Lab 28B: Endocrine System Physiology Computer Simulation Introduction The endocrine system is the second greatest control system of the body and has many effects on the tissues and organs. The thyroid gland‚ which is a part of the endocrine system‚ releases a hormone that maintains metabolism. This hormone is thyroxine. Thyroxine production is controlled by thyroid stimulating hormone‚ which is released by the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. In

Physiology : Eating • Digestive system – stores and uses energy – Absorption & Fasting – See diagrams • Describe how brain & rest of body controls eating (100%) or role of Hypothalamus Metabolism – Absorption & Fasting When we eat we must obtain adequate amounts of carbohydrates‚ fats‚ amino acids‚ vitamins and minerals to construct and maintain our organs‚ to obtain energy for muscular movement and for keeping our bodies warm. Most of the molecules we eat get ‘burned’ to provide the

1 SN2 Reaction‚ Ionic Liquid (Group – hood) Background Reading Solomons and Fryhle Chapter 6 (Substitution/Elimination Reactions) Techniques: Weights and Measures‚ Reflux‚ Liquid-Liquid Extraction‚ Distillation. Introduction The SN2 reaction is a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction where the nucleophile (a molecule with a free pair of electrons) reacts with an alkyl halide and replaces the halogen (for more details see Solomons and Fryle‚ Chapter 6). The nucleophile approaches

Cardiovascular Case Study: Atrial Fibrillation and Oral Anticoagulation Scenario You are the nurse working in an anticoagulation clinic. K.N. is a patient who has a longstanding irregularly irregular heartbeat (atrial fi brillation‚ or A-fi b) for which he takes the oral anticoagulant warfarin (Coumadin). Recently‚ K.N. had his mitral heart valve replaced with a mechanical valve. You know that there are different PT/INR (prothrombin time/International Normalized Ratio) goal recommendations based

The purpose of this experiment was to observe the process of human evolution by observing similar features of the Pan troglodytes‚ Australopithecus afarensis‚ Homo erectus‚ Gorilla gorilla‚ Australopithecus boisei and the‚ Homo neanderthalensis in comparison to those of the Homo sapien. According to Darwinism‚ the species that had the most traits in common with the Homo sapien must be the most related while species with the least traits in common with the Homo sapien were the least similar. For example
