Anatomy & Physiology December 16‚ 2012 Anatomy and Physiology 1 Final Exam Define/Describe the following terms as completely and detailed as you can: 1. Inflammation- Inflammation is the bulging of skin‚ organs‚ or other body parts due to fluid buildup caused an injury. The fluid rushes to the injured area and that is what makes the puffiness. 2. High Fructose Corn Syrup- (HFCS) Composed of corn and lab chemicals. HFCS is found in processed foods such as salad dressing and soda. Your body

We have three types of muscles in our bodies‚ skeletal‚ smooth and cardiac. Each type of muscle performs different functions in our bodies. Some of the characteristics of our muscles are that they respond to stimuli‚ they are able to shorten in length‚ they stretch when they are pulled and they tend to return to their original shape after contracting or extending them. Muscle contractions occur when our nervous system sends a signal via the neuromuscular junctions the signal arrives at the end bulb

perception‚ foresight/predicition and readiness. Fatalism played a role in the pre-christian Germanic beliefs. Pre-christian Germanic people saw fate s something that was not entirely something out of their control. Yet we will see that not only are human actins are very much a part of the equation of Germanic thought‚ but some can indeed escape their self-made fate. Such as the character honscio’s fate was woven outside of any control of his. The various Germanic peoples were

The Muscular System: Muscle Metabolism 1. List the three roles of ATP in muscle contraction: 1.Energize the power stroke of the myosin cross bridge. 2.Disconnecting the myosin head from the binding site on actin at the conclusion of a power stroke. 3.Energizing the calcium ion pump 2. The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-energy bond is broken by a process called Write the end products of this process: ATP (+ H2O) ______ADP___________ 3. Rebuilding ADP into ATP with

Introduction Zoonotic intestinal parasites are prevalent around the world. One of the most common and studied is transmitted by the microscopic protozoan‚ Giardia intestinalis‚ also known as G. lamblia and G. duodenalis (Ivanov‚ 2010). This eukaryotic parasite is responsible for the transmission of the most common waterborne disease‚ giardiasis‚ which causes watery diarrhea‚ vomiting‚ and has even been linked to irritable bowl syndrome (Ankarklev et. al. 2010). Since its discovery in 1681‚ Giardia
