Those of the Hopi and Zuni had a matrilineal exogenous clans‚ integrative sodalities‚ as well as warrior societies. Their civic and ceremonial leaders were also considered as clan leaders. Clan leaders controlled land‚ ritual technologies‚ knowledge about nonhuman agencies‚ and the many artifacts used (kivas‚ idols‚ altar materials). Individual sodality members may manage their own Katsina masks. The Keresans had a matrilineal exogenous clans and a dual-division ceremonial system where they utilized

Cardiac Pacemakers The heart is bestowed with a specialized system that automatically generates rhythmic control via the sinus node‚ located in the superior lateral wall of the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava. The specialized pacemaker cells dictate control of the rest of the heart through regular electrical impulses that propagate from the right atria to the lower ventricles. The rapid conduction of these impulses cause the muscle cells of the atria to contract

I strongly believe in the case of Marion and the pacemaker‚ the nurses were most definitely overstepping their boundaries. “A pacemaker is a small device which is placed in the chest to help stimulate the heart muscles.” [1] In the case of 92 year old Marion‚ given her age‚ medical condition‚ her high prevalence of dementia and her decision that was made when she was in her right state of mind to not have her life prolonged. I would say her daughters made the right decision. Boundary crossing occurred

The Path of the Cardiac Pacemaker The cardiac pacemaker has been around for a very long time and will to continue to be around for even longer. The historical and future path of the pacemaker is endless with possibilities only limited by technology. Every day research labs try to find ways to make the life better for anyone that may need to have one implanted. Around 40% of all human deaths are attributed to cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac pacing has become a therapeutic tool used worldwide with

Action potential‚ impulse conduction (italics)‚ and cardiac cycle (bold) Pacemaker cells in the SA node‚ found in the wall of right atrium‚ begin as polarized‚ with Na+ on the outside of the cell (sarcolemma) and the cell at its resting potential (-80 mV in the atria‚ -90 mV in the ventricles). The atria are full or filling with blood. The SA (and technically the AV) nodal cells gradually drift towards their threshold after each repolarization and depolarize (the prepotential: spontaneous depolarization)

Abstract Bionics is a field‚ which combines both electronics and biology. In simple terms‚ when we think about bionics‚ it is generally more about prosthetic arms or leg enhancement worn outside the body and‚ to some extend‚ even implanted sensor devices inside the body‚ which are essentially enhanced to carry out certain routine tasks. These are essentially life systems that are powered by motors/actuators and sensory arrays. These send neural signals from affected part of the body to the brain
