Encephalitis Specific Purpose Statement: At the end of my speech‚ my audience will be familiar with the disease Encephalitis; an inflammation of the brain usually caused by a viral infection. Thesis statement: I will tell you about Encephalitis‚ by defining it‚ exploring its causes‚ discussing symptoms and diagnoses‚ and a few possible treatments. Introduction: I. Imagine for a second that you are 5 years old. A. Your friends call you up to go out and play on Sunday but you can’t because

The affect of psychological stress on the heart rate. Introduction: The human body is incredible machinery that can adjust to stressful situations and react in a “fight-or flight” manner by temporarily shutting off nonessential‚ at the moment‚ immune and digestive systems. When the body is ready for a challenge‚ heart rate increases‚ blood pressure rises and glucose production intensifies to supply large amounts of energy. These metabolic changes are caused by release of stress hormones (catecholamine

Brain activity resulting from viewing an advertisement is monitored and measured using neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ as shown in Figure 1‚ and electroencephalography (EEG) is used in order to evaluate the Figure 1 fMRI Image effectiveness of these strategies (Laybourne & Lewis 2005).

Sleeping: Sleeping is associated with a state of muscle relaxation and limited perception of environmental stimuli. Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness‚ relatively suspended sensory activity‚ and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli‚ and is more easily reversible than being in hibernation or a coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state‚ accentuating the growth

What is huffing? The intentional breathing of gas or vapors with the purpose of reaching a high. What does huffing do to the brain? Changes the electrical activity of the brain. On a elecroencephalograpghy‚ (or EEG) the brain will show up as sharp impulses. What toxic effects and the "risks" that occur with this practice on the body. The brain: changes the electrical activity within the brain‚ possibly resulting in hallucinations and convulsions. Also the center of emotional behavior

Danielle Rollins Cardiovascular Physiology Activity 1 1) Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. The ventricular contraction is when the blood is sent through the whole body as opposed to the atrial contraction that sends the blood to the heart and lungs. 2) Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. (Hint: relate your response to the refractory period of the cardiac action
