resting value of 2-5ml/min/100g.” (Clifford and Hellsten 2004, p 72) The skin in conjunction to this has a vital role. One of the skins many functions is thermoregulation. Thermoregulation allows the body to maintain a stable body temperature. “The dermis has nerve endings called thermoreceptors that transmit signals to the brain and then the brain sends signals back to the dermal blood vessels.” (Saladin, 2008, p 129) So in terms of exercise, the body heats up. This means the receptors will…

untreated, melanomas will grow very quickly and become life threatening in as little as six weeks because the cancer spreads into vital parts of the body and then becomes harder to treat. This form of cancer can spread to the lower parts of the skin (Dermis), enter the lymphatic system or bloodstream and then spread to other parts of the body for example; lungs. There are numerous risk factors that increase the likelihood of melanoma, including those with fair skin, a high mole count, a pattern…

framework for the developing endothelial and parenchymal cell. It is a t the point that this proliferation and migrations occurs as epidermal skin cells in the top layer move down the sides of the wound to help fill the gap. Fibroblast move in from the dermis, and new blood vessels from to create granulation tissue, which later becomes scar tissue. The next phase of remodeling eventually progresses into the final maturation phase of remodeling eventually progresses into the final maturation…

Stages of pregnancy Weeks 1-3: The female hormone oestrogen will trigger a women’s uterus so it forms a thick blood-rich lining of tissue. The other female hormone progesterone will begin to prepare the uterus so it can support a fertilised egg and accommodate the growing baby over the next few months. During this time, the woman’s ovaries will also ripen the eggs in follicles (sacs filled with fluid). Ovulation This is a part of the menstrual cycle where the woman’s ovaries release an…

According to (Narayan et al,2000), Type 2 diabetes is a very common chronic illness suffered by 2.5 million people in UK. The concerning figures of diabetes are estimated to increase by 42% in industrialised countries and 170% in industrialising countries between 1995 and 2025 (Narayan et al,2000). In this essay I will be discussing about the the relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes, genetic susceptibility towards causing type 2 diabetes and effects of obesity on the functioning of…

Introduction All animals can heal their wounds. However, some animals can even regenerate lost body parts. Questions have arisen such as, how does this process take place? What is necessary for these animals to perform this job? Experiments have shown that different animals regenerate in different ways. Some may be similar than others and it may have an impact on their lives. The purpose of regenerating tissues is to limit damage and loss of infection. The processes of tissue regeneration…
