Skeletal muscle allows the body to carry out exercise through movement of the body parts. “Skeletal muscle is defined as voluntary striated muscle that is attached to one or more bones.” (Saladin, 2008, p 266) Without this type of muscle the body would not be able to perform exercise of any type. “Nutritional blood flow through the active skeletal muscles rises by 10-20-fold from its resting value of 2-5ml/min/100g.” (Clifford and Hellsten…

Reflection Paper Kayla Brock November 20, 2016 American Public University Course Summary There was much to learn in this course and I enjoyed taking it. This class covered many things and focused on many of the intricacies involved in environmental economics. I now have a better understanding of willingness to pay (WTP), cost-benefit analysis, pluralistic values, managing renewable resources, and comparing the prisoner 's dilemma to environmental issues. I think the material I…

As John Gillingham states, “no other king of England ever caught the imagination of his age as did Richard Coeur de Lion. Troubadour, knight-adventurer, war-lord, Crusader-king, he was all of these things.”1 Undoubtedly, Richard's military skills were exceptional, as his numerous military successes as a knight and captain prove it. However, even as a knight, Richard was far from irreproachable. As John Gillingham says himself, Richard “was a warrior who lived all his life at the centre of the…

Movie Essay The purpose of the movie was to learn about how life was back then with gods and kings. Who ruled places or how they did. We also learned about how people had wars back then in 500 B.C. And how many wives a god or king could have . This movie was about Christian's , Muslim's and a little bit of Koreans . The only problem I had with the film was that people really don't know all of what these people did back in the day. They just base it off statistics . They didn't live…

The postclassical period began at the decline and fall of the Roman Empire and lasted until the 15th century. As Western civilization began and throughout most of the medieval age, it was a backward society that only had regions around it that were just beginning or redeveloping. Western Europe had many problems, especially with Italy, which was left broken after Roman decline. This political weakness continued until the late 19th century, after medieval times. Spain, at this time, was…

Islam: Empire of Faith The Islam movie was mainly about the differences and similarities of all the religions. It was also about all of the origins and locations of where you can find all of the religions. The purpose of the movie was to educate people about where all of the religions came from, what people follow the religion, and what they practice to be a part of the religion. Even though the movie was boring to watch, especially during homecoming week, it was a very good, educational…

Richard I was born on September 8, 1157 to Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Even though Richard was born in Oxford and had an English king for a father, he saw France as his true home. He was the third of four legitimate sons sired by King Henry, and was much closer to his mother. It was well known that Richard had no chance of inheriting the crown. His older brother, Henry the Young King, was declared his father’s successor in 1156, a year before Richard was even born. In any case, Richard…

The stalemate ended with the victory of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (also known as Saladin in the west) over the militaries of Jerusalem at the Horns. During this period of stalemate is when Jihad was written. Saladin had to create instructions so he can make his armies in Syria fight till the end, that way they can get their land back from the first crusade. The Jihad indicated that if anyone…

The main subject of Islam: Empire Of Faith is to educate watchers about the history of the Islamic culture and how it affects the world today. Some things that were good about the film was that it evaluated and explained on what the Islamic people believe. Another thing is that it deepens our understanding of how the Islamic faith started and grew into the large religion it is today. Some things I didn't like about the film's context was that it was very one sided, and so it never explained…
