There are four avenues of heat loss: convection‚ conduction‚ radiation‚ and evaporation (Wikipedia‚ 2012). If skin temperature is greater than that of the surroundings‚ the body can lose heat by radiation and conduction. But if

distance between two cities d. the size of an object under a microscope Measuring Displacements The direction and length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point of an object’s motion is displacement. Displacement and velocity are examples of vectors because they have both magnitude and direction. EX: A person walks 1 mile every day for exercise‚ leaving her front porch at 9:00 A.M. and returning to her front porch at 9:25 A.M. What is the total displacement of her

elastin are the predominant constituents of the middle tunica media‚ and the outermost tunica adventitia‚ or tunica externa‚ is a connective tissue layer of variable thickness that provides support and transmits smaller blood and lymphatic vessels and nerves. The thickness of each tunic varies widely with location and function of the vessel. Arteries‚ subjected to considerable pressure fluctuations‚ have thicker walls overall‚ with the tunica media being thicker than the tunica adventitia. Veins‚ in contrast

1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Alcohol drinking has been practiced in the majority of human society since early times. Alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a drug which acts principally as a depressant on central nervous system. Its effects on behavior are well known and regular use gives rise to an increased tolerance‚ so that the drinker needs to take gradually increasing amounts to obtain the same effect. Chronic excessive alcohol consumption leads to life threatening hazards (Best‚ 1999). Alcohol related diseases
