“All for one and one for all...” (Dumas). From Alexandre Dumas’ novel, The Three Musketeers, this encouraging motto signifies collaboration and coaction within a group. However, when instead depending on another exceedingly, one may develop to be vulnerable and lead to crisis, especially in dire circumstances. Furthermore, the importance of a partnership can be beneficial to both partakers and lead to a solution. Clearly exemplified in the short story, “The Birds”, by Daphne du Maurier, it…

1. The hypothalamus is the processing centre that controls the body temperature in the brain, through temperature receptors the skin is able to realize changes to external temperatures which send the information to the brain (hypothalamus). There are also temperature receptors that identify the temperature changes in the blood. The Processing centre triggers for the effectors (these are the sweat glands and muscles) to adapt in order the make sure our body temperature stays at 37°C. If we…

I must try to understand her point of view and reasoning, before killing the idea and moving to the next task. The lowest scoring area for me is Sharpen the Saw. With a total of 6 out of 18, this is quite poor in my view. To do care for my physical health and well being. I have joined a group at work that has a goal of running 500 miles in a year, which is about 42 miles per month. Last year, I did 303 miles. I didn’t make the goal, but probably 200 miles more than I would have made on my own.…

five minutes and after forty-five minutes can be observed, as the ratio of lipids and carbohydrates vary depending on the time of the race. Due to the different energy densities and the body’s varying abilities to oxidise glucose, they dominate over each other at different times during the race as they are the most dominant energy source. Energy is also produced for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), through the catabolism of carbohydrates and…

1. Describe the function of the scrotum in protecting the testes from temperature fluctuations. Scrotum is an external sex organ. The scrotum is a pouch like structure made up of skin. It has 2 main functions. It protects the testis and maintains 2-3oc temperature lower than body temperature, which is very important for spermatogenesis. The scrotum also contains numerous blood vessels and nerves. The cremaster muscle present in the scrotum contracts and pulls scrotum closer to the body whenever…

Sometimes you need something to represent you, say a team. But you don’t have anything. I made a crest to symbolize myself. Three things I but on my Crest are symbols, values, and a motto. So let's start with the symbols on my crest. They are a hook, a key, a bow, and an arrow. The hook means I like to fish a lot. The key means I can open up new paths for myself and choose where I want to go. The bow means I am watchful from afar. The arrow means me watching can’t always be a good thing. Next up…

It has been theorised that some animals help regulate their body temperature by heat loss through the use of a lot of different body parts. As this is true, there are many ways that allow animals have adapted to various new methods of absorbing and emitting heat. Animals living in their desert always have difficulties surviving with a hot climate. In these situations animals are able to use their body parts to their advantage. Mammals with a lot of fur have limited ability to emit heat. They…

Window screen repair is not something that should be put off. Screens provide an important service. They keep bugs, birds, and other wildlife out, while allowing fresh air to come in. Opening windows in spring and summer feels wonderful. Especially, after a long, cold, and snowy winter. One thing that does feel wonderful is insects coming into the home through ripped screens. Mosquitoes will think they hit the jackpot when they find a ripped screen to come through. If you don't want to be a…

The team leader for this experiment was Kyle McClain. Zach Verlander was supposed to be the recorder for this lab, but since he dropped the class I took his place as the recorder for the experiment. Greg was in charge of the backside of the heat exchanger apparatus, while Kyle controlled the front side of the apparatus. Greg monitored the pressure gauge of the steam inlet and measured the steam inlet temperature off of the temperature gauge. Kyle used the thermocouple meter to read the pressure…

How Temperature Affects A Glow Stick Glow sticks come in many shapes, sizes, and vibrant colors and are a quite popular object to take to places such as parties. There is one problem with all glow sticks that everyone has to face and that is having it last for an extensive amount of time. The scientific question being asked in this experiment is, how does temperature affect how long a glow stick stays lit? To solve this problem an experiment to see which temperature of the water a glow stick…
