the body. The Meridians can be categorized into two groups, namely Yin and Yang group. The former meridians of the arm are lung, heart and heart, while that of the leg are spleen, kidney and liver. The latter meridians of the arm are large intestine, small intestine and triple Burner, while Yang meridians of the leg includes stomach, bladder and gall bladder. As Yang Qi and Yin Qi flows along the Yang meridians and Yin meridians respectively in different directions, and as Qi passes through…

Protein and Carbohydrate in Bodybuilding Part 3Carbohydrate Requirements There are two main groups of carbohydrate foods: Starchy Foods Starchy carbohydrate foods are broken down more slowly into glucose than sugary foods, so there is a more gradual absorption into the blood. Examples of starchy foods are bread, breakfast cereals, potatoes, pasta, noodles, rice and biscuits. Starchy carbohydrate foods can be subdivided into high fibre and lower fibre ones. The high fibre ones, like wholemeal…

Prussian blue is used to treat thallium and radiocesium poisoning by combining the two in the intestines and stops them from being re-absorbed into the body. Overview Prussian blue treats patients with thallium or radiocesium poisoning by binding the two isotopes in the gastrointestinal tract and the combination removes the poison from the body through the patient’s stools. With the removal of thallium or radiocesium through the stool, the harm to the patient’s tissues and organs remain…

urology residency program. The residency program takes at least 5 years and must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Urology is considered a surgery subspecialty where practitioners are required to do a large number of surgical procedures if needed. Because of this, one year of the 5-year residency program is spent on general surgery and 3 years are dedicated to urology. After completing graduate education, surgeons…

enlisted him for one more voyage, against Spanish possessions in the West Indies in early 1596. The expedition proved to be a dismal failure: Spain fended off the English attacks. He died in late January 1596 from dysentery, an infection of the intestines that causes diarrhea with the presence of blood and/or…

microorganisms in a given ecosystem to promote health and balance in the ecosystem. The intestinal microbiota is the population of living microorganisms in the digestive tract. A large part of scientists work deciphering the genome of the microbiota. Today, modern techniques of study of the microbiota have given us a knowledge of a large number of bacteria that are not cultivable, and as such microorganisms that inhabit us, relate homeostasis. The microbiota is essential for proper body growth,…

contains a higher percentage of bacteria-killing chemicals. Theory: E.Coli is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that commonly inhabits the lower intestines of warm blooded animals. E.Coli is important in the body because it helps synthesize vitamin K, which is vital to blood clotting, and prevents the colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines. E.Coli reproduces using binary fission, a process that creates two identical daughter cells. Binary fission means that the bacteria…

Genetic Traits Exhibited The earthworm possesses 36 chromosomes. Their tends to be less adaption and therefore less diversity within species as the earthworms tend to move considerably in their vast environment.The earthworm has a basic shape of a cylinder. The body of the earthworm is divided into several segments which carry bristles that are called setae. The entire body of an earthworm is surrounded by a thin mucus which increases its mobility. At the first segment of the body, the…

the cerebral cortex in the exception of the sense of smell, which relays signals directly to the cortex without going through thalamus. The hypothalamus is relatively smaller in size but controls a large number of bodily functions. This part is responsible for stimulating smooth muscle lining the intestines, stomach, and blood vessels at the autonomic level in addition to receiving impulses from such areas. As a result, the hypothalamus controls the heart rate, bladder contraction, and food…
