Respiration

illness, but it could have also been a result of increased respiration from speech anxiety. Speech anxiety is the fear of public speaking, and it comes in two forms. Dysfunctional speech anxiety causes our flight or fight mode to activate, and prevents us from giving a speech (Rothwell, 23). Functional speech anxiety is also a result of the flight or fight modes activation, but it does not prevent us from giving our speech. Increased respiration is one of many physiological symptoms of speech…

depth of respiration, cardiovascular activity, and perspiration (Bennett-Alexander…

also one of the few methods of lie detection acceptable for use in criminal proceedings. This machine allows examiners to determine if the subject is attempting to be deceptive by collecting physiological data such as blood pressure, pulse and respiration. Over the years the polygraph has proven to be one of the most effective tools for detecting deception. The reliability and effectiveness of polygraph has been debated for decades despite various evidences proving its dependability.…

Contemporary competitive sport is a rivalry on the border of the bodies endurance. Along with the improvement of training methods, these boundaries are shifted and it is difficult to determine the real limit of human potential to beat consecutive records. The commercialization and the popularity of big athletic events on television, along with the enormous sums of money paid to athletes for their performance, intensify the competition. All this creates new medical problems; new quality disease…

oxygen given off simply reacted with the rocks, but gradually it built up in the oceans and started to bubble out into the atmosphere. To start with, it was a toxic gas harmful to life, but soon life evolved to make use of the oxygen through aerobic respiration. About half-way through earth’s history, there was oxygen in the atmosphere. Without oxygen, there was no ozone in the…

A light microscope works like a telescope using glass lenses to reflect light, which magnifies images which are naked to the human eye such as cells and dust. The lens closest to your eye is called the eyepiece lens. This usually has a magnification of x10. Objective lenses are lenses of several different strengths which magnify the image. The stage is the place where the microscopic slide sits. This is held in place by the clips. The light source (can be a mirror or a bulb) projects light onto…

portable tank for at-home use when IPF progression is still early on, or it can be a stationary machine once the IPF patient is on bedrest in the hospital (National Institutes of Health, 2011). This does not completely restore a regular oxygen flow or respiration rate; however…

phosphorylation, simultaneously reactive oxygen species. Early researchs has proven that oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species is one of the reasons of the cell aging [7]. The intracellular reactive oxygen species generated by mitochondrial respiration, therefore, mitochondrial protein and mitochondrial DNA were more accessible active oxygen and active oxygen damage [8-15]. Mitochondrial DNA damage leads to the damage of mitochondrial function, which leads to cell dysfunction, and…

8)Thermoregulation is the process your body goes through to keep your body's temperature regulated to 60-38°C. 9)The hypothalamus is the portion of the brain that monitors and regulates the body's temperature. 10a)The body will expand blood flow in the skin and have the sweat glands produce more sweat. 10b)The body will restrict blood flow in the skin and have muscles shiver to generate and keep heat. 11a)The stimulus is the hypothalamus sensing to little heat in the body and the response is…

If I were pregnant, I would like to give natural childbirth. Even though it would be more painful than having a cesarean delivery, I still want to give birth this way, because it has many benefits for the mother and the baby. For instance, we will have a quicker recovery time and can take care the baby immediately after birth. Furthermore, natural childbirth process will stimulate the mother's body to lactate early, so that the baby will soon be able to enjoy colostrum. Based on what I know, the…
