Method Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were provided by the instructor for the experiment at Mount Royal University. There were four or more bean plants in each of the four pots. The first task was to choose the best three plants in each pot based on whether they had two big healthy leaves and so the three plants looked relatively similar. The excess plants were cut out so that each of the four pots contained three plants, making a total of twelve plants. Each of the four represented a…

Determining the impact of Auxin in pea plants, and its effect on lateral bud growth Megan Posey Bio 121-104 John Barry 10/23/16 Abstract Auxin is a hormone that helps to regulate bud growth, cell elongation, and many other aspects of plants. Apical dominance is a phenomenon that occurs due to the presence of auxin and stops lateral bud growth. In this experiment, we tested the hypothesis that a group of pea plants without treatment of auxin would have the most lateral bud growth, the 500 ppm…

An eighty-five year old female came in with lower abdominal pain that had persisted for a few days. This patient has a history of hypertension, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyslipidemia, glaucoma, deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis, and is a former smoker that quit 10 years ago. She has not been diagnosed with COPD or any other respiratory problems and had not had any significant surgeries.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs when there is a sudden loss of renal function resulting in the bodies inability to maintain homeostasis. AKI is common in clients who are in the hospital, in intensive care units, and especially in older adults (“Acute Kidney Injury” (AKI), 2017). The following is an evolving case study regarding a client who presented to the emergency department after experiencing nausea, vomiting and diarrhea for the past week. This evolving case study will evaluate the…

The total lung capacity refers to the maximum amount of air a person’s lungs can hold (wisegeek.org, 2014). Breathing occurs in a cyclic manner due to the movements of the chest wall and the lungs. The resulting changes in pressure, causing changes in lung volume and lung capacity (humanphysiology.hubpages.com, 2014). An average human’s lung capacity can hold 4-6 liters, but only ⅓ of your lung capacity is used during normal activity, but this fraction increases during strenuous activity when…

notes that non singer can’t do.But why do they have more air capacity?Well one of those techniques is that they always stretch their lungs by singing.Non-singers for example all they do is talk so they don’t get enough stretch,if they were to do the exercise they’re lung more they would have same air. Both of your lung are located in the body part called chest.Lungs might be the most important thing the mainly function is get oxygen from air to are red cells in the blood.There's different types…

CrossFit is a quickly growing division in the athletic community. Created in 2000, the sport was developed to strengthen the human body while also improving its mobility. All CrossFit workouts are based on the core movements of life. These movements reflect the aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. There are three main different kinds of workouts for both the professional and average crossfitter. Those three are the Endurance, Strength and Speed workouts. A huge factor…

Sargent’s contributions are important to the field of exercise science because they can be useful to everyone. Weak and disabled individuals can use these machines in various types of rehabilitation processes. The machines provide support as compared to using “free weights”. Dr. Sargent started something that…

Previous studies show that music can be used as a motivational tool when people exercise or play sports. Music was also found to give effectto the feelings, self-esteem and confidence of the exercisers and also increase the production of imagery. Music stimulates exercisers to continue exercising while dissociating from the exertive sensations from their body (Karageorghis, 2010). It has also recently been used to augment athletic performance. Music cannot be used in a tournament because music…

Question 1. What interests me the most about Applied Physiology and Kinesiology fitness and wellness is how I can learn to apply what I study to what I do in football at the University of Florida and then later teach others through my experience with football and my education in Physiology and Kinesiology. When I started playing football there was a coach who had a master’s degree in Physical Education, and he taught me how to make the most efficient movements to achieve my role on the team.…
