating illness such as cardiogenic shock, cardiac defects, and unstable angina (Darovic, 2002). The IABP will reduce the resistance to the left ventricular ejection and improve coronary perfusion as well as systemic blood flow (Darovic, 2002). During diastole, the balloon inflates to increase diastolic pressure higher than systole pressure while displacing blood volume equivalent to its inflation volume (Darovic, 2002). IABP…
