tissue which provides the skins elasticity and strength it also contains sensory nerve endings‚ blood and lymph vessels‚ sebaceous and sweat glands. Under this layer is the subcutaneous fat layer; this separates the skin from the underlying bone and muscle with rich blood supply it also serves as an insulator and energy store. Pressure ulcers develop when a large amount of pressure is applied to an area of skin over a short period of time. Or‚ they can occur when less force is applied but over a period

Thato’s muscle had remained unused for 6 weeks. Once the cast is removed and he steps down from the examination table‚ his muscle begins to contract. Due to this 6 week period of rest‚ the muscles initial strength of contraction may be significantly low as compared to its strength a few minutes later. The strength of contraction of his muscle increases to a plateau‚ which is termed the staircase effect. Due to his muscles low initial strength of contraction‚ Thato loses his balance and falls. 1

Clint Casey Planarians I. Diet: Planarians are carnivorous and eat other smaller animals. They also eat detritus‚ diatoms‚ dead animals‚ and decaying organic matter. (1) II. Predators: Larger carnivores eat planarians. Some fish such as the Crossocheilus siamensis (Siamese Algae Eater) have been studied to remove planarians from fish tanks. (3) III. Range: Most planarians live in fresh-water bodies. They also live in all oceans‚ and in moist terrestrial habitats. (5) IV. Microhabitat:

Fluid‚ Electrolyte‚ and pH Balance 1. The maintenance of normal volume and composition of extracellular and intracellular fluids is vital to life. List and briefly describe the kinds of homeostasis involved. In males and females‚ intracellular fluid has a greater proportion of total body water than does extracellular fluid. Give-and-take between the ICF and the ECF happens across plasma membranes by osmosis‚ diffusion‚ and carrier-mediated transport. The kinds of homeostasis involved are fluid

Describe the main muscle groups of the body and their function There are three main categories that the muscles in the human body fall into: • Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle is the foremost area of concern for a sports masseuse. The main functions of this muscle group is to move the body in a voluntary manner‚ for example‚ if you want to kick a ball you will voluntarily have to send a signal through your brain to inform the muscles in your legs to contract/flex/extend and execute the skill
