Sleeping: Sleeping is associated with a state of muscle relaxation and limited perception of environmental stimuli. Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness‚ relatively suspended sensory activity‚ and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli‚ and is more easily reversible than being in hibernation or a coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state‚ accentuating the growth

Several researchers published an empirical article called the “Comparison of the Effects of Hydration with Water or Isotonic Solution on the Recovery of Cardiac Autonomic Modulation”. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of hydrating after strenuous activity. The ideal time that someone hydrates by drinking water‚ Gatorade‚ or any other sport drink is unclear. The researchers do know‚ however‚ that hydration helps with tolerance to strenuous activity because it helps regulate

Thermogenesis is the process of heat production in organisms. It occurs mostly in warm-blooded animals‚ but a few species of thermogenic plants exist. One form of thermogenesis is called thermo-regulatory thermogenesis. This is involved with keeping the temperature of the human body regulated. The average body temperature is 98.7 degrees (F)‚ which is quite a bit higher than the ambient (surrounding) temperature in most cases. There are two types of thermo-regulatory thermogenesis: shivering and

DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS INTRODUCTION Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a very serious complication of diabetes mellitus‚ a metabolic disorder that is characterized by hyperglycemia‚ metabolic acidosis‚ and increased body ketone concentrations. The most common causes of DKA are infection and poor compliance with medication regimens. Other causes include undiagnosed diabetes‚ alcohol abuse‚ and a multitude of medical conditions such as cerebrovascular accident (CVA)‚ complicated pregnancy‚ myocardial

The Effect of pH on the Rate of Enzyme Catalysis of Catalase Objectives: The objective of this lab was to develop a protocol to investigate the effect of an environmental variable on the catalytic function of an enzyme. More specifically‚ the objective was to perform an experiment in order to test the effect of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for reactions. This simply means that enzymes lower the activation energy required

In accordance with the definition given by Michael‚ 2004‚ p.30‚ the principle of reinforcement is defined as follows: ‘’When a type of behaviour (R) is followed by reinforcement (Sr) there will be an increased future frequency of that type of behaviour’’. Following this definition‚ we can say that a child’s cries at night after being put to bed by his parents is reinforced when the parents come to comfort him in the room to calm him down and so the child’s cries become more probable‚ as it has as

In this investigation Dr.Modi and Dr. Krahn do some testing and get some family background information. First they found out that through this survivor their family history was not cardiac related at all. They ran a test called baseline electrolyte and metabolic testing to look at the cardiac electricity. This is to see if was related to the cardiac arrest. Coronary imaging was another test the doctors ran and didn’t show any abnormalities. Usually this type of test is to see if the patient
