Introduction The experiment aimed to establish a correlation between caffeine intake and the effects it has on both the pulse and respiration rates of an individual after undergoing moderate-intense cardiovascular exercise. Caffeine itself is one of the most heavily consumed drugs on the planet; it is estimated that over 90% of Americans consume caffeine daily (Richard Lovett‚ 2005‚ New Scientist iss. 2518) and is the most widely used stimulant in the world (Arcerio‚ P‚ Ormsbee‚ J‚ 2009‚ pg. 1)

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 11 Blood Analysis NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: Hematocrit Determination 1. Hematocrit values are usually ( *higher / lower ) in healthy males‚ compared to healthy females. Give one possible explanation for this. 2. Living at high elevations will cause a person’s hematocrit to ( *increase / decrease ). Explain your answer. 3. Long-term athletic training will cause a person’s hematocrit to ( *increase / decrease ). 4. What is anemia? Condition where inadequate

Terms | Definitions | Explan why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction | the ventricle contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction‚ this is due to the fact that ventricle’s fxn is to send blood throughout the body. | Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation in cardiac muscle. | amplitude does not change because the cardiacs long refractory period prevents summation. | Why is

Computer Simulation: Gambling is known to be a vice of many men. An activity that requires one to bet their cold hard cash that they earned through their jobs and to bet it all on a luck and the slim chance that they would somehow beat the odds and receive what they had betted and much more. Gambling has been proven to stimulate the brains reward system that similar to how drugs and alcohol stimulate the brains reward system. But dabbling in such activities‚ such as gambling with cards and dice‚

Eliciting (Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? Depolarization has to do with surfaces becoming more negative or positive and reaches a certain point called a threshold. When the threshold is reached‚ an action potential is initiated. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? The threshold voltage in Activity 1 was 3.0. 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes

Advantages: >Computer simulation can allow you to see how a system might respond before you design or modify it. This avoids mistakes and one can try different ideas before the real product is produced‚ making it cheaper as there is no need to make different prototypes every time and testing them out. Example: It is safer and cheaper to use a model and simulation for some real world objects such as nuclear power plants. >It is an advantage to find this out in a model rather than testing the real

Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 3: The Effect of Stimulus Frequency on Skeletal Muscle Contraction Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. During a single twitch of a skeletal muscle You correctly answered: b. maximal force is never achieved. 2. When a skeletal muscle is repetitively stimulated‚ twitches can overlap each other and result in a stronger muscle contraction than a stand-alone twitch. This phenomenon is known as

EXERCISE 8 - Rotational Dynamics‚ Equilibrium of rigid body 1. If the torque required to loosen a nut that is holding a flat tire in place on a car has a magnitude of 40.0 N m‚ what minimum force must be exerted by the mechanic at the end of a 30.0-cm lug wrench to accomplish the task? 133 N 2. A steel band exerts a horizontal force of 80.0 N on a tooth at point B in Figure 1. What is the torque on the root of the tooth about point A? 0.64 Nm 3. Calculate the net torque (magnitude and
