"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

Extraction of Caffeine from Thea sinensis Abstract Extraction of Caffeine from Thea sinensis main objective is to isolate‚ purify characterized caffeine from tea leaves. Sublimation technique was used to get the % yield which is 0.07%. The melting point of the standard caffeine with the sublimate is 229°C. Introduction The active ingredient that makes tea and coffee valuable to humans is caffeine. Caffeine is an alkaloid; a class of naturally occurring compounds containing nitrogen and

In this lab‚ caffeine was extracted from black tea‚ and green tea through a vacuum filtration‚ and a rotovap. The melting point of the sample of black tea was 219.12-236.05 ˚c‚ and for the green tea it was 176.22-227.6 ˚c. The % error of the melting point indicates how much error there was from the melting point taken experimentally. The % error of the melting point for black tea was 0.44%‚ and for green tea it is 3.15%.Since the theoretical melting point of caffeine is between 235-237 ˚c‚ we can

Report The effect of caffeine on long-term memory Introduction: What is caffeine? Caffeine is one of the commonly consumed or most ingested stimulant or psychoactive substance in the world‚ known for it’s effect on vigilance and alertness level (A. Smith‚ 2002) or at least perceived to jolt our tired brains‚ when consumed in normal or moderate quantity. Caffeine is available to us from various sources like coffee‚ tea‚ cocoa‚ soft drinks and other such products. Caffeine is basically 1‚3‚7-trimethylxanthine

the extraction of caffeine from tea leaves to determine its % caffeine. The extraction process selectively dissolves one or more compounds in a mixture into an appropriate solvent. In this experiment‚ it was visible in the process wherein the components of the tea leaves were dissolved in two solvents‚ water and dichloromethane (DCM)‚ with DCM used for multiple extractions. The organic layer was evaporated and the determined % caffeine was 0.12%. Furthermore‚ the purified caffeine was subjected to

Situation: Two patients in their 70s present to the office at different times today‚ each with documented heart failure: one diastolic and the other systolic‚ and both are hypertensive. First‚ discuss the difference between systolic and diastolic heart failure‚ providing appropriate pathophysiology. ACEI/ARBs are the only medications prescribed for CHF that have been found to prolong life and improve the quality of that life. EXPLAIN the mechanism of action of ACEI/ARBs and how they affect morbidity

Caffeine‚ the stimulant in coffee‚ has been called “the most widely used psychoactive substance on Earth .” Synder‚ Daly and Bruns have recently proposed that caffeine affects behavior by countering the activity in the human brain of a naturally occurring chemical called adenosine. Adenosine normally depresses neuron firing in many areas of the brain. It apparently does this by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters‚ chemicals that carry nerve impulses from one neuron to the next. Like

This I Believe I believe in caffeine. I believe in caffeine because it keeps me alert‚ not quite awake‚ but alert. After a full night of studying‚ cramming on procrastinated homework‚ or just refusing to go to sleep‚ caffeine keeps you alert enough to be aware of the happenings of your day. But why would a 17 year old girl believe in caffeine‚ a chemical usually depended upon by truck drivers and stressed out adults working a daily 9-5? This is because of a 17 year old girl’s awareness of the
