Pure Heart

June Callwood, was social activist and journalist from Chatham Ontario, during her lifetime she wrote many different pieces, on a wide array of topics. At a young age she became one of Canadas most famous social justice activists. Her 2002 essay “Forgiveness”, talks about how forgiving is an essential aspect to living peacefully. This critique aims to break down the essays strengths and weaknesses and what could be improved upon. In this text, Callwood brings up multiple examples of when a…

RESEARCH DEMYSTIFIES HOW STRESS INCREASES THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKE Topic: Research demystifies how stress increases the risk of heart disease and stroke Purpose: To find out if there is a connection between stress and cardiovascular disease. Hypothesis: The author’s hypothesis is that since previous studies has concluded that there is a link between stress and higher activity in the bone marrow and arteries in animals, the same could apply to humans. The author…

CHAPTER I What is a workout? A workout can be defined as a physical activity that includes twenty five percent perspiration and seventy five percent of determination. It can also be stated in other words as one part physical exertion and three parts self discipline. Doing it is very easy but getting started is difficult. A workout has the ability to make you better than you were yesterday. It has the power to strengthen the body, relax the mind, toughen the spirit and boosts up your confidence…

Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacology that describes how the body affects a specific drug after administration. A number of phases occur once the drug enters into contact with the gastro intestinal wall, these are described using the acronym ADME, starting with the mechanisms of absorption, which is the process by which a substance enters the blood circulation. Distribution, where the dispersion or dissemination of substances throughout the fluids and tissues of the body. ADME also…

Blood is the only liquid in the body that is classified as connective tissue. Its function is to transport oxygen, metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste from the kidneys. Regulation of the body’s pH, body temperature, and maintenance of the liquid volume in the circulatory system. Lastly, protection by way of Leukocyte activation and preventing blood loss by way of the platelets in the blood. Blood is composed of 55% plasma (water, salts, plasma proteins, and other…

2.1. The left ventricle and interventricular septum The heart has two inferior chambers, called the right and left ventricles, respectively. These chambers are the “pumps” that expel blood into the blood vessels and keeps it flowing through the body (Rizzo, 2016). The left ventricle is a cavity that has thick muscular walls that contains the papillary muscles as well as the chordae tendinae that attaches the atrio-ventricular valve leaflets to the papillary muscles (Leeson, Augustine,…

Let looks on how the pressure is develop into the clinical condition. Pressure ulcers develop because of the weight of the body giving a pressure toward the skin. The pressure disrupt the blood flow to the affected area of the skin. This disease usually occur where the bone is close to skin (Bony prominence) is pressured against a surface such as floor, a chair or even a bed. The compression toward the skin and the underlying tissue causes the blood vessel to damage. Even when less pressure is…

blood on the walls of blood vessels, it is controlled by a negative feedback system where heart rate and blood volume need to be altered in order to control the pressure. Local negative feedback systems and heart rate is regulated but the cardiovascular centre which also in turn controls neural and hormonal mechanisms. Neurons regulate heart rate and contractility and some neurons inhibit, stimulate or control heart rate by causing constriction which also controls the blood pressure. The…

The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the cells and tissues to the body. The blood then returns to the right side of the body this is called systemic circuit. From the heart blood flows through large muscular arteries, then into smaller and smaller arteries, then arterioles and finally to the capillaries. It’s in the capillaries where the diffusion process takes place to exchange molecules of oxygen and nutrients for carbon dioxide of nearby cells,…

A polygraph is a common instrument of measurement to calculate and document physiological aspects such as respiration rate, electrodermal activity, and heart rate. The relevant uses of measuring respiration rate as well as heart rate are quite common in a wide variety of applications. However, electrodermal activity and the galvanic skin response are not commonly measured things in places such as the medical field, or education. Electrodermal activity (EDA) refers to the variation of the…
