Essay 4: Legalization of Marijuana We the people in the US try to use reason and logic to determine our laws. as a consequence of this intellectual process‚ we develop graded scales for punishment and degrees of illegality. The more dangerous an activity the more illegal and higher punishment‚ lesser activities are either not illegal or endorsed. Marijuana illegality defies this rational thinking in that it is less detrimental than alcohol and cigarettes and yet is treated far worse. Most pharmaceutical

The tissues are not able to use the oxygen in the blood‚ which creates Cerebral hypoxia. Cerebral hypoxia is when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen. If this continues‚ the skin may also appear bluish‚ the heart rate may increase‚ nosebleed‚ headache‚ the blood cells’ numbers may change‚ and much more. They might faint‚ lose consciousness

varicose veins for years without ulceration)] Ulceration is caused by hypoxia‚ which is a decrease in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues. Limiting the amount of oxygen can cause ulceration from minor trauma from the decreased capability of the body to respond to cellular demand. Ulceration can also be caused by the increased vascular permeability causing fibrin to adhere to the capillary walls. The barrier can also cause hypoxia. The increase in blood flow from venous htn triggers an inflammatory

Hypoxia is a deficiency of oxygen‚ which causes cell injury by reducing aerobic oxidative respiration. Hypoxia is an extremely important and common cause of cell injury and cell death. Causes of hypoxia include ischemia‚ cardiorespiratory failure‚ and decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood‚ after severe blood loss. Depending on the severity

1.0 Definitions of Sepsis ! Sepsis is often referred to as either blood poisoning or septicaemia. Sepsis occurs when an infections spreads through the blood‚ causing symptoms to develop throughout the whole body. It is where the body’s defence mechanisms respond to an infection in some part of the body which resulting in symptoms such as fever‚ hypothermia‚ heart rate greater than 90 beats per minute‚ altered mental status‚ swelling of the extremities‚ and high blood glucose in diabetic

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water; and‚ in almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and populations‚ but also to the natural biological communities.
