PCP:PCP and its Affects on the Human Body PCP or Phencyclidine is a very deadly drug in today ’s society. PCP was developed in the 1950 ’s as an anesthetic. Use of PCP in humans was discontinued in 1965‚ because it was found that patients often became agitated‚ delusional‚ and irrational while recovering from its effects. PCP is illegally manufactured in laboratories and is sold on the street by such names as "diabolic" "wet" and "digital". The variety of street names for PCP reflects its bizarre

Homeostasis: An Analogy Reginald Robinson BIO1000 Capella University The homeostatic mechanism that regulates body temperature is called hypothalamus. It senses when your body’s temperature is too hot or cold. When your body is too hot‚ the hypothalamus senses that a change needs to be made so to reverse the heating process‚ thus reducing the amount of blood that is being sent to that area. This same action will cool the body and return it to a normal temperature. The ways in which

1. Do you think mimicking a genuine smile can help to reduce levels of stress? Why or why not? Stress is a negative feeling induced by a wide range of stressors which brings forth changes to our body physically and mentally. Intense and prolonged pressure would make us stressful and lead to the warning signal of our body showing that we are more vulnerable to stress-related disorders such as heart disease and depression (Kemeny‚ 2003). Therefore‚ when human beings encounter stress‚ they would

Concepts of Lifetime Fitness September 1‚ 1997 Homeostasis is the state of equilibrium in which the internal environment of the human body remains relatively constant. Two excellent examples of homeostasis are how the body maintains a constant temperature and blood pressure during strenuous physical activity or exercise. Although there are many other activities in the body that display homeostasis‚ I will only discuss these two. Temperature in the human body is usually kept at approximately

Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen

Michel Foucault- Right of Death and Power over Life The concept is important. Don’t get to the details. * In ancient Roman times‚ power of the sovereign over his subjects could be exercised in an absolute and unconditional way. The king had the authority to directly expose the life of his subjects in times of war and thus he held an indirect power over them of life and death. * During the classical age in the West‚ this death that was based on the right of the sovereign was not manifested

Previous research shows that Republicans and Democrats do not get along. They avoid dating each other‚ and desire not to live with each other. Since we know this‚ the question that remains is would you consider someone equally as attractive as you did before knowing his or her political stance? This current study utilized the concept of political stance as an aspect of ones identity to attempt to show the impact of similarity of political stance on attraction. 95 females and 27 males with a mean
