Lab report As part of my module Nip1002 I was required to perform a set of observational skills which included; pulse‚ blood pressure‚ respirations‚ hand washing and urinalysis and then compare them to previous results. In this lab report I am going to discuss blood pressure in detail. Procedure * Explain the procedure to the patient and gain consent * Wash hands thoroughly following the hand wash technique to prevent the transfer of bacteria * Clean equipment e.g. blood pressure cuff

The nervous system is the most important system in the body. It transmits impulses to and from the brain. Disruption of the nerve cells and fibers that transmit the messages severely impairs the body’s ability to carry out complex function. Once a disruption occurs‚ one may never recover and neurological function will steadily degrade. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that disrupts this network. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological disease in young adults between 20 and

of the brain and spinal cord. Neurones are found throughout the body with the majority found in the central nervous system. Neurones are specialized to process information in the body. Neurones convey this information to one another through the stimulation of a detector neurone. This causing a brief change in the electrochemical gradient resulting in the neurone moving away from its resting potential. This is known as an action potential. Once initiated the action potential travels the length of

Artificial electrical stimulation of the nervous system is one of the foundations of neurotechnology. However‚ the use of electrical currents to stimulate the nervous system presents several challenges. It is difficult to achieve selective stimulation of only the targeted neurons without activating neighboring neurons. Further‚ electrochemical reactions at the electrode-tissue interface may lead to electrode dissolution or tissue damage. As an alternative‚ magnetic stimulation can be used to stimulate

Central Nervous System Stimulants Types Stimulants can range from mild legal forms like caffeine to severe illegal drugs like methamphetamines. Each type has different effects at different levels and all can be lethal if taken in excessive quantities. The first type is the cocaine family which consists of cocaine HCL‚ cocaine freebase or crack‚ and cocaine paste. Then there are a wide arrange of amphetamines which are synthetic versions of the ephedra plant like Adderall which is used to help with

The Relationship Between The Nervous System and The Endocrine System The cells and tissues in the body are delicate and easily disrupted. They will only be able to function well if all aspects of their chemical and physical environment is continuously adjusted to keep them stable and in equilibrium. The process in which several body systems work together to maintain the balanced environment is called homeostasis. The endocrine and nervous system work closely together to help maintain homeostasis

Protein in the Digestive System Taylor Adams Biol 112- 501 18 April 2016 Introduction Proteins are found in nearly all foods that we eat. Once the food we eat makes its way to our stomachs‚ pepsinogen is released from chief cells. This enzyme mixes with hydrochloric acid in the stomach and begins to break down the proteins. Along with the stomach‚ the small intestine is also an important location for protein breakdown. The proteins from both locations are broken down into amino
