A 94 year old female was admitted to the hospital with occurring symptoms of swelling (edema) in the both of the lower legs, shortness of breath (dyspnoea) and recent weight gain due to Congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the metabolic needs of the body (Figueroa & Peters, 2016). The result of inadequate cardiac output (CO) is poor organ perfusion and vascular congestion in the pulmonary (left-sided failure) and…

Media exposure can cause short term and long term effects. Short term effects are immediate and occur during the timeframe of exposure to the form of media. These short term effects can affect thought processes, beliefs, evaluative judgements, attitude, emotions, behavior, and physiological responses. (Potter 2014) Cognitive processes may be effected by supplying information and implementing new ideas. An example of a short term cognitive effect would be learning the outcome of a sports game or…

physical sciences. The investigation of the human body as a machine for the execution of work has its establishments in three noteworthy zones of study—in particular, mechanics, anatomy, and physiology. The 3 main studied in kinesiology are biomechanics, musculoskeletal anatomy, and neuromuscular physiology. The gathered knowledge of these three fields shapes the establishment for the investigation of human development. This is critical on the grounds that A few experts allude to kinesiology as…

What am I going to do with my life? What am I going to major in? What do I want to be? Many people ask themselves these questions, especially students who are attending college for the first time. I was one of those students. After meticulous research on possible career paths based on my interests, I came to an answer for all of these questions--I desired to pursue a career in occupational therapy. It is an occupational therapist’s job to aid patients develop, recover, and improve skills needed…

Heat stress may occur to human when the controlling means for internal temperature to their body starts to fail (Health and Safety Executive, 2013). There are different contributing factors to the heat stress such as temperature, amount of work performed in heat (ambient temperature), clothing worn at work and humidity. When somebody wears protective dress to perform heavy task in hot environment, can result the heat stress due to: restricting the evaporation of sweating; heat rise in body due…

Homeostasis, a unifying principle of biology, refers to the body’s ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes. If the body was unable to maintain a constant internal environment, cells would lose their ability to carry out normal functions. For example, when we consume different foods or drinks, our body essentially maintains a constant pH or when we are exposed to cold weather, the body regulates body temperature in an effort to maintain an internal…

There are many types of burns such as heat burns, friction burns, cold temperature burns, chemical burns, electrical burns, and radiation burns. In general burns damage or injure skin layers and other parts of the body such as muscles, nerves, blood vessels, lungs and eyes. These burns are classified as first, second, or third degree burns depending on the layers of skin and tissue that are damaged. As one shall know the deeper the burn the more serious the burn is. First degree burns are burns…

with more than 25 years experience in biochemistry and physiology. He started off at the Stirling University in Scotland studying physiology and computing from 1978 to 1981. Finishing his degree David went on to train with dressage coach and rider Judy Harvey a fellow of the British Horse Society (FBHS) and Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) International dressage judge. Continuing David then went on to do a PhD on exercise physiology at the University of Loughborough,1989, which is the…

education and training for doctors and veterinarians”(Vivisection and Animal Testing”), Students start off with animals so they can get a better understanding on how parts of the body work and it provides a foundation for their human anatomy and physiology. “Future scientists and physicians often study animals to understand how different processes, such as digestion and circulation, work”(“Animal Testing”). Most of the animals are killed and used for dissecting, others while still alive are cut…

Quiet eye is a gaze behavior first reported by Joan Vickers of Calgary University in 1996. The Quiet eye has been defined as the duration of the final fixation towards the relevant target prior to the execution of the critical phase of movement and has been accepted as a measure of optimal visual attentional control. The quiet eye has an onset that occurs before the final movement in the motor task and an onset that occurs when the fixation deviates off the target by more than 3 degrees for…
