Chapter 11 Summary Cardiovascular System Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a collective term for various diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The leading cause of death in the United States because it affects nearly 83 million Americans. This disease is due to the way of our life mostly. Millions of Americans smoke‚ are overweight‚ have uncontrolled high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels‚ and they don’t even know the signs of CVD. Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease that can

Nicotine is a known stimulant increasing blood pressure‚ heart rate‚ and myocardial contractility by activating the release of catecholamine by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the adrenal medulla and postganglionic sympathetic nervous system [1]. Several possibilities may help explain this aberration. For one‚ the sample size may simply have been too small to accurately determine the effects of nicotine on heart rate. This possibility is supported by the experimental data of a larger

Glucose is a form of energy derived from carbohydrates. All living organisms requires energy to live and thrive. When glucose is ingested it is transported through the circulatory system by the various tissues and organs. This glucose will be used by the muscular and nervous system to complete day to day task. If the body is not in need of glucose it will be stored in the form of glycogen for a later date. The entire process starts with carbohydrates‚ for this paper we will be tracing the path of

Hugh Kim Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab 1. Prelab Part1. 1) Create no waste = The principle that encourages chemists to not create waste at the first place rather than cleaning it up afterwards effectively shifts the chemistry more environmentally conscious‚ as creating no waste would make the experiment efficient; the reactants will be reduced to only the essential ones and the product will be maximized‚ a change that would make the experiment economic. Also‚ if chemists aim to

Planarian Lab Report Hanna Klein Bishop Fenwick High School Planarian Lab Report Introduction Planarian worms are free-living flatworms that are not parasitic. Planarians have a three-cavity digestive system. Planarians are usually either carnivorous or scavengers. Planarians may eat other living‚ as well as dead‚ invertebrates‚ detritus or decaying organic matter. Planarians do not realize that are eating a lot‚ and can over eat resulting in death. Most planarians are freshwater forms that can

Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly
