"Explain the concept of homeostasis with reference to the control of heart rate‚ breathing rate‚ body temperature and blood glucose levels" P5 Homeostasis is where the body keeps a constant internal environment. This involves all the metabolic processes taking place In the body as well as the blood‚ tissue fluid and all the contents in the body ’s cells. There are a range of variables from heart rate to the blood glucose levels that the body will take into account. Negative feedback will occur

Steven Ofstedahl BI 243 Short report Cardiac Arrest The circulatory system along with the heart make are what make up the cardiovascular system. The heart works as a pump that pushes blood to tissues‚ organs and cells in your body. The blood can be pumped throughout the body through a series of arteries‚ veins and capillaries. Arteries and capillaries send blood from the heart to all areas of the body‚ while veins help bring that blood back to the heart. Arteries carries oxygenated blood away

Sample Physiology MCQs 1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action

In a normal ECG wave tracing‚ atrial repolarization is hidden by __QRS Complez__. 8. Note: Electrical events lead to mechanical events. For example‚ the P wave represents __atrial_ depolarization‚ which leads to atrial _contraction___. 9. A left bundle branch block would have a wider than normal wave for the __QRS complex_.

we explain how the heart operates as a pump‚ beginning with the special features of heart muscle itself. Physiology of Cardiac Muscle The heart is composed of three major types of cardiac muscle: atrial muscle‚ ventricular muscle‚ and specialized excitatory and conductive muscle fibers. The atrial and ventricular types of muscle contract in much the same way as skeletal muscle‚ except that the duration of contraction is much longer. Conversely‚ the specialized excitatory and conductive fibers contract

According to the American Medical Association Family Medical Guide‚ about 8 out of every 1‚000 children are born with heart abnormalities‚ or congenital heart defects.( AMAFMG p. 389) The 4 most recurring defects are Pulmonary Stenosis‚ Aortic Stenosis‚ Atrial Septal Defect and Ventricular Septal Defect. ( Radiologic Technology 2008) The most common form of congenital defect is Ventricular Septal Defect or VSD. A VSD is an opening of the septum that separates the left and right side of the heart‚ or
