6. Is the respiratory system functioning better or worse than it did in the previous activity? Explain why. Worst‚ because the breathing is more shallow and incomplete. The lungs are not able to inhale or exhale as much as in Activity 2. 7. What is the effect of reducing the radius of the air flow tube on respiratory volumes? The air flow was decreasing‚ which decreased the respiratory volume. 8. What does the air flow tube simulate in the human body? The trachea 9. What could be some possible

person would be quite tired/exhausted‚ but with the correct fitness exercises to work on cardiovascular endurance it would get easier and easier to run such an event. The reason your cardio performance can be improved is because the heart is a muscle‚ and like all other muscles in the body if you keep working it it will adapt to the workload given. This allows us to have direct control of how healthy one of the most important systems in our body is. Your body will also adapt to running the aquathon

Lab 28B: Endocrine System Physiology Computer Simulation Introduction The endocrine system is the second greatest control system of the body and has many effects on the tissues and organs. The thyroid gland‚ which is a part of the endocrine system‚ releases a hormone that maintains metabolism. This hormone is thyroxine. Thyroxine production is controlled by thyroid stimulating hormone‚ which is released by the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. In

Democritus was a philosopher born at Abdera in Thrace around 460 BC; he lived to be very old but died at an unknown date. He was a student of Leucippus‚ and co-originator of the belief that all matter is made up of various imperishable indivisible elements which he called atoms. It is virtually impossible to tell which of these ideas were unique to Democritus‚ and which are attributable to Leucippus. Democritus is also the first philosopher we know to realize that what we perceive as the Milky Way
