With increasing age‚ many elderly adults suffer a decline in physical‚ psychological and mental abilities which may necessitate admission into full-time care (De Visschere‚ de Baat‚ Schols‚ Deschepper‚ & Vanobbergen‚ 2011). As frailty increases‚ the elderly is less able to care for themselves which may lead to a decline oral health‚ which‚ in turn‚ is recognised as a risk factor in respiratory infections such as influenza and

Proteins and enzymes are also affected by temperature changes. Oxygen is essential for the production of ATP from nutrients in cells; consequently oxygen must be delivered to a cell in sufficient amounts. Within fish‚ the counter-current exchange system allows for the efficient extraction of oxygen from the water by the gills. Basically when a fish takes in water‚ the flow of it is opposite to the flow of blood. As they rush by each other oxygen from the water is given to the blood (metabolic rate is also

skeletal muscles and organ systems. In order to accommodate this rise in oxygen demand there must be an increase in the subject’s minute ventilation. The rise in minute volume‚ with exercise‚ could be accomplished by increasing the volume of each breath‚ the tidal volume‚ increasing the respiratory rate or by some combination of the two. In the subject’s case it was a combination of the two. Tidal volume is more effective at increasing minute ventilation than respiratory rate‚ however‚ if a subject
