Saliva

The integumentary system consists of the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands (Taylor, 2015). The skin is also important in maintaining body water levels and preventing water loss into the environment. Serious levels of dehydration can be reflected in reduced skin turgor that is displayed by tenting of the skin as a flag for dehydration (Popkin, D’Anci & Rosenberg, 2010). The body’s core temperature is usually between 36-37 0C. The core temperature is balanced by heat gains and losses, the…

• Peristalsis – rhythmic muscular contractions of the digestive track that move its contents along the digestive track. • Segmentation – contraction happening in the small intestine. It divide and mixes the chime (partially digested food and digestive juices) • Enzymes – proteins that speed up chemical reactions without change to themselves. • Esophageal sphincter – the opening between the esophagus and he stomach that relaxes and opens to allow the bolus to travel into stomach and then closes…

Paramecium is a single-celled protist from the Alveolate clade. They live in wet environments like lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and puddles. The wet environment can even be inside of animal bodies and in moist soil. Paramecium are heterotrophs, meaning they eat other living or non-living things. They eat by trapping food inside of their oral grooves, which are basically mouths. They use cilia on their body to not only move, but also help capture their prey. When the food gets into the oral…

Barnes, was not as advanced as it is today, nor did it have the technology that is now available to us, however, with as many test performed, which included serology, semen swabs, saliva swabs, fingerprinting, and tire imprints, all which were not a match or inconclusive You have to wonder how such a conviction occurred. I believe that the collection procedures at that time were ethical, but like much of the technology used today…

The acid begins being produced by the bacteria on the surface of the teeth called the plaque which is made up of food particles, bacteria, saliva, and other substances that come in contact with the teeth when chewing food or drinking beverages. The sugar containing in foods or drinks enters the mouth and the bacteria in the plaque begin turning food into acid which can slowly start to destroy…

Oral herpes which causes blisters on the mouth, lips, eye and throat is unknown to many young mothers. They have thus been cautioned against allowing people to kiss their babies and toddlers to curb the virus which is transmitted through saliva. According to a paediatrician at Kiambu Level 4 Hospital, Dr Grace Onyango, there have been increasing cases of children being brought to the facility’s paediatric unit after contracting the virus. Dr Onyango said the condition, known as cold herpes –…

been repeatedly paired, the organism which in Pavlov’s case was his dog shows a conditioned response to the conditioned stimulus. During the 1890’s, Pavlov accidentally discovered classical conditioning when feeding his dog. His dogs produced excess saliva when he entered the room with their food but he noticed that even when he entered the room with no food for his dogs, they began to salivate also. To begin his studies, Pavlov’s lab assistant gave his dog some food…

Currently, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Furthermore, the five year survival rate of individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer has been estimated at just below 5%. This can be attributed to the fact that pancreatic cancer often progresses stealthily and physical symptoms (jaundice, abdominal pain, and weight loss) do not present until the cancer is in its later stages. As a result, the best way of treating pancreatic cancer is to…

In our world today, rabies is a disease that is still alive. “Over the past one hundred years rabies cases in the United States has changed dramatically, more than 90% of all animal cases reported annually to CDC now occur in wildlife, however before 1960 the majority were in domestic animals and deaths went from more than 100 annually to 2 to 3 per year” (www.cdc.gov/rabies/). “Ninety-nine percent of people who have rabies have been bitten by a rabid dog” (www.heathline.com). “Forty percent of…
