The reaction of cultural shock depends on various factors‚ the experience of other culture adaptation‚ the difference between the home culture and the new culture‚ and the psychological characteristics of the person.

Aerobic - There are three significant adaptations associated with the constant performance of aerobic training. Aerobic training usually produces an increase in functional capacities related to oxygen transport and use in the body. Endurance training produces significant increases in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Maximal oxygen consumption is an indicator of the level of cardiovascular ‚ neuromuscular ‚ and pulmonary functions. Cardiovascular adaptations to this type of training are cardiac

In addition‚ the whales next adaptation is the way the humpback whale gets its air to breathe. a-z-animals.com states that “The humpback whale has not one but two blow holes‚ which are located on the top of the humpback whale’s head.” Finding food‚ this adaptation helps the humpback survive because it allows them to hold more air and then they barely have to swim up to the top of the water. Just as important‚ the glorious creature’s next adaptation is what keeps the whales warm

Chronic Training Adaptations Exercise or training regularly over an extended period of time (3 times per week for 6-8 weeks) leads to the development of long-term or chronic adaptations to training. Evidence of these adaptations can occur at various stages Once achieved‚ these adaptations are retrained unless training ceases. Upon cessation‚ the body will gradually revert to its pre-training condition (de-training). Unlike acute responses to exercises‚ chronic adaptations to training vary

Adaptation is a process of nature in which an animal becomes better suited to its habitat and can be found throughout nature. In vertebrate species‚ these adaptations often affect the skeletal system. One example of skeletal adaptation can be found in locomotion. There is a skeletal adaption called fossorial locomotion which means that animals overtime has modified to allow movement‚ to dig and live underground. These species often have modified limbs to aid in digging‚ as well as‚ compact bodies

Roya Jamshidi Dr. Countryman PSY 101 March 7th‚ 2012 Psychological Journal #1: Sensory Adaptation Sensation is described as the stimulus of the receptors that our brain receives whenever we utilize any of our five senses such as hearing‚ seeing‚ smelling‚ tasting‚ or touching. Sensation travels through a process called transduction‚ which converts‚ by sensors in the body‚ of psychical signals from the environment into neural signals sent to the central nervous system (S & G‚ 2011‚ pg. 94)

mass extinctions over time. Because of the extinctions‚ adaptations appeared‚ more need to evolve became apparent‚ and made it easier to evolve via the climate and environment. The first thing extinctions influenced was adaptations. As stated in the documentary series: Walking with monsters‚ without specific animals‚ the environment changes. As the environments change‚ usually animals do as well. A specific example of this would be the adaptation of early Haikouichthys. Haikouichthys adapted many things

within the text itself. As for any distinguished writer or dramatist‚ the thematic reading of the given piece should reflect the social practices and moral standards of the era in which it was written (or takes place). This fact holds validity in any adaptation‚ any art form like film or music that transports a preexistent idea into a new context. With this in mind‚ it’s essential to examine Shakespearean literature in a historic light‚ and to identify each work as a representation of a given social environment

Adaptation/ Plasticity: The human brain is able to change and adapt at any given age as if it was made of plastic‚ with the help of brain mapping we are able to know what sections are the most flexible and how it affects human behavior. We (humans) start out being less well adapted to our environment than any other animal. By the time we are adults we can use tools that our genetic heritage couldn’t have possibly taught our nervous system to use like phones‚ computers‚ etc. This is due to neuroplasticity
