Partial pressure

Angina is usually associated with stress, and since the body is under going stress due to the poor blood flow the body may experience angina. A patient may feel a tightness of the chest as well as pressure. Another co-morbidities associated with CAD is SOB or shortness of breath. This is also caused by the poor blood flow that makes it harder for the heart to pump enough blood to the entire body leading to develop SOB or fatigue. A major complication…

P1 had clear lung sound in all lobes and normal heart sound on auscultation; regular apical, radial, and pedal pulses; capillary refill was less than 3 minutes, +1 pitting edema in his lower extremities, skin was warm to touch. The patient exhibited poor skin turgor due to limited fluid intake. The pt. had ecchymosis on his upper extremities due to multiple IV lines insertion and erythema on his sacral area due to limited ambulation. Due to pt.’s history of acute-on-chronic renal failure, his…

Over the years, biologists have carried out experiments to explore the differences in animal hearts. With regards to this experiment at hand, the differences were explored between mammalian and amphibian hearts. This experiment also helps us determine the effects of external, biological factors and pharmacological substances on the contraction of the heart. The following will serve as an overview of the structure and functioning of amphibian heart. A frog heart has three chambers (two atria and…

Many of Adorno’s ideas can be recognized throughout The Merchants of Cool’s exploration of youth and popular culture. As addressed by Adorno, standardization, identification, and pseudo-individualization all take form in the growing teenage culture. In the documentary The Merchants of Cool, you can see how standardization is seen throughout the film. It shows how teens are very vulnerable in their quest for what’s considered “cool” in popular culture. Today, the search for being “cool” affects…

Humans and other mammals have a Diving Response, which can be also known as ‘The Mammalian Dive Response/Reflex. The Diving reflex consists of set of reflexes that are activated when our face is cooled or if we hold our breath. This is a clever psychological mechanism because it enables our bodies to manage and to tolerate a lower level of oxygen in an environment that we do not normally face every day. There are three main changes that occur in our body when our Dive reflex triggers;…

risk to the cardiovascular system, including cardiac ischemia. Respiratory changes are possible across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. Cardiac function seems to be dependent upon the type of seizure occurring. The majority of complex partial, tonic-clonic and temporal lobe seizures are associated with increased heart rate. This increase in heart rate trends in a steep acceleration initially then has marked variations at the time of seizure and postictally. Tachycardia rates that…

Motility and flagellar length were compared in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii before and after deflagellation. The Chlamydomonas were deflagellated by a low pH shock and were observed for flagellar regeneration in 10 minute intervals for 50 minutes. We found the average number of cells that were motile after 50 minutes of flagellar regeneration was 43.80 cells. The difference in motility before deflagellation and after flagellar regeneration was due to flagellar length. Less motility was observed in…

Abstract: Our experiment tests how body positions and body movements affect heart rate. We used 4 different subjects and 3 different trials including our control. For our hypothesis, we theorized that the more movements that a person does, the higher their heart rate will be. After doing this experiment, we found that the more movements and exercises your body does, the more increased your heart rate will become. There could be possible sources of error like any experiments, so this data is the…

Furosemide is a medication known as a loop diuretic (Allen, 2013). A diuretic is a medication which increases the amount of urine that passes out from the kidneys and they are often referred to as water tablets. It works by eliminating water and salt from the body through urination. In the kidneys, salt and water are filtered out of the blood and into the tubules of the kidney to the Glomerulus (Waugh and Grant, 2014), making the filtered fluid into urine (Omudhome, 2014). The sodium, chloride…

Imagine you’re out to lunch with a couple of friends from work when your stomach starts to cramp. Oh no, not now, you start to think. You start looking around the room looking for the closest bathroom. You politely excuse yourself from the table and sprint to the bathroom only to find a line. You’re sweating because of the pain, nauseous, and anxious you’re going to have an accident right here in front of everyone. This is how it can feel for someone suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. The…
