ESL246 Montana 3/25/2012 Reflection Paper Over spring break‚ I watched a documentary film named Super-Size Me. This film was produced in 2004‚ in America. It talks about how fast food influences people’s health and body. Morgan Spurlock is the producer of this film. From this film‚ I learned the reasons why American people like to choose fast food restaurants and how fast food affects their health. There are about 1/4 Americans who eat in fast food restaurants‚ like McDonalds‚ KFC and Burger King

For example money‚ good grades. There are further three categorizations of motivation: • Homeostatic motives • Biogenic motives • Social Motives Homeostatic Motives: Homeostasis: The ability or tendency of an organism to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes. For example‚ Sweating when internal temperature becomes excessive and shivering to produce heat. Homeostatic motives include hunger‚ thirst and respiration and these motives work to keep the body in balanced

POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME (1) Etiology Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have abnormalities in the metabolism of androgens and estrogen and in the control of androgen production. High serum concentrations of androgenic hormones‚ such as testosterone‚ androstenedione‚ and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S)‚ may be encountered in these patients. However‚ individual variation is considerable‚ and a particular patient might have normal androgen levels. PCOS is also associated with

When I think of biofeedback I think about meditation and yoga‚ this is a technique that you can use to learn to control your body and your mind. It can help you to stay focused and relaxed in a stressful or non-stressful situation. This type of feedback can help you make subtle changes in your life such as reducing pain. It also gives you the power to use your imagination to control your body‚ and can often help with your physical performances and any health issues that you may have. There are many

The risk of death increases with age‚ inhalation injury and burn area. Burns can cause tissue damage‚ electrolyte imbalance and organ system failure. There are several different depths of burns: First degree‚ Second degree‚ and Third degree. First degree burns (partial thickness injury) include the epidermis only. The affected skin is able to maintain water vapor

Homeostasis: An Analogy Reginald Robinson BIO1000 Capella University The homeostatic mechanism that regulates body temperature is called hypothalamus. It senses when your body’s temperature is too hot or cold. When your body is too hot‚ the hypothalamus senses that a change needs to be made so to reverse the heating process‚ thus reducing the amount of blood that is being sent to that area. This same action will cool the body and return it to a normal temperature. The ways in which

these changes are referred to as stimuli as they are what stimulate the change in internal conditions. The body detects these changes with receptors which communicate signals to the hypothalamus in the brain which is the control centre for this homeostatic system. The hypothalamus responds to these signals by causing an effector to bring about an appropriate response which will keep the internal environment of an organism constant in the changing external environment. An example of homeostasis is
