Running Header: Peripheral Arterial Disease Peripheral Arterial Disease April 22‚ 2010 ME 1352 Abstract Peripheral Arterial Disease is a common secondary disease that follows Atherosclerosis. Once so much plaque builds up in the arteries‚ they become block the blood flow. P.A.D. usually affects the lower extremities and can cause intermittent claudication and‚ if severe enough‚ gangrene. Many people live with atherosclerosis and P.A.D. and show no symptoms. There are numerous prevention

While the peripheral route to persuasion is when the audience decides to agree with the argument due to factors outside of it‚ like the validity of the source or how attractive the person making the argument is.

This information was transmitted through my body via the peripheral nervous system to my brain. This is an apparent example of anatomical encoding. The brain then interpreted the signals coming from these receptors‚ and formed a perception of coarseness. This is an illustration of functional encoding. This perceived
