[pic] THE KNIFE by Richard Selzer One holds the knife as one holds the bow of a cello or a tulip: by the stem. Not palmed nor gripped nor grasped‚ but lightly‚ with the tips of the fingers. The knife is not for pressing. It is for drawing across the field of skin. Like a slender fish‚ it waits‚ at the ready‚ then‚ go! It darts‚ followed by a fine wake of red. The flesh parts‚ falling away to yellow globules of fat. Even now‚ after so many times‚ I still marvel at its power--cold‚

D2. Explain the importance of homeostasis in maintaining the healthy functioning of the body. Homeostasis is vital for the maintenance of healthy functioning of the body. It is important the body keeps to a narrow range of variables‚ and without it ‚ chemical reactions and metabolic processes within the body cannot be carried out properly‚ which can cause disease and complications. If the body cannot maintain its temperature‚ this can cause the person to overheat‚ resulting in hyperthermia. This

Unit 5 Reading Guide Questions Which minerals are stored in bones? Triglycerides‚ calcium phosphate‚ and calcium hydroxide are all stored in the bones as mineral salts Which types of bones provides a large‚ flat surface area for muscle attachment? Flat bones such as the scapulae have large‚ flat surface area for muscle attachment. Describe the location‚ composition‚ and function of the epiphyseal plate. The epiphyseal plate is located in the metaphysis‚ and is composed of hyaline cartilage

Lab 9 Report: Exercise Physiology Introduction When the human body is put to work and undergoes any sort of activity‚ it requires more energy and resources in order to sustain this. The cells in muscles and organs must work faster‚ and thus require more energy to do so. The body compensates by increasing heart rate and respiration in order to increase the amount of oxygen entering‚ carbon dioxide leaving‚ and rate at which these gases are delivered to cells throughout the body. In this lab‚ we

What genetic mutations produce the greatest risk of skin cancer? Cancer begins when one or more genes in a cell mutate. This either creates an abnormal protein or no protein at all‚ which causes mutated cells to multiply uncontrollably. The Most common gene to carry skin cancer would be the MC1R (melanocortin-1 receptor). Increasing evidence is showing that the greater number of variations in this gene‚ the greater the risk for melanoma. It also carries a more moderate risk that the CDKN2A mutation
