During reading chapter two‚ the first section talked about the physical growth and development of a newborn. It discussed how the head occupies the proportion of the newborn’s body. Also‚ it discussed the two patterns that newborns go through when developing. The first pattern is called cephalocaudal pattern. Cephalocaudal pattern is the sequence in which the earliest growth always occurs at the top. Another pattern discussed is called proximodistal pattern. Proximodistal pattern is the sequence

catalyses the cleavage of bonds through the addition of water. For this experiment‚ we pay close attention to the reaction where arginase catalyses the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. This reaction is a part of the urea cycle and occurs in mammalian livers and sometimes kidneys. The reactions take place within the mitochondria and cytosol(Nelson and Cox 2008). To investigate these reactions we measure the amount of urea produced with the use a sample of liver extract containing arginase. This

1: HOMEOSTASIS: A FRAMEWORK FOR HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY An understanding of homeostasis is essential to the successful mastery of physiology. It is one of the unifying concepts of physiology. Even though our review of various systems of the body are presented across differetn weeks‚ they are all inextricably linked by their role in maintaining the constant internal environment of the body. Learning objectives: The Scope of Human Physiology Students should be able to: identify physiology as the

Ever since the devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) emerged in the mid-1990’s‚ the Tasmanian devils’ population has been on a rapid decline. As these devils are a keystone species of their ecosystem‚ their decline has allowed non-native predators such as cats and black rats to flourish and decrease the number of native prey. This effect is an example of the top-down keystone predator hypothesis. Due to the downfall of the devils‚ Australia’s once most intact faunal communities has diverted into an invasive

that pull his strings in ways to create the show they fancy. “Are all actions motivated egoistically?” This generalized question has been a debate for so long. In order to judge whether it’s guilty of being considered a tautology we need to define and dive in depth of the word egoism along with the phrase “human actions” and see if they coincide at all cases. The term egoism is derived from “ego” the Latin term for “I”. Egoism is the habit of valuing everything only by referring to one’s personal interest

Biology investigation: Liver and hydrogen peroxide By Cuong Tran Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the optimum temperature for enzyme activity. The stated hypothesis was that 37oC would be the optimum temperature for liver enzymes to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The dependent variable was to measure the amount of foam being produced‚ while testing 4 different temperatures with 3 repetitions each. Out of the 12 trials only 2 outliers were found
