In this experiment‚ several physiological parameters were observed in three patients before‚ during‚ and after moderate exercise. One of these parameters was the pulmonary airflow‚ which was recorded utilizing an Airflow Transducer. This device measures airflow using slight pressure differences created by the resistance of a screen inside the device. Pulmonary airflow is the rate of movement into and out of the lungs‚ and is directly proportional to the pressure difference of the intrapulmonary pressure

the chloride ion is part of hydrochloric acid‚ which maintains the strong acidity of the gastric juice6. One of the most serious consequences of vomiting is the loss of this acid from the stomach‚ which upsets the acid-base balance leading to metabolic alkalosis.6 Basic functions: the negative charge of chloride balances the positive charge from the sodium ion. They together help maintain the ECF volume and balance. They also aid in transmission of nerve impulses2. Chloride is the component of the HCl

Diabetic Emergencies Diabetic ketoacidosis ()()((D(KA) I. Definition: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body is unable to produce enough insulin and an increase in insulin counter-regulatory hormones (catecholamines‚ cortisol‚ glucagon and growth hormone). Insulin normally plays a key role in helping sugar (glucose) — a major source of energy for

Introduction: Maximal aerobic power (VO2max) is defined as “the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise”. By the application of exercise testing the maximal aerobic power of an individual can be attained through the use of direct or indirect tests. Testing of VO2max has many important applications‚ not only in world of sport science but also in medical disciplines. An athlete’s success in endurance related exercise significantly corresponds to their

Week 1 Chapter 1 1. What is the basic difference between anatomy and physiology? (p. 2) ANSWER: Anatomy (a-NAT-ō-mē; ana- = up; -tomy = process of cutting) is the science of structure and the relationships among structures. Physiology (fiz′-ē-OL-ō-jē; physio- = nature‚ -logy = study of) is the science of body functions‚ that is‚ how the body parts work. 2. Define each of the following terms: atom‚ molecule‚ cell‚ tissue‚ organ‚ system‚ and organism. (p. 6) ANSWER: AtomUnit of matter that makes
