Definitions of attitude An attitude can be defined as a positive or negative evaluation of people‚ objects‚ event‚ activities‚ ideas‚ or just about anything in your environment‚ but there is debate about precise definitions. Eagly and Chaiken‚ for example‚ define an attitude "a psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity with some degree of favor or disfavor."[2] Though it is sometimes common to define an attitude as affect toward an object‚ affect (i.e.‚ discrete

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION A careful and detailed clinical assessment is essential in order to assess the likely cause and severity of symptoms‚ arrange appropriate investigations and referral‚ avoid unnecessary investigations‚ and to assess individual risk of cardiovascular disease or cardiomyopathy.

Then they will also ask whether you have noticed any recent changes in your peripheral vision. After asking about your family health history‚ your doctor will look for the symptoms of acute glaucoma. Symptoms Although open-angle glaucoma and acute glaucoma both cause blindness‚ their symptoms are very different. Open-angle glaucoma

Cardiovascular Diseases Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries‚ capillaries and veins). The causes of cardiovascular disease are diverse but atherosclerosis and/or hypertension are the most common. the biggest cause of deaths Types.=)) * Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries‚ usually caused by atherosclerosis or buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries

cardiac output (CO)‚ stroke volume (SV) and peripheral resistance (PR). CO is referred to the amount of blood that is being pumped out of each ventricle within 1 minute (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016‚ pp. 688). CO is also the overall product of both heart rate and SV (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016‚ pp 688). Stroke volume (SV) refers to the volume of blood being pumped out of a single ventricle during one contraction of the heart valve(s). Finally‚ the term‚ “peripheral” refers to the systemic circulation‚ as it is

The Nervous System The nervous system is the most complex part of the body‚ as they govern our thoughts‚ feelings‚ and bodily functions. It is an important factor in science because it can lead to new discoveries for cures or diseases. The studies of the nervous system helped lower death rates from heart disease‚ stroke‚ accidents‚ etc. The nervous system is a network of neurons (nerve cells) that that sends information to the brain to be analyzed. Neurons live both in and outside the central nervous

Late phase is the inflammatory response mediate by peripheral effect via release some inflammatory mediator/transmitter.

alone can transmit 4.3 X 106 bits of information per second to the brain. Feigenbaum (1967) suggested that some peripheral device‚ sometimes called a peripheral device‚ sometimes called a peripheral memory system‚ operates like a sensory buffer to prevent the brain from being overwhelmed by the torrent of information flowing onto it. How might a machine be made to mimic this peripheral mechanism? A logical step is to develop some sensing capacity. One such proposal can be seen in the work done on

which is made up of the sensory and control apparatus consisting of a network of nerve cells that control our body functions. There are two main nervous systems: Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous system. Your central nervous system (CNS) consists of your brain and spinal cord. Where as the Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) consists of sensory neurons running from stimulus receptors that inform the CNS of the stimuli and the motor neurons running from the CNS to the muscles and glands - called
