Blood glucose is the amount of sugar that is transported through the blood system. The glucose travels to different body cells to be used for energy. It can either be stored in the cells for later use or be used right away. If it is used immediately, the body tries to maintain its sugar homeostasis by breaking down glycogen stores to turn into glucose. However, in some people this process does not work efficiently enough which causes their blood glucose to drop to an abnormal level. Normal blood…

The automatic response of the body is to increase cardiovascular output when activity rate increases; in order to raise oxygen levels in the blood for cell respiration. However, this response is varied depending on the type of activity being undertaken by muscles. A higher intensity exercise such as running causes a larger cardiovascular response however in the increase in mean arterial pressure is small. Whereas a lower intensity exercise causes a low cardiovascular response but the increase in…

Aunt Elizabeth is a Nutritionist at Riley Children's Hospital and she understands the need to eat regularly in timely intervals. Just like I arrived here in my time machine. The time intervals must be exact in order to transport one from time period to the next. Over lunch, Michaelangelo and I discuss the differences of the art we have seen thus far. We both find the 21st century art interesting, enlightening…

Identification of Arrhythmias in Cardiac Patients The identification of cardiac arrhythmias is paramount in hospitalized patients. On a telemetry unit the various arrhythmias are closely monitored and recorded by monitor technicians. Cardiac nurses observe each patient carefully throughout the day and monitor the signs and symptoms that go hand in hand with each of the arrhythmias. On the various telemetry units of Good Samaritan Hospital, patients can often be in critical condition and need…

composed hymns to the moon god Nanna and moon goddess Inanna. The text, but not her music, survive of cuneiform tablets. Around 1800 b.c.e., musicians began to write down what they knew instead of passing it down orally. Their writing described intervals, improvisation, performing techniques, and many other resourceful attributes of music. Amongst the writings are instructions for tuning an instrument that indicated the used of seven-note diatonic scales. They recognized seven scales of this…

11a, lab 1: Motion, Measurement and Statistics In the first lab we will investigate the motion of a ball rolling down an inclined plane. We will use this simple system to investigate the concept of systematic and random measurement uncertainties to understand how much we can trust a measurement. We will then compare the experimental outcome with theory. I. Ball on an inclined plane: Measuring motion We want to measure the motion of a ball that rolls down on an inclined plane…

During the French Revolution, on 17 July 1791, the Champ de Mars in Paris was the site of a massacre, the fusillade du Champ-de-Mars. On that day, the National Constituent Assembly issued a decree that the king, Louis XVI, would remain king under a constitutional monarchy. Later that day, leaders of the republicans in France rallied against this decision. The larger crowd was also more determined than the first. Lafayette again tried to disperse it. In retaliation, the crowd threw stones at the…

Within the skeletal muscle cells, there are many organelles. Each cell contains a plasma membrane called the sarcolemma, covering the outer surface of the cell (Ivy Rose). The sarcolemma protects the muscle cell and allows for its shape to be kept. From the sarcolemma, tunnel-like extensions called transverse tubules pass through the muscle fiber (Ivy Rose). These transverse tubules connect the sarcoplasmic reticulum with the sarcolemma (Graham and Parker 117). The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a…

For those patients, a focused grogram targeting specific muscle groups might be a better approach and it has been shown to be effective in increasing VO2. Additionally, it has been shown that vigorous to maximal aerobic exercise, broken into small intervals has a bigger effect than a continuous moderate intensity exercise. Endurance training combined with strength training would increase VO2 and quality of life. However, benefits and optimal intensity of strength training alone or in combination…

Rise of Free Wage Labor in Latin America The demographic collapse and resettling of Native Americans left land vacant at a time when agricultural producers were in demand in urban areas. Europeans settled on these lands and maintained them. Many of these settlers received composiciones from the crown to give them title to the fertile land they worked. Haciendas, developed in a patchwork of properties developed in the early seventeenth century. Due to the competition for labor…
