Dead Zones in the Baltic Sea Franki M Abstract Dead zones‚ also known as hypoxic zones‚ are areas in the ocean where oxygen levels have been depleted or are depleting. Hypoxia could be due to natural reasoning‚ but more commonly it is a result of careless and uninformed inhabitants of the coast near that ocean. Farming‚ sewage‚ factories and fishing are all major causes of dead zones. If our oceans continue to lose oxygen‚ we will eventually no longer have marine animals/marine

Respiration * Respiration * Gas exchange * Necessary because cells require oxygen. * Exchanging O2 and CO2 * Carbon Dioxide is a waste product and must be removed from the body. * Internal respiration = gas exchange at the cellular level. * Oxygen diffuses from the blood into the tissue cells. * External respiration = gas exchange at the alveoli level. * Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the blood in the pulmonary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and manifestations vary among children and incorporate poor coordination‚ stiff muscles‚ weak muscles‚ and tremors. There may be problems with sensation‚ hearing‚ vision‚ speech and swallowing. Other associated disorders incorporate seizures and cognitive problems [1]. It happens in about 2.1 per 1‚000 live births. Cerebral palsy is caused by abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain

breathing out a little. This increases the oxygen content being carried by the blood. The increased oxygen content reaches the inflamed area and helps reduce the swelling. There is inflammation caused by Hypoxia‚ which is is when there isn’t enough oxygen reaching the tissues. Swelling due to Hypoxia can be reduced because of the increase of oxygen being carried by the
