Physiology Assignment After searching for a couple of days and still being unsure of what I was going to write about I turned and was watching my fish in my fish tank and realized that was what I would do it on. Then I realized that I spend many hour throughout the week watching my fish swim around‚ it is almost therapeutic. I found that the anatomy and physiology of a fish is very unique so that they can exist in the different underwater environments. In this paper we will cover their circulatory

LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

one glomerulus and one U-shaped tubule that drain the waste into the renal pelvis. [4]The glomerular filtration barrier consists of endothelial cells‚ the glomerular basement membrane and visceral epithelial cells. Figure 1 shows the basic anatomy of the kidney. [4] All molecules below the molecular size of albumin pass the filter and enter the tubule. An intricate counter current system forms a high osmotic gradient in the renal medulla that concentrates the filtrate.[4] The tubular epithelial cells

Examine one interaction between cognition and physiology in terms of behaviour. Cognition is the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought‚ experience‚ and the senses. Physiology refers to the way the organisms work in response. These interactions between a cognitive process and physiology create human behavior. one example of this interaction is the way mirror neurons work and how the body acts in response to these neurons. A mirror neuron is a neuron

Introduction: The question investigated in this lab was which drugs have the greatest and least affect on the pulse of the Lumbriculus variegates. Ethanol will cause the worms to become inactive‚ caffeine will cause the worms to become overactive‚ and nicotine will cause the worms to become more active. Lumbriculus variegatus is also known as black worm. This small species of worms currently lives in North America and Europe within marshes and ponds. They survive by eating microorganisms and organic

Introduction: Homeostasis is the tendency of the body to seek and maintain equilibrium‚ a state of balance‚ within its internal environment. Endotherms are “warm blooded” animals that produce and maintain their own internal body heat. Most mammals and a few birds‚ are endotherms; this is beneficial because the enzymes in the body that carry out metabolic processes have an optimum temperature at which they function‚ having the body constantly be‚ or be close to‚ this optimum internal temperature

What is the concept of Homeostasis? Homeostasis is the process of which the body attempts to maintain a state of stable physiological balance. The body has to have homeostasis to stay alive‚ if you take a psychoactive drug‚ for example a drug that may affect your mood swings and distorted perceptions. Your body then attempts to bring itself back into physiologic balance and this may create a rebound effect. The normal temperature for a human being is 36-37.5 degree C If your body gets too cold

Vivien Thomas was instrumental in devolving heart surgery that saved many babies lives and revolutionized how future heart surgeons would deal with heart problems. I chose this topic because I think Vivien Thomas was a very interesting person. Not a lot of people know about him even thought he was one of the first people to try to do surgery on the heart. So far in my project I have gone to the library and looked online. I got a lot of great information from books and the articles I have read.

Dissection of the Respiratory System of the Fetal Pig Inferior to the Larynx Dissection is an art. We must carefully and accurately dissect the pig so we can identify all important parts. We must use caution when carrying and cleaning sharp dissection tools. Dissection must help us to get to figure out specific parts of the organ that we need. In general‚ dissection in biology lab will help us to see of how all the systems get together in an entire organism. We will get to see how
