Questions to Accompany Physio-Ex: Cardiovascular Dynamics 1. Describe the relationship between blood pressure and blood flow. Blood flow is the amount of blood flowing through a vessel‚ tissue‚ or organ during a given period of time and Blood pressure is the force exerted on a vessel wall by the blood traveling through it. 2. Describe the relationship between blood viscosity and blood flow. As blood viscosity increases‚ blood flow decreases. 3. Describe the relationship between vessel

Neurological Processes PSY/340 Neurological Processes Every animal has a brain‚ but humans have a more complex and unique brain in terms of giving individuals the power to think‚ plan‚ speak‚ act‚ and behave. It is an extremely complex organ that consists of many areas that all work together in unison in order for the body to perform the tasks it is told to perform. The brain is responsible for controlling both voluntary and involuntary actions and coordinates and controls other organs in the

Before looking at river landforms it is important to understand the more general role of rivers and to develop an awareness of the processes at work within rivers. It is through this knowledge that we will better undertand the processes at work in the geomorphology of the drainage basin. The role of rivers can be understood in very simple terms. The river’s role is to balance its load and transport it to the ocean. But this this idea of rivers as merely transporting weathered material to the ocean

DNA DIGESTION AND ELECTROPHORESIS In this experiment we will be doing a process called as DNA digestion or also known as restriction digest. A restriction digest is a procedure used in molecular biology to prepare DNA for analysis or other processing. It is sometimes termed DNA fragmentation‚ scientists Hartl and Jones describe it this way: This enzymatic technique can be used for cleaving DNA molecules at specific sites‚ ensuring that all DNA fragments that contain a particular sequence have the

Digestion define as a process where foods been breaking down by enzymatic action in the Gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) into nutrients in preparation for absorption. GI tract is the flexible muscular tube from mouth to anus. The digestion of carbohydrates begin in the mouth‚ where an enzyme‚ salivary amylase (α-amylase;ptyalin) starts to breaking the polysaccharides (starch) into short polysaccharides (dextrin). Dextrin is a partial degradation of starch‚ shorter chains of maltose units. Salivary

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 4 Endocrine System Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: Metabolism The following questions refer to Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates. 1. Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? The normal rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate. 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The normal rat’s baseline metabolic rate was faster than that of the thyroidectomized rat’s
