Aging is a process that all humans must go through‚ and as life expectancy increases it becomes more important to understand the intimate details to normal aging process. Maintaining health is very important to this process‚ the older a person becomes the more medical services is needed. Since aging is a process that begins when you are conceived and continues for as long as we live out life span‚ our body reflects genetic components and environmental experience. So in a genetic way our bodies

The cardiac cycle is one complete heart beat. During the cycle each atrium and ventricle will contract and relax once. THe contraction of the chamber is called systole and the relaxation is called diastole. The average

Organism Physiology Paper BIO/101 Organism Physiology Paper Every organism is different and has different physical attributes that allow them to survive in their habitat. Organisms can range from an animal‚ fungus‚ micro-organism‚ or plant. Some organisms have tick fur to deal with the cold winter as where some need the sun to survive. Evolution has given organisms their physiology to survive. Snakes as well as many reptiles have a unique physiology compared to other animals or organism
