1.6 Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the main factor in sustaining blood flow through tissues. The force applied to the arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the circulatory system defines the physiological meaning of blood pressure (Bojanov‚ 2009). Blood pressure is determined by the force‚ heartbeat rate‚ and resistance to blood flow through vessels. Cyclic changes in arterial blood pressure are partially attributed to the rhythmic contractions in the left ventricle (Iaizzo‚ 2009)

Hormones can react to increase blood pressure when it becomes low‚ the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system uses several ways to temporarily increase blood pressure when it has dropped for example during the fight or flight response. During the response‚ the sympathetic division is needed to stimulate the adrenal glands to release the hormones epinephrine and norepineprine which stimulate the heart to beat faster and for blood to flow more forcefully‚ this effect makes most of the

GAS LAWS Properties of Gases Gases expand into any available volume • gas molecules escape from open containers. Gases are completely miscible • once mixed they will not spontaneously separate. Gases are described in terms of T‚ P‚ V and n Volume‚ Amount and Temperature • A gas expands uniformly to fill the container in which it is placed – The volume of the container is the volume of the gas – Volume may be in liters‚ mL‚ or cm3 • The temperature of a gas must be indicated

Gas analysis techniques Terms for gas analysis techniques Concentration The term concentration describes the amount of a substance‚ expressed as mass‚ volume‚ or number of particles in a unit volume of a solid‚ liquid‚ or gaseous substance e.g. alcohol in beer or oxygen in air. Different units are in use to describe concentration in gases: Mass concentration Concentration expressed in terms of mass of substance per unit volume [g substance/m3 gas volume] ¢ Volume concentration Concentration

and their uses Exploration milestone-an overview. INTRODUCTION: By definition petroleum is a generic name for hydrocarbons‚ including crude oil‚ natural gas liquids‚ natural gas and their products. Petroleum comes from the Latin petra meaning rock or stone & oleum meaning oil. Petroleum occurs in the earth in combination of any of the four states: gas‚ liquid‚ semisolid‚ and solid. Chemically‚ petroleum is a mixture of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen (called hydrocarbons) with minor amounts of nitrogen

Analysts expect gas prices to decrease or remain mostly flat not only in 2014‚ but for years to come. Nonetheless‚ drivers in some states will see higher prices at the pump‚ starting January 1. Gas prices may not have seemed all that cheap in 2013. But in fact‚ prices for the year as a whole were less expensive than they have been. According toAAA’s year-end report‚ American drivers paid $3.49 per gallon of regular‚ on average for 2013. That’s the cheapest per-gallon average since 2010; the national

The understanding of blood spatter patterns is not a widely recognized forensic practice. Bloodstain pattern interpretation (BPI) is commonly used in murder investigations‚ but could be utilized in everything from simple assault to mass murders if the number of trained professionals increased. BPI can reveal critical information into reinventing a given crime scene. Everything from the number of blows‚ stabs or shots a victim was given‚ the movement that was undergone by the victim and assailant

Review the behavior of the gas phase vs. the liquid phase. Solution: a) The volume of the liquid remains constant‚ but the volume of the gas increases to the volume of the larger container. b) The volume of the container holding the gas sample increases when heated‚ but the volume of the container holding the liquid sample remains essentially constant when heated. c) The volume of the liquid remains essentially constant‚ but the volume of the gas is reduced. The particles in a gas are further apart than
