fallen 3 times in the past 2 days. She said she fell back and hit her head with no loss of consciousness. Her medical history is significant for anxiety, hypertension, coronary disease and seizures. On presentation her BP is 160/70, pulse of 78, respirations of 15, and she is afebrile. The patient was evidently taken to CAT scan and although there is no clear reason for it she was alleged to fallen off the CAT scan table. Trauma was called and a c-collar was applied. The patient had edema,…

Pollution is the introduction of a harmful material to any environment. This can be natural or produced by mankind. Some examples of natural pollutants may be the wastes of all animals, insects and birds, also mud, volcanic ash, etc. On the other hand we have the pollution created by humans. This is the one that has affected the environment in enormous ways, polluting not only the environment, but also ecosystems to, extinguishing tons of animals per minute, destroying land every were they…

body temperature using mechanism within their own body. A major adaptation in endothermic organisms that is not seen in ectotherms is the large number of mitochondria in the cells. This adaptation allows more ATP to be available through cellular respiration in the cells of ectotherms. This allows body heat to be generate from their metabolism and muscular contraction. These heat generating abilities…

Weight loss was calculated by the following formula as described by Akhtar et al (2010) Weight loss % = (a - b/a) * 100 Where a and b represent initial and final weight respectively. 2.2 Overall Acceptability (OAA) - Overall Acceptability of the fruit was judged by panel of 5 judges. The fruits were judged on the basis of color, texture and taste. For this, 4 point scale was used. 4= excellent, 3= good, 2=fair, 1=poor. The samples were rated according to deep red colour, crisp texture and…

and inflamed, and the muscles around these tubes are tightened. Excessively thick and sticky mucus is produced, and the air passages become clogged. Whenever you breathe, less air passes through the narrowed airways, thus resulting in stressful respiration (Understanding Asthma, n.d.). To diagnose asthma, your doctor will discuss your medical history with you and perform a physical exam. You may need a lung function test and maybe other tests, such as a chest or sinus X-ray. If you or your child…

The purpose of homeostasis is to maintain a state of dynamic equilibrium within the body. Animals need to maintain a constant internal environment despite fluctuations in the internal and external environment. We need homeostasis as it keeps the bodys environment under control and keeps the conditions right for cells to live and function at optimal levels which ensures the survival and reproduction of the animals. Without the right conditions for the cells some would not be able to function…

Systems Relationship Assignment 1. Muscular System and Skeletal System The muscular system is dependent on the skeletal system to provide blood cells to the muscles. The blood cells contain oxygen which is converted into ATP during cellular respiration. The ATP is needed to perform daily tasks like walking. The skeletal system supports the striated muscle which allows movement to occur. The striated muscle connects the bone and muscle together. The skeletal system relies on the muscular system…

is also used in our homes, for common things like perfume (Diffusion). Diffusion and osmosis are also important to our bodies. Diffusion can be a process of molecules entering cells and taking out waste (Why is...). Diffusion also helps cellular respiration, cell signaling, and the nervous system (Why is...). Basically, diffusion helps with countless things in our everyday lives. I chose the problem statement because if temperatures are increased, diffusion and osmosis are sped…

Lance Armstrong was not always born a great athlete. Just like ordinary people, practice makes perfect. Lance’s mother, Linda, was 12 when she had him. When he was just a baby, his father moved out. Furthermore, Linda remarried to Terry Armstrong, and he formally adopted Lance. Terry and Lance never closely bonded, then he got his first bike. Linda managed to buy him his first bike, a Schwinn Mag Scrambler. After she divorced Terry, Linda was fully devoted to her son, “She instilled all her…

Sugar: Is it Food or Poison? Refined sugar is ubiquitous in our culture. Simply visiting a local supermarket, one is convinced that the most common ingredient found in our food today is refined sugar. Omitting the obvious sources like candy and soda pop (which usually occupy 2-3 isles), sugar is hidden in almost all processed foods in the forms of evaporated cane juice, high fructose corn syrup, and molasses. But how unhealthy is sugar? Is it only its high caloric content that induces obesity…
