I felt butterflies in my stomach as I got in the bus to go to the State meet with the rest of my Cross Country team. The boys team was going that year and I was in the top seven who had to run. It was nerve racking for me considering I was only in sixth grade and I was running with a bunch of older kids who are in seventh and eighth grade. It was going to be incredibly hard for me, but I took a deep breath and sat down in my seat. I had felt an uneasy feeling in the air as we took off towards my…

The water is completely deprived of fish below a pH level of 4.5 (Effects of changes, n.d). This problem occurs because aluminum ions in the soil unleash into the lakes, ultimately killing all types of fish by clogging their gills through excess mucus (Effects of change, n.d). Very high pH levels can damage the outer surface of the fish, such as the skin, gills, and eyes (Effects of changes, n.d.). High pH also increases the toxicity of ammonia, which further harms aquatic life (Effects of…

Drinking ages have been or many years around the world up for debate for many years and across the globe. America’s states alone have changed their drinking age multiple times from 21 to 18, 19, or 20 and now have finally settled on 21 thanks to the passing of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. However, this has not silenced the underlying grumble of the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) being too high and not without good reason. The current drinking age should be lowered to 18 as…

It’s imperative for nurses to continuously assess and work alongside professionals to establish a plan of action that targets the client’s priority problems. The schemes behind a care plan “is to identify client strengths and potential or actual health problems or needs, and to develop specific nursing interventions to achieve mutually agreed-upon outcomes ” (Kozier et al., 2014, p.455). The intent of this analysis will centralize on instituting a specific plan of action on a 13month toddler…

2.5.1. Digestive system The digestive tract of the penaeidae shrimp is divided into three regions (Figure 4): namely, foregut, midgut and hind gut. The embryological origin of the epithelial cells in the foregut and hindgut are derived from the ectodermal and covered with cuticle. However, the epithelial cells of the midgut are derived from the entodermal origin. This region of the gut is lack of cuticle; however, it is lined by a peritrophic membrane (Lovett and Felder, 1989, 1990a, 1990b).…

carried on droplets of others coughs and sneezes. The bacteria then attaches itself to the lining of the airways in the respiratory system which allows the release of toxins that prohibit the lungs from moving fluids and germs out. Because of this, mucus is concentrated in the lungs and causes an uncontrollable cough. The brutal cough makes it very hard to breath, and coughing fits cause people to take deep breaths developing the loud “whooping” noise that characterizes this illness. However…
