Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into the cell

JOB STRESS Bagya. D M.A.‚M.ED.‚D.T.E. PONDICHERRY CENTRAL UNIVERSITY. INDIA. Stress is derived from the Latin word "Stringere" which means to draw tight. Stress is a dynamic condition in which an individual is confronted with an opportunity‚ demand or resource related to what the individual desires and for which the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important (Cooper et. al. 2002). Stress has been a focus of study in medical science where it has been defined as a perturbation of
Premium Stress Physiology Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the tendency of an organism or a cell to regulate its internal conditions‚ usually by a system of feedback controls‚ so as to stabilize health and functioning‚ regardless of the outside changing conditions. Humans use homeostasis to regulate control systems such as body temperature‚ osmotic balance‚ blood pressure‚ blood glucose and respiratory gases in tissues. This report will focus on thermoregulation‚ which is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain

renaissance there were 3 significant figures‚ who were Andreas Vesalius who was famous for his knowledge in anatomy‚ Ambroise Paré who was famous for his advances in surgery‚ and William Harvey who was famous for working out how the body worked (physiology). These three made extremely big and definitely important discoveries‚ but for different reasons never really at the time came about to have an importance. Andreas Vesalius published a book entitled “The Fabric of the Human Body” which was published

hospital was the strength these Nurses and sisters have to withstand long hours of work as well as the patients needs. I must say being a Nurse is no joke‚ its hard work and requires dedication. During class time we were taught the Human Anatomy and Physiology we require as well as our practical’s which have brought all these Human Anatomy classes to life. The skills lab sessions have equipped us with the necessary skills needed for our days in hospital. Conducting this journal has allowed me to express
